"I need a cigarette."
"... a what?"
Rick, sitting on the chair gave her a cockeyed look. "A cigarette, you know those little white sticks with a bit of nicotine in them?"
Sophia just rolled her eyes. "I obviously know what a cigarette is you jackass... I thought you quit." She asked curiously.
He shrugged, "I did, it's been what? 4 years since my last stick? God Sophie what are you, my mom?"
She just continued to fiddle with her phone. "Of course I'm not, I AM your closest friend and frankly I could care less if you want to choke on those fucking cancer sticks, fuck if I care."
"Then you wouldn't mind if I just went off to get some from a nearby 7/11?"
"Like I said, I. Could. Care. Less. " She said offhandedly.
"Huh, then I'll be back in a few minutes ok?"
"Hn"
"You seem to care so much about my livelihood don't you?"
"Hn"
"You wouldn't even care if I got run over by a truck would you?"
"Hn"
Riveting conversationalist no? He sighed in exasperation and stood up to leave.

"Oy" She said, one eye looking at him through her peripheral vision. Nailed it this time.
He moved up and dusted off the dirt collected on his coat.
"What?"
"Can you get me a beer?"
"What am I, your delivery boy?"
"Yes actually and if you don't get it, or come back after the fireworks starts I swear to all the fucking gods up there and down below that I will beat the living hell out of you, cut off your balls and make you eat them." All the while speaking as if talking about the weather.
She scares me like that.
"Awww I knew you cared!"
"Shut the fuck up and go, you got 20 minutes, make the most of it."
"Fine, fine I'm off."
"Don't forget my beer!"
"Yeah, yeah"

"8 minutes, that took shorter than expected"
Obviously it was since the 7/11 store was just 2 blocks away from my house.
At least something was good was with it's location.
Briskly walking to the store and entering it, I was suddenly blasted by the cold chill of the air conditioning (not that the outside wasn't) and the smell of hotdogs and ..... socks? the fuck? smelled like shit here.
"Doesn't matter, sooner I'm done here the sooner I can get back to Ms.Bitch"
Steeling myself (covering my nose and walking with added speed) I walked straight to the coolers in the back and got 2 bottles of beer, premium beer. I realized that anything less would result in "Ms.Bitch" from throwing said "piss-water" at my face.
I didn't need another concussion.
Walking to the counter and grabbing a pack of cigarettes (not the local ones mind you, shit tastes like cardboard) I hurriedly took out my wallet and asked. "How much?"
"That would be 4 dollars and 50 cents" the cheery sales associate replied
"The fuck? How come the cigs cost so much? Last time I checked they were a LOT cheaper that that."
"Sir they have been increasing the price to discourage people from smoking."
Fucking government.
"You know what fine? Here take the 5 dollars, keep the change miss." shrugging my arms in defeat.
"Thank you very much sir, would you like a bag with that?" that cheery smile never leaving her face. Damn that was annoying.
"Yes, yes I would, could you please hurry up?"
Although I know that was rude, I was running out of time and the last thing I want is to be on the receiving end of a very angry female.
ESPECIALLY Sophie
She placed the beer in the plastic and I put the cigs in my coat pocket.
I left as soon as I came.
I left so quickly I didn't notice the other man in the store.
Later, I would soon come to realize what kind of mistake that was.

"Shit that took longer than expected, it's almost 12 o' clock"
I was walking along the dark alley, although it wasn't really dark since those damn fireworks were starting, and that only put one fucking thing in my head.
She was going to kill me.
So I ran as fast as I could through an alley which was a faster way to the house.
I would have continued running if it weren't for the fact that something or someone grabbed me from the back and slammed me against the wall, thereby dropping the beer in the plastic bag.
But that was the least of my problems.
"Give me all your money." the man, or I think it was man because of how raspy his voice sounded.
I obeyed without delay, not only because he slammed me on the wall, but because of the sharp, pointy object that I felt on my back.
I then attempted to get my wallet out.
Keyword attempted
"NO FUNNY BUSINESS YOU FUCKING PRICK!" He spat at me. "Get anything close to a weapon out, I swear I WILL kill you"
"Ok, ok no need to get all jumpy on me, I'm just getting m-my wallet." Fuck I stuttered.
"Good, good now HURRY UP!"
I then slowly, and steadily got my wallet out of my coat pocket, which was taken away as soon as I fished it out.
"Do you have anything else?"
"No, no I don't" I was fucking terrified. I wanted to scream but I knew he'd kill me if I did.
"Heh, that's all? Good." As soon as he finished his sentence the fireworks started.
It was 12:00
"Heh Happy New Year you stupid shit!" was the last thing he said before running of.
I honestly thought I was safe already.
Until I saw crimson.
Fucking blood all over my shirt.
"Ghk Fuck...." was the only thing that sputtered from my mouth until I proceeded to cough blood, not just small amounts mind you, large fucking globs of blood.
That bastard stabbed me and no one was around to help me.
All the New Year and fucking celebration.
Fuck my life.
I then walked(limped) out of the alley after grabbing the bag with the beer(or what's left of it) from the floor.
My stomach felt wet, my heart was beating like crazy and the only thing covering my wound is my left, fucking hand.
I stumbled on the street until I was in front of my house.
I kept walking through the gate, through the garden, until I reached the front door
DING-DONG
The sound of the door bell made me dizzy for some reason as I collapsed on the door.
"You better have a FUCKING good reason why your late asshole!" I heard Sophie screaming.
I was losing too much blood too fast.
I took out a cigarette and looked for a lighter. Only to realize that of all the things, I forgot to fucking get a lighter.
So much for looking bad ass while you go.
"Well Sophie...."I croaked. "I have a pretty good reason why I was late, you wouldn't fucking believe it..."
I didn't hear her reply, nor did I hear anything anymore because it was getting surprisingly dark.
Last thing I saw was my cigarette, my lit cigarette and the goddamn fireworks in the sky.
Huh.
I guess it is the last embers of the year, of my life.... "
And everything went black.
