The flashback.
"Ryder! I know you are stealing money I knew it from the star that was all you wanted when you got this job." I said.
"If you knew that's all I wanted then why did you get me that job in the first place!" Ryder said.
"Oh, don't talk to me that way I'm still the oldest around here! When I report you you'll only regret it!"
"Only thing you need to report is that husband of yours with Mariann!" He stormed off. I never seen him so angry. Mariann and Ryder were good friends, lovers at once I believed because she always told him everything. I think she told him about her and my husband. Everyone seems to know my husband is cheating on me, but I hold it in because of the same of my daughter, Ryan. She shouldn't have to live with that on her chest, she's only six!I got in my car and drove to my husband Daniel's job. "Where is she?" I asked him. "Who?" He said. " you are acting dumb, where is Mariann? Where?"
"Listen Amanda we will discuss this at home, but you can't just come barging and creating a scene at my job!"
I didn't care about his job I just wanted to know what was going on with my husband. Everyone seems to know what's going on with my husband except me and I have had enough. " No, we will not discuss this at home! I know you are a cheater there is no reason for you to come back!"" Amanda I am no leaving you and Ryan alone! Just go! Go home!" He yelled. His emotions were changing fast like his disorder was getting worse. I ran out. I drove around for a couple of hours. Ryan was home with the babysitter so I needed to get back home.
When I opened the door, Ryan came running towards me." Mommy!" She yelled. Her coming to me always put me in a better mood it was like we were connected because she felt my forehead and I said I was tired. "Mommy you should go sleep."
"No sweetie, I can't sleep just yet im starving and I know you are too!" I said tickling her tummy. Tonight I was in no mood to cook so I just quickly made hotdogs. "Come on Ryan, you need to get in the tub now before it gets too late and you'll be really cold." I said. She always ends up cold when she gets out but I used it as an excuse to get her to hurry in so I can help her bathe. Sometimes I'd sit in there with her so she won't give me " How come I'm the only one who has to bathe" look. Ryan is my heart. No matter what I will always look out for her.We sat in the tub so I could wash her hair. " Mommy, where's daddy?" She asked. I sighed " He'll be working late tonight."
" Does daddy have to work late all the time?"
"Let's hope not sweetie." I smiled.I only smiled because I felt like I needed to smile for her. She meant the world to me and that's all I wanted to give her. We were in there for a good hour and I was so spaced out. "Can we get out now?" She said. I laughed "yes let's go dry ourselves off."
When we dried ourselves off I got her in her pajamas and we laid down in the bed together. She fell asleep and no time, so did I.Crash! I woke up. What was that? I looked over at the time, it was 2:47 a.m. I could hear someone downstairs. Someone whispering? I grew panic. Ryan had woken up. "Mommy what's that?" She whispered. I shushed her and picked her up as we got out of bed. I need to hide Ryan before someone comes in here. Someone is in the house and I don't want anything to harm her. I opened the closet. "Mommy?" She said. " Whatever you see, whatever you hear, do not scream."
I shut the closet door, I think.I went to go and shut the door so I can call 911 but they busted through the door. "Get out! Get out!" He grabbed at me. " Get over here!" He grabbed my arm. I recognize that voice anymore. It was Ryder, my own brother. My brother! He pulled out a large knife. "No please don't, I won't tell anyone I won't say anything!"
It was too late. "Shut up just shut up!" He yelled. He cut me. He broke my skin and I bled. He was slicing me up. Slit slit slit! He slit at my chest and stomach. He was cutting off all my limbs as if I was nothing. I never saw so much blood. My white fluffy carpet was turning red. He was cutting so deep and fast my blood was spewing, even on the walls. I knew I was gone. I was done for. He at last had cut my throat. And that was the end of me. I gasped for last few breaths as my brother had flee. I was dying, and the last face I saw was Ryan climbing over on me. I wish she did not have to see me like this. I'm sorry Ryan. I'm dead.
