BTW I DON'T OWN THE SONG!
Chapter 5 – A Dark PathWho's to blame for the lives the tragedies claim,
No matter what you say it won't take away the pain.
That I feel inside I'm tired of all the lies,
Don't nobody know why but it's the blind leading the blind.
I guess thats the way that the story goes,
Will it ever make sense? Somebody's got to know.
There's got to be more to life than this,
There's got to be more to everything I thought exists.
We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
Bosco stared at the wall that he lay across from. He hated this more then anything. Foster care. He was placed in there after they finally discovered that his father was beating the shit out of him, that his father had his own very personal punching bag at home. He was taken away; his father got some time and he was now stuck in a crappy run down place with a bunch other kids he rather avoid than talk to.
They all had their problems, and most the kids stuck in there were just as pissed off at the world and the kind of hand they were dealt. What had to be the worse thing of all, curfew. They were funny about that; about him going out with Reggie, they gave him orders and what to do around the house. He wasn't use to this! He could do whatever the hell he wanted to do at his own home, leave when he wanted to. Now all these rules where placed on him and this was not something he liked.
So this is when he started to runaway. He ran away for a few days but soon enough cops would pick him up and haul him right back to his trap, the last place he didn't want to be.
He get the usual lecture about this is not how a young man should be acting, he should start concentrating on school, but that went through one ear and out the other. Soon as he could he was climbing out his window and taking off into the nights. Their next maneuver was to change his room, to the top floor, in hopes that would stop him, they'd even gone to the length of locking the door. Did that stop Bosco? Of course not, he was out that window and climbing down it without any problem.
That's why he was outside his window right now, climbing out and hoping he wouldn't fall and break his neck. Reggie stood at the bottom waiting for him and looking around to make sure nobody was paying any them attention. With a sudden whoosh of air and the sound of feet hitting the pavement the boys were running away.
"Here try this." Reggie handed Bosco something who immediately had put out his hand to take it. It was rolled up like a cigarette but just the smell of it alone could tell you it was not that at all, far from it.
"What is it?"
"Mary Jane man…." Bosco's went wide, not because of fear but of respect. Anybody at their age who could get their hands on some package of weed, was seen to be the cooler group.
Reggie took it from Bosco and lit it up for him , Reggie took a puff inhaled deeply then let some out and then handed it back. Bosco did the same but it only caused him to practically hack his lungs out .
"Don't worry, all guys do that the first time."
Bosco was still coughing, his face turning beat red.
Reggie sat down on a tire and looked out into the river, pass the Statue of the Liberty and to the ocean where the black sky meet with the dark waters.
"You think I'll ever get out of here?"
Bosco looked at Reggie, his coughing finally subsiding he just kept the drug in his hand not wanting to really smoke it right now.
"Why would you want to leave, this is New York?"
Reggie shrugged his shoulders.
"To finally leave, new life maybe….I don't know."
Turning and looking to where Reggie had been staring off, he finally looked down at his feet.
"Just because you leave, doesn't mean you forget….your going to be you no matter how far you get away from this city."
"God," Reggie inhaled some more of his pot, "life is such a bitch."
Bosco then tried again and then laughed, "then you marry one."
"Ain't that the truth."
The boys had begun to laugh amongst one another, laughing so hard they didn't even hear a car pull up or the feet shoveling, they didn't' know until a hand rested on Bosco's shoulder making them drop what they had in their hands and turn around.
Bosco looked up into the eyes of Officer John Sullivan.
"Your in big trouble."
"Awww shit." Was the only comment Bosco could utter, or even think to say.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bosco sat in the backseat of the squad car, as the officer they called Candyman escorted Reggie back up to his apartment Sully sat in the passenger side.
"You know I could arrest you for illegal use of drugs?"
Sully finally pipped in.
Bosco just looked away, as Sully looked at him in the rear view mirror, watching the emotions running across his features but then as wall came up and hide anymore tales of what he was feeling.
"Don't walk that path, it only leads you down the road of picking stupid choices in your life."
"Yes and you would know, Mr. Perfect." Bosco said sarcastically still looking out the window."
Shaking his head Sully wish he could get through to the boy, but maybe he couldn't, maybe it was all ready to late for him and no matter how much you tried to fix what was beat into him, could not be undone.
"You keep talking like that, and I'll make sure you spend a night or two in Juvie."
"Like I really care."
Sully then just looked out the window, and as Candyman got back into the car and started up, all Sully saw was the kid they tried to save from the monster of a father.
(Flashback)
Sullivan had felt sick to his stomach when he seen that little boy, Boscorelli in the bed beaten up as though he had been mistaken for a punching bag. What killed him even more, he could have stopped it to begin with. Sure he couldn't of stopped the earlier beatings, but he could of stopped this one that landed him in the hospital. So now him and his partner where going to go and pick the asshole up and put him away.
"I do hope he resists arrest." Candy uttered under his breath as he came to a complete stop in front of the apartment complex.
"We can only pray for that." Sully said as he got out of the car and put on his hat. Both officers then made their way up the stairs and both taking deep breaths before knocking on the door they got ready. Soon enough the door swung open and the alcohol that came off the man could of made Sully and Candy drunk just by breathing on them.
"What the hell do you want!" The man bellowed.
"Sir your under arrest for child abuse," and before Sully could even finish, Marcus was trying to slam the door shut but Candy placed his foot into the door and being much stronger shoved it open making it fly against the wall with a loud bang.
"So this the house you beat your son in, huh? Nice place for a child." Sully was looking around, parts of the house was in complete and utter shambles. Paint was falling off here and there, trash practically stuffed to the ceiling in some spots. The tv as loud the old junkie thing could go and beer bottles everywhere. Some spots, Sully could have sworn, there was dark deep patches of spots in the rugs and with just another glance at it, anybody could tell it was dried blood.
"Get the hell out of my place! You have no right to be here!"
"No that's where you're wrong!" Sully had spun around and making Marcus back up "When a parent beats the living shit out of their child to the point they're put in the hospital, that's where we come in because we have to try and protect something so innocent that you some how were able to manage to bring into this world!
"I can do whatever I god damn please with that boy and you don't know him he's a piece of shit you do the same thing!"
That was the wrong thing to say to the two officers there to arrest a man they felt was a complete monster, and with that Sully and Candy looked at one another and before Marcus could react he got a solid punch from Sully in the gut that caused him to come down which then Candy brought out his nightstick and hit him hard in the head with it. Blood began to gush from the head wound but they didn't care, because they could always say, he was resisting arrest.
Marcus called out to anybody to help him, but anybody who was in hearing distance turned the other cheek because they knew what kind of man he was, they had heard the fights, they had heard the screaming, the crying, but they weren't brave enough to say a thing. To those who wanted to stand up, but couldn't this was their way of saying, serves you right you son of a bitch.
The beatings didn't stop until Marcus finally slipped into subconscious and there wasn't one part of his face or anywhere else for that matter, that wasn't bruised or bleeding. Before going downstairs to go clean their hands with the first aid, they handcuffed him just in case he woke up by some malicious recovery after getting the shit kicked out of him. When their hands where cleaned up and most of the blood taken off they waited let the time go by and then finally called an ambulance. They would sit out there, and wait until they arrived because they felt if they got near him again, they take their guns out and shoot him, and that would be sweet justice right there.
(end flashback)
They had decided not to send Bosco to juvie, but they did give the warning they found him doing it again he be sitting there with people his age in a jail cell. Bosco sarcastically commented that his ways were changed and he was a changed man but as Bosco went into the building and with the manager who ran the foster care began scolding him, all Sully saw was another druggie to join the streets and another problem to have to try and fix.
(Few Years Later)
"Come ON DOUGH BOY YOU WANT TO CATCH UP WITH ME YOU HAVE TO LOOSE SOME POUNDS, COME ON." Bosco yelled over his shoulder. He turned his head to see John Sullivan, chasing him. He just boosted a car and got caught and now he was running from the cop. Life couldn't get any better. Bosco jumped the fence and turned around.
"Let me guess, can't climb, out of breath, stop eating those donuts and maybe you'll catch up one of these day granny." Turning around he began to jog and then run into his full pace just in case the other cop was lurking, and what he didn't notice was Sully calling into his radio and that's how when he wiped around the corner he got clothes hanged.
Bosco had felt his body fly and for one split second he saw his feet pointing towards the sky and then he came down hard onto his back and as he closed his eyes and reopened them he looked up into the eyes of Tyrone Sr.
"Aww man where the hell did you come from?"
"You got a learn Bosco, you fight the law and the law will win."
Sully was now walking up to the two who were standing there as Bosco was being handcuffed. Bosco then snickered.
"I think you just broke a new world record of being the slowest cop ever."
"Watch that tongue of yours Bosco's."
"So you're the infamous Bosco, Office Tyrone Davis Sr, I'll be the officer arresting you today."
"Nice to meet you, and I'll be the uncooperative resisting arrest guy, how am I doing?" Bosco said.
"Very good, your working some jail time. You keep this up and you might be there for a few years."
"Love it we should do this more often."
Nothing else was said as Bosco was placed into the RMP and Tyrone Sr. Davis turned to Sully.
"If my son Davis turns out like him, I'm going to shoot him and bury him out back."
Sully laughed.
"Believe me I'd help you, don't need another Bosco running around New York."
