• "Mommy what's going on?" I cried. "Look baby girl. Run to your room and don't look back. Everything is gonna be alright." She said. She tried to smile so I wouldn't be frightened, But it didn't work. I was completely terrified.
    Then I saw my daddy come around the corner. In one hand he clutched a metal bat. With piercing eyes, he targeted me. My mom pushed me out the way. She turned her head knowing she was gonna die. Tears streamed down her checks. The strong metal bat hit her head as she gasped for air. My heart was pounding with fear.
    I ran up stairs and tripped on the way. I ran to my room and hid in my closet. I tried covering my mouth and stop my whimpering. I heard my daddy's feet going up the stairs.
    The closet door was cracked open. I squeezed my teddy bear against my chest. I saw my father walk in my room. He moved closer to my
    closet. I see dark red blood drop down slowly onto the hard wooden floor.
    "Rose where are ya'? He chuckled a dark laugh that filled the room with darkness and sent chills down my spin.
    The door was pushed open. My head was spinning. I shut my eyes knowing this was the end for me. "Is this the way I die?" I whispered to myself. "I'm gonna fight back." I whispered to myself. I crept to the door and searched for my black guitar. I made a firm grip. My breathing became heavier. Palms became sweaty. I walked towards the door again. I peek out. I see my fathers blood shot eyes staring into my eyes.
    "Ah, there ya are, Rose" He laughed a dark laugh. He grabbed my shoulder length black hair and dragged me out the close.
    "Stop it!" I yelled. I tried slapping him so he could release me. He tried picking me up. I grabbed his face and dug my long finger nails into his skin. His face was dripping with blood. He screamed
    in pain
    "You b***h!" He yelled. He picked me up and through me on the bed and got on top of me.
    "Please stop," I cried. Tears streamed down my face."Your a cruel man" I ,said "Go to hell." He slapped my face. I cried even more.
    "God help me". I whispered to myself. I turned my head and saw my older brother Sean walk in my room. He ran to my father and started punching him in his back. My father turned around and pushed Sean to the floor. He through the bat on the floor and pulled out a gun from his pants.
    "NO!" I screamed. I pushed my father off of me and ran to my brother. I pushed him out the way. The gun went off. I looked down at my stomach. I put my hand to my stomach and looked at my hand. My legs weakened. My eyes felt heavy. I started to fall. Sean caught be and put me gently to the floor and held my head up.
    "Pleas, Rose you have to stay awake" He cried. He looked at
    my father. "Look at what you've done." He said angrily. Sean took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed 911.
    " Hello 911? Help! My sister is on the floor bleeding. She's been shot."
    "Sean" I hesitated. " What does heaven look like?"
    " I bet it beautiful like you" He smiled. I giggled
    " Ahh, It hurts" I screamed
    " Don't worry Rose help is on the way." I started to close my eyes.
    " Sean?"
    "Yea"
    " I wonder how it feels to die."
