i'm met with the sight of my wife laying on the floor with pool of blood surrounding her. i immediately start panicking.

i run to her body and quickly check her pulse. "no no, wake up" i say before shaking her and pulling out my phone.

i immediately call 911 and everything from there was a blur. it got harder to breathe and i felt her body grow colder as i sobbed.

when police and medics arrived, they immediately put her on the stretcher and the police tried to asks me questions about what happened but i can't seem to answer them.

"how about you two get to the hospital and settled in and we'll come by to talk?" he asks me

i nod.

we leave out the house and i get into the back of the ambulance with her. i call kourtney and tell her what's going on before calling sierra.

"i'm on the way" she immediately say

-

i'm waiting in the waiting room with people look at me strangely due to the blood on my clothes. my legs are shaking with nerves.

sierra has been here for a hour beside me. i hear the door open and a nurse walks out walks towards us.

"mrs.o'connell?"

"is she alive?" i immediately ask

"she's stable. she lost a lot of blood, it almost went really bad. you found her at the right time. she may be in and out of it for the next few hours" she say

"can i see her?" i ask

"of course, follow me" she say

"sierra come on" i say

"not her" the nurse say

"other than my wife she's the only person who can keep me sane. unless you want to hear me screaming around this hospital i advise you let her in with me" i say

"it's policy ma'am. not until she's well enough, only her spouse and family"

"sierra is family" i cross my arms

the nurse lets out a sigh before saying "fine"

sierra and i follow behind the nurse, into an elevator. we soon arrive to a room after walking long ass halls.

my wife is laying there in the hospital bed sleep. i pull the chair close to the bed and grab her hand.

"i love you, i'm here baby" i say

hours later, maggie and patrick is here and sierra left to be with the kids. the sound of a knock on the door scares me before it opens.

three police officers step inside and their eyes meet mine. "mrs. o'connell, a word" one say

i stand up and leave out the room and they all basically corner me. "we know it may be hard, but can you tell us what happened?" he asks "the other victim is alive"

she survived that?!?

"are you sure she's alive?" i ask

"ellie, yes" he nods

i have to finish the job.

"my wife went missing and someone texted me off her phone, i knew it wasn't her due to some of the things being said. i had a feeling it was ellie, ellie have been weird towards us for awhile. turns out she had been stalking me. i found her house and i walked in and she told me she killed billie. we fought and she tried to kill me so i shot her" i say
