Love Is Deadly

Chapter Five

"MOM"!

My mom lays on the floor in a small pool of blood with a stab wound in her stomach.

I frantically rush over to the house phone and grab it quickly dialing 911.

"911 what is your emergency".

"My mother has been stabbed in the stomach please send help she isn't breathing"!

"Ma'am calm down help is on the way. What is the address".

"14362 Sway Ave".

"Alright help is on the way". I hang up and sit down by my mother and hold her limp body in my arms.

"Please be okay mom". I cry and run my hands through her hair waiting for the ambulance to arrive which thankfully, it doesn't take too long.

The ambulance rushed in and placed her on a gurney and were quick to rush her to the hospital.

A policeman walks in with 2 other officers and they begin to investigate while one of them walks over to me.

"Is it alright if I ask you a few questions"?

"Yes, of course".

"When was the last time you saw your mother"?

"Last night. By the time I woke up this morning they were already gone ".

"Okay and did she seem weird last night or was everything normal"?

"Yes, we invited new neighbors over and we had dinner. She seemed fine".

"Okay did you say your father went to work with her this morning? Did they get in an argument last night"?

"No they both seemed fine".

"Alright and one last question, does your mother have any colleagues that have any problems with your mother"?

"Not that I know of".

"Alright, we'll keep you updated if we find anything". The police officer says, shaking my hand.

The other two officers left with the one who questioned me and I walked outside behind them to see they walked over to Noah's house.

I walk back inside, lock the door, and then grab a scrub and cleaning supplies to clean up the blood from the living room.

As I'm scrubbing the carpet there's a knock on the door and I get walking over to the door.

"Who is it".

"Noah".

I open the door and Noah stands there looking at me.

"Hey, what's up"?

"You alright? I hear about your mom. The police just came over and interrogated the f**k out of me". He says walking into the house standing by the door.

I close the door and he follows me into the living room.

"I don't know what happened. I don't know who could have done this". I sigh, taking a break from scrubbing and sitting next to Noah on the couch.

"I'm sorry love". He pats my back softly and when I look at him he pulls away.

"Where's your broth-". As Noah asks, the door opens to my brother.

"Ava what the f**k happened"! Josh screams looking at the mess on the carpet then looks to Noah.

"YOU DID THIS YOU f*****g BASTARD"! Josh screams, taking a hold of Noah by his collar and starts to choke him while Noah fights back.

"Josh stop"! I yell and Josh looks at me letting go of Noah and Noah dust off his shirt looking angry.

"What the hell is your problem"! I yell as Josh paces back and forth across the room.

"What the hell is my problem? If you didn't come home so late then maybe you could have prevented this happening. I had to hear it from someone down the street that my mom was being rushed to the hospital"! Josh screams at me and Noah sits back on the couch, head in his hands.

"Oh, so this is now my fault? Josh I was at school. I got home a little after usual. It was only 5 minutes. Mom was probably lying there longer. Josh you can't blame for something I couldn't control". Tears holding back, I get angrier and Josh huffs.

"Why is he in our house"? Josh glares at Noah and ignores everything I just told him.

"He came over to ask if everything was alright". I shrug and Josh tightens his jaw.

"Get him out of the house. It was probably his fault this happened anyway". Josh said angrily.

"It wasn't me who did it, do you not get that"! Noah screams at Josh and before they can fight again I stop them.

"What is going on"!

"Go on and tell her Noah" Josh crosses his arms

"f**k you". Noah mumbles angrily, then walks out the house slamming the door behind him.

"This is all your fault". Josh mutters before walking upstairs to his room slamming the door.

I give up on the carpet and put all the cleaning supplies up and go upstairs to go take a shower.

In the middle of my shower I hear the door slam and I quickly get out, wrapping a towel around my body and drying my hair with another.

I hurry up and throw a big t-shirt over my head and shorts underneath and head downstairs to see why the front door slammed.

I see my dad pacing back and forth on the phone.

"Is she ok"! He screams through the phone.

"I'm on my way". He mumbles grabbing his keys, noticing I'm standing there.

"I'm going to check on your mother at the hospital. I'll be back later". He says rushing out the door.

I finish drying my hair and throw it up in a messy bun then sit on my bed and open my computer. I think of an idea for my book so I begin to type.

'Once upon a time there was this boy....
