Travis isn't the only one with a nightmare that involves Paul.

Chapter 11: Jonah's Nightmare

An hour passed by and Jonah was asleep, then he groaned in his sleep like there's something wrong. He was tossing and turning and just feeling kinda anxious in his sleep. He panted heavily and kept talking in his sleep.

"What are you doing? What are you doing to my mom? What do you want from me?" he asked, sleepily.

Nightmare

In his dream, Jonah was only eight years old, scared in his bed, hearing his mom and Paul arguing loudly and he couldn't stand to hear it at such a young age. He felt that it was scary and something bad might happen.

He hears glass breaking, screaming at the top of their lungs and punches thrown. Jonbah was shaking so badly that it was simply that horrible and disturbing to hear. He got up from his bed, a little timid, slowly creeping out of the door, hoping no one would see him and as he got to the stairs, he sees something totally horrible.

"What are you doing to me?" his mother asked.

Paul holds a gun at his hand and said, "This is what happens when someone tries to dump me. You better not leave me anymore."

"I've had it up to here with you treating me like this!"

"Why?"

"For one thing, you're beating on me and you're also hurting my kids!"

"They're MY kids, too!"

"STEPKIDS! Why did I ever re-marry you in the first place?"

"First of all, I forced you to propose to me when we started dating, but you were turning me down."

"My kids needed someone to take care of them, not to bring harm to them!"

"They need to learn how to respect me and so do you!"

"How can it happen if you don't respect me?"

Paul punched her in the face and she fell down to the floor and shouted, "YOU SHUT UP! I hate it when you disrespect me!"

Her face was bloodied up and asked, "YOU disrespect me!"

"YOU SHUT UP, YOU MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A WOMAN! You're my second wife, so you better get used to me! I've had it up to here and your little midget kids!"

She couldn't stand to hear what he said and told him, "Take that back!"

"Why, so you could wait for another person like your deadbeat husband?"

"Don't you dare speak that way about Carlos! You're not even half the man he was!"

Paul was seething, so he slapped her in the face, then he climbed onto the coffee table and bodyslammed her down to the ground. Then, he lunged at her face and kept punching her all around and pushed her down the wall. Then, he picked up his crowbar and bashed her all over. Jonah couldn't bear to witness this happen to his own mother like that. His mother tried to get up, all beaten and bloodied up and when she tried to leave, Paul grabbed her by the ankle and dragged her to him and said, "If you ever leave me, I will kill you."

"I'd like to see you try!"

Paul picks up his gun and points it to her and then, he pushes her down the ground, screaming, "YOU ARE WORTHLESS! I can't believe you'd mother these kids!"

"They're my kids! I can't have you treating them like this!"

Paul's patience was wearing thin, so he decided to end it by ending her life. He points the gun at her and said, "If I can't have you, nobody can!"

"STOP!"

Paul looked up and saw Jonah upstairs, crying. He looks at him with tears in his eyes and said, "Please don't hurt my mom."

"You shut up, you little brat! And stop crying!"

The tears keep rolling down his face and Jonah said, "Please leave my mom alone."

"SHUT UP!"

"You don't talk to my Jonah like that!"

Paul was fed up with it, so he shot four bullets at Jonah's mom and when Jonah saw this, he closed his eyes and started screaming. Then, Paul turned to Jonah and plans to chase him down, Jonah backed away slowly and ran back to his room, and Paul fiercely ran up to his room, but as soon as he got there, the door was locked. He knocked on his door as loud as it could go. Jonah was hiding under the covers of his bed, just screaming, "GO AWAY!"

"I'm coming for you, you little brat!"

"NO!"

Paul felt totally furious, so he backed away and then, rams to the door. As soon as Paul burst through the door, Jonah was screaming and he was hiding under the covers and then, Paul removed the covers and Jonah was there, just crying and feeling really scared.

He grabbed him by the ankle and said, "You shouldn't have gotten in our way!"

"Why did you kill my mom?"

"Maybe you ought to join her?"

"Don't kill me, please!"

Paul fiercely hung Jonah on his closet hook near the door and Paul aimed the gun at him and Jonah screamed, "No, please! PLEASE!"

Then, he fires one shot at him and then two more and suddenly, one last shot.

BANG!

Back to reality

Jonah woke up screaming loudly, with sweat coming out of his head. He panted heavily and sees that he's back to his room. He laid his head against the pillow and just started breaking down in tears. Even though it didn't really happen-because it was a nightmare-, he seemed very vulnerable when his mom got killed by Paul.

He whispered, with tears in his eyes, "Mom, why did you leave me? Why did you leave us behind with Paul? I wish you would've protected us."

He cried behind his pillow and cried himself to sleep, just vulnerable and lonely and full of sadness about everything he felt about Paul. He's got the feeling that everything isn't gonna be okay for Jonah and his brothers.

Is this sad or what? Poor Jonah. Hope ya'll like it! Stay tuned for more!
