1 can it get any worse

Tt was cold the middle of December Christmas Eve I'm alone in my car freezing, I wonder if this will be the end it's so cold I know if I fall asleep I'll probably die.

Would that be so bad, I can't help but think on the events that led me here on how useless I am, how much of a failure I am, how I could have done things so much better. what led me here well it was my own stupidity I was living happily in a another State, another town and I wasn't alone.

I had a wonderful companion by my side a woman I loved dearly, a woman I took for granted.

We live together for 9 years 9 years of me being stupid.

Bless her heart for staying with me as long as she did I was an uneducated youth who didn't know how to live his life properly, didn't know how to take care of others couldn't hold down a job for more than 6 months and yet she still stayed with me.

We had an apartment it was a small place but it was enough for us we made enough money to live although she made the bulk of it she took care of me and, I let her down I was lazy and selfish.

Oh I wish I knew then what I mean now, oh well anyways she got sick had terrible headaches our apartment became infested with roaches we had to leave no one would take us in not her family no one.

So we went to another state where my parents lived and asked them if we could stay they let us but I didn't change.

After months of trying to find out what was wrong with her we finally found out And the doctors just kept stringing her along trying to get that insurance money, and here I was being an idiot unemployed well she worked hard despite the pain.

Thinking about it now I was such an idiot I told myself I'd never let myself be so stupid again I ruined everything.

One day she just had enough she couldn't take it anymore she decided to move back with her family alone.

It broke my heart and hers as her mother-in-law picked her up.

We cried and held each other I knew we loved each other but I also knew I couldn't go with her she didn't want me to, and so she left we stayed in touch for a while. But what hurt the most was after 3 months she found someone new someone who treated her right who got her the doctor treatment she needed she's better now they're thinking about getting married.

Oh what a fool I was to let her go if I ever get a second chance I won't ever be so stupid again.

But oh well, oh it's so dark out now.

After that I spent a year morning my loss my stupidity I finally found a job, one that I thought I could hold I worked so hard to get recognized.

I didn't want to be the lazy good for nothing anymore and things were starting to turn up I was turning better.

But I got into a fight with my family it ended up costing me the only shelter I had no one to take me in no friends no family.

So here I am in my car on Christmas Eve and wondering if it'll be my last night on earth, I'm so cold so tired I look out the window and I see snow falling.

How I love the snow soft blanket to usher me into eternity that'd be nice.

However a nice peaceful night just wouldn't happen any other way would it.

As I'm focusing on my sorrows and my poor Fortune I hear a scream so loud, it's not far I wonder what's going on so I listen I hear it again a plea for help so I checked my phone find it's dead of course.

So I do the only thing I could I get out of my car grab the baseball bat I have in it, and I go off to where I hear the screaming we're in the middle of nowhere there's a few houses scattered but there's no cops no nothing it's just cold the snow falling on the plains.

As I'm moving through the snow I find group of people surrounding what appears to be a small child she's frightened scared she seems hurt.

My first thought is who are these people what's going on but then I'm just purely dumbfounded, What I see is what I can only describe as bikers without the bikes.

You know leather jackets bikes baseball bats made out of aluminum with spikes on the end that kind of thing, and I'm thinking what have I got myself into and just what I'm thinking I'm about to be a piece of s*** and leave this poor little girl alone, she turns and looks at me and screams for my help.

Of course everybody else has to turn and look at me too well I guess I was going to end up going to hell sooner or later might as well be now in might as well take some of these bastards with me.

If I can there's at least six of them and only one of me so knowing that I'm probably f***** either way pick up my baseball bat swing it over my head and tell them to leave that girl alone they all laugh.

Hell I'm laughing it's just absolutely stupid that this one guy is going up against all these other guys nothing but a baseball bat in hand.

It's not even a cool one with metal or spikes or anything just a simple oak baseball bat so naturally the minute they turn their gaze from little girl, well most of them.

One of them is staying right next to the girl the rest decide to come and teach poor little old me lesson.

Well jokes on them I may be alone but I hit like a freight train and I can take a hit all night long if necessary.

So with them coming at me I decide to do the only thing that come natural and go right for it.

It starts off successful at first they didn't think I had the balls to come after them well they were wrong I hit the first one in the head so hard I swear his head explodes.

Thoughts that was probably just the adrenaline speaking i follow up and hit the next guy and the next guy I think I took a few hits but in all honesty I can't feel a thing that's probably not good and I keep on going and going till one of them hits me squaring the head with one of those chains knocks me flat on the ground.

I'm dizzy and disoriented but I hear in the distance a nice pair of sirens and I can't help but thinking I must have lucked out.

I took a look to see where the little girl is turns out with my great heroics or at least I think great heroics it's hard to think with a fuzzy head she's managed to get away.

I see her running towards the sirens the biker guys that are still standing are cursing and they're yelling it's time to go.

Not before the one who was standing next to the girl I can only assume is the leader comes right up to me.

I think he's just going to kick me or whatever and tell me you f***** up and I'll be hunting you or whatever.

That's right up until I see something shiny come right out of his pocket, and now I'm looking right down the barrel of a gun.

Funny thing is I'm not scared if anything I feel a little relieved as pathetic as that sounds.

I took one last look at where that girl was running and I see the two cop cars pulling up next to her and officer came out of the car she was a beautiful woman I can even tell in the snow even with my dizzy view all.

I can see was the silver hair and bright sparkling blue eyes little girl ran right into her embrace while her partner was holding his sidearm at his side screaming get down on the ground. Then I look back up I saw that smile, a smile from the man who's probably about to kill me in the last thought that went through my mind, but is I'm happy she made it safe right before I heard a bang and it all went black
