The Killer

Chapter 5

            
                When Jackson woke up he saw his arm and the knife. " Jackson, get up!" His father demanded. Jackson was half way asleep. When his dad took a glance at his arm he turned it over. "DAMN! Jackson you son of a bitch! I've raised a boy who cuts himself? Damn you!" He smacked him. Jackson's father left a huge red spot on his cheek and Jackson was so done. Jackson got up out of his bed and was so pissed. He jumped up on his step dad and pinned him down on the floor (Jackson's real father passed away when he was 16 months and two years later his mom married that dumb man). Jackson grabbed the knife and was about to stab him. He hesitated and realized his mom loves him. She thinks he is this sweet, innocent man but Jackson could see through him. Jackson put the knife down but grabbed his "father" and threw him out of his room. Joe, the step-father, slid half way down the stairs. He passed out on the stairs and suddenly stopped sliding. Jackson immediately slammed his door shut and locked it. He grabbed an old bag and put his phone, charger, earbuds, skateboard, a pen, paper, clothes, and  his Adidas SnapBack. Jackson looked under his door to see what Joe was doing. He was still unconscious. Jackson snuck down the stairs to grab $78 from the safe. He also grabbed a few cans of Pibb Xtra and shoved it in his bag. He snuck back up and locked his door. He snuck jumped out of the window onto the tree and hopped from branch to branch. To pass time he hid in a bush until it was 6:00. His mom came home at that time and made supper and watched Hawaii 5-0. When Jackson was bidding he wrote a letter to his mom:

     Hey mom,
                   When you left for work Joe came in my room and saw my arm. He smacked the hell out of me and I was so done with him in my life. I got up and almost killed him with the knife. But I didn't because I know how much you love him. I ran away with my phone and food and $78 from the safe. I won't starve. I ran away out my window. I will text you everyday where I'm at but don't come find me. PLEASE! I'm okay and will come home when I decide too. I'll be okay.
                                            I love you,
                                 Jackson❤️❤️❤️
