My dad said he was going for a walk but that was around three hours ago and now it was getting late. 
I turned over to face my alarm clock which read 11:27pm.

"Where are you dad?" I whispered walking over to peek through my window, checking if I could spot him. I moaned and threw on my jacket, grabbed the keys and headed out the front door, locking it behind me.

 It was cold outside and every now and then I felt a rain drop fall onto different sections of my face. 

I stepped through puddles, with the water soaking into my shoes, leaving me to walk with wet soggy socks.  

I came to a street which was blocked by a tall fence. I looked around at my surroundings trying to figure out where to go next, or how to get over the fence that was standing in front of me.

"Where's my money?" I heard a voice screaming out in the distance

"I don't have your money" A voice sounding  familiar to my dads.

"You know the deal!"

I furiously climbed over the fence, slipping as I went. Stupid rain.
I could hear punches being thrown and bodies dropping to the ground.

"DAD!" I screamed, falling on the other side of the fence. I stood up and brushed myself off while running towards him. 
As I got closer, the scene was becoming clearer then the moment before. 

My dad was standing up against a wall with 2 men holding him down and another in front of my father holding a gun with his hand on the trigger.

"DADDY!" I screamed again  
"Ashley go back home!" He turned to face me, a tear falling from his eye. 
"I've already called the cops" I lied

The man dropped the gun and walked up towards my dad. He gave a look to the two other men, who had a strong build and looked really tough. 
One of their hands flew into my dads face and the others punched the sides of his stomachs while he fell to the floor being kicked and elbowed. 

"Stop you're killing him!" I cried running towards them but being pushed to the floor. I watched at my dad was being strangled with tears rolling down my eyes, screaming in hope that someone was listening. I would have called the police but I didn't have my phone on me.

I looked around and that's when I noticed the gun on the floor near by.

I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the fact that my dad was getting beaten to death. 

I had already lost my mum, she went missing a few years ago and has never been able to be found. I wasn't planning to lose my dad.

I held the gun in my hand and aimed it at the guy who was strangling my dad. I placed my finger on the trigger and pulled it. 

A loud bang was sent throughout the street and then silence followed shortly after.

All eyes turned to face me as I stood there with my eyes wide open and breathing heavily.
I closed my eyes and then opened them again to see if it wasa  dream.

It wasn't, it was reality.

There he was, laying next to my dad with the 2 other men staring down at him, blood rushing from his body to form a pool around him.

"Oh my god" I whispered.

People must of heard the Gun shot and this time someone really did call the police. 

The sirens, the lights and the cars were surrounding the crime scene. At this point I was still holding the gun. Soon enough the lights from the cars had spotted me and I used my hand as protection from the brightness.

I dropped the guns and ran as fast as I could.
