I'm Fine //Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning next to Dawson. I slowly got up being extra careful not to wake him up since he was a light sleeper.

I walked down stairs and sat on the couch next to Noah.

"Morning Brooke." Noah spoke giving me a leg hug.

"Morning Noah." I replied.

"You and I are going back to Virginia today." My mom spoke.

"What!? Why?! He's gonna kill us!" I exclaimed.

"We have to settle things."

"Mom! Can't you see he has anger issues. He might, no correction will hurt us."

"I know."

"Well then why are we going."

"Because I need to talk to him."

"Fine I'll come."

I ran upstairs and got dressed. I put on a floral crop top with a jacket, white jeans, and my skate vans. I put my hair in a ponytail and grabbed my phone.

I said goodbye to my brothers and my mom and I drove to Virginia.

-•-• in Woodbridge, Virginia •-•-
We pulled up into our driveway and walked up to the front door. I quickly called the cops. I opened the door and saw dad there watching TV.

"Where the hell have you been!?" He asked.

"At Gina's."

"Why were you there?"

"To get away from you." I spat.

"Excuse me."

"You heard me." I spat back surprised by my sudden boost of confidence.

"We called the cops." Moms shaky voice spoke.

"You did what?" He asked pulling out a gun.

"Tom to I'm sorry, Brooke did not me."

"Well I guess I'll just have to shoot you both." He smirked.

"Bam, Bam!" He shot my mom. I stood there and watched her lifeless body bleed out.

"Woodbridge PD! Open up." I faintly heard.

They broke down the doors and put my do in handcuffs. A lady came over to me.

"Hey, are you okay?" She asked.

"No, lady are you stupid I just watched my dad kill my mom! Why would I be okay." I thought.

"Can I get you anything?"

"No"

"Can you come with me?" She asked.

"Sure" I said.

She asked me a billion questions. After she finished, I saw Matt looking at me with wide eyes. I probably looked like an emotion wreck since I had been crying my eyes out. I ran over to Matt and jumped in his arms and cried in his shoulder.

"Shhh...it will be okay I'm always here for you." He said rubbing my back.

I grabbed his cheeks and pulled his face to mine. Our lips moved in sync. There were fireworks it was like an atomic bomb exploded.

"I really really really really really really like you." I said and he laughed at my Carly Rae Jepsen reference.

"I really really really really really really like you to." He said and I laughed.

How could he make me happy when my mom just died.

He put me down and I called Dawson.

"Hey! How did it go?" He asked.
