The gun shot

by Shay   Aug 27, 2007


I wake up, no I need to fall back to sleep, I hope I'm still dreaming, I know that this is a secret that I just cant keep. Try not to think about it, I cant let this bring me down, hush I hear someone in the other room, I better not make a sound. It sounds like a voice that I'm so used to hearing, yet instead of be happy to hear them, this is a person that I am now fearing. Did last night really happen, was this really real, or am I just over reacting my mind is going to fast, I just need to stay still. I cant find the answer no matter how I try, I think back to last night, then I begin to cry. Did I really see him do the things that he did, why didn't I try to stop them? Gosh I should have never hid. I can see through the crack in the door, I see blood laying beside a body, now I know that this is for sure. I don't need to think about all of this right now, I have to figure out a way to get out of here, I'm just not sure how. Maybe he wont catch me if I run for the door, but then again I don't want to be the next body that lays there on the floor. I see a window, maybe I can get climb through, but I know it's 3 storys high, then what will I do? I have to hurry, I know time is not on my side, I know eventually he'll be comming in my room, I can no longer hide. Once more I look through the crack, I notice it is my mother laying cold on her back. I cant stand to see the sight, but I have to continue to tell myself that it will be alright. Wait where is my cell, where the hell did I put it last night? If I could only get to it then I know I'll be alright. No, I didn't put it there, oh yes I remember it's right over here. No!!!! my battery is dead, now all these damn thoughts are consumming inside my head. Stop it, just stop thinking bad thoughts. Wait, what was that I just heard gun shots. I hear the familur voice say, my daughter must have got away, the cops will probably be here soon, it's bad for me to stay. Then I realize that this man is not a stranger, this is a man that I know all to well, this man is my father, my face is now pail. Why would he do this, I cant under why, now I know if he finds me I'll be the next to die. What was that, no he's comming inside, I have to be fast, I need a place to hide. He calls my name, I try not to make sound, just as he starts to leave, my phone falls to the ground. Daddy, please don't hurt me, honey calm down, I'm not I just need to know what exactly did you see. Daddy, I saw nothing, please let me go, how do I know that for sure, you could just be saying no. Please daddy I wont tell anyone, daddy, what are you doing, daddy plz just put away the gun. Shut up I cant concintrate with you crying, You think I want to kill you? I had to watch your mother as she was drying. Daddy, you know that you'll get caught? Daddy pulls the gun closer to me, and I hear a loud shot. I guess daddy didn't realize, I guess he didn't understand, but he is the one that tought me to take a gun from someone's hand.
