Tough Love

The shot

As I am rocking Anna and my mother is sitting in her hospital bed in fear. I was only able to think about Rachel, like if I was ever going to see her again, if I'm ever going to be able to tell her how I feel about her. As I am thinking about her beautiful smile, a large man dressed in black bursts the door open. I take a look at him in fear trying not to make eye contact, when he was holding a hand gun. He approached my mothers bed and pulled the curtains down and I could see she had no idea he had a gun. They started a conversation as I am shaking in fear. I see him bring up the gun, I look at his finger and relize he is playing my mom. He lifted the gun and pointed it at her, I was about to get up to save her but I get caught in a pile of metal poles I was sitting on, as I am trying to untangle myself the trigger goes off! Asmall pool of blood seeps through the crack of the door. I held Anna closely as my tears are falling on her soft baby skin. I scream forcefully completely forgetting about the man in the room. He slams the door open and points the gun at my head. I grab a sharp pole beside me and jab it in his abdomen before he pulles the trigger. I hold Anna tightly and tried to run out of the room when I see my mom on the bed lying there lifeless , I said my last goodbyes and ran down the two flights of stairs and out the large metal doors. Once I got out to the yellow brown coloured gras , I see Rachel run up to me in fear I was so relived to see her yet very sad I lost my mother in front of me. I go to hug her when he leaned in for a kiss. I was dancing with joy on the inside but I played it cool. I explained to her what happened and she was in tears and asked to hold Anna so I handed her gently over to Rachel. We both went over to my house to collect my things to bring them to her apartment she said I could stay with her.
