Funny Random Story: I was in the playroom of the hospital, because I wanted to hang out with the kids that are stuck there because of cancer and stuff, and I did what I could with them, since I'm trapped in a wheelchair. I was singing to them and they played with my hair (poor things, most of them were either bald or almost there). I was texting on my phone for a minute while a little girl next to me was reading out-loud…okay, I didn't think much of it since she randomly came and sat down, and began reading. Eventually, she took the small book and smacked me over the head with it and said "HEY! I'm reading to you here! Pay attention!" …damn…she may be suffering from cancer, but she's got some muscle there…cause that hurt.

Live and die in my obsession

27 year old Andre Harris stepped out of his silver 2015 BMW with Beck and Robbie stepping out of the car too. "Beck, this is just madness that you're doing this." Andre said, slamming his door shut, walking onto the sidewalk to his two friends. "You have a wife and kid in the house, which you just moved into, and you want to buy something that could hurt them." He shook his head. "You guys have a funky way of "Starting Over" after the fire."
Beck blinked at him. "Do you think I'm going to use them as target practice or something, dude?" He asked, walking into the store in front of them.
Robbie sighed. "In my opinion, this is too dangerous for something that could kill to be around young Julian."
"Yeah, well, no one asked your opinion, Rob." Beck said as he walked to the counter, taking a look around while he was at it.
A man came from the backroom and stepped up. "Hello boys. How can I assist you today?"
Beck stuck his hands in his pocket. "My family and I are being stalked. I want to buy and register for a gun to help protect ourselves."
"So pretty much the normal household type of weapon of choice, is what you're looking for?" The man asked, leading Beck and the guys towards a certain wall.
Beck nodded. "Yeah, I guess."
The man grabbed a gun off the wall and showed Beck. "Tokarev TT-33 service pistol." He said as Beck stared at it. "It's been shipped in from Russia. The best of its kind. A popular choice for a household handgun, in all honesty."
Beck held it. "Yeah, my father had one like this when he was alive." Beck bit his lip and nodded. "I'll take it."
The man nodded, and took the gun from Beck to clean it and get it ready. Beck held his hand up when Robbie opened his mouth. "Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same exact thing if you were in the same exact position." He said automatically.
Robbie stopped himself and thought about it. He had been married to Trina for almost a year now and they just had a baby named Rex. "I would do anything to protect my family, yes." Robbie shrugged. "Okay, you're right."
"Can I make a suggestion here?" Andre spoke up.
Beck rolled his eyes and looked to him. "What?"
"Let's go to the shooting range after this and call Mr. Vega, see if he'll meet us there." Andre said with seriousness. "If you don't learn how to shoot that thing, the only thing you'll get a good aim at is your ass."
Beck nodded in thought. "This is true. I'll blow my foot off before I even have a chance to defend my home."
"Exactly." Andre said, pulling out his phone. "I'll call my daddy-in-law." Andre and Tori had been married for over a year now, with a baby on the way.
Beck smirked as Robbie chuckled. "He allows you to call him that?" Beck asked.
"Pssh, no, and if he found out I did, he'd probably shoot my own ass himself." Andre said, putting the phone to his ear, grinning.
Beck nodded. "I'll be sure to hold that against you."
Mr. Vega shook his head with exhaustion. "You, Beck Oliver, are a hopeless idiot when it comes to shooting a gun." He said as Beck was struggling to hold the gun right.
Beck glared at him. "Sorry, my arms are a little shaky from the feel of it shooting." He said in an annoyed tone.
"Sure, you are." Mr. Vega chuckled. "Try again."
Beck put the protective glasses back on as he made sure his ear plugs felt okay in his ears. He kept a good grip on the gun, trying his hardest not to shake, and pressed the trigger when he thought he had a good aim.
BANG!
Beck flinched and closed his eyes. He opened one eye. "Did I hit the target?" He asked, taking off his glasses.
Mr. Vega slapped his forehead. "No, but congratulations on hitting the OTHER GUY'S target."
Beck blinked and looked next to him, and the guy was glaring at him, pointing to his paper target, which he hit perfectly. "Oh, oops." He gave the guy a nervous grin. "SORRY!" He called out. Beck rolled his eyes as he heard Andre and Robbie laughing their asses off, watching him from the benches. "Well, at least I hit a target." Beck shrugged.
"Unbelievable." Mr. Vega muttered, and then sighed deeply. "Okay, Beck, you bought this gun and you're learning to use this gun to protect your family, correct?" He asked with a serious tone.
Beck nodded, confused on where the older man was going with this. "Yeah."
"Okay then." Mr. Vega stepped closer to Beck. "We are about to get very serious and personal here, Beck, alright?"
Beck bit his lip, but nodded again. "Okay."
Mr. Vega pointed to the target, making Beck point the gun at it. "Don't shoot it yet until I say to." He ordered, and Beck nodded. "The target before you…that is the woman who's been taunting you." Beck's eyes widened, understanding where Mr. Vega was going with this. "That blonde haired woman, who has tried to kill you, Cat, Julian, and she's already taken Nathaniel. She's standing right before you, Beck. Right there. What if she has Cat with her? What if she has Cat or Julian hostage? What if she's about to hurt them?" Beck's veins were burning an unhealthy anger. "You HAVE to protect your family, but you have to have the stamina and ability to aim at the woman!" Mr. Vega said strongly. "You are the man, and you WILL protect Cat and Julian!" He stepped back. "Shoot the woman who's hurting your wife and child, Beck. NOW!"
BANG!
Mr. Vega smirked as Beck was glaring daggers at the target before him, and he wasn't shaking, nor did he close his eyes or flinch at the sound and feel. "Perfect."
Beck realized where he hit. The middle circle of HIS paper target. To him though, all he saw was the woman's face, and the new bullet hole through her forehead. Cat and Julian were safe and sound. He was fine. And they were okay. She better not come around again. Beck inwardly snarled. I'll kill her if she dares to touch my wife or my son. I'LL KILL HER!
Cat, Tori, and Jade were at the new house, unpacking a few boxes here and there. Cat sighed deeply as she took a photo frame out of being wrapped in newspaper and stared dreamily at the photo. It was the Family Christmas Photo from the holiday before. Nathaniel was in the picture as well…a tear came to Cat's eye.
Tori came up with sad eyes, rubbing Cat's back. "You are so strong, Cat…like seriously, I don't know how you've done it. I wouldn't have survived." She put a hand on her pregnant stomach. "I already love my daughter on the way, and I haven't even met her."
Jade came over and gave Cat a hug. "You're a good mom. Remember that?"
Cat nodded slowly. "Yeah…"
And then Tori and Jade's eyes widened in surprise as Cat collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears and sobbing violently. They were glad Julian was at Trina's house, having a playdate with Rex.
Jade leaned down and wrapped her arms around Cat's small figure. "You're a good wife, mom, and friend, Cat. You need to know that. You have NEVER let anyone down. You're a good person…and we all love you." She wiped a few tears away. "You're my hero."

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 8: Monster
"Into my car, move it!" He dragged her to the front door, but Cat kicked it shut before her. The man was fed up as he removed his hand and then pushed her towards the nearest wall, making her cry out in pain. "That's what you get."
Cat recovered quickly as she reached for the gun, but the man grabbed a patch of her hair, and yanked her up and onto her feet. Cat whimpered. "Let me go!"
"Your husband isn't home, I see?" The man questioned with a sick grin, ignoring Cat's pleads. "Well, in that case…" He pushed Cat against a wall, suddenly putting a hand up her shirt.
