Chapter 52: Snippet

Micah Grayson

As Cassie and Maddox slept in the master bedroom Micah was in the restroom having a mental breakdown. The voices he'd done so well at over powering were screaming inside of his head. The intensity was keeping him from sleeping as he pulled the risperdal prescription from the medicine cabinet.

His vision was becoming blurry as he frantically tried to open the pill bottle. His body was shaking so bad that when he did get the bottle open the pills fell out onto the floor.

Sliding down to the floor he began to slam his fist into his head repeatedly in hopes of ceasing the voices. This voice in particular wanted Micah to harm his wife and child.

They're making you crazy. You have to let them go Micah its the only way to keep you safe.

"Shut up!" Micah screamed.

Hearing shuffle of feet come to the bathroom door Micah bit down hard on his lip. He didn't want Cassie to see him like this.

"Babe are you okay?" Cassie said trying to twist the locked door handle. "Open the door Micah." She pleaded scared of what he could possibly be doing.

"I'm fine. Go back to bed." Micah managed to say through gritted teeth as he kept his eyes closed tightly resisting the urge to open the door for her while the voices were trying to take over.

"Let me help you." Cassie said on the verge of tears as she assumed the worse.

After his suicide attempt Cassie always feared he'd try it again.

"Go to fucking bed Cassie. I said I was fine."

Listening to her sniffling Micah could feel his heart swelling up. If only she knew he was just trying to protect her and his son.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled once she was finally away from the door.

Crawling to the tub he grabbed Cassie's razor.

They only way to stop the voices was to inflict pain on himself.

The babies crying now Micah. You hate the sound of crying. It reminds you of Melody's cries that made your parents forget you existed. You have to stop him from crying for good. He's taking Cassie away from you.

Shaking his head no as he tried not to believe what the voice was saying Micah attempted to drag the Razor deep across the skin of his arm causing bright red blood to drip down and hit the marble tiled floor. He kept cutting his forearm until he'd peeled off all the skin causing it to burn intensely.

Shaking from the pain he held his arm to his chest before standing up. Although pain was intense it wasn't enough to block his mind from the voices as they seemed to only get louder.

Still beating his head Micah used a towel to wrap around his bloody arm.

Maddox was still screaming and hollering which only triggered Micah more.

"Shut him up Cassandra!" Micah hollered.

"I'm trying." Cassie yelled back in her failing attempt to cease Maddox's cries.

You shut him up. Shut him up for good.

Opening the bathroom door Micah was now enraged. Storming into the room he walked toward Cassie who looked up at him in fear of how dark his eyes were. They were possessed. 

As she tried to shield her baby from her husband Cassie cried feeling Maddox's little body being snatched forcefully from her arms.

"Micah stop! Give him to me baby let me have him." Cassie pleaded as Micah held Maddox up by his little neck walking out the room toward the balcony.

"You love him more than me?" Micah asked opening the balcony door as Cassie rushed behind him holding a firm grip on his arm trying to get her child

Quickly shaking her head no Cassie continued to sob.

"No Micah please let him go he's just a baby. He's our baby."

"You want me to let him go?" Micah questioned now holding Maddox by his legs as Maddox screamed for Cassie.

Before Cassie could lunge quick enough Micah let Maddox's leg go dropping him from the balcony as Cassie was about to jump off the railing to grab him.

Grabbing Cassie by her arms Micah held her as she broke down watching her baby fall to the ground.

"No. no no no no no!' Cassie repeated over and over as she tried to get loose.

Turning in Micah's arms she looked at his eyes that were still dark taking his hand she brought it to her neck.

"I hate you. I fucking hate you. I will never love you. You will never be loved because you're a sick monster. I hope you rot in hell you sick twisted fuck." Cassie said as she looked deep into his eyes feeling his hand forced a tighter grip around her neck.

"You don't mean that." Micah said watching as the life drained from her body.

Opening his eyes Micah shot up in the bed. Sweat piled up on his head as the dream felt so real real. Looking to the spot in the bed next to him he saw Cassie sleeping peacefully beside him. Not seeing Maddox, Micah panicked getting out the bed and rushing down stairs.

Forcefully opening the room door to the nursery Micah took a sigh of relief as he saw Maddox standing up in his crib holding on to the railing. 

The sight of his father's face brought the biggest smile to Maddox's face he reached for Micah who stood at the nursery door with tears in his eye.

"Da." Maddox called out holding his arms up for Micah to get him.

Hesitantly Micah walked over to the crib grabbing the nine month old baby before sitting down with him in the middle of the nursery floor.

As Maddox crawled around playing on the floor Micah watched him. The vividness of his dream scared him. He'd never imagined doing anything like that to his child or his wife.

The fact that it was now in his head Micah knew he needed to do something to keep his dreams from becoming his reality.
