Chapter 4

~Scotts pov~

Mitch was opening the door to his room and I was opening the door to my room when there was a loud scream, "DADDY!" Mitch and I gave each other worried looks and raced down stairs to her room. We rushed into Ryan's room she was sitting up sobbing. "Mommy you killed daddy!" Ryan sobbed. Mitch comforted her until she fell asleep. He went back to bed but I stood leaning against her door frame for 5 more minutes and I finally went back to my room.

~Mitches pov~

I woke up to the sound smell of bacon. I walked downstairs into the kitchen. Ryan was still asleep so I dad to be quiet. "Sup Mitchie." Scott laughed. I motioned for him to be quiet and he mouthed the word sorry. "I am making waffles and bacon." Scott whispered. I heard quiet thumping on Ryan's door. "Oh yeah, I forgot to unlock it when I got up." Scott said. We always lock our doors at night so nothing happens, people are crazy. I opened the door for Ryan as she tumbled out. I helped her up and showed her to the meal room. She sat down and I realized the table was to tall for her so I grabbed a few pillows and put them under her. While we were eating breakfast there was an awkward silence until Scott said,"I am sorry to bring this up, but what happened last night?" "Do you want the story behind it of do you want to know what happened in the dream." She said softly. "The story behind it." "When I was four I heard a loud bang. I ran to my parents room to find my mom standing over my dad with a gun in her hand. She said she was sorry but sh-she had to do it. She claimed out the window and left me there with no one. She is still out there, that is why I don't like to leave or go outside." Ryan tried to blink a tear away. Tears started rolling down her face. Scott went over to hug her and tell her everything us ok.
