~Lances POV ~

It had been three days since the so-called "kitchen mess".

I was sitting in my office righting things down when a small message popped up on my laptop.

I was about to click it but Eli screamed my name calling me downstairs.

I rolled my eyes shut my laptop and walked downstairs to the door where Eli had been standing with the door open.

A younger-looking boy stood glaring at me and I froze when I realized who he looked like.

Eli slowly backed up but watched from a distance in case the boy tried anything because Eli too knew who he was.

"I'm the brother of the girl who you killed after refusing to marry her" he spat walking into my house and up at me.

Brooks brother. I thought baffled as I looked down at the scrawnier blond-colored boy.

Before I could even blink the kid had a gun pulled out to my chest.

He was shaking and on the verge of crying.

I could tell the guy had never shot anyone before like his siblings had.

I scoffed turning around and walking over to a table to pour myself a drink as the tip of his barrel followed my chest.

"W-why aren't you scared?" he asked with a stutter.

"Because we all know damn well that you're not going to shoot me, you're holding the gun wrong, and let me guess you have never shot anyone in your life," I said walking over to him.

He took a step back as I stopped in front of him and raised my arms with the drink swaying in my hand as I did so.

"Go ahead kid" he looked down at him "WHY DID YOU DO IT?" he screamed lowering the gun.

I sighed "I had to," I said slowly. I didn't expect him to know what my job was and he seemed like he didn't.

He stepped back towards the door, "you should probably leave, I know you're mad but this is clearly getting you nowhere " I said looking down at him.

"YOUR A MONSTER" he ran out crying "I know" I muttered with a sigh as I sat down on my couch.

I took a sip of what was surprisingly water.

I leaned my head back as Eli sat beside me.

"We need to do something good in our lives." Eli scoffed turning his head towards me.

I slowly nodded while walking to the kitchen "yeah" I muttered.

I heard the door open as a loud Sam walked into the house talking to someone on the phone.

She had a smile on her face as she told the person "goodbye" and hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" I asked as I walked out over to her.

Just a friend from high school she said looking up at me.

"Guess what!?" she asked with a smile "what?" I asked amused that she was all happy.

"We are going to Monday night church, plus I think we both need it" she scoffed.

"Clearly " Eli butted in trying to cover it with a fake cough.

I looked over glaring at him.

"I'll give you ten min to get ready " she giggled walking off.

"Fuck" I said in a lower tone once she left looking down.

I sighed walking up to my office and slumped down in my chair feeling a little uneasy after some alcohol.

I leaned my head back towards the ceiling with a groan but looked back to the computer when I saw something pop up.

It was a message from an unknown number.

I clicked on it and froze when I read it.

"He's still alive!"

I winded my eyes and scanned my eyes over the screen as an intruding cough come up my throat.

I bent down as the one cough turned to more and before I knew it I was hunched over the sink as blood dripped from my mouth.

I rested my hands on the side of the sink as my head hung down.

I glared at myself through my eyes and at the mirror.

"Are you ready?!" I heard Sam yell over my loud breathing.

I cleared my throat and whipped my wrist over my mouth.

"Coming," I said as I opened the door looking down to see her in a yellow sun dress.

I smiled back at her as she grabbed my hand and led me to the car.

My eyes traced over the Bible she had in her hand held clutched against her waist.

"At least one of us will go to heaven, I knew I was far too gone".

Sorry for the short chapter hoped y'all liked it.
What do y'all think the message is?
