Maxerica: A Married Life

Chapter 46: Why why why?

Recap: All of the sudden we hear a scream and then Amberly yelling "MOMMY, DADDY HELP!"
—~—~—~—~—
Maxon and I bolt into the kids' room and Amberly is in the corner crying with Angel and Shalom is being held with a knife at his throat. The man holding Shalom is Kota. My brother. Of all people it had to be Kota. I look over and see Maxon with Amberly and Angel. I look back over to Kota and gulp.

"Well well Well if it isn't my baby sister" he smirks up at me.

"What are you doing here Kota?" I ask him. It takes everything in me to not kill Kota right now because I know that if he goes for me, he will kill Shalom.

"Oh you know, I want the crown"

"You will never get the crown"

"Oh yeah? Are you sure about that America? I am more fit for the crown than you two idiots"

I clench my fists "put the knife down Kota"

"Why should I?"

"Because That is my son"

"Mmmm not good enough"

"KOTA I SAID DROP THE KNIFE!" I yell at him. I start to wonder where the guards are. I look towards Maxon and give him a look that says to go find the guards with Amberly and Angel. They go off and look for guards.

"They won't find anyone" he says

"Shut up Kota! Just give me my son!" Suddenly I hear footsteps running to the room and guns loading. Right as Maxon, Amberly and Angel step into the room, Kota slits Shalom's throat and jumps out the window.

I scream and run and grab Shalom. Tears run down my face and I try to feel for a heartbeat but there isn't one. "NO!" I scream and cry. I don't dare look at Maxon but I know the guards took Amberly and Angel into a different room. Maxon sinks to the ground next to me and pulls me into his chest. I cry into him with Shalom's head on my lap. I feel Maxon shake and I know he's crying too. We've lost our only son.

Soon enough the guards come in and take Shalom's body away.

-5 months later-

I lay in bed not moving. I haven't really moved from this spot since my own son was killed in front of me. Maxon has been a good father and has been taking care of the girls for me. I stare off into space and think about all the things I could have done to save him. I haven't been eating much so I've lost a few pounds. Maxon had put the girls to bed and he walked into our room with a tray of food and he sits on the bed next to me.

"Okay Ames, time to eat"

"I'm not hungry" I say

"No Ames. You are hungry now eat"

"No" I say again

"Ames I know you are upset and so am I! You're not the only one who lost their son! He was my son too!" He yells at me and I break down crying and he pulls me to him. "I'm sorry" he whispers.

"I could have done something to save him" I cry into his chest.

"There was Nothing you could do"

"I wish"

"We all do. Now will you please eat?"

"Fine But I will only have a little" I say and he kisses my head "then we will work our way up from a little to a whole meal"
