Chapter 18 - Attempted Murder...
It might be scary
I saw Michael on the floor, his arm bleeding, and his bloody hand from holding his arm. I immediately called 000 (emergency number) and told them what was going on, that my mum had attempted murder on my boyfriend. Michael also said about her attempting murder on Hallie. Two attempted murders... My mum... This made no sense at first, but then it did. I should've never trusted her. She just wanted Michael out of the picture, and she thought, well, she might as well kill my child so there would be no more Clifford's left. I hung up the phone, and crouched down next to Michael.
"Mikey... We need to get this patched up." I said before running into the bathroom to get gauze and medical tape. I had no idea why we had it, but I was glad we did. Michael could've lost his arm that day, if he lost enough blood. They would've had to amputate it, and he would've never been able to play guitar again. Because we had the gauze, he was able to play guitar, but not for a while. Michael wasn't screaming in pain anymore.
Hallie still was screaming her lungs out. Michael and I decided that we would take her over to Michael's parents' house since they're only down the street. We didn't even bother putting her in her seat, I just sped over to them with Michael holding Hallie in one arm in the backseat.
We ran inside, me holding Hallie now, and called for Karen. She came running down the steps. She must've seen Michael's arm first, because she fired questions at us, "What is going on!? Michael, what happened? Why is Hallie crying?"
"I can't say much right now, but I went to the spa, leaving Hallie at my house with my mum. She tried to kill Hallie, then Michael, I think, came in and she tried to shoot him too. Can you take care of Hallie while we go back over to our house waiting for the cops to come? Please? Thanks" I babbled, and handed Hallie to Karen when she nodded, answering my question. She was still confused, but we would tell her more later. We then ran out and got back into the car, driving back to our house.
When we got there, we saw that my mum was really mad. She couldn't find us. She was going crazy.
"WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?!?!!!!!??" She yelled.
She turned towards the door, and saw us. I realized she had a gun in her hand. She shot at me, just missing my head. She then shot at me again, and I ran. That would count as another attempted murder, I think. But it would be a second-degree attempted murder (not planned), like Michael's. Hallie's, I'm pretty sure, would be a first-degree because my mum planned it. Michael and I ran up to the nursery, locked the door. Michael and I knew that a locked door wouldn't keep her back long, especially if she had a gun and could shoot through the door. So, we climbed out the window, and climbed down the side of the house. We ran to the front yard, and heard another shot and a crash. She had knocked the door down.
We were in the front yard, and we heard the police sirens and the ambulance. The police car and ambulance sped towards us. When the police talked to us,they asked us what happened again, just to be sure. This time, we added my mum shooting at me too. They then brought my mum out of the house, and put her into the cop car. They were going to keep her in custody until they figure out a court date, then figure out her time in prison. My dad was still home, and we wondered if he knew anything. I would call him later and see if he knew anything.
They took Michael in the back of the ambulance to the hospital. I was right beside him, riding with him to the hospital. I leaned onto his shoulder, crying just a little bit and I said to him, "Michael, I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to come home to this... I should've never trusted my mum again.."
"Princess, it's okay.." He soothed, "I'm just glad I came home when I did, or Hallie would've been dead.." He sniffled and continued, "if I would've gone in two seconds later, she would've been gone.."
"Yeah. Thank you, Mikey" I said, then the paramedics started checking Michael's arm, making sure everything was okay. They told us he would need a cast until it heals up. He would still have a dent in his arm where it hit when he got the cast off, though. They want it to be able to heal properly and for him not to move it so it can do just that. The bullet hit his lower arm, so the cast wouldn't go past his elbow. He would still be able to bend that. I was glad.
------
About 30 minutes later, we were at the hospital and Michael had already gotten his cast on. We were ready to go home. Michael's cast's color matched his hair at the time.
We drove to Michael's parents' house to pick up Hallie. We walked in, and Michael said hi to his parents, then decided to call my dad to see if he knew anything about what my mum was going to do.
*Michael's POV*
I decided to call Mr. Williams, and see if he knew anything about what Mrs. Williams was going to do. I dialed the number, and he picked up on the third ring.
"What do you want, Isabella!?" He said, irritated.
"It's Michael, didn't you see on the caller ID?" I asked.
"Yeah, I just thought, um, she would be, you know, calling from your phone.. And what are you doing? Are you at your house or on your way to your house?" He asked.
"um, no.. I'm at my parents' house with Hallie and Bella"
"Hallie!? Um, nevermind.. What did you call about?"
"Nevermind..." I said, and hung up.
Bella walked over to me and asked me what he said.
"I know he knows, Bella. I just know it.. He thought it was you calling from my phone. And when I mentioned Hallie, he was confused. He knows about it, princess.." I told her.
"We need to call the cops on him too, Mikey. If he helped plan it, or even just knew about it, he will go to jail too." She told me.
"okay, princess. Let's bust him too" I said, and dialed in the number to call the cops. I talked to the cops, told them about Mr. Williams, and they said they'd get him a lie detector test just like they did with Mrs. Williams (which she failed😊). If he fails, he'll be put in jail like Mrs. Williams. I was scared earlier when it was all happening, but now I'm glad that they are putting them in jail.

I'm so sorry I had to do all of this drama, but at least her parents are going to jail:)
