AMOUR

8 years ago 🌹

As I laid looking at the ceiling, my alarm clock rung removing me from my gaze. Today just felt so weird and I just couldn't figure out why but I shook the feeling , got up, went to the the bathroom to do my hygiene routine after I was done getting dressed. I went to wake up my brother which I been doing for the last 4 months because my mom was somewhere strung out . Since my dad left her 4 months ago she's been masking the pain with whatever drug she can get her hands on. After waking him, on way downstairs to the kitchen I heard arguing coming from the living room. I tip toed down the stairs so I could see what was going on. I hid on the side of the living room opening and peeked a little ,to see my mom and her boyfriend arguing like always. I shook my head and walked away to go make breakfast, as I was making breakfast the fussing continued but it seem worst then the last few times it happened but my mom always was told me "stay out of grown folks business " so that's what I was doing. Then that feeling came over me again and I lost focus and burned the toast, the arguing stoped and now their attention was shift to me
Mike(moms boyfriend)- what the fuck is wrong with you? He yelled
Chanel- oh nothing sorry
Mike- don't be burning shit in my house he yelled
Then my mom stepped in and tried to pull him back because he was coming towards me in rage. With fear written all over my face a backed up into the corner as he push my mom to make her let him go as she screamed
Mom- don't touch my child mike or I'm going to call the cops
Mike - bitch you call the cops on me I will kill you and her
He spoke as he was still making his way towards me. When he got close enough he smacked me across my face I fell to the ground in pain. As my mom ran to the living room to grab the phone to call the cops, when he notice what she was doing he ran over to a draw in the kitchen and pulled out his gun pointing it at her and yelling "hang the fucken phone up". I know y'all probably wonder where my brother was , he was watching at the top of the step crying. I wanted to comfort him so bad but fear had taken over my body. As my mom hung up and put the phone down slowly, he made his way over to her and grab the back of her neck and place the tip of the gun to her forehead. Her crying began to worsen as she looked me in the eyes all I could see was pain and fear. When he caught her staring at me he grip the back of her neck harder and said "give me Chanel I can make a lot of money off of her pretty ass or die, with pain in voice she said over my dead body and she tried to grab the gun as she went to reach for it two shots rung off and it seems as if everything went in slow motion as her lifeless body hit the ground and blood leaked from her head . As he went to point the gun towards me I heard sirens , saw the door being bussed down and him now pointing the gun at him self and pulling the trigger. As I saw his body hit the ground and the gun fall out his hand I felt pain and relief because I knew he couldn't hurt me anymore. As I removed my gaze from him looking for my brother he ran over to me with tears running down his face ,all I could say was "it's okay , it's going to be okay now" looking up I notice cops and paramedics running over to the bodies and a cop coming over to me and my brother. From this day foward nothing was the same
