She nods. "yes, Tony, I do. How can I like you after what you did to me?"
He sneers. "and then you told the fucking police. So really, I have more reason to hate you." he shrugs.
"just put the gun down, mate." Says Tom.
Tony shakes his head. "I wont shoot. I wont, if you call the police and tell them that you are ok."
I watch dad nod and walk over to the phone.
His hands shake as he picks up the phone and I look back to Tony, a smirk across his face. "you have to admit, we had fun, didn't we?" he sneers at Katy.
"no. We didn't. I think you're sick in the fucking head."
He quickly moves the gun closer to her. "I'd watch what you say, darling."
Out of the window, I see Sara and two policemen approaching. Both of them are armed with guns. Don't knock on the door. Don't knock on the door. I pray silently. Tony can't know. He can't know that they're here. Not when there is a trigger between Katy's life either being safe or in jeopardy.
I watch Tony, his gun hand shaking, directed at katy's chest. I can see in the reflection of the window that Tom is staring at Tony, his eyes teary.
Silence falls for a while and I listen to dad punch in the first number on the phone.
"please." Comes Tom's voice, almost in a beg. "Please..." he says, letting go of Katy's hand. "If you are going to shoot anyone, shoot me."
Tony shakes his head. "never know, if you're brain dead dad ever rings the fucking police and tells them that there is anything to worry about, I wont have to shoot anyone. But if I do shoot someone, it's her."
Tom quickly turns and walks over to dad, taking the phone off of him. "I have to. I have to ring them. I cant have her hurt." He says, but I am distracted by the arm of a police officer showing through the window.
Why haven't they come in yet?
My glare goes back to Tony. He is frowning, his eyes wide with anger; maybe fear. Katy is stood completely still, staring at him. She seems fearless, but I know she isn't. She cant be.
All of a sudden, I feel myself jump. Then, I hear a bang and realise why. I lean sideways to look into the hall and see that the door has been broken down. A police officer runs into the hall, his gun held up in his arms.
"everyone, put you're hands on you're head. Young man, put your gun down." He says, edging into the lounge.
"You lied to me! You lied. You said they weren't coming!" screams Tony.
I close my eyes.
Another bang sounds. But it isn't the same as the last.
It is the sound of a trigger being pulled.
The sound of a gun firing.
The sound of a life ending.
The sound of a body hitting the floor.
The sounds of screams.
The sounds of crying.
But I cant bare to open my eyes.
