Chapter 2: Big Mistake

This story, however, starts with a young man named Jake Kynnersly just out of school at age 18 he picked up a simple job in a factory where he worked for a basic wage.

Already moved out of his parent's house Jake lived in a 1 bedroom apartment that was affordable on his basic salary and was comfortable for just him.

The only problem with the place was his neighbour Lee Bradshaw who was your typical low life kind of person, not working, doing drugs, and always playing music loud at night were the few traits that annoyed Jake.

His whole apartment bloc had complained about him multiple times but because his dad was the landlord to the bloc nothing had ever been done about him.

Jake himself had never put a complaint in because he never felt that he needed to as he only used the apartment to eat and sleep in as he was at work pretty much every day apart from weekends.

At weekends Jake would hang out with his friends so he was never really at the apartment much.

It was a pretty peaceful Saturday day for Jake he had nothing planned as his friends were busy with college exams so he had to stay at home.

The day went on and had clocked past 6pm and Jake had started making his dinner, whilst opening the fridge he overheard Lee coming back with a group of people.

Jake: '*Sigh*, looks like it's gonna be a noisy night'

Jake finished preparing his food and placed it in the oven and headed back to his computer and continued with the game he was playing.

10 minutes had gone by and Jake was interrupted by someone banging on the door, as Jake got up from his desk and started heading towards the front door Lee had already opened his door and was making his way into his apartment.

Jake: What the hell do you think you are doing?

Lee: I'm trying to get you to turn your shit down.

Jake: Are you actually insane, how do you even have a key to my place?

Lee: My dad owns the place I have a key to every apartment here.

Jake pushed lee back out the door and into the hallway and pulled his phone out.

Lee: who the hell are you calling?

Jake: the police you can't just come into someone's home and I'm sure they would love to know what's happening in your place.

As he said that Jake looked behind Lee towards Lee's apartment and could see about 10 people trying to clean up their drugs.

Lee: I'm not letting you call the police

Lee had grabbed Jake's phone out of his hands and threw it down the stairs smashing it against the rails.

Jake was in complete shock not fully comprehending what had just happened his vision blurred and he instinctively swung a punch at Lee clocking him in the jaw making Lee stagger and fall down the stairs.

Jake was stood still unable to move as Lee's friends all ran to down the stairs to Lees aid, Jake walked back into his apartment locking his door behind him and sitting down on his chair.

Jake snapped out of his trance like state to the multiple shouting and banging on his front door.

???: GET THE FUCK OUT HERE

???: YOU'RE IN DEEP SHIT NOW WE ARE CALLING THE POLICE

???: guys you sure we should we have a lot of drugs on us

???: shut up we will just hide them

Not knowing what to do and shaking with fear Jake ran out his apartment pushing through Lee's friends as they blocked the stairs multiple thoughts flying through his mind, Jake got into his car started up, and drove off.

Once in his car and away from the scene Jake breaks down and screams out on anger not knowing where he was heading, the thought of Lee's friends telling the police a completely made up story angered Jake more and more as he knew his life would be over if they believed them.

20 minutes had gone by and Jake was pulling back to his apartment parking complex as he was pulling up out the front he saw 2 police cars and an ambulance stationed outside with 2 officers next to one of the cars.

*Tap* *tap* *tap*

Jake looked up and saw one of the officers tapping on his window, Jake opened his door and stepped out waiting for the worst to happen.

Police officer #1: are you Jake Kynnersly

Jake nodded.

Police officer #1: Alright head into the back of my car please ill join you in a moment

Jake meandered over to the officers' car and sat down with the officer closing the door behind Jake watched him walk around the car and get in the driver's seat, getting a notepad and pen out and turned so he was now facing Jake.
