vol.1 chapter 3

I went home and got a talking to. My Mother said "Start talking. From start to finish of everything that happened." I said "We arrived at the party. Andrew got a drink. John warned me to break up with him because when John stopped dating Andrew, Andrew tried to kill John and even said if he told anyone he would kill John and his family. Soon Andrew came with his drink. He asked what was going on and I lied and said we were talking about school. He knew I was lying so he grabbed my arm and we came to the bathroom and their I lied to him again and he squeezed my hand hard because I lied again. So after that I eventually told the truth of John said to me and told him. We screamed at eachother. I kicked him in the balls. I walk out of the house on the street thinking I'm safe. All the sudden theirs a car speeding up. It stops and the Andrew shout from the car and says he would kill me. He tried to kill me by chasing me with his car and tried to shot me with his gun. I called the 911. Andrew had asked what I was doing so I told him and drove away. Then I called dad and he picked me up and drove me here." After that my parents were trying to digest what I just said. Eventually my mom said "It's a good thing you called the police. Hopefully the cops will catch him. But until we hear any news you can go to bed." I did what my mother said and got ready for bed. I brushed my teeth and went to bed. Things were normal until I heard a strange noise.  At first, I thought it was the cat but to make sure I went and got up to see what that noise was.

  I grab a flashlight. It sounded like it was coming from the back door.  I turn to see the back door.  I screamed my head off.

"Andrew?!  What the hell are you doing here?!"

At this point, he was by the electric fuse box. 

" I was in a neighborhood saying hi?

"Nice try asshole,  I'm not stupid.  Why are you here?

I could tell he was drunk.  By my screaming my family probably heard it and probably going to check on me.  And I was right.  They came to find out what was going on. My parents came rushing. 

"Is everything alright-OH MY LORD!  Who the hell are you and why are you in my house?!"  My mom said getting a knife out and pointing it at Andrew. 

"Mom calm down. This is Andrew.  My boyfriend.  I don't exactly know why he's here.  As a matter of fact, Why are you here Andrew?"

"Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! He just chased you with his car and tried to shot you! Now he's in my house?! No way am I calming down." 

"What she said" my father added.

"Mom.  Dad.  Let him speak.  Please?"

"I was still mad about you so I decided to tech you a lesson."  Andrew said. 

"And you thought about doing that by standing by the fuse box?"  My mom asked.  "No by shutting your electricity off and removing the buttons."He replied.

"Welp that's it I'm calling 911."

   Just then Andrew opened something from his bag.  It was alcohol.  He broke it on the wall grabbed me, pointed the broken bottle by my neck, and said "Do it and he gets it." 

"Mom do it!  I'll be fine!"

"No, I won't!  Not if it's going to get you hurt." 

"Alright everyone calm down.  Let's settle this like normal people. Give the bottle to me and we won't call the police."  My dad said.  He was so calm.   I think he was trying to compromise.  

"You promise you won't call the police?" Andrew said

"Promise."

   He put the bottle down and gave it to my dad.  He let me go.  I tried to watch my step since there was glass from the bottle on the floor.  We had to show the light of the flashlight so I wouldn't step on any.  I made it out safe. 

  My parents hugged me tight and wouldn't let me go.  Just then my sister came in.  She screamed.  She got a pan and was about to hit him when I said" No!  We're fine." "But he's in our house." She said. 

"I know but we're fine." 

    Just then we hear sirens outside.  I checked out the window.  It was the police.   "YOU LIED!  I TRUSTED YOU! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!" Andrew yelled.  "Andrew!  Please! We didn't call the police!  I promise!"  I replied.   

"Well then who did?!"  Just then we hear a knock.  My parents go out slowly to the front door and open it.  "Hello police officer.  What's seems to be the problem." My mom says.  "We got the call from the neighborhood for being too loud and nosy.  You have a party?"

"Um no actually.  Andrew my son's boyfriend broke into our house and threatened to kill us. Threaten to kill my son.  Keep in mind he's drunk and under 21 so."

"I understand.  Well, Andrew.  You're under arrest."

    He came in and arrested Andrew and put him in the police car.  None of us were hurt but there was minor damage like glass on the floor and some damage to the electric fuse box.   My mom tried to turn the lights on and it wouldn't budge.  She remembered that Andrew had taken some of the buttons out of the fuse box.  For a drunk man, I have no idea how he did that one.   Keep in mind it's also a very old house so it's very fragile.

   My mom decided to call her friend Angel. 

"Hey, Angel." My mom said on the phone to her friend.  She put Angel on speakerphone. "Hey Barb what's going on?"  "Long story but my son's boyfriend broke into our house and shut and broke some of the buttons in our electric fuse box do you think we can stay at your house for a little bit while we get things situated?" 

"Sure."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem."

   She hung up the phone and said "Okay here's what we're going to do.  Kids get your shoes on.  We're going to get our suitcases.  Grab some clothes for tonight and a few days. And get in the car.  Also, get your things like toothbrushes, etc.".   We did exactly that.  I put my shoes on.  Packed some of my stuff. Dad warmed the car while this was happening.  Grabbed a coat and went outside and put my stuff in the car. 

  Eventually, we all got done and started heading out to my mom's friend's house.  Lucky for us it's in the city and 30 minutes away.  The bad part is it's far away from school but at least we're safe that's all that matters.   Also, keep in mind it was 2:00 in the morning.  Everyone is tired or was but not after what happened tonight.  I felt bad about what happened. 

"You will break up with him."  My dad said. 

"I know," I replied.  "Why did you even date him in the first place?" My younger sister Betty asked.    "Cause I loved him and I didn't want to be alone."  I replied.  "Oh, honey.  You don't have to stay in a relationship just because you think you have to." My mom said.  "I know that now,"  I replied.
