It had been 2 days since that night at the skatepark cupid did his schedule as normal wake up go to school go to practice then go and do some random stuff around New York like go to the skatepark with his friends, yet he didn't feel satisfied. By this time, it was Thursday night, and he was just riding around the city listening to his music on his headphones. When he saw her, he saw Clara again coming out of a place that looked like a club crying and yelling at a man in front of her he couldn't tell who it was because of what he was wearing but it looked like her boyfriend from before. It seemed like they were fighting at each other, so cupid decided to take off his headphones and ride his bike to the nearest park just around the corner trying to listen in to what they were saying."Fuck I told you I didn't want to come here Mikey why the fuck did we decided to party here your friends are fucking weird they tried to touch me when I didn't want to be touched. "Said Clara with hatred in her voice almost sounding like."Hey baby I told you they were just playing around they didn't mean to do that to you I swear don't take offense to it they were just acting annoying I'll tell them not to do it again don't worry "Said Mikey trying to comfort her. "No, I'm not going to take any more of this I refuse to not again I told you that would be the last time they do that, and this would be the last time I come to this stupid club just because you're trying to get on the good side of your friends dad for that stupid job. "Said Clara with very much passion and anger in her voice at this point even people around them in front of the club could hear them talking. As cupid decided to come closer and moved his bike across the street just watching the transaction. "Hey, it'll be fine and besides we both know were young its hard to get a job and if I get this job, we won't have to be in school for that long just calm down and think about it long term baby "Said Mikey trying to calm her down.
"I still refuse to go to this club again you can go on your own "Said Clara stubbornly. From this reaction cupid could tell Mikey was getting frustrated with the way Clara was acting and it was only getting more evident on his face as it slowly turned more aggressive. "Hey, I'm trying my best clearly you aren't appreciating it or me in fact it seems like you don't even care! "Said Mikey angrily by this time he was already in her face with people around them trying to break it up, but Mikey didn't care he started to fight. Cupid rushed in with his bicycle if he could show Clara, he still cared maybe she would care about him just maybe. So, cupid rushed in crossing the street not caring about traffic on his bicycle eventually reaching in front of Mikey although not sure what to say. "What the fuck are you doing here I told you not to be around us anymore you fucking creep "Said Mikey threatingly before cupid could say or do anything Mikey punched him straight off his bicycle with multiple punches all at once cupid stumbling back onto the ground. While Mikey got on top of him and started to punch him repeatedly each punch feeling like massive pain all over his body and his face reminding him of worse times before back at his hometown refusing to just sight there and block, he decided to try and fight back. Grabbing a piece of his bike that fell off he hit Mikey with it on the side of his head causing him to start bleeding. "You motherfucker I'll kill you "Said Mikey as he got off cupid and fell back and cupid took this chance to grab his bike and run!
Run faster than he ever ran before trying to hurry up and start pedaling pedal faster than he ever did before. Pedaling at speed he didn't think he could do just thinking about what happened. Did he make the right choice should he have tried to do that would Clara even care at all would she? Would she honestly see him any different or see him how he saw her would any of it matter. She just saw him get beat the fuck up by her boyfriend. He swore that he seemed abusive to him though why would she be with someone like that cupid thought to himself. Why would she ever be with someone like that someone that seemed abusive to her that isn't right of her. He thought she was better of a person then that you know he thought she was actually a caring person well would it even matter now. She probably hated him as much as her boyfriend hated him. With no friends around him and just the rain that started to fall from the sky riding around the city he sat there in the rain just crying to himself. Thinking that he had changed that things have gotten better was this his fault too? Was this something that he should have fixed or tried to fix all these thoughts just piled up again at him. He didn't know what to even think or what was right he didn't care he just knew he fucked up he majorly fucked up. It was clear as day that something was going on between them, but it was clearly not his problem now something that he tried to help he tried to fix he tried to care about her. Though that clearly would not matter now.

Cupid decided before he would go home after sustaining bruises all over his ribs and chest and one even on his face. He went to one of the only places that would give him comfort again he went to the rooftop. He arrived at the rooftop as he passed by junkies in the hallway putting needles in their veins. He saw Lucas at the top sitting on the ledge looking as if he could fall over at a moment's notice and die."Damn what the fuck happened to you you look like you got your ass beat. "Said Lucas as the rain had stopped right as cupid arrived at the top of the rooftop. "Yea I did get my ass beat by Clara's boyfriend Mikey, "Said cupid. "Yeah, you're talking about the boxer, aren't you? Clara is his girlfriend I only knew that cause lucy said she saw you talk to her for a second before her boyfriend intervened that's still crazy you got beat by him what happened? "Said Lucas. "well I thought I would try and help out and I saw that it looked like their relationship was abusive and that Mikey was going to hit her so I stepped in and well it didn't work he beat my ass and took me to the ground I ended up grabbing a metal pipe and strikes his head and ran away on my bike basically "Said cupid depressively."Damn yea I can tell that fasho happened well think at least you're not still getting your ass beat now also you should probably avoid them from now on you don't want to end up with something worse than just a couple bruises you know "Said Lucas with care in his voice. Cupid looked kind of depressed about the situation though. "Here come take one of the tabs bro don't worry about those things come over here "Said Lucas as cupid was just standing in the middle of the rooftop. He took one of the tabs from Lucas and sat on the ledge next to him.
"Sometimes I think to myself like what am i living for or what is life what's my purpose you know what I'm saying Lucas "Said cupid as he stared up at the stars. "Yeah bro I know exactly what you mean even though we only in high school I can't but wonder how fast time will pass us by before we die or before we even notice it."Said Lucas. "Hey, you ever wish to go to the moon just one day see what's up there. "Said cupid as he reached his hand as if he could touch the stars."Cmon cupid what you going to be you going to be an astronaut I want to be a musician or an artist I guess you could say I like the way artist are able to express themselves through music or instruments and able to playthings the human ear likes to hear its interesting what about you? "Said Lucas. "Me personally I'm not sure I want to do something that will impact people on a major scale but I'm not sure what it is yet. Just to be able to see people's faces and them saying hey I made their day better or made them feel some type of way always inspired me I never want to see people doing worse than I did. "Said cupid. "Hey why don't you join my band let's make music when we get out of high school together, I'm sure we can be successful at it "Said Lucas happily cupid would remember this very moment as it was the first time, he would see Lucas's smile with genuine companionship not just because other people were smiling it was. Refreshing. Both cupid and Lucas didn't say anything after that but they both knew they would consider each other brothers for life after that moment eventually cupid went home though all bruised up and bleeding internally and a couple cuts to his face when he looked in the mirror, but he didn't care he knew he would become someone someday although he didn't know who. It was that same night that cupid would cry the first time he had cried in a couple years this deeply. Tears would overfly but not because of negative emotions but because he knew he had to change he had to become someone better like how he swore himself when he was a kid. Cupid you have to achieve every dream you got.
