"Hey" I heard my mom whisper to me as I started to wake up a little more by the minute. "Someone in the lobby noticed Ben pushing me and your little brother around. They called the police and they took him away". I looked up at the roof of the car in relief and then at mom. I saw cop cars over on the other side of the parking lot. I looked over my shoulder and saw Jackson sleeping. I looked at my mom with tears running down my face. "Don't worry Lux he is gone now. We are going to be ok." She said to comfort herself more than me. "Are we leaving?" I asked her. But before she could answer she screamed. Tears ran down her face. I looked over her shoulder and saw Ben. I screamed hoping it was just a sick nightmare. She just stood there. I noticed a small gash in her side and saw a dark liquid leaving the gash. I heard Ben laugh and say something but I couldn't understand because I was in a state of shock. "NO" I screamed while crying, holding my mom up. I noticed a dark liquid escape from her mouth. Its blood, blood oozed out of her mouth and out of her gash. She coughed up blood as she fell in my arms. I held her as I cried harder and the screams became louder. I didn't realize it at first, but they were mine and Jacksons. No one was helping us. We were alone. My vision blurred. I couldn't see anything. I felt a harsh pain from the side of my stomach. I screamed and cried harder. I looked over at Jackson to see him crying and screaming for help. He crawled over to me and hugged me tightly as he cried. I tried to hold myself together and be strong, but the world was crashing at my feet. I'm trying to stay strong but I am way too weak to even stay awake. I leaned back in the seat and cried out in pain. I held onto the wound as I realized Ben had stabbed me. I saw Ben laughing at my pain. Everything began to darken as my life flashed before my eyes.All Rights Reserved
