Then I Quit [BL]

Ben and Jen

Even in my own bed, my body is still all shaken up and the tips of my toes and fingers are chilly.

I hate translating for stepmom. I hate it! Why can't she hire a real translater like she did for the boss? It's not like she doesn't have the money either.

I hear Ben and Jen running down the stairs to me.

"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Ben shouts.

"Yeah?" And they both stop by slamming onto my door.

"Do we want to wake Gabe? He locked himself up since last night when he came back with mom," Jen asks his older brother.

"No. He's just a baby. He'll threaten to call the police if he wakes up," I could almost see him shaking his head. "Come on. They're over here."

I know what they're planning. They want to play with dad's gun collection.

I quickly get out of bed and goes to stop them. Keeping dad's collection from people is the only task dad have ever given me.

"Stop. You know you're not suppose to come down here," my voice is coarse from staying up all night.

"Yeah, and who made that rule?"

"Dad did," Jen answers his brother. Ben slaps the back of Jen's head and whispers 'stupid!' Under his breath.

"Anyway, my point is that you can't stop us," Ben pushes me aside and presses some buttons. The safe opens revealing all sort of guns.

"Oh, nice. Why does dad keep this away from us?"

"Stop it. You can't touch any of those?" I run to them.

"Who says we ca-" Ben stops his brother from finishing his mock.

Ben playfully points the gun he picked up at me, "Stop fucking with us. Dad's not even in the house at the moment."

So this is why they have so much guts.

"I'm calling dad right now," I turn around and begin to run upstairs to the land phone.

"Hey, Stop!" Ben follows my movements with a gun.

"No, Ben," Jen pulls the gun away from his brother. "You might accidentally shoot him."

"That is the point isn't it?" Ben smiles, "It's better when the target is moving and have a conscious."

"What? No. You said we were only looking," Jen runs to me and pushes me aside.

"What are you doing Jen? You want to take his place or something?" Ben focus his gun on Jen now, "You know I'll shoot."

"Hey, Ben. Let's stop this stupid thing and go play some Smash Bros?"

"Stupid? You think what I'm doing is stupid?"

"No. I mean I'm stupid so there's no point in shooting guns at or with me," Jen raises an arm and walking slowly to his brother planning to slap the weapon out of Ben's hands.

"Hm, usually I'll listen to you but I'm the older one here!" He pulls the trigger and I jump to push Jen out of the way.

We made it. It's okay.

Ben's face is terrified and drops the gun. He screams, "Ah!"

He covers his entire head with his hands and arms and runs upstairs to his room.

"Gabe!" Jen screams as he points at my left's knee. It is destroyed and blood runs rapidly. Yet I still feel no pain.

"What do we do? What do we do?" Jen continues to cry the same sentence out.

"Call the ambulance!"

"But they'll call the police and take Ben away?" He runs upstairs to his brother.

If I don't do anything, I'll die soon. I'm losing too much blood and too quickly at that. I use my hands and crawl up the steps out of the basement.

The floor is cold and going each step feels like going one step down to hell.

I hear knocking on the door. This could be help. So I shout, "Help! Help!"

I am only on the eighth step up the stairs when the front doors are busted open by brute force.

"Where are you at?" It is Ralph's voice follow by Jelly and Freddie.

"Here!" My voice is getting weak as it's getting harder and harder to stay conscious.

Jelly shows up at the doorway to the basement and her face shows the terror that is me.

"Ahh!" She screams. Freddie and Ralph run to us.

While Ralph stands still like Jelly, Freddie climbs down the staircase to me. He takes off his shirt and wraps it around my knee to stop the bleeding.

"What are you guys waiting for? Call for the ambulance!"

I'm trying my best to write the story. It carries the elements I meant to put in The Ways You Make Me Love that I have taken out.

I hope you guys still enjoy it 😊
