Aaron looked at me.
"What in the hell was that?" He asked.
I started running towards the bedroom.
When I got there I noticed that Adam, and my mom were wrestling on the floor.
"Aaron, go and call the police." I told him.
"But..." I cut him off.
"GO!" I screamed.
I ran over to where they were fighting. I kicked the gun out of the way. Adam slammed my mom onto me. Aaron was over by the bed calling the police. I fell over.
"Ouch, that is going to leave a mark."
Adam grabbed the gun. He ran over to Aaron, knocked him down. I tried to get over there but my mom tripped me.
"He's armed. Don't be stupid." Mom shouted.
"I don't care. I would die for Aaron." I started to get up, but my mom held me down.
"Adam what do you want sweetheart?" Aaron asked.
"You. I only want you. Lets go." Adam grabbed Aaron's arm and started to shove him.
I was getting really angry. My mom was trying her all to keep me down.
"Adam, I don't want to go with you. I told you before. It can't ever be."
"You will learn to love me again."
"I already love you. I am just not in love with you.
Why would I want to go with you now? You are trying to kill people to be with me? Adam you need help sweetheart." Aaron said.
Adam pulled the gun up to Aaron's head.
"If I can't have you nobody can." Adam said.
I kicked mom off. I stood up and backed away.
"Adam lets talk about this. Do you honestly think that this is going to solve anything?"
"Does it matter?" Adam shouted. He was starting to sob.
"You can't use my answers." I smiled. "Adam we all love you. You don't need to do anything like this. Something can be worked out."
"No, it can't. It will never be worked out."
"Adam please don't do this." Aaron said. "At least can I have a couple requests?"
"What? What do you want?" Adam said.
Mom started standing. I heard sirens on the way. She looked at me then looked at he ankle. I knew what she was talking about. She was still armed. My mind started thinking.
"Hey Adam. You want to know something?" I asked. "You remember when I first met you all. You remember when you came to my house warming? Guess what?"
I looked at Aaron.
"Fuck you Zac." Adam pointed the gun at me. He was doing exactly what I wanted him to do.
"You give up?" I asked.
I heard pounding on the door. It was the police. I looked over at mom.
**"Mom, gehen der Polizei erklären, die alles okay ist. Bitten Sie sie, einen Krankenwagen zu erreichen. Steigen Sie dann in das Badezimmer ein, und werden Sie fertig, ihn zu schießen. Beenden Sie ihn nicht. Verstehen Sie?" I hope my German is good.
"Ok Zac." Mom started walking towards the door. "What in the hell did you just tell her Zac?" Adam shouted.
"I told her to go and tell the police that everything is ok, and sorry about the phone call it was a misunderstanding. We don't need to police."
"Wanna fucking bet Zac? I am going to blow your fucking brains out!" Adam shouted.
"Then fucking do it Adam." I shouted. "Would you like me to fucking help you with that? Would you like me to put my head against the barrel for you?"
"Zac stop it. Adam think about what you are doing." Aaron said calmly. "Think about the consequences. I wont get to see you again."
Adam was looking at Aaron. I saw mom out the corner of my eye in the bathroom. She was in position. I made my move.
I ran towards Aaron. I knocked him out of the way. I heard a gunshot. Or was it two? My arm hurts. Was I shot? If I was, I am going to be pissed. I just got out of the hospital. I don't want to go back.
My mom came running out of the bathroom.
"You boys ok?" She asked.
"Yeah, I think so. Was I shot mommy?"
"No, but your shoulder might have gotten jammed. You slammed into Aaron hard hun."
"Yeah, I don't know if I am going to be able to bend over for a month. My stomach hurts."
I looked over at Adam. His eyes were open. Was he dead? I saw then gun by his hand. I grabbed it, and handed it to mom. I looked back at Adam, tears were forming in his eyes.
"Adam, are you ok?" I asked.
I got up off of Aaron, and crawled over to Adam. Mom shot him in the leg. He was bleeding pretty bad. I grabbed a towel that was on the floor. I held it up to his leg, and put some pressure on it.
"Mom, go and see if the ambulance is here."
She left to do that.
I looked at Aaron, he started to follow mom.
"Don't worry Adam, everything is going to be ok." I said comforting him.
"Zac, I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking." He said crying.
"It's ok, we are going to work everything out. I promise."
