My body felt numb. The world felt as though it was in slow motion. I laid on the kitchen floor battered and bruised. I focused on a spot on the ceiling as I felt my body being jolted by him tearing my clothes with a hunting knife he pulled out from his back pocket. My vision began blurring from unshed tears mixed with blood from the open cut on my head from his knife. Not wanting the image of what was about to happen to me I slowly closed my eyes hoping it would be quick and my death was swift. I saw Shaye once my eyes closed. I saw the pain in her eyes, taking a hold of my hand. A tear slipped down her cheek as she whispered in my ear.
"He's nearly here my babysis. Hold on a little bit longer."
I felt a sense of calm wash over me just as I felt his weight move on top of me.
God lay your hands on me in my time of need, I pray.
"RIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
"SON!"
Nathaniel and Jays tortured bellows sounded faint in my ears.I must be hallucinating.
I felt his weight move off me in a hurry. Opening my eyes it took me a moment to register what was happening.
The boys were actually here. Nathaniel crashed tackled the intruder into the fridge. The raw sound that came out of Nathaniel was one of complete rage. I had never seen Nathaniel snap. He pounded into the intruder over and over again. The intruder managed to slip out of Nathaniels grip moving out of his range.
"Shaye was mine and you killed her"
Nathaniel took a menacing step towards him when he pulled out a gun, pointing it at Nathaniel making him pause. The intruder was frantic.
"I had Shaye first! She was mine and you took her from me!"
Nathaniel- "Choose your words carefully bud cause last I checked, Shaye was my wife and mine alone."
"She was gna come back to me. But you came into the picture"
The guys mind had finally snapped. His delusion that Shaye would've wanted him back had made him crazy.
Jay- "if that were true you would be with her now. Guess you really don't like being the sore loser."
Jay stood in the kitchen doorway. His eyes fastened on the guy whose gun was now pointed at Jays chest. Why was he trying to stir the guy up even more. Jay smiled coldly. His next words taunting the guy even more as he slowly moved to stand near him. Keeping the gun away from Nathaniel.
Jay- "What's wrong? No other girl will have you so you try and live your high school days with Shaye? She chose better dox, what part of that don't you understand?"
Why was he provoking him! I realized now jay was trying to keep the gun trained at him and away from Nathaniel. The intruder was looking more and more angry.
"Shut up! Just shut your mouth!"
Jay- "Baha truth hurts don't it..."
Jay without losing eye contact with the guy spoke to Nathaniel.
Jay- "Uce go with Dommie and take Noah to the hospital to get checked."
Nathaniel took a step back slowly but the intruder swung his gun towards Nathaniel forcing him not to take another step and then pointing the gun back at Jay.
Jay- "Uce I said go!"
Nathaniel- "This isn't your fight uce. He's here for me."
Jay- "It became my fight the moment he laid his hands on Ria. Go!"
Nathaniel looked the intruder straight in the eye with defiance, challenging him to pull the trigger. Nathaniel turned and started walking out not stopping even when the intruder called for him too.
"I said stop!"
He took the safety off the gun, aiming at Nathaniel's retreating back. His finger on the trigger to pull. At that very moment Jay dove in front of Nathaniel pulling his gun out of his belt aiming it at the intruder....A gun went off..
*BANG!!*
