"Man guess what I just did!" Nic told me.
"talked to Mia?" I asked.
"I wish but I found that nerdy dude...his name was..." Nic trailed off.
"Toby?" I guessed.
"Yeah Toby. He and his loser friends so I was being all tough and I was like tell JT we're gonna stomp his ass." Nic said excited.
"You said what?!" I asked alarmed.
"Don't worry. I also declared war on Degrassi and everyone I've told so far is all for it!" Nic said smiling.
"Well I'm not!" I said.
"What?" Nic said upset that I didn't agree with him.
"Jt is a pretty good guy. War on Degrassi? What if Mia gets hurt?" I asked but I cared about Emma more.
"I'm over that bitch!" Nic lied.
"If you're so over her why are you attacking JT?" I asked.
"Maybe not completely over her but JT hit me!" Nic whined.
"Have you heard from Frank?" I asked.
"Yeah I saw him today...he is messed up. I didn't know we did that much of a number on him..." Nic trailed off.
"What'd the black stuff do to him?" I asked.
"His scars puff up a little bit and he has burns." Nic said.
"Still mad at him?" I asked.
"Hell yes! You should be too! He called us pathetic stocking losers! Excuse me for not jumping on the forgive him boat!" Nic said angered by my question.
"Relax! I'm starting to think we went a little overboard..." I said.
"Excuse me?" Nic asked.
"Maybe we shouldn't of beat him down. He was telling the truth after all..." I said.
"What?!!!!" Nic asked.
"We do kind of end up everywhere they are. It could be sub conscious but you have to wonder..." I trailed off.
"You're just like Frank!" Nic yelled at me.
"No it's just that-" I was cut off.
"You shouldn't talk John! You're nowhere near over Emma! All you two ever had was a stupid summer fling! Mia and I dated for a couple years so I have a right to not be over her yet You... you should be way over Emma but you're not! You are the pathetic loser!" Nic yelled and pushed his way past me. I was standing on the steps to Lakehurst and Nic slammed the door after him. That was the last time Nic really spoke to me.
"Hey man!" I called to Frank who was leaning on a wall behind the dot.
Frank looked up then looked away.
"Look I'm sorry for what happened..." I started. "It was uncalled for."
"You're damn right it was!" Frank said glaring at me.
"You were telling the truth. We need to get over those girls." I said.
"Yeah." was all Frank said.
"Are we good?" I asked.
Frank looked a me for a while. "Yeah."
I smiled. "Cool. Did you hear what Nic did?"
"Yeah, he's being an idiot. I'm guessing you and Nic aren't friends anymore." Frank said.
"No," I said. "I told him you were right."
"Well thanks to him jumping Toby and being an idiot Damian and Nora are trying to talk to Degrassi about being peaceful." Frank said.
"He jumped Toby?" I asked.
"Yeah he has a whole Degrassi hating crew now." Frank said.
"I'm sure nothing bad will happen." I said.
"Yeah," Frank said. "I heard that there was a party tonight."
"Where?" I asked not interested.
"Emma's house!" Frank taunted.
"Dude I am so there!" I said quickly.
"Perfect." Frank said under his breath with a smile.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing!" Frank said quickly.
"Let's go driving before hand I got my car all fixed up!" I said. Frank followed me to my car and we went all around town until it was time for the party.
"Dude let's walk." Frank said.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Yeah we'll just run there." Frank said.
"I'll race you." I said. Then we both took off running to Emma's house.
Everyone stared at us when we entered. I saw Damien with Manny. Manny let us stay and Frank left to get us some drinks. His beer wasn't opened but mine was and it was bubbling a little. I should have known better than to drink it. Frank smiled after I started to drink. Then I saw Frank grab another beer then shake it up.
"What are you doing?" I asked my words slurring together.
"Hey. Peace offering." Frank said throwing some kid the beer.
"You know what that means? Buh bye!" Jay said.
"Hey relax slim shady. It's a party!" Frank continued.
"And now it's time to go." Spinner said then Jay and Spinner through us out.
Frank hit me. "What?" I asked.
"You know who's car that is?" Frank asked.
"No." I said trying to stay awake. He went over to the car and unzipped his pants.
"Couldn't find a toilet?" a voice asked.
"He did!" I answered.
"Oh I get it. My car sucks. Ha ha you guys slay me with your humor." the voice said trying to unlock his door.
"Yeah mascot boy? Laugh at this!" I said pulling my pocket knife from my pocket and stabbing him in the back.
"Johnny?" the voice barely whispered. Then it all clicked. I just stabbed Jt Yorke.
"JT?" I asked. He just leaned against his car and started sliding down.
"Man what the hell did you do?" Frank asked obviously surprised. Then I heard footsteps Liberty was coming! Without a word to each other we stared running I hurled the knife away from me and seconds later I could hear Liberty screaming.
"Split UP!" Frank yelled. I took a hard left towards the woods but I fell unconscious.
I confessed to murdering Jt and I was staring at a pale blue wall in a cell by myself at the end of the night. I turned away from the wall and looked through the bars recognizing the man across the way from me.
"Dad?" I asked.
"Hey Johnny?" was all he said.
"Why did you leave?" I asked.
"Well I didn't exact pick jail to be my vacation spot." he said.
"That didn't answer my question." I said irritated.
"I didn't chose to. That's all I have to say to you tonight." he said rolling over in his bunk. I tried to get myself comfortable which was nearly impossible but I cried myself to sleep.
The next morning a cop that looked kind of familar was asking me questions through the bars.
"My name is Scott, but everybody calls me Tracker."Tracker started. "I used to be well troubled."
"Did you guys get Frank?" I asked.
"No, we didn't." Tracker said. "I'm not a cop though. I talk to troubled youth."
"Whatever." I said.
"Visitor!" the guard door screamed. "Dimarco, J!"
"Isn't that you?" Tracker asked me.
"Yeah it is..." I asked surprised knowing Frank wasn't stupid enough to come and that Nic wanted nothing to do with me. Who would come visit me?
Who do you think came to visit him? I think it's obvious but I thought the last one was obvious too.
