Michael yanked me away from the door, I nearly fell. He had me by the back of my shirt and pushed me forward. He managed to get me into the living room. I was pushed to the ground, I tried to get back up but Michael kneeled over me in my face. I leaned away

“Now now” he smiled “Don’t make me have to hurt you” he smirked

I glared at him. His hand caressed my face.

“So? How’s Andy doing?” he smirked “You have quite a glow, you’re in love with him” he said

I slapped his hand away. He just smirked and pinned me down. He tilted his head, I couldn’t breath. I shut my eyes and in that moment I heard a boom. Michael got off of me, I sat up quickly. My mom. She stood by the front door. She was shaking furiously pointing it at Michael whom was standing next to me.

“Candice” Michael said stepping forward putting his hands up defensively

“Get away from her” my mom shouted

He just stood there and smirked.

“You think this is funny? Get the fuck away from my daughter” my mom stepped closer

“Candice…..you won’t shoot me” Michael smiled

My mom shot the tv just to the side of Michael, he jumped away.

“GET THE FUCK OUT” my mom demanded

He scooted around me with his hands up in the air. He slowly slipped passed my mom, she never let the gun leave his direction. He suddenly stopped and stepped forward into the gun. It was pressed against his chest. My mom was confused.

“Shoot me” he demanded

My mom shook her head.

“DO IT” He yelled

She just held the gun. Doing nothing.

“That’s what I thought” he smiled and turned away. Suddenly he turned back and hit my mother full force in the face. She fell backwards dropping the gun.
I lunged across the room to try to get her, I heard a click. Michael had picked the gun off the ground and had it pointed at me now.

“You see Candice?” Michael looked at my mom

She held her face.

“If you would have stayed put, we wouldn’t be here right now” Michael said still pointing the gun at me

“I wasn’t going to let you hurt my daughter any longer!” my mom yelled

“Oh? Should we dub you mother of the year now?” Michael teased

She looked at me. I was crying and so was she.

“Christ, you couldn’t EVER live up to that title, you never did. All the things I got away with…the things I did to your precious daughter” Michael went on

“and now….you’ve just got yourself a front row ticket to watch” Michael laughed

I didn’t know I had it in me, but I did. I ran at Michael and knocked him to the ground. He dropped the gun and I picked it up in both my hands. I held it under his chin. He held the barrel of the gun. He laughed.

“Oh? You’re going to shoot me?” he laughed

I just shook holding the gun.

“Because if you don’t…I’ll find you” He smirked

I was shaking so hard “NOOOO” I SCREAMED and pulled the trigger. A loud boom cracked through the house. I felt splatter on my face. Blood. He’s gone. I killed him. I pulled the trigger and killed him. I was still holding the gun unable to react. I stared down at his mangled bloodshot head.

“OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD” my mom screamed getting up

I dropped the gun and fell away backwards. My mom scrambled over to me. She attempted to embrace me.

“Don’t FUCKING TOUCH me” I said and shoved her away

She was confused.

“GET AWAY FROM ME” I spat

“Sonny…” she said

“IT’S YOUR FAULT!” I screamed “ALL OF IT!”

She started to cry. I didn’t care. She ruined my life. She let this happen to me.
