what happened to your child hood friend?
You know I never really thought how people would end up when I was a child playing games with my friends.. I never really saw things how they really where when I was little.. Today I got a real shock when all of sudden I saw my old school friend benny trexel sitting outside a house.. I stopped in to say hi and realized he had changed a lot.. He wasn’t the boy I had played action figures with, he wasn’t my friend the way I remembered him.. He had grown up into Ben Trexel the neighborhood drug dealer... He was out of school and doing what????
Nothing....
later he asked me if I would drive him to his house to pick up his car so he could do his “side job”... I did it and I thought; sure why not I hadn’t seen his family in years, and they helped me through a lot of hard times when I was little, honestly I missed them..
That family seemed so put together when I was little and ignorant....
When we arrived to his home I walked into a shit hole.. It was the filthiest home I think I’ve ever been in..
Really the only thing I could think about is what happened?? What happened to this family? Had this been how they always where? Had I been so blind to never realize this when I was little... Or had people really just changed over the years...
Benny led me into his father’s room and I saw Ben senior for the first time again since I was little.... He looked dead.. Surrounded by pill bottles and pot... Benny asked for “his money” and his dad took out his wallet to pay his drug dealer... His own son... This came to a shock to me.. Ben senior who I had once thought was the smartest man alive was now dead before me buying drugs from his baby boy..... what had happened to his life. Where had he gone.
His corpse looked over at me to offer me a hit... I politely said no thank you... And just thought wow this was the family that “loved each other” this was the family I had once wished for... this was how I wanted my mother to be... this wasn’t real.
I had had enough so I left Benny there with his dad and there stench of death... I pulled out of the driveway wishing that I never saw him so I didn’t have to worry.. So I didn’t have to think my friend wasn’t going to be anything.. He wasn’t ever going to be a G.I. JOE or superman.. He wasn’t going to save the world with X-men like power’s or fight crime over seas.. Instead he was going to be the bad guy.. The one to pollute the people.. The guy who will try and pollute my kids... The guy HIM AND I USE TO FIGHT WHEN WE WHERE LITTLE! He became the villain in our games.....
And for that I hate what life has done to him....
I hate that he’s killing his own father for money...
With this where will I be in 5 to 10 years...
Or most important where will my siblings be in years to come???
Will they too be my mother’s drug dealer??
Who will they kill?
