I already made plans for the day, based on the activities at hand which looks quite occupying, I have decided to skip writing today, will give me opportunity to rest my brain, as well as go and see a friend in the prison.
I have prepared a present for the three of them, since I happened to be the last to be assigned into that room, and also happens to be the first to leave too, I believe I was just lucky, and that lucky is what I am about to go repay, the News would have been an inmate committed suicide, but luckily, here I am today, and on top of it, no longer an inmate.
“ What's up Man, I really missed you bro.”
He said, holding the microphone to his ear, a smile on his face and back relaxing on the chair he sat down, feeling really comfortable for an inmate. I'm really happy to see him still in one piece, he's the calmest person in that room, as well as the most dangerous when it comes to violence, even with Drew's size, Drew still avoids him when argument arose between them or anybody else.
“ Yeah, me too.... All thanks to you, I'm here and still alive, never knew how fun the world was until you taught me how to live in it.....”
I complimented him with my speech, cracking up a smile from him, he does agree that I was saying the truth. “ You see, sometimes I prefer being in here than being out there, life here is more direct, hunt those who hunt you and be friend with those who worth it, but it's fake out there, it's all fake..... You're probably living the dream for now bro, I am not wishing you confusion in the near future, rather I am giving you some tips to watch out for, confusion would come, it then depends on how you'll handle it, but I believe you know the right thing to do.....”
I'm really happy that I'm here, that I'm seeing his face, that I am speaking with him again, I don't know what he saw that might happen, but as the more experienced one between us, I am just going to stay on my toes and keep watch around myself.
“ I went hiking some weeks ago, I met a boy, a little boy whom I can say he possibly have a good potential like yours when it comes to maturity, the boy seems to know a lot, from the way he speaks and acts, I mostly see you in him, but it was only that day I saw him, haven't Cross path with him again.....”
I just told him, he doesn't need to ask me questions about how fun like has been out there, just sharing all I feel like I have to. He was just nodding about what I just explained to him, we spent few more minutes together before I decided to head off.
Driving home, something flashed my eyes, or someone actually, I had to reverse my vehicle and turn to the direction of what just caught my attention, I slowed down the speed of my vehicle so that I can be sure of what I'm really looking at, is that Marie?, I was driving too slow, looking out through my car window until I heard a gentle knock that made me stop the vehicle immediately, popping my head out of the window to see what I almost knocked down this time, it was a waste bin.
Oh God.... I began calming myself down, trying to relax my mind, memory driving me back to what actually took me to prison, I wouldn't stay awake and watch that repeat itself again.
“ Jerome!.... Is that you?....”
I head a voice calling me through my opened window, shit, I forgot to close them back up after checking to see what I almost hit down. I shouldn't possibly hide myself should I?. I stepped out of my vehicle standing before the lady who just called me by my name, who was once my wife, Jessica.
I wasn't expecting to see her or even cross paths with her, but with the fact that I've been driving around the City lately, I wouldn't be so sure to keep avoiding them, would I?. “ Jerome..... I.... I can't believe it's really you, what are you doing here?.....” she asked. I don't know what the fuck she's thinking or where she's trying to go with all this soft and happy greeting, I don't have any Fucking business with her, curiosity Fucking brought me here.
“ Just thought I saw Marie, decided to check out and it happens to me her, guess I'll be on my way then....”
I went back into the car, leaving her dumbfounded. I know she wanted to say something, she Fucking wanted to speak more with me, but fuck her, Fuck her life, fuck anything about her. Her presence left me flaring with anger, driving away from her presence is the best thing to do for myself right now.
When you're hunted by your demon, don't run from it, because it will always be there waiting for your return, always remember, the stronger you get, the stronger it becomes too, that was Karl's words back in prison to me, there are things you can't outrun, just embrace the fact, then find peace within.
I've been living life by his advice and inspiration, every moment of thought in my life has something to do with him, always asking myself, this that I am about to do, will Karl do it?, It's quite unfortunate someone like him landed himself in prison, all because he lost it in the ring, mistakenly killing someone in the boxing ring when everyone was trying to stop him.
By his words, he said that he doesn't regret doing it, the penalty for his action is worth it, as well as the action that caused the penalty, saying that the victim ruined his family and went scott free for it.
