“I will call you tomorrow. Okay?”  Nick said kind of mad

            “Okay.  I love you!” Annie said.

            “Okay.  Bye.” Nick hung up.

            Annie did not understand why Nick was so cold with her.  Maybe it is all the pressure we are going through. She thought.  Ever since I told him that I am pregnant he has been acting weird. I bet he is just nervous like I am but it is not my fault. 

            Annie decided to have a serious talk with Nick.  She knew that the talk could not wait.  She needed to tell him soon how she felt. 

            “Mom, I will be back in like an hour or so.” 

            “Where are you going?”

            “Why do you care?  The only thing that you need to know is that I’ll be back soon.”

            She slammed the door and ran to the car.  She didn’t know what she was doing exactly.  She turned on the car and started to drive to Nick’s house.  What was she thinking?  She knew that she was going to get Nick mad because she didn’t even call, but she didn’t care.  All she cared about was talking to him.  It seemed that ever since she had got pregnant she had been so sensitive.

            When she got there she could not even open the door.  What was I thinking? He is not going to understand.   What am I going to tell him?  She thought.  Oh well I am already here and I better do something about it.

            She knocked once, twice and three times.  There was no answer.  She started to walk down the stair. 

            When she heard a girl say, “Yes.  May I help you?

            “Who are you?”

            “I am Amber.  Who are you looking for?”

            “Amber, who?”

            “It doesn’t really matter!  Who are you looking for?”

            “Nick.”

            “He is sleeping.”

            “Can you please wake him up?  I really need to talk to him.  It is very important.”

            “Not until you tell me who you are.”

            “Just tell him that Annie needs to talk to him and I am sure that he will come out here.”

            “Who is it, honey?”  a voice in the back said.

            Annie knew who the voice belonged to.  Annie pushed the door open and because she knew that house perfectly, she ran to the bedroom.

            “What is going on Nick?  Who is that?  Why is she here?  We need to talk!”

            “Talk, about what?  We have nothing to say.  I guess this says it all.  Don’t you?”

            “We have a big responsibility!  Of course we have something to talk about.  What about our child?”

            “What about him?  He is not my responsibility.  I told you not to get pregnant!  You know that I am too young to even take care of myself and you want me to take care of a child?  And I don’t even know if it is mine.”

            “It is not only my responsibility.  It is your responsibility too.  I thought you loved me.”

            “Me love you?  Don’t make me laugh!  I have an idea.  Why don’t you have an abortion?”

            “What?  Are you serious?”

            “Yeah, I am serious.  I will help you pay for it.”

            “I have had enough.  I swear that you are going to pay for what you are doing to me.”

            Annie ran crying out the door barely giving the girl who had let her in a glance.  She got in her car and cried as loud as she could.  Why was this happening to her?  She didn’t understand.  She was very discombobulated with everything that was happening to her.  The only thing she knew was Nick and his new “girlfriend”, Amber, were going to pay for what they did to her.  Finally Annie calmed down enough to start her black Ford Escape.

            Annie finally made it home, the house was empty.  Good.  She thought.  Annie wanted to be left alone.  She didn’t want anybody to see, especially her mother, this upset. 

            She thought about it all night.  I can’t live without him.  I love him so much.  He is mine. Amber took him away from me.  She needs to pay and so does he.  What can I do? 

            Suddenly the thought about killing them broke through the pain.  They deserve it!  Nobody will know.  How would they find out it was me?  I could get my father’s gun and shoot them both.  She thought.

            She looked all over the house for the gun.  She could not find it.  She looked in her father’s closet, but it wasn’t there.  She looked in his office.  The only thing she didn’t look in was the old cabinet with the big old lock.  Annie got a hammer and hit the lock hard enough with the hammer to break the cabinet open.

            There it was the gun, which was going to get her revenge.  She stared at it for an hour.  She tried to pick it up, but every time she did she couldn’t hold it too long.  Annie wasn’t sure what to do.  

            Annie just couldn’t block out what had happen earlier.  The thought of them dead made her smile.  She couldn’t bare to see him with somebody else.

            Annie finally decided that she needed to do it before she chickened out.  She got the gun and hid it under her shirt and walked to her car.  She slowly opened the door and sat there for about five minutes afraid to put her plan into action.  Finally she started the car. 

            Annie parked down the street.  She slowly walked toward the house.  She saw a light on.  Yes.  She thought.  They are both here.  She then calmly and slowly opened the door to see Nick lying down in the couch.  As she walked toward him she saw Amber coming out of the bathroom. 

            “What are you doing her?”  Amber said.

            Annie slowly took the gun out and said, “Shut up!  If you say one more word I will shoot you.”

            “Please don’t.  I won’t talk.  Just please don’t do shoot me” she cried out loud waking Nick up.

            “What are you doing?  Are you crazy?” he yelled.

            “Funny.  You call me crazy.  I am the one that has all the control over you two and you call me crazy.  What I think is that you should get up and stand next to her.  And you better do it fast.”  Annie said pointing the gun at Nick.

            Nick got up as fast as her could and stood next to Amber.

            “First this is what we are going to do.  Nick, I want you to take a great big look into Amber green eyes.  And tell her how much you love me and if you don’t guess what?  She will die.”       

            Nick slowly turned to look at her deep green eyes.  A he heard a shoot go off.  His beautiful blue eyes open as wide as they could to see Amber fall to the floor with a wound on the side of her head.

            “Too slow!”  Annie said as she laughed.  Annie got a rag that was sitting on the top of the television and threw it to Nick.  “Here why don’t you clean you carpet before it leave a great big stain.  You don’t want all the blood on you new carpet?  Or do you?”

            “What do you want from me?” a tear ran trough Nick cheek.

            “You knew exactly what I wanted from you but, you just ignore it.  All I wanted is love but you never gave it to me.”   She said pointing the gun to his head.

            “Please don’t.  We could be happy together.  We still have a chance.”

            “You think?  Yeah right don’t make me laugh.  It will never work.  I have to do it there is no going back now.”   Annie laughed as she pulled the trigger shooting Nick in the leg.  Blood run down his pants and down on to the floor.

            “Ouch” he screamed holding his leg.

            “Did it hurt?”  She dramatically said.

            Nick eyes widen as tears ran down his face, his lips got purple he knew death was near.  Amber slowly took the gun and pointed it right next to his head.  “You won’t even feel it” she said.

            “Just do it, take me out of my misery.  Pull the trigger.” 

            Taking his advice Amber pulled the trigger.  As she watched him lying dead in the floor, she calmly took the phone and called the police. 

            “911, what is your emergency?”  The lady on the other side of the phone asked.

            “I just killed Nick and Amber.  The address is 1870 Maple st.”  She hung up.  She waited sitting next to the two dead bodies with a smile.  When the cops got there she told them step to step what she had done. 

            Amber was taken to a Mental Hospital; there she had a beautiful daughter which was adopted by Nick’s parents.
