Te Quiero

SESENTA Y OCHO

La di da - Lennon stella

"I know you care about me but I can't tell you this. Your mum knows some of what's going on? Maybe she'd tell you but, I can't pin this problem on my children too."

His words echoed in my head then, I realized that the reason why he said that was because he didn't want us to know how jealous our mom was and how she tried to put him down in everything.

"Mom don't move!!!" I screamed.

Completely ignoring me, she kept walking.

"Mom!"

I was sweating profusely to the extent that my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I never knew it was going to be this hard! Finally standing in front of dad's murderer with my gun pointing towards her head but I couldn't do anything. I had prepared for this moment. This time where I'll finally end the life of my most hunted person but I was...weak cause she's my mom.

Who would've thought it was all because of her psychopathic jealousy?

Shit.

If I wasn't going to defend myself, she was actually going to kill me. Quickly, I thought of what to do and all that came to mind was to fire. I took in a deep breath and tried to control my shaky hands. With a deep breath, I fired and she fell on the floor.

Yes, I had to shoot her legs to hinder her from reaching me but that was only just a thought... cause I missed!!!

She laughed. "Oh dear, you can't even use a gun. I thought you would have learnt by now with all the rage you had in you? Where is that fierce and hot headed girl? Huh?"

No, I missed cause I couldn't hurt her.

Like a miracle, the high pitch of the police siren flooded my ears. Gosh. I was so relieved!

Thank you Bran for not listening to me cause you just saved my life once again.

"You called the police?! You betrayer." She rushed again with the knife and I ran into my room and jammed the door. "After all I've done for you! You still decided to tell the police! I thought you would understand but none of you will! None of you! That's why I had to meet Demorte to train me personally... I became his mistress! So, he would train me how to be an accurate sniper...still... none of you can understand and appreciate why I did this? Ingrates!"

What the fuck?!!

I tried to lock the door but she flung it open before I could even do so. Guess, she was stronger. She extended her hand so she could thrust my abdomen with the knife but I moved away.

Swiftly, I hit her neck with my elbow and moved away once again with the gun pointing to her. She smiled. "You're brisk."

In split seconds, she hit my hand and the gun fell on the floor. I was defenseless. I tried reaching for the gun but she grabbed my head and hit it against the wall. I groaned and tried to push her away but she held me to the wall and placed the knife on my neck. "I know the police is outside... so you'll tell them that it was a false alarm..."

"They would've believed if I wasn't bleeding from my head."

"You tell them it was an accident."

"I would never help you! You're sick and you need to see a doctor but also pay for your sins...do you prefer death by hanging or..."

"Shut up!"

I hit her leg with mine and then pushed her away. I heard her groaning but I ran quickly to get the gun but she caught me and pushed me to the floor. "Good bye Teresa."

"What? No..." I was terrified as she rose her arm to finally stab me but stopped in the air when she heard Cop Martial. "Drop the weapon on the floor ma'am and raise your two hands to the air. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney and if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you. If you waive these rights and talk to us, anything you say may be used against you in court."

Relief rushed through my veins like never before as I heaved heavily. I also raised my hands as I watched Cop Jacob hand cuff my mother.

"I'm sorry Teresa for coming this late. I hope you're not hurt?" He said to me as other officers rushed into the room. "Bran told me everything...oh shit you're bleeding." I couldn't say anything but just watch my brother who entered the room holding his back pack and looking confused. He frowned at me. "Tes...mom...what's going on? Why're the cops in here?"

—————

I was sad, angry and miserable at the same time but what could I do? Billions of thoughts were running through my head that I couldn't control it. My neurons were going haywire as I recalled how the past months had been.

I needed comforting and the only person I could think of was him.

Too many things had happened since my dad died. I became a hardcore who couldn't kill my dad's murderer at the end of the day, lol.

I became a maid.

My mom almost died before my eyes because of hypertension but thesame woman wanted to kill me cause, I knew her little dirty secret. The most unbelievable thing was the fact that she actually fucked Demorte just so she could kill my dad. Wow. It felt like my heart was being stabbed by a knife countless times.

I met a handsome doctor but now I'm aware that his the brother to a dangerous handsome man who killed El's daughter. How the hell did I even get to this?!

The cab stopped right in front of the building where I knew I would find him... the hospital. So, I got out and walked inside praying that he would be in his office and not in some 'ward' saving someone's life.

Luck was with me because when I opened the door, I saw him sitting right there reading one of those large textbooks medics usually read. He looked up and in surprise, he uttered my name. "Tess..."

"Dylan."
