The Boy Trapped

Chapter 16

Colette's POV
"I am going to finish getting dressed. I'm going to drive us to my mom's. I'm not letting this fuck your birthday up."

I got down in front of him.

"Baby listen. I don't care, what'll happen with my family. They took me away from you. They will NOT do that again. I don't let that happen. Got it? You are stuck with me. We're gonna get married. We're gonna have a family. Okay?"

He nodded. We got up and got ready. We got into his car.

"I-I can't go in."

"Okay. Okay. I'll be right back."

I kissed him then got out of his car. I ran up to my mom's front door. I rang the doorbell. I crossed my arms. The front door opened and I saw a man.

"Ah! You must be Colette!"

"Where is my mother?"

I pushed my way inside.

"MOM?! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

I saw my mom running up to me. She went to hug me but I pushed her away.

"What the hell Cole?!"

"Why have you been treating Nyxon like shit?"

"He kept showing up."

"Well MAYBE it's because he was worried?! Ever thought of that?! You should've just told him where I was!"

"That wouldn't have made any difference."

"You don't want me to be happy, do you?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then why'd you shut him out?"

"Ana was convinced it was his fault."

"Oh so you just let her believe that?"

"Well...you see...she doesn't like him."

"How the FUCK can she not like someone, she's never met?! Actually...don't freaking answer that. Why did you threaten him with a bloody restraining order?!"

"O-oh god. H-he told you that?"

"Yeah! Are you saying that he's lying now?!"

"No. I-I said it."

"Why?!"

"He was harassing me and my husband!"

"Oh so I'm gone for 2 years and you remarry and not tell me? What the fuck?!"

The man threw me up against the wall.

"Watch how you talk to your mother."

"And who the fuck are you?"

"Your step father."

"Touch me and I swear...I'll knock your ass out."

"Is your boyfriend a whimp? Why won't he do it?"

"He's too nice. He hates hurting people."

The man pulled something out of his waistband. I looked down. I saw a gun. I took a deep breath.

"NYXON!"

I looked at the front door. I saw Nyxon running in. He ran to me. He jumped in front of me. The gun went off. I screamed. Nyxon fell down.

"NO!"

I got on the floor and started scanning his body.

"Where'd he shoot you?!"

I heard Nyxon struggling to breathe. He grabbed my wrist. My heart cracked. I looked up. He had a hole in his chest.

"Francis what the fuck?!"

I started putting pressure on Nyxon's chest. He started crying.

"Y-you're gonna be okay!"

His eyes started fluttering.

"No no! Stay with me!"

I saw the life drain from his eyes.

"NO!"

I cupped his face.

"Don't do this to me!" I said as my voice cracked.

"I just got you back! Baby stay with me!"

I heard him take a breath. His eyes didn't shut. He was just staring at me. I screamed again.

"I love you! I'm so so sorry!"

I shut his eyes and kissed his forehead. I looked up. My mother was crying. Francis looked shocked.

"YOU KILLED HIM!"
