Load Up and Move Out

There’s much rejoicing taking place now all throughout the city. Jahmez must have had more of an impact than I originally thought. Of course, now I feel horrible. A part of me wishes that I didn’t talk to Jimmy in the first place. Then again, I did bump into him. Probably meant to be, I suppose. I watch as the crowd dissipates. The argument is done. The fight is over. Therefore, the interest is gone. Jahmez seems like nothing has phased him. He carries on with that grin on his face. Well, a grin from one side, and a downward slope from the other. Why is it that I feel so horrible?

I only spoke what was on my mind. I shouldn’t have to keep my thoughts to myself, right? I think no one else said anything sooner because they were all scared. Everywhere Jahmez went; people avoided him simply on looks alone. Other people actually said hello to him, only to go the other direction after he opened his mouth. I wasn’t scared. Of course, I didn’t think much of it either. One thing I do know is that something doesn’t feel right. Now that I think about it, I wonder what it would have been like had Luther come back around the corner in mid argument. Whose side would he have taken? Would he have sought revenge on me and struck when the time was right? Or would he have waited to put in the killing blow after I started the initial attack?

I want to go find Luther. I have to know. I want to know what Jahmez did to Luther to make him flee. I start to make my way off when Jimmy stops me. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Uhh, sure.” I say.

“Why is it that out of all these fellers here, you had to pick a fight with one that can’t help being stupid?” Jimmy asks.

“I just wanted to get my point across, I guess.” I say. I now regret ever talking to Jahmez.

“You guess? Boy, before you do anything, you can’t go ‘round guessing all the time expectin’ everything to be alright. You need to think. You need to keep yer mouth shut if you can’t say anything nice.”

At this point Jahmez has wandered off. There’s no telling where he is going or who he plans on… never mind. Jimmy continues, “If something sounds funny to you while yer thinkin’ it, I can guarantee you that it aint gonna be funny when it comes out of yer mouth. I bet you could offend just ‘bout anyone you come in contact with, if you keep doing shenanigans like that. The way I see it, you owe that poor feller an apology.”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I’m sorry.” I say.

“I appreciate it, but I aint the one you need to apologize to. Go on now. He went somewhere that way.” Jimmy points to the hallway that leads around the corner. It’s the same hallway that goes to where I met Stephen.
