Just another Night

             It was about a month before I left Iowa to come to Vegas. As Josh and I were walking back to Freddy's apartment, I turned to look behind us and I saw a flashlight shinning in my eyes. The police officer was walking toward us and asked us for our ID's. He leaned me up against the car and frisked me. I put my arms behind my back; I felt the steel getting tighter against my wrist with every click. Next thing I knew I was in the back of the police car sitting in the most uncomfortable seat I had ever sat in. After Josh sat next to me we started laughing telling old stories. I finally felt relief after nine years. As the cop turned the car around, I remembered my last day of school in fifth grade. Ruben and I were walking home, and out of no where this guy in eighth grade came up behind us and started punching Ruben. Ruben started swinging back, but the guy had hit him a couple times and took off. This fight was not broken up like a lot of fights I had seen before. I could not believe that I just stood there and watched my best friend get beat, I did not help him. I have two older brothers and no one had ever messed with me or anyone of my friends before. Ruben had an older sister. He really did not have anyone to protect him. We picked up this bag and walked home after I made sure he was ok. On the way home all I could think about was why I just stood there. .
             I thought Ruben was never going to talk to me again. Sure enough like a true friend he forgave me. I said I was sorry for not helping him and he understood for some reason. We never talked about it again. That night I got home and told my brothers about what had happened. At first they made fun of me. They were kind of upset that I did not help my friend but they were also happy that nothing happened to me. My brothers said that one day he was going to need my help with something bigger and that if I helped him then it would have made up for it.
