Chapter 6

Carter

I’m waiting by my car for Maddy to get out of class and I have to admit that I am nervous. I planned something for her today and I don’t know whether she is going to freak out about it or not. I am taking her to a shooting range because I want her to know how to use a gun.

With everything that has happened with Chris, I have been wanting to get a gun, but I also want her to know how to use one. My uncles hunt a lot so I know how to shoot. I will just feel much safer about going to work if I know she can protect herself.

“Hey, you daydreaming?”

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw her. She is still the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her against me. “I want to take you somewhere today but I want you to keep an open mind, ok?”

“Ok, where did you want to go?”

“I want to take you to the shooting range and teach you how to handle a gun. I also want us to get one. It will just give me peace of mind when I need to leave you.” I felt her body go stiff and I knew the idea scared her. “Please Maddy, I promise that you will be fine, ok?”

She nodded her head and then got into the car. I hope I am doing the right thing here, I understand that the idea of guns scare her, but the thought of her alone and helpless scares me more. We didn’t talk the whole car ride over because I was trying to respect the fact that she was scared. When we pulled up to the range I turned to face her and grabbed her hand.

“You will be okay. I promise. I understand that the only experience you have ever had with one was that night, but you will be fine.”

I got out of the car and walked over to her side. Once she was out of the car she wrapped her arms around me. I think she might have actually been shaking. We walked in, I paid for our time, and we rented the guns.

When we got to the lane we were assigned to I put everything down and turned to face her. “Ok, this is not going to be as bad as you were imagining. I know that you are scared, but everything will be absolutely fine.” I picked up the 9mm and loaded it. “When you take the gun, you are going to extend your arms out straight and grip the gun with both hands. Do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.”

She reluctantly takes the gun from my hand and I can see that she is shaking. She turns to face the target that is in her lane.

“Close your left eye, line the front sight in between the back sights.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is going to be a notch on the front of the gun and two on the back.
