The One I Knew Before

May Her Murderer's Soul Rest Horribly.

It's the day.
I sit down on my couch impatiently. Thoughts running through my head. My mom had called already to check in and go over the plan. She reminded me to stick to it even if I'm scared. Different scenarios of what could happen spin around my head. My heart starts beating causing my breath to hitch. I called the police not to long ago to make sure they were aware of this plan but I wanted to put a twist on things. My dad likes to go out to a shooting range. Since he has so many different variations of guns he won't notice if a pistol is missing, will he? I hold the un loaded pistol in my hand, turning it to it's side to see all it's glory. When I kill Matthew I'll take a photo next to his dead body and see how he likes it. I'll pose with his body as if I completed the most impossible task in the world. Who cares if I go to jail at least a sicko is getting put down. It'll save everyone the fear and the restlessness if he just dies. If he was just in prison he could escape and hurt more people. He could hurt my family. I most currently do NOT want that. Neither does anyone else. I'm going to kill him for what he did to Iris, I'm going to kill him for what he did to Avery and I'm going to kill him for what he did to me. There is not a single thought that is telling me to back out of this plan. What much is there to lose if I end up in jail? Yes I won't see my family but Caleb hates me, Iris is dead, school is pure shit knowing that everything reminds me of Iris and I met Matthew there. At least my family can visit at times. I hear my dad come home so I slip the pistol and ammo in my backpack and sling it on my back. I climb out of my bed and exit my room.
"Hi dad!" I scream down the stairs.
"Hey Ace! Everything okay?" He asks.
"Yeah, you just need to drive Aiden and I to Mom's" I say pointing over to my brother Aiden scrolling, bored on his phone.
"Oh right we'll hop on in the car!" He exclaims.
Aiden's ears perk up and he sprints to the car with his bag. I follow after and my dad locks the door behind us. As Aiden and I get buckled in the car Aiden looks at me.
"Are you going to be alright?" He asks.
"Yes don't worry, just make sure you and mom don't come back till I text you two" I whisper as my dad comes into the car.
"What are you two whispering about?" He teases.
"Nothing dad" I chuckle.
Aiden and I exchange looks knowing damn well there was something that was being whispered about.

Once we arrived at my mom's house we quickly ran out the car.
"Whoa you boys sure are excited to see your mom" My dad smiled.
We started knocking frantically and ringing the doorbell to get our mom's attention. She comes down and opens the door.
"Hello!" She exclaims.
We throw ourselves into her arms and she looks up to smile at our dad before he drives off.
"Alright boys hurry on in, they'll be here any minute" My mom says pushing us into the house.
I run up the stairs to go greet my cat.
"Hey Maya!" I say as I run over to her.
She rubs against me as I pet her.
"Ace go put you're bag away and get ready" My mom demands as she walks into Aiden's room.
"Sorry mom, I'll do it right now" I walk fast to my room.
My mom is taking my brother somewhere so he doesn't hear or witness what's going to happen. It's all to make sure he's safe and calm. My mom wants to be here with me but my brother needs to be watched. I place my backpack on my bed and pull out the pistol. I stare at it for a while, rethinking my decision. I hear a knock on my door making me drop the gun. The door opens and I hurry to put it in my bag.
"Aiden and I are going to head out now, please be safe Ace" I hear my mom say.
"I will mom" I smile back at her.
I go to give her a hug and she kisses the top of my head.
"I love you"
"I love you too"

I'm scrolling endlessly on my phone. How long does it take for two people to get here? As soon as I scroll onto the next video the doorbell rings. I instantly get up. I practically fly down my stairs as I rush to open the door. As I did the two people standing in front of me squealed.
"Hiii!" They said in unison.
"Hey guys" I smile and wave a bit.
Carla pushes her way in and drags Matthew behind her.
"Hey I didn't say you could come in!" I exclaim as they are already halfway up the stairs laughing.
"Too bad loser" Carla yells holding her fingers in the shape of a L.
"Bye babeee" Matthew says lightly waving at me.
Those words make chills go down my spine. They made me cringe. I wanted to bash his face in so badly at that moment. I close the door as I hear them sit on the couch.
"I totally forgot you guys are dating now" Carla says as I make my way up the stairs.
Tell me about it.
"Yeah we made it official not to long ago" I hear Matthew say proudly.
If I didn't know this guy killed my girlfriend and tried to murder her best friend then I would feel a little sorry for what's about to happen. Sike. My mom went to visit Avery. She said Avery told her that Matthew tried to make her do sexual things with her. He tried to hurt her when she wouldn't do what he asked. He tried to do so many things to her during the time where Avery didn't know Iris existed.  This whole thing is to get revenge on Matthew for the people he's hurt. I plop down on the couch.
"Do you guys want to watch something?" I ask.
"Could we talk about something instead?" Carla asks looking sad.
"Sure what's up?" I say concerned.
"It's Avery, I've visited her everyday since her accident" She says as tears spring into her eyes almost instantly "I didn't think she'd be a person to do that"
Once I heard her last sentence my blood turned cold. She thinks Avery was stupid enough to run away. She believes Matthew.
"Avery doesn't talk to me so it's been hard to communicate but she just listens to me" Carla explains.
I grit my teeth and try not to make it noticeable. Matthew scoots over to Carla and wraps an arm around her.
"She'll have a fast recovery, I promise" He says.
That's it.
"Oh guys I think I left my phone in my room, let me go get it" I say as I stand up.
I quickly walk to my room as I feel the two stare me down. I open my door and slightly close it. I quickly rummage through my bag and pull out the pistol. I look over at my phone and see that the police texted that they were on the way. I grabbed the pistol and loaded it, full of rage. I ran out of my room and pointed it straight at Matthew.
"EAT SHIT ASSHOLE" I yell pulling the trigger.
The bullet goes flying straight toward him. It hits him right in the chest and he starts to wheeze. Carla starts screaming as blood had gotten onto her. She tried to stop his bleeding while cursing at me but I shot again shooting him in the head.
"ACE WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU" Carla screams while crying.
"HE KILLED IRIS AND TRIED TO MURDER YOUR FUCKING GIRLFRIEND, HE IS A MONSTER AND YOU'RE HIS SIDE KICK" I scream tears pouring down my face.
I point the gun towards Carla, I'm about to pull the trigger when the door gets broken open.
"POLICE POLICE" I hear men yell.
I quickly pull my gun down. I try to steady my breath. As they come up the stairs I drop my gun and put my hands up, tears now slowly falling down my face.
"Ace Wood?" I hear an officer say.
"That's me" I say staring at the dead body before me.
The officer looks between me and Matthew's dead body.
"Did you kill him?" He asks approaching me.
"Yes sir" I say.
"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to arrest you, please put your hands behind your back"
