My Brothers

Chapter 13

Christina nervously played with the end of her shirt while she was sitting on the couch waiting for Jerry to arrive. Christina looked up as she heard the door open and close as Jerry came into the living room, pulling off his gloves.

He looked up noticing that everyone was looking at him. "What?" He asked looking between Angel and Christina, who looked down.

"You know what you did." Angel said, his voice dripping with disappointment. He grabbed the envelope and threw it at Jeremiah. Jerry's eyes widen with shock than in anger, stomping his foot on to the floor.

"No! You don't know where you fucking went!" He yelled almost pleading and in disbelief. " "No, Jerry, you don't know where you went getting mixed up with gangsters." Angel told him angrily.

Jeremiah covered his face before looking at the three of them. "

Where's Bobby? He suddenly said in concern. Just as he was about to turn, a fist connected in his face, knocking him to the floor. Christina jumped slightly and closes her eyes. She knew what Jerry did was wrong, but he was still her brother, she didn't want him getting hurt.

"What are you hiding, Jerry? If I found out you had something to do with what happened to mom, I swear to God, I'm gonna kill you right here and now!" Bobby yelled angrily as he leaned over Jerry. "Bobby calm -" Christina started to say. "Stay out of this Christina!" Bobby yelled not taking his eyes off Jerry, missing the hurt flash in her eyes.

Christina snapped her mouth shut and sat back as she watch her brother, aside Jack, yelling at Jerry about how he messed up and how stupid he is.

Until Jeremiah got sick of it and punched each of them to get them away long enough for him to stand up and talk.

"I paid all of mom's bills!" Jeremiah yelled, glaring at them with hatred. "How many years did I have to take care of her and Tina by myself while all of y'all were doing nothing? And now you're gonna tell me I killed her!" Jerry shook his head angry "Come on man!" He yelled throwing his hands up and turning away.

"Well, you paid Victor Sweet!" Bobby yelled, getting back to the envelope.

"No I didn't! That's how they shut me down!" Jeremiah yelled back turning around, getting angrier by the minute.

"Wait!" Jack jerked forward from his position on the couch. "I thought the city cut you off, Jerry?"

"Douglas?" Jeremiah asked as though Jack were stupid. "This is Detroit. Sweet owns Douglas." Jerry said slapping his hand against his fist.

Christina excused herself as she heard knocking at the door. She opened the door to see a man walking away.

"Your mother was a whore!" The guy yelled, his voice muffled, flipping her off.

"Fuck you man!" Christina yelled at him. As she was going to turn to go inside a snowball hit her in the face.

"I'ma gonna kick your fuckin ass bitch!" Christina yelled as she walked down the steps making a snowball as she went. As she was about to throw it the man turned around, wearing a hockey mask, pointing a gun at her heart.

Christina stopped terrified then threw the snowball as hard as she can, hitting him in the face just as the gunshot went off.

Christina screamed as the bullet went into her shoulder. She gasped and fell to the floor holding her shoulder. "Oh fuck!" Christina gasped closing her eyes tight while holding her shoulder. She has never been in so much pain in her life.

"Christina!" Bobby's voice rang out from behind them, but she took no notice.

Christina closed her eyes tighter as she heard another gunshot go off. She heard a body hit the floor, she opened her eyes to see the guy in the mask drop to the ground.
