Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 “good job,son”

Xsavier's eyes start to burst as his mom tells him the story.

"On the day that you got hit…"

The story flashbacks to after Xsavier got hit by the car.

"I was in shock, I was upset, and I was extremely disappointed in your father." She says as she continues.

"The school immediately notified me the news. I freaked out…" she says as her voice breaks. "I put the knife straight to his head and threaten to stab him." She says as she's holding back tears. "You killed dad?!" Xsavier says and he starts to cry. "X, let me finish." She demands. "I held the knife to his head and he held my arm to stop it. He pushes me against the wall, chokes me, the knife drops and 10 seconds later suddenly I see him bleeding out of his stomach." She says. "How?" Xsavier says. "Your brother saw him chocking me on the wall and he also heard about what your father had done to you, he was very angry. He picked up the knife and stabbed him literally in the back, but that didn't injure him." she explains to Xsavier as he interrupts.

"Mom I'm sorry to say I don't believe you, Roman would never stab dad. " Xsavier says.

"X, I know It doesn't sound real, but it is. I'm not finish please let me finish." She demands yet again.

"Okay." He says

"After he was stabbed he turn into the devil. He punched Roman so hard it left him with a black eye. He was beating Roman so bad that Roman was bleeding. I tried to stop but he slapped me. And then I lost it. I had to defend my baby like any mother would. I took the gun that we keep in the cabinet…" she breaks down and starts crying. She's crying so hard the the nurse knocks on the door to see if everything is okay. Xsavier makes up a lie and says our grandfather just died. The nurse believes him and says sorry for your loss and exits the room awkwardly. Xsavier stands up to hug his mother and the both are drenched in tears.

"It's okay mom I understand. You did what was right." Xsavier's says as he comforts his mom genuinely.

Over in Omar's room he's finally ready to be release from the hospital. He's packing his clothes and putting on his hoodie and jacket. His mom asks him if that's it. He says yes. As he's leaving he sees Xsavier walking in the hallway with tears in his eyes. "Are you okay?" Xsavier pushes Omar's arm off of him and remains to walk. Omar runs after Xsavier. Xsavier is having a meltdown in the stall and Omar opens the door.

"My dad's dead.

Omar's facial expressions start to match Xsavier's as he warms his heart with a wholesome hug.

Over in a 3 star hotel Roman lays on the rusty old bed shaking and paranoid at the actions that just transpired. He still hears the gun shot echoing in his ear. He still feels the pain in his fathers eyes after he'd been shot down by his mom. He still is in disbelief. His phone rings and his mother is much calmer than she was when he last saw her.

"I'm still sorry for everything. I wish I would of handed it better I wish something was different." She's venting as Roman cuts her off. "It's not your fault. Dad deserved it." He says . Tears are going down her face and his face as she questions if he's right. As the preachers wife she feels wrong for committing a huge sin. She feels like she's accepting the worst. First Xsavier coming out as gay then her killing her husband leads to her mind rambling of whether she's a good Christian or not.

"I don't be know if you're right, i don't think he deserved it. I could have injured his leg or did something different but seeing him hurt you caused me to not think rationally. I just wanna tell you Xsavier is coming out the hospital. I need to know where you buried your fathers body." She explains

"Mom I have to tell you something." Roman says frantically. "What?" His mother asks. "Dad…" he tries to say. "What!" He screams. "He's not in the house, that's why I got a hotel because I couldn't find his body, I-I don't know where he is. I think he's still alive." Roman says.

"He can't be, I shot him in the back of his head." His mother says surely.

"No mom, you shot him on his shoulder. He's probably still alive."

Panic comes upon her face as she is in fear.

After he hangs up the phone he's still shaking because his father is still holding a gun to his head. "Good job son."
