Revengeful

The Murder

   It all happened about a month before we were supposed to get married. We were getting ready for bed, and I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, washing my face, ya know the usual things you do before bed. As I was finishing up and walking out of the bathroom, I hear Salem scream from the kitchen, a second after I heard at least 5 gunshots before there was the thud of his body hitting the ground. I rush out to the kitchen to find Salem on the tile floor of the kitchen, blood pooling around him as he was choking on their blood, the weapon on the ground next to him. The window was open and I saw a glipse of someone jump out and get away before anything else could be done. I got down next to him, accidentally touching the gun that was left after the suspect fled the scene, trying to stop the bleeding from the wounds but it wasn't working. Salem put his hand on my cheek, leaving a bloody hand print on my face before they gave a weak smile. After a few seconds, he let out his final breath and went completely limp, their hand fell to the ground.

   I sit there with a blank but shocked expression, processing what happened, I didn't know what to do. Blood was all over my body, the gun right next to me as well as Salem's limp body on the ground right in front of me. Before I knew it, The cops break down the door and start yelling at me to get down on the ground, I do so since I don't want to be shot. They put me in handcuffs and walk me out of the apartment to the cop car, I had finally processed what was happening and broke down in tears in the back of the car. I didn't stop for what seemed like hours but when I did stop, I had ended up passing out on the seats. I woke up in a jail cell, uncuffed but still covered in Salem's blood, I just looked at my hands in silence. I didn't know what was gonna happen, I just wanted it to all be a bad dream. I just wanted Salem back...
