I dropped to my knees immediately. Blood spilled all over his face but his eyes were still open. They looked at me.
....
There was a wake later that night, Ametri was held by a few guards. My father looked at me, then looked back at the crowd. Our kids, my family, his family, the guards, the maids, and many others.
....
"H-he was a great man...He was amazing actually. He served well as a husband to my son and he'll be greatly missed. He was a great father. A great friend. A great person to be around. In times he said to me: your son gets attacked by these people. Not just verbally: physically. Then I take matters into my own hands and...I just do what's right." Dad spoke.

He paused to wipe his eyes a bit.

I looked at Ametri. She only looked straight ahead of her. She looked from the corner of her eye and the corner of her mouth went down.
**********************************************************************************
I sighed.
"H-he was amazing...I loved him like hell. H-he would always smile whenever I needed it. Even when I was pissed off at him. But as time grew: we had our kids. I-I am very sorry that this happened. I apologize to his family, to the townspeople, to my children, to everyone!" I cried.
....
....
I laid in bed. Someone walked inside my room.
"I don't care who it is...just go away!" I yelled. It was mom. Her eyes were red. "Y-your kids miss you baby....wanna go see them..?" She asked. I shook my head slowly.

She had left me alone all night. **********************************************************************************
"Ame...?" I asked in a whisper. She stared dead into my soul. She has chains upon chains tying her down to the floor. But she was still on her knees.

"Bro-" she started. "Ame, why'd you do it..? They say I'm diagnosed with depression. I-I don't know if I am but I feel like it. I loved that man...I really loved him." I spoke in a quiver.

"JJ...I'm sorry." She apologized. "Don't start ametri. I'm done with your bullshit. I'm done!" I yelled.

She looked at me like I just murdered someone in front of her.
**********************************************************************************
"I'm sorry...." she whispered.

"Are you sorry for killing my husband!? Are you sorry for possibly killing Mavis!? Are YOU sorry for maxwells' family because they lost a member! I lost my love! My kids lost their father! I-I don't know what to do without him! I-I don't know what to do now! I fucking hate you now Ametri! Burn in hell for all I care!" I yelled.

She shuttered.

"Don't even start crying!" I yelled at her.
**********************************************************************************
I went to bed afterwards.

We didn't have our nightly talk,

We didn't have a kiss goodnight or neck kisses he gives me,

Or the hugs.


Or anything.
At all.
