So far the votes are for Ethan in highschool. Keep voting there's still time. Back to the story!

He came out of the dark smiling.

"Hello lover."

"Your delusional." I said taking a step towards my bed. I had a knife under my pillow. Dad made me keep it there in case of emergancies.

"You looking for this?" He said pulling out the knife from his pocket. "I tell you the more I learn about you and your family-"

"Why are you doing this? Why me?" I was freaking out.

"Because I want you Megan. Isn't that enough? But all you did was laugh behind my back to Kathy!"

"That's a lie. I never even thought once about you!"

"MEGAN! WHAT"S GOING ON!" Dad's voice sounded behind the locked door. He was rattling the door knob.

"You better tell daddy to leave or-" He pulled out a gun. "I'll shoot whoever gets in my way."

"DAD LEAVE!" I tried.

"MEGAN I"M NOT LEAVING YOU!" Dad yelled.

"HE HAS A GUN! HE"LL SHOOT ALL OF YOU!"

Then I heard grandpa trying to get mom out of the house.

"You know the cops already on there way?" I said. I couldn't take my eyes off of the gun.

"Shame to hear that."

My eyes went wide. "Don't hurt them I'll do anything you want!"

"Your going to anyways." He said. He grabbed my arm and yanked the door open. Thank god I didn't see my dad in the hall. "We're going for a little ride." He said dragging me downstairs. Siren's wailed and I could see lights flashing in the front.

"BRAD COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" An officer yelled.

"If I'm going down I'm taking you with me." he said.

"No!" I said scared.

All of a sudden I heard a gun go off then Brad fell on top of me. I screamed.

"MEGAN!" Dad said yanking Brad's body off of me.

"DADDY!" I cried into his chest.

The cops rolled in the house and check Brad for a pulse. "He's alive. Get an ambulance." A officer said.

"How can he be alive?" Dad yelled.

"Sir this time he's not getting out of jail."

"Yeah right." He said.

Mom and dad were tucking me in bed. I couldn't stop shaking.

"You want to sleep in our room? I can take your bed and you can sleep with your mom." Dad said.

"No. I'm not going to let him run me out of my own room." I said.

"Good for you honey." mom said kissing me on my head.

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Dad answered. "You sure? Thank you." He hung up.

"Who was it?" mom asked.

"That was one of the officers that arrested him tonight. Brad died on the operating table." Dad said smiling.

"It's over?" I asked not believing it.

"Yeah. It's over." Dad said.

I closed my eyes.

The next day I woke up and went downstairs. I saw dried blood on the carpet. I closed my eyes trying to shut it out.

"Megan it's okay." Dad said. I opened my eyes. "Your mom's already got the carpet people coming by today. I thought maybe we could spend the day together."

"Where's grandpa?"

"He went over to Sam's to visit with Ethan. And I've got a suprise for you." He said grinning.
