thieving

WARNING THERE WILL BE SUICIDE THOUGHTS AND TENDENCIES AND SELF HARM IN THIS CHAPTER. 

while jake was sleeping soundly, his mother sleeping, and grandmother resting, a strange figure appeared at the window. its unlocked. he crept inside to see the sleeping lump under a blanket start to rustle, then sit up. it was grandma. she sat up and stared at the intruder, "jake? is that you?" as she said the words the knife to her throat was enough to answer her question. a quick slice was enough to end it all, once the second person slunk in the window, they started arguing, "what did you do!" "we were only here to take their pills! now you've murdered someone mike!" 

"dont use my name,someone might be listening!"  they both searched the house and found every single pill, then, dissipated into the night. but they had the courtesy to, before they left, clean up the blood and put  grandma back into the chair. which was just more terrifying in the morning.

Jake wake up like normal that morning, other than still grieving over his little brother, but then smelled something weird. he got up out of bed to see a little down the hallway. "grandma why are you laying like that? is you neck hurting you?" he walked out when she didnt answer. "did you take your pills? mom should be up by no-" he saw it, the blood, the cut, her scared yet tired eyes that were half lidded, and how it looked like she had been placed there after death for the amusement of the killer. "why grandma of all people" he started to sob "why are you doing this to me! why is this happening!i just want to die!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. he didnt care about the neighbors, he didn't care about taking his pills, but one thing he needed to make sure of. mom cant see grandma like this.

so he took her favorite blanket with red stripes and a big blue heart in the middle, and wrapped her in it. she was a small woman, so it was easy to carry her out right by Ethan to bury her. he stayed and payed his respects for awhile, then left for home, looking like a train wreck.

he walked in to his mother freaking out, he thought that she couldn't have figured out what happened to grandma, he was going to tell her she had a heart attack. she frantically turned and said "i cant find any pills anywhere!"

"what" "i cant find them" then it hit him, the people that were the big gossip in the slums robbed them, and grandma must have heard them and got up, and they killed her.

"what are we going to do mom!" with no answer she went to her room. jake ran to his room and slammed the door. he started panicking. with a shard impulsive grab to the left. a knife, he didnt even remember leaving it there. he brought it to his arm and sliced but instead of pain, he felt a feeling that was...

intoxicating.
