-Okay. From here on. It's going to get crazy. Like I said at the beginning. It's going to get darker.
Chapter 13: The Battle
"Heh, heh. I like that part."
"You always are the one for jumping people."
"I'm an expert."
"How are you an expert at jumping people?"
"……."
"Thought so."
"There are no written rules about it."
"That's why you're not an expert."
"Well are you an expert at anything?"
"Look around you."
"Okay. Drugs. Continue with the tale."

Curly drove by Johnny's house and dropped him off. Pony was quiet the whole way back. Johnny didn't give it any mind.
'He would get used to it like I did,' he said to himself.
As Curly pulled up to Johnny's house, he said,
"Meet at my place tomorrow."
"Alright."
Johnny walked into his house. He wanted to go ahead and rest up for tomorrow. He walked in and his dad was standing right at the entrance of his room. Obviously waiting for him.
"I heard you yelled at your mother. You should show her some respect!"
Johnny rolled his eyes. His dad was just trying to find another excuse to beat him. It wasn't going to work this dad.
"Don't roll your eyes!" snapped his dad.
"I'll do what I want, old man!" snapped back Johnny.
His dad's facial expression got worse and he took a step towards him. Johnny noticed his mother in the back watching. She seriously wanted to see this.
Mr. Cade slapped Johnny hard. Hard enough to make Johnny do a spin and hit the ground. Johnny was on his feet in no time and took a swing at the adult. It didn't have much effect, but Mr. Cade was surprised that he took a swing at his dad. Johnny took advantage of this and took more swings at him. Mr. Cade finally blocked one and squeezed Johnny's fist. The young greaser started to scream. His mother was in the back smiling. But her son wasn't going to take this.
Johnny kicked Mr. Cade in the nuts. The adult Cade bent over crutching his family jewels. Johnny then grabbed a vase on the counter and slammed it over Mr. Cade's head. That still wasn't enough though.
"You little-"
Mrs. Cade came running towards Johnny but he gave her a punch right across the jaw. She fell right onto the ground. Johnny quickly grabbed a hammer from his dad's tool spot. He slammed the hammer hard across his father's head. Mr. Cade dropped onto the ground. The side of his head was starting to bleed. He was unconscious.
Johnny looked at the carcass, and then looked at his mother who was getting back up. Johnny then remembered he had a knife. He flicked it out and threatened,
"If you don't want to end up worse, I suggest you leave by tonight."
His mother stared at him. She could tell he was serious. Johnny escorted her to her room and made her quickly pack her clothes. He then made her carry his dad's fallen body to the car and threw it in the trunk. They drove a while and Johnny made her stop the car.
He spoke up.
"Just to be nice, I'll let you keep the car," he said with an evil smile. "But I don't wanta catch you in Tulsa!"
He got his dad's unconscious body out of the trunk and his mother drove off. Leaving Tulsa forever. Johnny dragged Mr. Cade deep into the woods and left him there. He stared at his dad's body and left.
As he walked, it probably wasn't such a good idea to let his mom take the car. Didn't matter. He knew a couple of shortcuts to make it back to his house.
His house…. He would finally sleep peacefully. The incredible feeling swept over him again. He wasn't going to change now. He loved being tough too much.
His parents were off the list now. Now all he needs to do is get back at Franklin and the socs. The socs. He wasn't done with them yet. He thought for a moment. He couldn't remember all the socs that jumped. One of them gave him some serious cuts though. They had on a bunch of rings. He would find out about him later.
