A Preview That's Six Years In The Making

Let me give you a little background. I started this when I was in 11th grade. I didn't get too far with it, so I tried again. It went a little better, but it still wasn't meeting my expectations and it never got finished again. I tried once again and got past the halfway point. Still, it wasn't what I wanted. Finally, I got smart and decided to TYPE the story on Microsoft Word. Yes, for 5 years, I've hand-written this story. Right now, things are going good for it. I finally have it where I want it and I work on it every now and then. What this story's about, is a junior in high school that's coming of age. I plan on making this into a trilogy. Right now, the title is The Gang Wars Saga". The piece below hasn't been included yet. In fact, I'm putting it in here, so I have it when I need it. So, you're getting a preview before anyone else. Let me know what you think.

"This is it, Jacob. The day you've been waiting for," said Axel. "Yeah, people are finally gonna get what they have coming to them," I replied. Jessie's hand grabbed mine and pulled me in for a kiss. "Soon, I'll never have to worry about her lips touching mine again," I thought to myself. "Both of us will have vengeance. Then, we can move on to bigger and better things. Like planning your wedding," said Axel. "Yeah, things will be the way they should be," I replied. "Did you get enough sleep last night, sweetie? You look exhausted," said Jessie. "Yeah, I'm alright, baby. Everything's gonna be fine," I assured her. That was a blatant lie. I didn't get that much sleep. Only about two hours worth. My nerves wouldn't allow me the luxury of rest. Ken and I went over the plan again and again. I could recite it in my sleep. As good as it was, there were still holes in it. "You're not still thinking of....HER....are you?" Jessie asked. "No, babe. She's of no importance to me," I replied. This was a half truth. Abigail wasn't on my mind as much as Marsha, but I still had a crush on her. If everything went as planned, Marsha and I would have all the time in the world. I couldn't think of a better reward than that. "Alright, lets get the brothers and get this over with," said Axel. "Agreed," I said. Axel gathered the others and we piled into his car. Jessie sat on my lap to my displeasure. She kept kissing my neck the entire way there. Axel parked the car behind an abandoned building. One of the guys cautiously checked the area. He signaled that no one was around. "They probably won't even show up. Filthy cowards," he spat bitterly. "They better show up," I said menacingly. "Or I'm as good as dead," I thought to myself. "Alright, here's where I want everybody. I want two people behind that wall. The rest on the other side. Jessie, I need you to get on that roof. When you see them coming, shine your knife in the sun," Axel ordered. "Come with me, sweetie. You know I hate heights," crooned Jessie. "Alright, babe. I'll come with you," I told her. Man, this was gonna be easier than I thought. "No, I need Jacob with me. I want Ken to see us. He's ruined both of our lives. Today, we're gonna get our revenge," said Axel. "Actually, I'd rather go with Jessie, Axel," I told him. "Jacob, she'll be fine. Come on, you deserve justice. How's this sound? I'll let you kill Ken after we're finished. Besides, I'd rather kill that traitor, Brian anyways," said Axel. "I appreciate that, but I think Jessie'll feel better if I'm up there with her. I'd rather go with her. Nothing personal," I objected. Axel looked hard at me. My entire body was shaking. "You're willing to give up a kill to be a lookout?" he asked. "Jessie's safety is more important than a kill," I responded. Axel nodded in agreement. "Alright, go up there with her. But...this isn't playtime. No fooling around up there. After we kill them all, we can go back and celebrate. Until then, stay alert. Are we clear?" he said. I nodded. Jessie grabbed my hand, kissed me again, and led me away. "I know where there are some stairs, babe. Walk around towards the back of the building," I instructed her. She led us to the back of the building. We climbed up the stairs slowly. Before we reached the top, I wrapped my arms around her. "Sweetie, you heard Axel. We can't play just yet," she said softly. "I'm not playing," I whispered coldly in her ear. Then, I threw her to Ken. The others were waiting up there for us. "Thank God, you're here," I said to them in relief. Ken was holding Jessie's mouth shut, but he grinned. "A little nervous were you?" he said. Zack grabbed Jessie's feet and they held Jessie over the side of the building. She screamed and the Blood Brotherhood heard it. "Here comes the fun part," said Ken. Greg, Brian, and Dave went off to fight off Axel and his clan. Zack and Ken brought Jessie back up. "We know you tried to frame us. Confess and we'll let you go," said Ken. "I refuse to tell you anything!" She spat. They held her dangling off the side of the building again. She screamed again and pleaded with them to let her up. Finally, they did. The others kept knocking Axel and the others down, but they kept on coming back for more. "So, you did try to frame us," said Ken. "Maybe...maybe not," said Jessie bitterly. Ken looked at Zack. "Ok, plan B," he said. They picked up Jessie and headed down the other side. Axel had fought his was to the top. I ran towards him and kicked him as hard as I could. He fell down the stairs, knocking down the others as well. "Good move," complimented Greg. "Thanks," I replied. We ran off after Ken. The van was waiting for us when we came down. We climbed in and Ken sped off.
