When I'm With You (REWRITING)

CHAPTER 14

"Why won't my hair be normal!" She exclaims frustrated, pulling her hair. She pouts at me through the mirror making me chuckle.   

"I'll help you," I volunteer, as I grab the comb out of her hand before she could rip all her hairs off her head.  

I gently brush my hair and she watches me, grunting every time I'd run into a knot. "Done," I say admiring her pretty face in the mirror. 

"Thanks, it looks so much better now." She inspects it through the mirror. 

I grab her bag and walk down while Jancye follows me.

Dee's P.O.V

I clamp my eyes together waiting for the bullet to go through my skull. 

"Dee?" I hear someone familiar call out to me, making me realise I wasn't hit.  

I snap open my eyes and see Rayn on the side of the room, holding a gun.

I look down and see my father in a pool of his blood, making my eyes widen. 

"Oh my God." I breathless say, bringing my hands to my face, covering me from the chaotic sense in front of me. 

My heart pace slowly went down. The huge tension pushing down on my shoulders lifted off me and I felt like jelly. I silently cry, shaking in my own embrace. 

I feel Rayn's present next to me. "Hey. It's okay. I'm here." I feel his arms wrap around me. 

My cries turned into chocking air.  I couldn't stop thinking about the dead body in front of me.

The half that had created me, was going kill me without any hesitation. I stare at the still body in front of me. 

"You saved my life...." My voice cracks as I take to stop shaking. "How..?" 

Rayn rubs my back, properly sitting down next to me. "I heard the gunshot from my room,"  

We just sit there for a few minutes in silence. 

I have no one but Aunty Anna now. My mother was gone. My grandma was gone and now my father.  

I hear the police in the background getting closer and closer.

"POLICE! OPEN UP!" They bang on the front door. Rayn grabs the keys which were sprawled out on the floor, probably dropped when my father was shoot. 

He opens the door and the police rush in, pushing past him. Guns pointed directly towards me, making me shake my head. They eye my father, dead on the ground and lower their guns. "Call the ambulance." One of the officers says as he kneels down next to the body. 

A lady comes over to me with a bottle of water and hands it to me. "Did you think you could explain what happened, darling?"

I nod, agreeing to her question. "He was about to shoot me but Rayn..." I look over at him and point at him. He was talking to a male officer, probably also getting questioned. "...shot him and saved me." Is all I say while staring at the dead body on the ground. 

She writes something down on her notepad. "That's good enough for now. We'll talk to you when you're ready. For now, can we ask you to get in the ambulance?" I nod, lifting myself from the ground. 

I felt dizzy as I straighten my clothes. My bloody nose now dry and painful. 

I start walking, keeping my eye on anything but the obvious bloody body on my childhood home. I feel a hand grab onto my foot and pull on it, completely twisting it.
