Stand By Me

Chapter 30

(Night)

•Descriptive•

I woke up from my nap. All of a sudden I became really sad again. I began crying again out of nowhere.

James came by my side and hugged me tight.

"I love you so much." He whispered rocking me back and forth

"I love you too." I said wiping my tears away

I got up and walked into the kitchen to see dishes waiting to be washed. I started washing them as I came across a knife. I remembered the feeling of releasing pain. I slowly slid my finger across it as my finger started bleeding.

I let out a silent scream. James heard it and came rushing in. He saw it and quickly got a cloth and bandages.

He sat across from me in a chair as he pre-cautiously wrapped it.

"What did you do? Be careful with knives Catherine."

I didn't care. This didn't compare to the pain I've felt losing the two most important people in my life.

James began to yawn and kissed my lips one last time before heading off to bed.

I went to the living room and watched tv in the dark. Violent thoughts began popping into my head. I couldn't control them. My thoughts fought themselves back and forth

My mind came up with horrible things to do to people. Something was happening to me and I didn't know exactly what it was.

I slapped my face trying to stop myself from all of this. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face. I stared at me reflection and I didn't look so good. But then again when do I ever?

My thoughts decide to come up with a plan of revenge. I felt as if something possessed me.

I looked under the sink cabinets to search for a distraction from the violent thoughts. I searched around and came across something. It was a gun. I took it into my cold grip. I walked into our bedroom as I put the gun in left my hand.

I walked up to the side of our bed where James was sleeping. I walked up to him and I leaned in.

"I love you so much. Forever & always." I whispered and kissed his lips

He shuffled and grabbed my right arm.

"Go to sleep with me babe." He begged

"No, I'm not that tired. I'll just be watching tv in the living room. Okay?"

"Okay." He softly spoke falling back asleep

I gave him a hug and slowly walked out of the room closing the door behind me.

I grabbed a big knife from the kitchen drawer. I pushed the drawer closed and I slowly slipped out of the front door. I held the gun tighter in my hand.

My revenge was coming real soon.

I got to the elevator and went up to the 4th floor.

I got to door #9 and knocked.

Cole opened it and there stood beside him was Lindsey.

"Cole, I have to tell you something about Amber."

I hid the objects behind my back. They opened the door and let me in.

"What is it? What happened to Amber?"

"She's dead and you two are going to be too!"

I took the knife and gun from behind my back. I slit Lindsey's throat as it gushed blood. I then put up the gun.

"This is for making me feel like I didn't belong in this world."

I shot her head.

"This is for bringing every one down around you."

I shot her leg.

"And this is for killing my baby!"

I shot at her heart.

Cole was stunned. He tried to run into his bedroom but he tripped over some things.

"Catherine please don't do this!" He pleaded

"Too late." I said as I shot him in the head

I looked around and realized the destruction I caused. All along I accused James of being a monster, but in reality I was the monster in disguise all this time.

I decided I wanted to join my mom, Amber, and Baylee.

I put the gun to my head as I instantly thought about all the wonderful memories I had with James.

"I love you James." I whispered to myself

Goodbye cruel world.

Bang!

James (p.o.v.)

My body jolted up and I went into the living room to see no Catherine in sight.

I opened the door and went into the hallway. I noticed the other neighbors were outside of their condos too. They all had a panicked and confused look on their faces.

"It came from the 4th floor! Someone call 911!" Someone shouted

The 4th floor? That's where Cole lives.

I ran to the elevator an instantly my finger pushed to the 4th floor. I got out and went to Cole's door. I knocked but there was no answer. So I slowly opened the door. I found a scene so horrible that nobody should ever have to see. I saw Catherine, Lindsey, and Cole's bodies laying in a pool of blood on the ground. What happened!?

I ran to Catherine's body without a thought.

"What happened to you?" I whispered while rocking her back and forth

"I love you."

I held her body tightly. I stayed there until the ambulance and police arrived.

When they arrived they pride Catherine from my arms as I sat their sobbing. They put Catherine, Cole and Lindsey all in body bags and took them away. The police officer came to talk to me and sled me questions. But all I could think about was Catherine. She's gone.

The love of my life is gone.

I walked up to Catherine's grave. I sat down as I always did.

I came here everyday since she was buried.

"Catherine, I got a promotion today at work! I also just found out my wife is pregnant. We are going to name the baby if it's a girl Olivia 'Catherine' Woods. I really miss you and I love you."

I felt a hand rest on my shoulder as I looked bak to find no one there. I always felt Catherine's presence around me.

I got up and put a beautiful red rose on her grave. It was her favorite. As I turned I remembered something.

"You were right. Good things do come to people who wait." I smiled

I turned and walked away knowing she will always have a special place in my heart.

The End.
