Beginnings and Ends

Start from the beginning
                                    

I run upstairs to my room, contemplating what I should wear for my 15th birthday. I decide to go with a pair of black leggings and my favorite pastel pink cropped hoodie with black converse hightops. Simple and comfy. After brushing my hair, I hear a knock at my door. I look over and see Ty standing in my doorway.

"Well, I'll be damned," he says sarcastically, "You put on a pair of non revealing pants. I'm so proud." I sneer at him.
"And you put on a shirt," I reply, walking over to him. He was reasonably taller than me, for I am pretty short compared to the rest of my family.
He suddenly hugs me and I hug back, "Hey happy birthday," he says kindly.
I pull away, "Happy birthday to you, too." Thats when I heard it. Gun shots. We both turn around and look towards the stairs.
"That came from downstairs," I pause, "Son of a bi-" Thats when I heard it. My mothers screams. Another shot. My dads screams. Scilence. I couldnt hear them. Nothing.
"T- t- ty-" I start to say when he shushes me.
"Hadley," he whispers, "I hear footsteps coming up the stairs."
"Holy shit," I say under my breath, "Come on, we have to hide in my closet." We start to run to my room, when we hear another gunshot, and a grunt. Mom. I can hear her. I stop in my tracks.
Tyler turns around, "Hads, come on, hurry," he whisper shouts.
"No, I can hear mom, I have to get downstairs." I say, insistantly.
"Hadley, no," I can hear him say, as I walk twards the stairs.

As I'm walking, I see a shadowy figure walking into my parents room. Luckily, they didn't notice me. I hovered over the ground, so I wouldn't make any creaks in the ground by walking. I hovered over to the door and used my x-ray vision to see through the walls. I saw at least 3 figures, all watching out for their surroundings. They were probably looking for me and Tyler. I hovered there and looked through the floor to see my parents in the kitchen. I could see them lying on the ground, very still. Shot. They were shot. That set me off. Even if the intruders had a substance that could harm me, I didn't care. I was so engulfed in rage.

    I stormed in there. Immediately, the men pointed their guns at me. I easily took out the two guns, that were filled with lead bullets, using my heat vision. Wait. Lead. They shot my father with lead. So what did the other gun have? Kryptonite. The only thing that could hurt my mother and I. I didn't care if the man could kill me right now. I sped up to him, punching him square in the face. He dropped the gun, and I grabbed it. I could feel the searing pain, but I didn't care. I had knocked him out, leaving the other two with burned hands, passed out from pain. I scanned my house for anyone else, but no one else was there.
"TYLER," I yelled out, on the verge of tears, "ALL CLEAR, GET DOWN STAIRS NOW." I saw him run out of my room and down the hall. We met up and ran down the stairs. That's when I saw them. My parents. They had both been shot. I stood there in shock.
    "Oh my-" I couldn't say anything. I just stood there. Thats when I yelled out
"MOM, OHMYGOD MOM, dad... DAD OH GOD, NO NO NO," I ran over to them, but Ty was alread holding my dad, trying to keep him awake. So, I ran over to my mom and kneeled down, "Mom, mom stay with me... mom." No answer, "MOM," I yelled out, and her eyes barely opened, "OHMYGOD MOM MOM STAY WITH ME, PLEASE MOM, I CAN'T LOOSE YOU, OR DAD, DON'T DIE ON ME. YOU CANT LEAVE ME HERE."
"Hadley...," she struggled to speak. I was holding her head in my lap, crying, "Hadley... tell your father that I... that I love him... tell Tyler I love him... I love you, my sweet baby girl. I need you to do something for me," she pulled me down so she could tell me something. Once she finished, I lifted my head back up, I had tears in my eyes.
    "You're so beautiful. Don't ever change. I love you." That was the last thing she said to me. She turned stiff, one single tear escaping from her eyes. Dead. She was dead.
"NO NO NO NO NO, MOM NO... MOM WAKE UP, PLEASE MOM,"

    I broke down in tears, still holding my mother. Thats when the front door opened, and a couple dozen DEO agents came into the house. Some stopped and looked at us, crying over our dead parents, others just continued searching the house. I felt someone starting to pry me away from my mother. Aunt Alex. I struggled so hard, but I felt so weak. That's when I realised that I droped the gun containing kryptonite right beside the steps, but an agent picked it up and walked right by me. Aunt Alex succeeded pulling me away from my mother and J'ohn pulled Ty away from dad.
"Hadley look at me," said Aunt Alex, looking me in my tear filled eyes, "This is not your fault, ok? Calm down. Just breathe."

    I could tell she was holding her tears back, but she let a few escape. I couldn't help it. I just broke down in tears. Aunt Alex pulled me into a tight hug, which made me break down even more. After a while, she loosned her grip on me, and pulled away. She looked me up and down. I looked down at myself, my pants and shirt covered in my mothers blood. I was trying to hold back tears, but it was very obvious.
    "We need to get you two back to the DEO," Aunt Alex stated, "J'ohn, we need to get them out of here."

I looked over at the staircase and could see agents leading the gunmen out. One of them looked at me and smiled. Thats when it clicked. He was one of the two that passed out from pain. I started to walk over when Tyler grabbed my arm. I looked back at him, my tear-stained face had an angry epression on it. He let go, I assumed he had knowledge of what I was about to do. I walked over to the agents leading the man out of my house, stopping them.
I looked straight into the tall mans hateful eyes, and I yelled out, "YOU EVIL SON OF A BITCH," and I punched him smack dab in them middle of his face, hard enough to break his nose and jaw, but not hard enough to knock him out. I wanted him to feel the pain. I could hear the 'Oohs" from some of the agents, knowing fully well that it must've been painful.

The agents took the men into the armed black van, mostlikely taking them back to the DEO. I stood there watching them drive away. I must've been holding the front door too tight, because I crushed the wood on the frame. With no remorse, I decided to walk back over to my parents. I never got to say goodbye to my dad. I kneeled right next to him. I looked into my mothers still eyes, then I looked at my fathers face. He looked so peaceful. I couldn't help but cry. I held his hand.
"I'm so sorry I didn't say goodbye," I wispered to him, fully knowing that he couldn't hear me, "Mom told me to tell you she loves you. I'm gonna really miss you. I love you so much dad."

I felt Tylers hand on my shoulder. I got up off the floor, and he pulled me in for a hug. He just let me cry into his shoulder. We stood there for a while, until Aunt Alex and J'ohn told us to grab some belongings that we wanted. I imediately grabed my mothers necklace from Krypton, my phone, my parents phones, my phone charger, my headphones, and a blanket. J'ohn and Aunt Alex escorted us out of the house. As we were walking out of the front door, I looked back at my parents for one last time. We were led to a black DEO car. I jumped in with Ty, Aunt Alex, and J'ohn, and the driver led us away from our house.
