"Will I go alone or will you bring me home,
You see through my eyes like broken windows,
So tell me if we're dying before I let go,
Who knows
Where to now."
The lyrics to my favourite song blare through my ears as I attempt to complete the ridiculous amount of math homework ive been given before dinner. I can smell Mom's signature curry being cooked and my stomach grumbles. Just as I get to the last sum, I hear a scream and then a loud bang coming from downstairs. I take off my headphones and there's another bang, much louder this time.
"Mom? Mom what's wrong?!"
I rush down the stairs and walk straight into the kitchen.
""Mom I -"
"Blaire. Go. Don't stop just turn around and run! HIDE! DON'T LET THEM FIND YOU! GO!"
"But Dad I -"
"JUST GO!"
I turn around and back up the stairs and lock myself in my closet. There's complete silence for a few minutes, almost haunting. Sweat trickles down my face and my breathing quickens as I sit there, still and quiet in complete darkness. That's when I hear the scream. A shrill, ear piercing scream.Following that, two loud gunshots and then silence again. A tear trickles down my cheek as I sit alone, silently in the dark.
