22

I sighed sitting at home, alone again. Mom of the year out again running boy toy of the day. I glanced at my phone, scrolling through the old what used to be the family I always wanted. I smile, tearing up at the pictures of me with the Woods family. It hit me hard to lose the closest parental figures I had and someone I cared for deeply. "Tomorrow, I need to go visit Lui..." I said aloud, to no one at all. I wiped away stray tears and clicked my phone off. I heard a knock at my door. I grabbed a pocket knife from my nightstand and headed for the front door. Who the hell could that be? no one but trouble and mommy dearest are up at this hour...  I peaked out through the living room window to see a darkly clad teen at my door. I hesitated until I caught a glimpse of the scarf in the passing headlights of a patrol car. Lui?!  I opened my door and let him inside, clearly astonished that he had been released. After all, it had only been a week and there was no way his injures should be healed enough for him to be out here on his own. Especially on a cold winter night. "Lui, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you still be in the hospital?" He ignored my questions," Hey (n/n), are you home alone?" Confused, I nodded. "Yeah, why?" He walked back to my bedroom and sat on the bed,"(y/n) I wasn't released from the hospital. A really annoying nurse decided she wanted to run her mouth about her very unsavory opinions of Jeff to me and I snapped. Well sort of snapped. I think Jeff snapped me into two different people: me and Sully. Or maybe Sully had always been there, lingering in my mind. Either way, I killed her. I killed the nurse, stabbed her to death. I fled the scene. I hate to mix you up in all this but do you think I can hide here until my wounds heal a little bit more?" He said, trying his best to remain calm through his story. I just stared at him for a moment.  He... He murdered someone, an innocent human being...  I shuddered at the thought but against what most sane people would do, I nodded. He is like a brother to me...  "You can stay Lui, school shut down a week early for the holidays with everything going on so I'll be here to take care of you. Mom of the year is never home so you should be fine, but just to be safe only stay in this room." I say, unsure of how safe this is. What if I'm next on his list? What if they were both in on Peter and Margret's death? No, Lui would never...  "Thanks (y/n)" For the remainder of the night, Lui and I talked about that night his world changed and his new 'friend'. We'd talk about Jeff, me obviously walking on eggshells, and occasionally this Sully character would cut in and give his "loving" opinion on Jeff. My mind kept lingering back to him murdering a nurse. I knew it was wrong but he was still my friend. However, that's a downfall for him.  "Lui, you know it's going to be hard to hide you here for long, considering what you and jeff have done and my connection with you. It's only a matter of time until I'm interrogated. Or even given round the clock watch. How long do you think this will last?" I asked, still walking on eggshells, not wanting to trigger Sully. As much as I adore  Lui, I don't feel comfortable around Sully. Lui sighed, laying back on my bed wincing in pain. I could practically smell the smoke from the gears turning in his mind, trying to figure out how all this would work.  This was all happening so fast. He looked over at me with a puzzled expression, "(n/n), where's your mom?" I stiffened up when Lui asked her, "Out. Probably selling her body to another man just for fun. Being a whore. Why?" I said, practically tasting the venom in my voice. No daughter should ever think of her mother in such a manor but yet, here I was doing just that.  Lui went to speak but quickly went quiet at the sound of the unmistakable, full of authority, knock at my front door. I ran for the door as I saw the flashing lights from my bedroom window.
