Guns For Hands

Screams

***TYLER.P.O.V***

I stomped down the steps and into the kitchen. Jenna got up off the couch and followed me. When she walked in the door way I was at the counter with my head in my hands, I wasn't crying I was screaming. Internally of course.

"What's wrong?" She asked, trying to make eye contact with me.

I just sighed and walked out the back door. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get there fast. Before I knew it, I was running, I was running as fast as I could into the woods behind our house. After a about two or three minutes even though they felt like hours, I reached my old tree house.

"And for some reason I smell gas on my hands." I whispered looking at the burnt half of the house, flashing back to when we were young.

***flash back***

"Ty! Where are you going?" Maddie yelled and laughed as she chased me through the woods.

"Follow meeeeeeee!" I sang as I ran up to my new tree house, Zack was already in there.

"Woah." Maddie said when she saw it.

"Come on!" I giggled and climbed up the ladder.

"Wow..." she looked around.

"Yep." Zack was still admiring it himself. As a twelve year old boy, I thought that it was pretty cool to have a house of my own, even if it was in a tree.

"Come on guys, let's sit down." I said motioning them to the floor. Once we all sat down Zack spoke up,

"So what do we do when this new baby comes?"

"I don't know... we could run away?" Maddie suggested.

"Nah, too drastic." I glanced at her.

"We could make him live with grandma?" Zack suggested.

"We make grandma handle all of our problems though, this is different." Maddie sighed.

Suddenly a rock came through the window and hit Maddie in the head.

"Ow!"

"Hey!" I looked out the window. I saw some bully's from my school. "Oh no." I ran over to Maddie and Zack. "We need to go. Now!" I ushered them out.

We all ran down the ladder and started running but one of the guys grabbed my hood.

"Hey!" I yelled. Zack turned around to help me. "No! Keep running!" He nodded and turned around, he was older then me by a few years but what was he going to do anyway?
They drug me back up to my tree house and started pouring some liquid on one side of it. I heard thunder rumble in the distance. One of them pulled out matches then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and every thing went dark.

I woke up, I felt really hot and my head was hurting. I gasped, putting my hands over my mouth. I looked up and saw my tree house on fire, and for some reason I smelt gas in my hands. I ran down the ladder, through the rain, and to my house. Mom called the fire department and I sat in my room... rocking back and forth... trying to stay calm... by that was the one places he couldn't get me... Blurryface couldn't get to me there...

*****end flash back*****

"Tyler!" I heard Jenna yell. I was curled up in the corner where I had gotten knocked out in my tree house. I couldn't move, but I was screaming. Have you ever done that? Just been paralyzed by fear and all you can do is scream?

"Tyler!" I heard her and someone else start climbing up the ladder, I guess Josh was with her...I saw Jenna come up the ladder first, then I saw Zack. Why did Zack come? I was pulling at my hair and still screaming.
