Messed Up. - 1. Confused.

I woke up to the sound of shouting, I could hear my mother downstairs yelling.

*sigh* why does she always have to be this way. Ever since she her new boyfriend two years ago she changed, she's so dark now.

I laid there in bed, trying to block out the noise when I heard it.

The loud bang followed by the cry from my brother.

I've never lept out of bed so quick in my life.

I ran down the stairs, the scene appearing to me slowly. My brother was at the other side of the room, tears flowing from his eyes as he screamed out to me.

I looked around and saw him, Daniel. My mothers boyfriend from hell. He was drunk but that wasn't the height of my concerns, in his hand - a gun.

The color drained from my face as I stared at my mother, he had shot but missed her, she was crying her eyes out.

"SHUT UP WOMAN!" Daniel yelled at her.

"I've had about enough of your bitchy whining, the whole lot of ya.. especially YOU"

He turned his gaze towards me.

"You little FAGGOT, I saw the magazines under your bed, I refuse to let gay filth roam this earth."

That's when my life flashed before my eyes.

It was over quick but the thought still haunts me to this day.

He pulled up his gun, aiming it towards me, I shrieked and looked around for an escape but I was too late.

His finger crept towards the trigger, his gaze focused on me.

He pulled it.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" The shriek from my mother, she lept... she took the bullet.

She dropped down infront of me. Daniel turning around in shock and running out the door.

"ADAM CALL THE FUCKING POLICE!!" I yelled as I took off my jacket, turning my bleeding mother on her side and wrapping it tight around her wound and holding pressure on it.

I wiped her tears from her face as she stared up at me, I now was crying too.

"I-I'm sorry mum.." I croaked out.

She stared at me and groaned.

"I-I-I.. l-love you......" She struggled out.

"Don't leave me ma" I cried. "I need you!"

She smiled slightly, her eyes slowly slipping shut as I cried out. The sirens were just pulling up outside as the paramedics rushed in, putting her on a stretcher and carrying her away.

The cops came in and asked us what happened, taking any evidence like Daniel's gun which he dropped on the side.

"Have you guys got any other family you can stay with while this is ongoing?" The cop asked us, he was nice enough - brown hair, dark tinted glasses.

"Errm, I guess I can call our uncle" I croaked out, blushing slightly at my voice crack.

"What's his name?" The cop asked.

"Craig." I replied.

He smiled at me as I pulled out my phone and began the long, painful conversation - explaining everything that had happened, holding back the tears the whole time.

About half way through the cop asked to talk to craig, they spoke for a while about a bunch of stuff, I tried to not let Adam hear by taking him into the living room.

"Here, he needs to speak to you" The cop said passing me my phone back.

"I need to grab some clothes but I should be with you in about an hour, if you go to the hospital with your mother I'll pick you up from there." Craig said down the phone to me.

"Okay, thanks uncie" I said, relief washing over me.

"No worries kiddo, I'm so sorry this has all happened. Send my love to Adam as well for me" He said before he hung up.

I put the phone down and gave Adam a tight hug.

"That's from uncle craig" I said softly.

"If you guys go and get ready to go I'll drop you at the hospital, your mothers ambulance left already" The cop said to us.

"Oh.. t-thank you so much" I croaked.

I got together our coats and shoes, tying Adams laces as his hands were too shaky. I gave him a tight hug and a kiss on the neck as I carried him out and put him in the back of the police car.

"Ready to go?" the cop said to me.

"Yup. Let's go."

Well that brings us to the end of chapter one!
I have more on the way soon, alot more happier stuff so stay tuned
