The Fight

A fight took place between two best friends that no one could explain."How did this happen?"Keisha asked the woman standing next to her for one of the men was her brother."Carter has always been a troublesome kid coming up in our community with stealing , drugs and violence that always pursued him where ever he went," Keisha told another bystander and added ''while Bobby was a ladies' man and always ran away from trouble''.

As the crowd continued to grow and the fight became more intense, Bobby suddenly kicked Carter in the groin.Carter slumped over and moaned."You bastard "Bobby said as he punched him in the face. 
Down he went when Keisha shouted" Stop it, Stop it right now". The crowd watched intensely as if watching entertainment wrestling and waiting for the next strike to land,tempers flared and gestures made to strike Carter again for he had robbed and killed so many people in the neighborhood that they were ready to see him dead.

One man from the crowd yelled," he's got a knife" ,Carter plunged the knife into Bobby's back as Keisha screamed "someone please stop this and call the police", but no one did. Seeing Carter landed his last and final blow by stabbing his best friend in the throat. Bobby fell to his knees holding his hand up to his throat trying to stop the blood from gushing out of his neck as he took his last breathe.


Carter was arrested , prosecuted and jailed.He sat thinking about how regretful he is for killing his best friend.He narrrated the ugly incident to an inmate "It was the neighborhood tramp that I slept with that had given me HIV. I tried to inform Bobby, but he loved this woman not realizing that I too had been with her. When I approached Bobby about her given me HIV he insisted that I was lying , that I wanted him to become like me living the life of drugs and violence. Outrage, he swung and hit me in the chest as Darla his fiance laughed and edge him on''.

He continued ''enraged with anger and fury in Bobby's house. I broke away from him and grabbed Darla by her neck with both hands trying to snuff  life out of her as she mumbled 'you are hurting me'. I became furious at the fact that she laughed, knowing I'm dying from the deadly virus she gave me and infected others. 
I said to Bobby 'You're my brother that I've known for twenty years. I would never lied to you. She's a tramp, when suddenly Darla yelled out ' He's lying beat the shit out of him'.



Bobby eyes weld up with tears as he rushed me. We both fell out of the front window and  landed outside on the ground as the battle became bloody between friends, people gathered hearing Darla still chanting 'liar!'.That was how I got the death penalty all because of a woman," Carter stated.
