The Knock 'em Down Boys - a coming of age novel with a twist! The beginning of Chapter 1.

Having read the beginning of Chapter 1 below - do you want to find out more? Let me know and I will post the complete Chapter 1.

My best friend.

My do anything for me best mate is lying limp while I’m clutching his cracked-up head and chaos is everywhere. Blind panic is kicking everyone in the arse. The whole area seems to empty in an instant. That’s the effect that the Police have on people like us.

 It all happens that quickly and then, there’s just us three.

Me, Sparky and El Pigface.

Sirens are sounding. They get louder and louder, or at least that’s what I imagine happens because I can’t really hear anything but the short painful breaths of my friend and the whimpers he makes as we try to make him comfortable.

His blood is seeping onto his jacket. It’s warm and sticky on my hands. I keep thinking that the jacket will be ruined now. I know how much he liked it. I pull off my own jacket and wrap it around him hoping it might help but the blood is seeping through into it too.

His blood.

I don’t know what more to do.

El Pigface has called for an ambulance. I’m scared. My mate’s in trouble – serious trouble. We all are. Nothing is what we thought that it was anymore and this shit is too real. Everything’s messed up.

I’m crying too, because I realise that I love my mate the way that you love the most important person you have in your world.

I’m crying because I love him like that. And I’m crying because he’s probably dying.

I expect that you want to know how we ended up like this?

Well, I can tell you, it wasn’t simple...

If you liked this and you want to know more - let me know below and I will post the rest of Chapter 1.
