But Youre The One Who Shot Me

I decided in the end not to press charges, but Anna and I both filed a restraining order.

She gave me a ride home which I thanked her for before going inside. My mom was at the table, laughing...with a guy?

"Who's this?" I asked nervously.

She sighed. "Alex, this is my new boyfriend. Brett, this is my daughter Alex."

"It's good to finally meet you." He said holding out his hand.

"No!" I screamed. "You can't replace Dad! You might not miss him but I do!" I ran up to my room and slammed the door. After locking it I turned on Bulls In The Bronx by PTV.

I couldn't handle all the pressure anymore.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I sat down on my bed.

"Alex Trumain Fuentes you open this door right now!!" I heard my mom yell, banging on the door.

I ignored her and turned up the music.

"She's not usually like this I swear." She said panicked.

I laughed. "Wow, you've had this guy how long and you're already lying?!" I yelled above the music.

"Get out here now!!" She screeched.

"No! You think you can replace him!?You think you can find somebody else?!" I yelled angrily.

"You think you're the only one who loved him?!" She screamed.

The words stung but before I could think I was screaming out words that tasted bitter on my tongue and pierced the air causing a startling silence.

"I'm the only one who still loves him!!"

She didn't retaliate, instead I heard her retreating back down the staircase in defeat.

I looked up at the ceiling. "Dad. If you're out there listening, I just want you to know I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything, I love you dad. I will always love you." I said.

I walked outside on the balcony and looked up the stars. I did this when I got upset. I would say one star was Dad, one was Mike, and so on for all my other dead relatives. Then I recite a poem I wrote.

Well I'm down here

I know you're near

And when I am sad

I know every cry you here

Don't waste your tears

Don't hide from fears

I'll see you soon

When I'm all done here

I won't say goodbye

Even though I may cry

I will always love you

With you I know I'll be alright

I sighed and went back inside. I eventually fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was a note On The floor.

"Alex,

I'm at work. Foods in the fridge, eat something. I'll be back at 10:00. Be good,

-Mom"

Short and to the point. I took a shower and got dressed. I did my hair, makeup, brushed my teeth, and put on a some black skinny jeans and a Black Veil Brides T-shirt. I topped it off with black vans and a SnapBack before heading downstairs and caving into the hunger. I had an apple and a glass of water.
