Life after Life

Michael's POV

She was beautiful to me and she probably didn't know I existed. Well I didn't remember I existed when I saw her. Her name was enough for me and her body was skinny and small. Star. An A-Lister who nobody found attractive. Well Tucker did but that was before she treated him like shit and went out with Kwan.

You're probably thinking that I'm wasting my time with a spoiled bitch who already has a boyfriend. Well I am and I'm not. You see Star and Kwan broke up two months ago and everybody's been talking about it ever since.

"I kinda knew that relationship was going downhill the moment he called her satellite by accident." Sam said chomping on her veggie burger. I nodded as I was eating some nachos. I didn't know where Danny and Tucker was. Which was what I wanted Sam to believe. You see I knew about Danny being half ghost and I knew be was Danny Phantom. I mean come on, they had the same first name, Danny left whenever a ghost attacked and Phantom came, they had the same facial structure for crying out loud! Not to mention that I've seen him changed into Phantom and recorded him. But I didn't tell them because I was their friend and when they decided to tell me, I'll let them explain. Back to reality, Sam and I was at the Nasty burger, which was a teen hotspot for hanging out. Sam was telling me all the gossip which was weird for her to do. I guess hanging out with a different person had that effect.

"So when are you going to get over her?" She asked with a smirk on her face. She thought she had me in what appear to be playful teasing. But I had a comeback. "When you and Danny screw each other like rabbits." I said, laughing at her now crimson red face. "Laugh all you want but I got all the right stuff." She said in a bad girl voice. "Being goth must be so hard trying to make the guy you like so hard right?" I teased at her some more. She growled at me and threw a fry at me, which missed me, and stuck her tongue out at me. "The only time you can make a girl wet is by throwing a water balloon at her." Well she got me there. My phone buzz and I checked to see who it was. My mom and she sent me a message telling me I had to watch my siblings.

"Looks like fun time's over.. See ya later." Sam waved goodbye and I left.

The fresh summer breeze blew across my face as the sun was going down which was alright to me. I was a winter baby but the summer was great for me. Like when the wind blew too hard on certain occasions like the time the the cheerleaders was doing a boring routine. I loved watching cheerleaders on windy days. One girl caught my attention and her name was Star. Or when school was on summer vacation and I would hang with my friends. Those were the good old days. Now was the time to get home.

The day was getting darker and I was almost home when I heard a cry and a raspy voice.

"Shut up you bitch. Do what I say and I won't hurt you a lot." I looked over to see an overweight man pulling on a girl around my age. I crouched over behind some bushes to see what was going on. I wasn't trying to stop something that was probably role-play and believe I didn't want to cockblock anyone. But I guess it wasn't role-play when the chick reached inside her purse for what I assume was mace and sprayed the guy in the eyes. Which didn't do anything but make the guy angry. Before he could do anything to her though I silently ran over to both of them without drawing attention to myself. Good thing that the guy's back was behind me or I would've been in trouble. So now for the stupid part.

"Yo ugly! What part of no don't you understand." I yelled. This got Ugly's attention and he whipped around to face me.

"You know if you can't score with the ladies your own age why do you want to scar younger girls?" I didn't know if my plan was about to work, which it probably was. In that case I probably should run. Which I did.

I was running now, making sure that creeper was following me and not that poor girl. I kept throwing stuff at him which was making him madder. I thought everything was going good until I tripped and fell on my leg.

"Ahhh! Fuck me!" I yelled and and scooted close to the nearest building.

I saw the ugly fucker walking towards me. What made him ugly? The scars and pimples on his face. Also it looked like he showered in garbage.

He chuckled, which sounded like a cat gargling water.

"I would but I'm only into women." He said.

"I think tonight may have gone wrong for both of us." He continued walking towards me. I couldn't move well and I didn't have anything to throw. I hope somebody was walking their puppy or Danny was flying around. The guy saw that I was trying to get away and that's when he stepped on my hand. Hard. "AHHHH! FUCK." I yelled as I heard my bones cracking. The pain was enough to make me pass out but I didn't. Had to stay strong and make it out alive.

"Oh, did that hurt? Cause I don't want to hurt you, not one bit." He said as he stepped on my other hand hard as he can. I had to clench my teeth to keep from screaming again. I felt cold sweat running down my face or was it hot tears sliding across my cheeks? Either way it was not looking good for me.

The guy smiled a evil toothless grin and and pulled something out from his jacket.

"You know you're very quick you're feet. Should've done track." He came close to my face and I smelled alcohol on his breath, which made me gag.

"What's...that?" I asked as he was still on my now swelling hand. I remember when I never been grateful for my hands or other body parts. This was the time I wish I had been. The guy must've sense I was in so much pain cause he got off my hand…..Only to stomp on the leg I fell on. Now I think I passed out but only for two minutes because someone had hit me in the head. Now my vision was going blurry.

"Hey wake up! If you try and be a hero then you get the consequences. Just like Danny Phantom."

"Y-yeah. B-but he...does i-it because h-he wants t-to." I said defending my friend. Danny did what he wanted to because he felt like it was his job. I wanted to help people if they were in trouble. My mom always told me if someone was ever in trouble, just call the police and don't be a be a hero.

"I think he does it so he can have a clear conscience like you. Did." He said as he hit my my head with a silver object. I felt liquid oozing it of head which was no doubt blood. The guy kicked me in the leg and I started crying now because I was in so pain. My mom, my sister and brother, my friends' faces came into view. After the guy was done kicking me, my body was in pain and it ached. I had to do something. I quietly mumbled something and saw the guy from my now faded vision come closer to me. I said something quieter to draw him closer. Apparently my plan was working and he put his ear almost practically on my lips. Which was enough for what I planned to do. I open my mouth wide open with enough strength I had and bit down on his ear. Hard. So hard that when he got up screaming in pain, I still had my teeth clamped on his ear. I heard a RIIIP and saw that his ear was off. I also realized what he had in his hand.

A gun!

'Aw shit.' I thought while my life flew past my eyes so quickly I couldn't register any fond memories.

"You son of a bitch! Motherfucker!" He yelled and then punch me hard in the face which hurtled like fuck. He then pointed the gun at me.

I couldn't believe where this was going. My heart was racing and my breathing became more rapid.

"I hope you have a nice afterlife." He then shot me.

In my chest.

I wasn't dead yet and he seem to notice this. I shakily look down at my chest to see a hole appearing and dark red liquid flowing out on my bright green shirt. I whimpered as the pain came and I tried moving but I heard another shot. And another. Another. Until I heard nothing else but silence. I had one final thought though.

I should've listened to my mom.

I hope people actually read this and review. I need suggestions though for the next chapter and not trying to spoil too much of the story but Clockwork will be in it. Also shout out to my friend Lightningflare1 for giving me motivation. Check out her stories because they are great and are better than mine. Well Taco out.
