READ AUTHORS NOTE AT THE END PRETTY PLEASE

"Thank you so much Dad," I smiled and he handed me Ellise.

"It was no problem, she is such a better baby than you were."

I narrowed my eyes, "thanks."

"I have to go but I love you." He kissed my forehead.

"I love you too," I smiled as he walked out of the flat.

I looked at Ellise and smiled.

"Hi sweetheart," I smiled.

"Hi mummy," She giggled.

I froze as I looked at her.

"Say that again," I said.

"Mummy," She repeated.

"You're getting a little accent." I smiled. "Just like your daddy."

"Where is daddy?"

"He'll be back soon, he had to talk to Emily."

"I don't like Emily."

"Why not?"

"She looks mean at me."

"Does she talk to you?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Down mama," She pointed to the floor.

I sat her down and she stumbled to her room.

"I'm home," Joe said as he walked through the door.

"Hey," I said, "Ellise told me that Emily gives her mean looks. What does that mean?"

"It means Emily gives children means looks." He laughed and walked around me.

"Joe I'm..." I started but was interrupted by the door flying open.

I looked over and saw Tyler holding Cole. He had a scared expression on.

"Go," I heard a familiar voice as Tyler rushed to my side.

I watched as Kylie walked in, a gun pointed towards us. I shot Joe as he ducked down behind the counters.

"Kylie," I exhaled.

"Did you miss me?" She asked.

"What are you doing?" I looked at the gun.

She laughed, "you stupid bitch. I'm not going to let you guys just live your stupid, perfect lives."

"Perfect?" I asked.

"Shut it," She yelled. "Where's the kid?"

"Ellise is in her bedroom." I told her. "Why?"

"Ellise honey!" She yelled and pointed the gun towards my head.

"Ellise stay in your room!" I yelled.

"Shut up!" Kylie screamed at me. "Ellise, out here, now."

Ellise ran out to me as I grabbed her, holding her tight.

"What the hell do you want Kylie?" I asked.

"I want you two to suffer." She said. "You guys live with your stupid children with your perfect little lives. I'm on the streets now a days, you know? My mom won't let me move in. All my other friends think I'm some whore. And Jacob is in jail because of you two. So first, I'm going to kill you two, then Joe, then your kids."

"Cole is your child too Kylie." I said as Joe stood from behind the counter.

"Don't think about it." Kylie pointed the gun to Joe. "I'm not stupid, get over here."

Joe rushed to my side, putting his hand on my back.

"Maybe I should kill the kids first." She laughed.

"You're going to kill your own kid Kylie?" I asked and handed Ellise to Joe.

"He's not my kid." She said.

"He is," I nodded, "You gave birth to him. He's got your big brown eyes you know."

"Shut up." She said.

"He's also got your nose, Kylie, just look at him." I said and look to Tyler.

He turned, letting Cole look at Kylie. Her eyes scanned over his face.

"That's not my child!" She screamed.

"Kylie," I exhaled. "I know you feel left behind but trust me, you don't need to do this. You still have time to drop the gun and be in the life of your son. The one who will forget this in days and love you for years."

"If you don't shut up." She cried and put the gun to my head.

"I know you're not going to shoot that thing Kylie." I told her. "Do you remember high school? Do you remember all the sleep overs?"

"I hated you, I've always hated you."

"No, Kylie, You haven't. You would not have put up with me for ten years." I said. "You had good days too. I was the one you told all your secrets to. I know that when you were younger, you used to hate Winnie the Pooh because you thought he stole Mickey Mouse's shirt. I know you hate the smell of strawberry's. I know you prefer your pizza cold. I know the little things about you Kylie, because we were best friends. I also know that even if you don't want to admit it, you love Cole. He's your blood. I also know you wouldn't shoot Tyler because he treated you like royalty and you love him. I know you won't shoot Joe because he's a sweetheart and he never once said anything bad to you. I know you won't shoot Ellise because she's just a little girl who wants to make the world her bitch, just like you."

Kylie watched me with tears falling down her face.

"No," She shook her head and lowered the gun slightly.

"Yes," I nodded and placed my hand on the gun.

She let it go into my hand and handed it off to Tyler as Kylie hugged me tight. I put my hand on the back of her head and the door flew open, multiple officers walking in. I pulled back as they pushed her against the wall, arresting her. I turned and smiled as Joe handed me Ellise.

"Hi baby," I smiled and hugged her tight.

I turned and saw Byron run into the flat, Emily behind him.

"Al," He said and ran over. He hugged me and Ellise tight as I smiled. "What happened?"

"Kylie went crazy." I said and pulled back. "We're okay."

I smiled as he hugged us again.
