The Big Fight

I slowly stood up backing away from the table as Matthew stood up. Jeffery grabbed me by my hair and threw me aside this pissed him off even more. He grabbed Jeffery by his neck and slammed him into the table causing the glasses to shatter and spray the floor. He stepped back from Jeffery to let him get up. "Alex run!" He yelled. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to know that Matthew was okay. Jeffery got up and took a right swing missing Matthew by inches. He was drunk fighting wasn't going to go his way. Matthew took a swing at him and all you could hear was a sickening pop from his jaw. The woman he was with screamed "MY BABY!!!". I didn't compute it at first until my head cleared. At this point Matthew had Jeffery in a choke hold. Something in the snapped a voice hissed in my ear " Do it. You'll feel better". Grabbing a knife from the table I quickly stabbed Jeffery in the side. This blow wasn't a killing one. "Kill him" It hissed. I looked at the stab wound in horror. Matthew looked at me in horror. "Y-Y-You stabbed him" Slowly Matthew let Jeffery go and he fell to the floor. I don't know what happened to Matthew after that. Jeffery stood up and I'm only assuming stabbed me back as we were both admitted into a hospital for stab wounds. We were sent into marriage counseling but nothing ever changed.
