I was awakened by a loud banging noise. It sounded like it was coming from downstairs. I sat up and looked over at Spencer, he was sound asleep. "Spence! Wake up I think there's someone downstairs." I whispered loudly. He opened his eyes. "What"he said sitting up rubbing he eyes so they would adjust." There's someone downstairs." I said standing up. He shot up out of bed. "You stay here." He said walking over to the dresser,grabbing the gun that was lying on the top. "No I have to check on the kids." I said walking out the door. He sighed but followed. As he went down the stairs I opened the door to Jordan's room. I walked in and woke her up. "I need you to get under your bed and don't say a word while I go check on your brother. Nod if you understand." I whispered. She nodded crawling out of bed and in under it. "I love you and so does your father always remember that." I said before shutting the door. I walked across the hallway and opened the door. I heard a gun shot. It made me jump out of my skin. I ran over to Felix's bed. I shook him awake. "Get under you bed and don't say anything." I said and he did so. "Me and your father love you always remember that." I said before shutting the door. I walked down stairs it was too quiet. I peeked into the kitchen to see a man standing over Spencer with a gun to his head. I started crying. I grabbed the phone that was on the table next to the door and dialed 911. "Hello?" I said "yes ma'am, what seems to be the problem." "There's a man in our house and he has a gun pointed at my husbands head. Our address is 3738 Mud Oak drive." I whispered. "Ok help is on the way get to a safe place." She said. I heard another gun shot. I peeked back into the door and saw Spencer laying on the floor blood pouring from his head. I dropped the phone I couldn't move or talk. I could hear the woman on the phone saying something but I couldn't make out what she was saying. The man started walking towards me. I could see that spencer had shot him in the leg. I started running but he shot me the back of the leg. I screamed in fear. I fell in front of the stairs. I looked up to see our children looking down at me. "Mommy" Jordan said. I motioned my arm for them to go to there rooms. They ran back into the hallway where I couldn't see them. I heard him coming up behind me. He grabbed my hair and jerked my head back. He had a knife this time for me. He rubbed it across my face. "Any last words?" He said. I stopped crying. I wasn't scared I was pissed. "Fuck you!" I screamed at him. He gripped the knife and slid it across my throat. I could feel the blood coming out of my neck. I tried to breathe but couldn't. I could hear the sirens pulling up. I closed my eyes. I don't know if he ran or not. But I assumed he did. By the time the police busted through the door I was dead. And my children were left orphans with that horrible image of me bleeding, helpless. I hope that Spencer's team caught the man that did this to my family and that my children could live a normal,happy life.
