All Alone

Chapter 1

I came downstairs and heard Mum screaming and Dad shouting. He was threatening to slit her throat. He had said things like this before but my mum and I knew he wouldn't dare do such a thing. He had abused her for the least of 5 or 6 years now, and I knew it needed to be stopped. He wouldn't allow her to divorce him nor tell anyone about what he did, or he threatened. I ran down and grabbed his arm to pull him away with all the strength in my body I had. I was sure he would finally step over the line he had been getting closer to over the years; it was coming. He pushed me on the floor and rummaged in the draw for a knife. He came over to me and cut my arm and slashed through my t-shirt. My mum screaming and shouting at him to stop. My arm was throbbing and I was crying in so much pain. He walked over to my mum and pulled out a gun from his back pocket and loaded it.

For a second I was in awe about what he was doing and how out of control he was. Mum was screaming how much she loved me and hated my dad. And then he pulled the trigger.

It was all a massive blur for me as I was in a lot of pain on the floor and I couldn't see for my tears, but I remember him leaving saying he'd never come back. He left with nothing except a bottle of beer, leaving me and my mum all alone.

She was left in a pool of blood. The bullet had gone through her forearm and I was laid next to her. I was crying and crying. I had phoned an ambulance but it didn't arrive until she had stopped breathing. I couldn't live without her.

So here I am. Her funeral was last week and I haven't gone to school. I miss her. I'm living on my own until my Grandma finishes decorating her house. All I have done for the past two weeks is sit and read books. I have a pretty boring life. But now I've lost my mum and my dad. The two people who were there for whenever I needed them. Now they're gone. And I'm just.... Well I don't know.... I guess I just feel....         All alone.....

Didn't enjoy writing the last story and it felt like something I was bored of doing so I decided to start a new one!! 😇 I'll probably decide to continue my other one so I'm gonna leave it up (I was gonna delete it lol) 😋❤️
