Carpe Diem

Prologue

Omniscient,

     Everything had gone completely silent. It was so quiet you could hear a rat pee on the carpet. Her palms were sweaty and her body shook in fear. She didn't know if they were too scared to speak or if they were just use to this type of behavior. This was all new to her. Of course she heard stories and rumors about how evil he could be but this person standing in front of her she didn't know. It was like someone else had completely taken over his body. Plus she could tell he was under the influence and that didn't make matters any better. His eyes bored a hole into hers with a look of disgust evident on his face. "I've stood here five minutes eagerly waiting for a response and you've gave me nothing" his voice boomed across the room startling her. She began to whimper silently. Praying that things didn't get out of hand.  He watched her began to cry harder yet he stood there unbothered by her tears. They meant nothing to him. She had betrayed his trust, crossed the line of no return and there was only one solution to the problem. She wasn't giving him the answers that he wanted and it was time for all of this to be over already. He pulled the gun from his waistband and aimed it at her. She made him resort to his old ways. The only thing he had been taught since a boy. Kill or be killed. And he wasn't ready to die just yet so it was obvious that she had to go. "Please don't this to me, you wouldn't kill me, you love me tre" she sobbed. He scoffed loudly.  Love? She didn't love him. He felt so stupid that he was blinded this whole time by this so called love she had for him. She could keep it. "Cut the bullshit okay" he gritted. "Just listen to me, hear me out okay" she begged. "You know me tre, just put the gun down so we can go somewhere and talk" "come on baby, i love you" "listen to your heart baby" she proceeded. She kept going and going. Tre's chest began to heave up and down quickly. He was getting more and more angry. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP" he screamed at her. "Tre maybe it's time to cool off" one of the females in the building suggested timidly. She almost pissed her self hearing the words come from her mouth. "Mind your fucking business" he gritted at her before turning his attention back to someone he thought he'd spend the rest of his life with. She stood there still pleading and begging him to put the gun away. Her cries became louder and louder and everyone in the room was in a uproar not thinking things would get this out of hand. Tre heard so many voices at once. "Put the gun down boss" "don't do this" "think about this man". Despite their pleads the conversation he previously had played over and over in his head. He couldn't believe he was so gullible and that he actually slipped up and let something like this happen.  "I SAID SHUT UP" he screamed and at the same time the gun fired. He watched her body fall to the floor as everything seemed to move in slow motion. Everyone rushed her to side as blood pooled from her mouth. "YOU FUCKING SHOT HER" one of the females screamed as she tried to put pressure on the wound. "Stay with us Stormi" she said as she pressed on the wound harder. "I'm pregnant" Stormi said struggling to speak. "Can you believe it" she said as she smiled a bit. You could hardly see her teeth from all the blood. Leave it to her to try and smile in a time like this. "Please save my baby" Stormi choked out as her body began to slowly stop shaking. "STORMI" tre shouted as he rushed over and grabbed her stiff body. He checked for a pulse but couldn't feel anything. He barely knew what he was doing. Everything was happening so fast. No one could believe he actually shot her. Hell, he couldn't believe he shot her. He loved Stormi, she was the love of his life. He sat there in shock, panicking internally, not knowing what to do. Pregnant?! She couldn't be. How could he have missed that. "We got to get her some help now" the female yelled at him. He sat there still stuck, frozen, unable to move or speak. What if she's gone? What happens to the baby? Most importantly What the fuck just happened....
