Chapter Six

Jason

Work is the only thing keeping me from calling Bella. I take every double shift I can get, every detail available to me, but nothing keeps me from thinking about her.

The memory of her soft body under mine makes me hot with lust. Cold showers and constant work is the only remedy.

Stopping at a local restaurant for take-out, my cell phone rings.

The panicked voice on the other end of the line tells me all I need to know.

I do my best to reassure her.

“I’m on my way. Hang up and run to the neighbors. I’ll be there in less than ten minutes.”

I hang up the phone and head out the door.

My mother never calls me, but this time, she had no choice. The terror in her voice makes my heart race.

I know what’s going on. I’ve heard her begging him to stop many times before. I know what I’m up against when I get inside the house. I only worry that I won’t get there in time. Being pulled over won’t help the situation, but I can’t slow down now.

I park my car in front of the house and run to the front door. I can hear him shouting at her, and then a crashing sound. When I get inside, he has her pinned against the wall, his hand on her neck.

Instinct tells me to keep my gun in its holster.

“Take your hands off her.”

My father turns to look at me, but never releases her.

“Well, if it isn’t Mommy’s little boy. Come to fight your daddy, little boy?”

“I said let her go.”

He grips her tighter.

I have no choice. I pull my gun, pointing it at his face.

“Don’t make me do this.”

It isn’t a plea; it’s a threat.

He removes his hand from her neck, and she falls to the floor. He mocks me as he moves closer.

“So you think you can beat me, boy? You don’t have the balls to pull that trigger.”

I’m sweating now, but my hands are steady, and I feel power. I feel stronger by the minute, and I make sure he knows it.

“I’m not afraid of you, old man. You’ve made our lives miserable all these years. I’d be doing the world a favor killing you. I’ve killed before, remember?”

My mother stands and moves toward me.

“Jason. Baby, you don’t want to do this. You won’t be able to undo it. Your future will be over if you kill him. I can’t lose you. Please. Put the gun away.”

My father turns and slaps my mother across the face.

“Stay out of this. Your son is about to learn a hard lesson.”

He walks toward me, his hands forming fists.

“Your mother’s right. Put the gun away and fight me like a man. That is, if you’ve the guts to.”

His face is red, and what seems like a lunge toward me is instead the contortions of a man about to fall to the ground.

I keep the gun on him, as he falls, clutching his left arm.

I put the gun away and bend over him, placing my fingers on the pulse of his neck.
