love hurts. (completed)

saving comes at a cost

I walked downstairs, arm wrapped around my ribs, as I whimpered with each step. I didn't even wanna see Daniel after what he did to me. But if I didn't go to him, it would happen all over again. Probably ten times as hard.

"Pamela!"

I heard Daniel call as I walked into the kitchen. Then I realized that he was Ethan in his arms. When I went with Daniel, he made me promise that only and I took care of the kids. This couldn't mean anything good.

"So, look who finally decided to get her lazy ass up off the floor. You couldn't get there when your baby was crying, could you?"

Daniel asked as he stared me down.

"Follow me."

Daniel said as he walked past me and into the living room. So I did what I was told and followed him. He placed Ethan down on the couch next to Dakota then turned to face me. That's when he slapped me.

"You're such a stupid bitch! You don't even deserve to be alive! When you jumped off that bridge, I thought I could finally have some peace. But you still keep fucking come back."

Daniel said as he shoved me to the ground. He started kicking my stomach, back, and face as I screamed out in pain. Then we both heard a door open.

"Leave her the fuck alone."

I heard a familiar voice say. I opened my eyes to see Fergal standing his ground against Daniel. I wrapped my arms around my stomach as I scooted up against the couch Ethan and Dakota are on.

"You have no say about what goes on between Pamela and I. She is my wife and-"

"You know, I'm fucking sick of you calling her 'your wife'. A marriage is suppose to be something special. You aren't suppose to use the other person as a punching bag."

Fergal spat at Daniel.

"You know, I should've killed you the second I got the chance to."

Daniel said as he pulled a gun out and aimed at Fergal.

"Pam, take the kids and run."

Fergal said as he put his hands up.

"But Fergal-"

"Pamela, go! Don't worry about me!

Fergal yelled at me. As I turned around to reach for Dakota and Ethan, I heard a gun shot.

"If you so much move another muscle Pamela, I will kill him. I won't miss this time."

Daniel said as I looked at Fergal and the bullet hole in the wall. That's when Juliet walked into the room.

"Daddy! You came for us!"

She yelled as she jumped into Fergal's arms.

"You little bitch! I knew since the day you were born that you were gonna be an ungrateful little bastard!"

Daniel said as he pointed the gun at Juliet. Before anyone could do anything, he shot her in the chest.

"No!"

I screamed as Fergal put her on the floor as blood poured from her chest.

"You've done it now you prick!"

Fergal yelled as he tackled Daniel to the ground and wrestled for the gun. Once Fergal got it, he shot Daniel multiple times in the head, instantly killing him.

"Juliet."

I whispered as I carefully crawled over to her body.

"I'm so sorry Juliet. I'm so sorry."

I sobbed as I kissed her forehead.

"Let's get her to the hospital. She'll be okay."

Fergal said as he placed his hand on the shoulder. I just feel absolutely guilty for this happening. Somehow I knew that this was all my fault.
