What would you do?

You're next

Chapter 16
"What is going on?" I say as I try to push Brad out of the way to get into my house. He grabs me by the arms and looks at me "You need to be strong okay? What you are about to see is gonna be hard but you need to be strong." At this point I was sobbing because I just wanted to know what was going on. He stepped out of the and I walk into my house, what I saw I couldn't believe. It was my mom and brother lying on the floor with a pile of blood by their heads, next to them in blood was written you're next. I screamed and fell to the floor. I grab onto her and my brothers hand "please please please don't die. No, No, NO. this can't happen, why does this happen. This can't be happening, who did this? WHY?!" I turned toward Brad and stand up. He grabs my hand "I've called 911 they are coming, I'm sorry Amanda I tried to stop the bleeding but...they were already dead, but we need to get out of this house, they could come back and kill us" he said with urgency in his voice. I collapsed on the floor again crying. Brad sat down with me he was also crying, he held me in his arms "I'm not leaving them, let whoever did this kill me. I don't care anymore." I hear sirens outside then a bang on the door, Brad stands up and walks over, it must be the paramedics. They all walk in with there equipment, I walk out the house, I have no idea where I am walking but I just walk. I hear footsteps behind me but I keep going, this can't be happening. I should have stayed home with my family tonight, then they could have just killed me. Well now it's too late and there is nothing I can do, first my dad now my mom then my brother, then it's gonna be me. I start to cry again, I sit down on the curb and just cry because nothing is okay. Nothing is ever gonna be okay, life is shitty and good people have bad things happen. I feel someone sit next to me, I hear small sniffs. I look over to see Brad sitting there. He tried to give me a reassuring smile but I could tell it was fake.
*Brad's POV*
I sit down next to Amanda, she looks over at me, I try to smile for her. To tell her everything was going to be okay... but I couldn't because we both knew that wasn't true. So I just sat there as my beautiful Amanda cried. "Hold me in your arms." she said to me. It was a simple request, only for me to wrap my arms around her small frame as she shook involuntary out of sadness. "Hold me in your arms and never let go." she said to me. It was not a command, it was more of a desperate string of words almost as if she were begging me. I did as I was told. Slowly I weave my arms around her small waist as she trembled from crying so much. "Shh..." I say to her as I glide my hand up from her back to the nape of her neck pushing her head against my chest. I feel her body relax into mine as she start to cry again, a silent cry. as if she was trying to be strong for everyone but the weight of the world was too much for her so she just sat there in my arms crying silently. I hated to see her like this, so broken, always being pushed around. I can see in her eyes, all the years she spent that were full of lies. I can see it in her eyes and how she attempted to cover them with futile tries. She tries to cover the truth with a smile. She pushes away from me and I watch her as she wipes tears from her beautiful face. The moonlight caught on her face for a moment highlighting her high cheekbones and those gorgeous soft lips. She gets up and starts to walk away. "Where are you going?" I ask her. I grab her arm and pull her close to me. I wrap my arms in fear that if I leave her that she will get killed or kidnapped and I couldn't live with myself if that happens. I run my hand down her arm, clutching on to her hand then pulling back and look at her face "where are you going Amanda you can't just leave." She mumbles something that I couldn't understand. I cup her cheek in my hand "What did you say baby? I didn't understand you?" She looks as me as if debating whether to tell me or not.
*Amanda's pov*
I get up and start to walk away from Brad, he gets up and grabs me pulling me back into him. "Where are you going Amanda you can't just leave?" he says with fear in his voice. I say something quietly so he wouldn't hear. "what did you say baby? I didn't understand you?" he says as he cups my cheek. I think should I tell should I not? "Why does it matter I'm just gonna die anyway, you shouldn't worry Brad." I finally say. He face drops, I can see the sadness in his eyes as tears start to brim his eyes. "But I wanna have as long as I can get with you. I love you baby, I'm not letting go of you." he says. I look up at him, sincerity lies in his eyes. I step closer to him as he pushes a strand of hair out of my face. I wrap my arms back around him this time, then his lips crashed into mine. he kissed me like the world was going to end and this was our goodbye. I push it further, opening my mouth and letting his tongue find mine. Not caring that people were probably watching us and that the stubble on his chin was scratching my face. In this moment all my worries and cares were replaced with desire. His lips move to the area below my ear and down my neck as I lace my hand through his soft hair. Electricity generated though our bodies when we touched something I just can't describe. I finally pulled away breathless, "let's get out of here." I say.
