/thanks for the reviews. I will make a summary and I also tried to make the chapter look longer. thanks for helping me!
Lena ran downstairs to the phone. She heard a lot of noise from upstairs and prayed Stef was fine.
''Mike? you need to get here. There is a man and he-'' before she could finish what she was saying she heard the gun go off.
In trance she droped the phone and walked upstairs. She felt like the whole world had stopped and she didn't care if the man was stil there.
When she opened the door she had never felt such a relieve. She saw Stef heavily breathing on the ground with the gun still pointed at the man. The man had a bullet in his chest and was lying in a pool of blood. Stef lowered the gun and stood up. She walked to Lena and took her in her arms. That's when Lena broke down.
10 minutes later Mike came into the house. '
'Stef? Lena?''
''Upstairs.'' Stef yelled.
Mike came into the room followed by some other officers. Mike saw Stef and Lena sitting on the ground.
''Ambulances are on their way. Why don't you both go downstairs already.'' Mike said. Stef pulled Lena up and they walked downstairs.
The whole neighbourhood had gatthered around the policeline, all wanting to know what was going on.
The first ambulance came and Stef told them to check Lena out. Neither of them wanted to go to the hospital so they did it in the ambulance. When the second one came Stef got checked out too.
that afternoon the police got their statements and the crime-scene was cleaned and cleared. They were free to go home. Mike brought them home and stayed for when the kids would come home.
Stef opened the door and they walked in. Mike immediately walked to the garden to give them some privacy. Lena was still standing in front of the door. '
'I know you're scared but why don't we go upstairs and just get it over with.'' Stef suggested.
''Maybe you're right.'' Stef held out her hand and Lena placed hers into it.
They walked to the bedroom and everything was cleaned. No more blood on the ground and the broken chair was gone too. Lena let out the breath she was holding since they walked into the house.
''I'm sorry.'' Stef said.
''For what?''
''For this. He came here for me and now he hurt you too.''
''It's not your fault.''
''Then why does it feel like it is.'' Stef said and she looked down to her hands.
''Stef look at me. I'm fine. He didn't hurt me. He didn't.''
They heard a knock on the door and Lena jumped a little.
''Yes?'' Stef answered and the door opened. Mike came in.
''Your kids are downstairs. I explained it a bit to them but I thought I would leave the rest to you. I'm headed home now. Take care of each other.'' Mike said and he walked out.
''What do we tell the kids?'' Stef asked.
''I don't know but we can't hide up here forever.'' They stood up and walked downstairs. Holding hands to support each other. All the kids were in the kitchen. Mariana and Brandon were the first ones to stand up and hug their moms. The rest followed after that. Stef and Lena never let go of each other.
