I'm Here

chapter 28

Aaron pov
She was back in my arms. Safe with me. This time he went way to far. I'll kill my own father. That is all there is to it. Tonight I will go. I can't tell her or she will freak out. She won't go to sleep. Won't let me leave the house. I woke up after she rolled over. We talked a bit and then I decided to go make her breakfast. I walked back up afterwards and she sat up slowly. I could tell they she was in pain. I have her the food and she ate slowly.
"Thank you," she smiled.
"Anything for you," I said.
She smiled again and I took the empty plate from her. She was extremely skinny, underweight by a lot. I sat next to her.
"Lay down for me," I said.
I helped her back and I slightly lifted her shirt. Her body stiffened. I looked at her and she relaxed.
"Sorry," she sighed.
I lifted it just enough to see the large cut on her stomach. I walked out of the room and to the bathroom. I walked back in with a needle and thread. Time to stitch her up. I gave her a heavy sleeping pill and a glass of water. She fell asleep. I knew she was scared, I could tell by the look on her face before she went to sleep. I wiped away all of the dried up blood and then stitched it back together. Afterwards I put a needle in her to fill her up. It was nice having someone that I knew was a nurse. My mom was. She taught me before she left, so I could protect myself. Anyways back to her...she was pale. Like a ghost. Her eyes were dark underneath. Her body was still a bit cold; but not like it was yesterday. After I finished I wrapped her waist in gauze. Better. I made sure that there was no more blood anywhere else. Then I covered her with a heater blanket and turned it on medium. That outta warm her up for good. Now was the time to go. I grabbed the gun out from under my bed. I put on a black coat, sweats, hat and face mask. I would go undetected. I walked out of the house and to my dad's. The door was unlocked. I walked in and he was on the couch. Asleep. I put the gun to his head.
"Dad you hurt me," I whisperered, "and then you nearly killed her. Emma, she's the sweetest person in the world! Dammit dad I can not believe you did that to her. I love her and for you to do that to her is unbelievable. Now you have got to pay. I'm so done with you causing pain!"
I put the finger on the trigger and pulled it. There was a loud bang and then a ringing in my ear. I looked at him. Blood everywhere. Tears fell down my face but I had to. I walked out of the house.
