Hi...Please review? :)
The world seemed to slow down for a moment.
Then it all came crashing down on Mordecai.
"D-Dad?" Mordecai stammered face paled.
William's face was cold, and unforgiving. He had a snarl on his lips.
C.J's grip around Mordecai's arm was tightening by the seconded, but Mordecai didn't care.
"W-What are you doing?!" Mordecai yelled suddenly, surprising himself, C.J and his parents with the sudden burst of volume.
Elanor had gone over to William's side now, and had a sinister smirk on her face.
"I really thought you'd be smarter than this Mordecai." Elanor stated, crossing her arms.
"What?" Mordecai stuttered, taking a half step in front of C.J.
"I mean...you always had such perfect grades. It seems you have forgotten everything we taught you." Elanor finished.
"J-Just...Just put the gun down." Mordecai almost commanded, a bead of sweat forming on his brow.
William rolled his eyes, "You are the reason we spent SIX YEARS in prison...Revenge is going to be served dear son." William said the last part as if the two words had the worst meaning.
"Fine." Mordecai said.
"What?" Elanor snarled, confused.
"Okay. You can have your revenge on me. Go ahead. But let C.J go. She has done nothing to you." Mordecai spat.
C.J gasped, "What?! Mordecai, you can't be-"
"Serious. Go C.J. Run." Mordecai interrupted
"I-...I can't leave you!" C.J cried, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"You have to!" Mordecai yelled.
He leaned down and kissed C.J on the lips, so passionately, like it was the last time ever.
Elanor walked over to the door and unlocked it, opening it just wide enough for a person C.J's size to fit through.
C.J looked into Mordecai's eyes one last time before squeezing through the door, the sound of her running foot steps fading.
"Great. Now we only have a matter of minutes before the girl calls the police.!" William seethed, gun still pointed at Mordecai.
"Then what are you waiting for?!" Mordecai asked.
"Excuse me?" Elanor snapped.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! JUST SHOOT ME!" Mordecai yelled, beads of sweat streaming down the side of his face.
Elanor and William both looked a little stunned from their son's outburst.
William pulled back on the gun, chambering a round.
