Touch Me

Gun

I scream and run back downstairs and grab the gun under the table. Adam is in the house, he escaped and is not back to hurt me and Teddy. I quickly grab the gun and shield Teddy from Adam. I hear him coming down stairs and he walks down slowly. Step by step, he is now looking at me with his big eyes that I fell in love with months ago.

"Hello Sam, Teddy" he looks at Teddy and I point the pistol at him ready to shoot

"Sam put that down I'm not going to hurt you" he comes closer

"How did you escape and what are you doing here?" I say looking at Teddy then at him

" Don't worry about that Sam, I just wanted to see my two favorite people in the world!"

I have my phone behind and back and I glance every now and then to dial 911. I press call and I don't say help or scream or do anything. I just listen to Adam and let the operator hear everything.

"Sam you did this, all of this. You made me mad you made me the psychopath I am. The truth is I went crazy when I was a kid and I hurt my parents, I got expelled from multiple schools and the people that are my parents now  are people I don't know at all, they adopted me thinking they can cure me but really I'm still crazy. So Sam. Come with me, come join me and we can do whatever you want. Leave this place, leave your mom, and brother."

"The day you came into my life Adam I knew I was doing something wrong but I was too stupid enough to know because I loved you too much. The day I gave you my heart I knew right then and there you would use me and break me. When I gave the police my address to my house after you went crazy I was terrified. 43802 west street" I say it out loud so the operator hears it and send the police

"Shut up Sam! We're leaving" he lunged towards me and grabs the gun and faces it up to the roof

I fire and the ceiling cracks, Adam throws me to the ground and he fights me. I slap, scratch, and kick but it's no good. He eventually gets me off the ground and he has the gun and my hands around my back.

"The door" Adam says while pushing me outside to the front

"Teddy stay here! I love you buddy I love you so much! Tell mom I love her too okay can you do that for me?"

"Sam! No don't go!" He tries to sit up but he's crying so much he can't move

"No stay there okay!"

"I love you Teddy" I say before Adam pushes me out the door and into the yard

"You sick, twisted bastard"

"Shut up you whore"

Then out of the blue bright lights are in my face and police have guns ready.

"Put your hands up!" A cop shouts

Adam grabs the gun and pushes it against my head

"I'll shoot! I'm not afraid to shoot this whore of a girl here!"

I wait. This is it. Adam is going to pull the trigger, I know he will. I know Adam. I think about mom, Teddy, dad, school, everything.

Then before I know it I throw my head back and hit Adam in the face and he lets go of me. A cop fires and hits Adam, in on the floor breathing heavily and waiting. A cop comes and lifts me off of the ground and shield me from Adam.

"Is he dead?" I say into the cops chest

"No he's fine"

I look over and see Adam getting rolled over. Adam was hit in the should and was  taken to the nearest hospital then when he recovered he was back in jail.

Mom came back the next day and I explained everything to her. I explained the accident with Teddy and I, the cops, Adam, school. I still think about Adam every day, the way he kissed me and looked into my eyes and his gentle hands on my body. I miss him. I miss the old him.

"Is everything okay honey?" Mom says while stepping outside in the cold while I look at the spot where Adam was shot.

"Yeah... everything fine" I say relieved
