Confused

Chapter 18- I'm Okay (I promise)

Jimmy-

There was no way I was going to let him hurt her. I had to go in there but I'm not the biggest or strongest guy in the world and he'd chew me up and spit me out. I could go back to my house and get Jay but that would take to long. I could go to my car and drive to the corner, call Jay then go back to Alex. Jay would get there in time to save Alex and to save my ass. Yeah that's what I'll do.

"Jay I need you to get to Alex's house," I said into the phone.

"What is she okay?"

"No, it's her step dad he was slapping her and kicking her and I need to get her out of that house but I can't do it by myself. That's why I called you."

"Okay get in there I'll be there as fast as I can."

It was now or never. I had to save Alex.

Mike wasn't that smart, he left the door unlocked. I walked in and listened for any screams. I didn't hear anything. I walked into the kitchen and saw Alex laying on the ground, her arms tied behind her and tape over her mouth. I noticed that Mike wasn't around.

"Alex I'm here I'll help you," I said. She was crying. I knew I had to get her and myself out of this house before Mike came back. First I cut the rope off her wrists. I snagged her arm once with the knife but it was nothing major. Next I slowly as to not hurt Alex anymore than she already was, I pulled the tape off.

"Alex baby are you okay."

"Jimmy please leave I don't want him to hurt you."

"Oh don't worry Alex. It's not him I want to hurt," I turned to see Mike standing before us, a gun pointed at Alex.

"Mike he didn't do anything."

"Bitch, if you were listening I just said I wasn't going to hurt him. It's you I want."

"What does Alex have to do with this," I asked. I was stalling, i hoped he go into some long story about how Alex did something.

"Well let's see Alex do you remember when you were 12 and your dad brought you over to my house?"

"Uhh I think so."

"So you remember telling you dad that you saw me and your mom kissing."

"Uhhh."

"Well your dad and I got into a fight and I was sentenced to 5 years in jail because I shot his ass."

"Oh."

"You have no clue what those year were like. They were HELL. Do you get that? You made my life a livivng hell."

"I didn't know." I had no clue where this was going. I just wanted to get out of here alive with Alex.

"Well now you do," He said loading the gun.

"How is this going to fix anything," I asked.

"You shouldn't be asking questions at a time like this." Where the hell is Jay?

"Mike just let him go. I don't care shoot me but don't hurt Jimmy."

"I'm not going anywhere Alex."

"Have it your way you can sit here an watch her bleed to death." BANG!
