I Think I Like to Die Alone

I woke up to the sirens. The daily BLind sirens at exactly 6:30pm, seems like they either found another wanted Joyrider or possibly someone that was part of us, the Killjoys. I get out of my bed and go to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror, my hair still a dark red yet it was cut because I have lost to a stupid bet. This morning's cuts and bruises, from the recent job given to me yesterday, covered my arms and face. My hair seemed to be really greasy yet I didn't care too much about it but I believed that I should at least take a shower for once. Before I could get in the shower, and murder all the leftover blood from this morning, I here a knock on my door. I went to check who it was, thinking it could either be Mikey or just another job oppurtunity. I unlock my two locks and I look at who it was. "Do my eyes decieve me?" I asked the man that can only behold such fro.
"Quite frankly they do not, it really is me." The kind man spoke out.
"Well, I was actually expecting you to be Mikes but I guess not. Thanks Ray." I said sarcastly.
Ray smiled and asked, "Well, may I enter?"
"Oh yeah, sure. C'mon in dude." My voice cheerfully than well before he came in.
"Cool, so how were things without me around during the past week or so?"
"Well, it all is just so much. The corperations actually know what time wanted Joyriders and Killjoys will be out and I here I'm one of them. So, I have to go through a lot of jobs and schedules to clear my name. Some of the jobs are even illegal but it'll still clear my name. Like I said before it's all too much."
"Damn, that sucks for you." Ray commented.
"Yeah, well how was living the lie as a Blank?" I asked.
"Well, I ran into some Joyriders that we went to school with. I also saw Blanks, most of them said they wanted to leave the community and to just become Killjoy or a Joyrider, sort of like how I did."
"Oh yeah, who were the Blanks and Joyriders?" I asked out of curiousuty.
"Umm, the Blanks were Mark, Tom, and Travis. The Joyriders were Pete, Patrick, Bert, and Big Worm."
"Whoa, I haven't seen Pete and Big Worm in awhile. That's amazing."
"Yeah, from the last time we both saw them, they were well, in loads of trouble with BLind."
"Yeah man, did they clear themsleves or what?"
"Umm, they did some kind of community work, not for BLind thank goodness but for the Joyriders."
"Oh that's cool."
"Yep, so how's Mikey?"
"Mikey? Well, he's getting better. Recovering from a few battle scars from today." That's probably why he didn't knock on the door today.
"Oh, what happened?"
"Umm, I'm guessing that he took a few hits from one of the BLind officers or something. We've been hearing on the streets that there's a fifth community and they're in the shadows. Taking jobs from others and trying to get a way to survive themselves but in the dangerous way."
"I heard that as well, y'know what they say, '2019 the year full of Danger Days'." Ray commented.
"Yeah, Danger Days." I chuckled. It got silent for a minute of two until both Ray and I heard a quiet knock on the door.
"It might be Mikes!" Ray screamed whilst squeezing my arm in his hand.
"Yeah...lemme answer the door so I can see if it is him." Quickly getting out of the tight grasp Ray had. I walk towards the door hoping that it was a recovered Mikey. I open the door and soon peer my head out and find Mikey in his shades that could only match him.
"Hey." He said giving me a nod that showed half of the sass he contained.
"Hey Mikes. Where have you been?" I greeted Mikey with no hesitation.
"Yeah Mikes!" Ray yelled in the background and Mikey looking behind my shoulder in such confusion yet I could still see the excitement.
"Oh yeah, come on in." I then invited him. Mikey had came in but instead of acting like a muture person he runs in like a little kid that has just seen the new park built down the block. I shut the door and locked it for very special reasons, and turned around hoping to not see a Mikey and Ray making out. I let out a greatful loud sigh and stated, "Oh thank god. I thought I would have to tell you guys to get a room." In return both Mikey and Ray gave me death glares and I just shared a chuckle to show how much they "scared" me.
"Hah! Gee you're so funny." Mikey let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Right back at ya Mikes." I then winked at Ray and Mikey holding eachother "ever so greatly".
"I swear you two are never gonna stop using sarcasm no matter what." Ray joined in the, I guess, small talk.
"Yeah, its a tool." Mikey winked and laughed at Ray's reaction, I chuckled a bit.
"Well," I started to speak, "what brings all of you people to my room at 7:10pm?" Ray and Mikey let go of eachother and nodded at eachother.
"I'm pretty sure it's because we want to talk to you. We all haven't gotten to talk big talk in such a long time." Ray established a great factoid. I mean it's all so true, Mikes and I haven't gotten to talk about serious things going on in our lives and Ray well he's been gone for like a week or two.
"Yeah Ray's right, we haven't done much in the past month." I nodded in agreement to Mikes' statement.
"Well, I guess we did miss out on numerous occations and we all haven't exchanged big talk in awhile."
"Exactly, so that's why we're going out tonight." Ray said in such a happy voice.
"Okay then, just let me take a shower because I got so much blood on me. Some of it isn't even mine." I quickly stated and Mikes face was in total shock. I walked into the bathroom, closed the door and started to get undressed.
