"Stop Ma put the damn gun down NOW!!!! ",says the scared big buff 16 year old. He thinks in his head what is going on. She was always abusive but why would she take it this far. He thinks I have to get that gun out of her hand." No get the fuck out the way or I'm going to kill you!!!!",his abusive mom says. His dad is behind him hyperventilating with the knife in his hands. The boy lunges at his mom to try to take the gun from her. She automatically pulls the trigger. It seemed liked everything stopped. The last image the boy sees is his dad knocking his mom out. Let me tell you my story.

John's POV
My cousin is supposed to be coming to visit me . I was talking to my friend on the phone. When suddenly I wasn't breathing. I was gagging for air. My mom her name is Staci is very abusive she stabbed my dad now he's in the hospital. I live in an upper class home. My mom had me from behind telling me to get the fuck ready. And if I misbehave she's going to kill me. This is going to be a long summer.
Johnny's POV
I'm going to visit my cousin in New York. I'm completely different from him he's rich. I'm mediocre. He has a father. My parents are divorced. He lives in a mansion me a trailer. So you get the point right. I'm waiting for them now. Here they are now. Wow he's slim and muscular. I'm short and muscular. So I'm in the car he seems so boring. Or just shy time can only tell. I break the ice by asking him about football. That seemed to do the trick. He was wide-eyed and very excited.
Staci's POV
I don't know what's wrong with me. Why am I like this. I'm on my way back from picking up my nephew. John is having so much fun with Johnny. I never saw him so happy. It makes me so happy. It's kind of a bittersweet feeling. My nephew is too good for him. My son is a bitch. I don't know what to feel now. I think I need to see a doctor.
John's POV
My cousin and I automatically connected. When we got home we went walking. I felt like we were brothers. I told him our family secret: My sister died.
Johnny's POV
WOW!!!!!!!!!! His sister died. I didn't even know he had a sister. I felt like I owed him something . "Oh man I'm sorry." Come here I said pulling him in for a hug. He started weeping right here on my shoulder in public. I feel like a jerk. This whole time I thought he had a great life. "John I'm sorry I didn't know you had a sister."John you know I was.....Boys come in" I was interrupted by my aunt called us inside. I was going to confess my secret but I was interrupted.
