Chapter. 16

Cory was running home crying loudly he finally got to his house the door was open and he walked in closing the door behind him "Momma!!!" he called there was no answer he walked around the house calling her again "Momma..." he walked up the stairs "Momma where are you?" still no answer he got upstairs and continued to look around he went into his momma's room "Momma?" he said looking she wasn't there he sighed. His momma walked pass cory looking at him in disgust at the sight of the blood he didn't notice her. He sighed again and walked towards the bathroom he saw a mirror and looked at his reflection. He was coved in blood, his suit was ripped and he had lost his shoes "This was a disaster" he said sadly he turned and walked into the bathroom shutting the door.

He turned on the tap to run himself a bath once the tub was full he took of his suit and dropped it onto the floor before stepping into the water. He sat in there for minute the grabbed the soap washing off the the blood off his body. Once he had done it he grappled the shampoo and rubbed it in his hair as it was covered completely in blood he washed the shampoo out and put more in. It took a while to wash it out he stopped and saw that the water had turned red he sighed sadly and started to cry. He was supposed to enjoy the prom but Tristan had to ruin it for him he kept crying at the thought of how many innocent lives he had ended and he was most upset about Charlene's death Brandon loved her and now Cory felt guilty for it.

After a moment of think Cory stepped out the bath and pulled the plug watching as the red water went down the drain. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off before putting on his night clothes once dressed he opened the door and walked out with his head down "Cory?..." he heard he looked up and saw his mother standing there "Momma..." Cory said in relief as he walked up to her she held her arms out for him as he hugged her she wrapped her arms around him "Oh momma...it was horrible... they all laughed at me...I was so upset" he said "Shh..." momma relied relied replied softly stroking his hair "it's alright now Cory...it's all alright" Cory looked at her and grabbed her hand he slowly got on his knees she did the same.

"Let's pray" Momma said softly. Her eyes fixed on Cory's and there was a crazed, awful compassion in them. The fire light was brighter now, dancing on the walls Up dervishes. 'For the last time, let us pray.'

"Oh Momma help me!" Cory cried out.

He fell forward on his knees, head down, hands raised in supplication.

Momma leaned forward,

They stared at each other in silent tableau.

Mavis Anthony whispered: 'Our father, Who art in heaven-'

'-hallowed be Thy name-'

'-Thy Kingdom come-'

'-Thy will be done-'

'-on earth-'

Momma grabbed the knife that was hidden underneath the floor mat

'-as ... as ... as it...'

She raised the knife, hands twitching.

'-as it is in heaven.'

She stabbed Cory in the back he groaned in pain then fell backwards onto the stairs with he fell down he landed hard on the floor groaning he saw his momma walking down the stairs with the knife in her hand he tried to back away when she grabbed him "Momma stop" he screamed she didn't listen and tried to stab him again but missed cutting Cory on the arm he groaned and turned onto his stomach trying to crawl away. Momma cut his leg he groaned pain again still trying to crawl away she held him tightly and turned him on his back getting on top of him. Cory looked at her shocked he didn't know why she was trying to kill him, her only only child, She raised the knife and was about to stab Cory in his head he closed his eyes tightly then he held his hands up stopping the knife with his mind. She gasped loudly he slowly opened his eyes looking Momma tried to push the knife into him but Cory was to strong all the draws in kitchen opened every sharp object came out, cory turned his hand controlling the objects making them aim towards momma she looked at him with sorrow.

"Cory..." she said "I'm sorry..." he whispered "CORY!!!!" she screamed as he pushed her off him and made all the sharp objects fly towards her they stabbed her Two knives went in each of  her hands making her groan in pain two knives went in her arms she groaned more, A pair of scissors went into the top of her chest, Cory sat up and watched as this happened, a sharp metal ruler went into her stomach she screamed loudly them finally a big sharp knife went into her chest through her heart. She was pinned up against the wall Cory gasped again and sat up slowly walking towards his mother "Momma?..." he said about to touch her when she left out one last final gasp before her head dropped towards the floor. She was dead.

"Momma..." Cory said tears started to cry he slowly pulled all the sharp objects from her, he grabbed the handle of the knife and slowly pulled it from her chest she was about to fall when Cory caught her. Her lifeless body was heavy so he got on his kneel down and held her in his arms touching her cheek "i'm sorry momma..." he said crying loudly. Brandon was walking down the street when he saw Cory's house he ran towards it and up the path the door was open so he walked in only to see Cory kneeling down holding his mother.

"Cory?" he said looking at him Cory looked up at Brandon not saying anything "What happened?" Brandon asked in concern Cory looked at his momma "I killed her... I killed my momma..." he said sadly Brandon gasped and slowly walked towards him "Don't worry I'll help you, let's get her to a hospital" he said about to touch her. Cory glared at him "No!" he yelled Brandon took a step back "I'm not taking her to a hospital" Brandon looked at Cory confused "But Cory you can't leave her dead body here" he said Cory looked down "Who said I was leaving her" he said brandon didn't understand "You have to get her to a hospital Cory...you can't leave her here...it's stu-" Brandon froze and Cory glared at him "I said..." he raised his hand out a Brandon and with telekinesis started to choke him he coughed trying to gasp for air "I'm not leaving her" Brandon was still gasping for air "C-cory....you're hurting me..." he said in pain Cory smiled slightly "Why shouldn't I...I've been hurt all my life" he said.

Then he remembered that Brandon was the one who had stopped throwing things at him in the shower room, that he was the one who tried to apologise, and that he let Charlene be his prom date and now he was trying to help him, Brandon had been nice to him all this time. Cory then stopped choking him and sighed "I'm sorry..." he said Brandon looked at him "It's okay..." Brandon replied "I've hurt everyone tonight... my life is a mess and I don't wanna live it anymore..." Cory said sadly. This confused Brandon "What to you mean?" he asked Cory just looked at him not saying a word.

Then the house started to shake and the roof started to fall Brandon gasped he knew what Cory was doing "No Cory don't do this" he said trying to stop him "My mother's dead and I'm gonna join her" said Cory. The house was now fully starting to collapse the roof was falling and debris was falling all over the floor "Cory you have to get outta here!" Brandon yelled "I'm not moving" Cory replied "Come on Cory, the house will collapse on you and you'll be crushed, Come with me" Brandon held his hand out for Cory. He shook his head "I'm staying with my momma" he held out his hand and started to push Brandon out "No Cory you have to go now" said Brandon "You need to go, your a nice person and nice people deserve to live" said Cory smiling at him Brandon was taken by what Cory had just said he smiled back. Cory then sent out a small telekinetic that pushed Brandon right out of the collapsing house he landed softly on the grass.

Cory kissed his momma on the forehead and hugged her tightly "Goodbye cruel world" he said quietly before the whole roof fell on top of him. Brandon sat up and watched as the whole house fell down to pieces he gasped and stood up "Cory noo...." he whimpered his eyes started to tear up "This would never have happened if I hadn't bullied him...." he tried to wipe away this tears "...All he wanted was a friend..." Brandon looked at the rubble of the collapsed house then walked away.
