I can play the ‘guilty by association game’ too :)

Oftentimes, I feel like I have nothing.

Not the things that I believe will make me happy.

Or that what I do have is not enough.

Not enough to get me where I want to go.

I am alone. I just want friends. I just want someone who respects me.

I am looking into an unsure future that is not entirely condoned by my family.

Brandon staggered backwards, his eyes gleaming in surprise as his right hand reached across his ribs and gripped his side. “John,” he started, his words pained. “You don’t need to do this.”

John marched down the steps, his pistol still firmly aimed at Brandon. “You have been the bane of my life since you met Jessica,” he snapped.

Ashlin watched as Cherri pulled Brandon’s pistol off her father’s hip and aimed it at John who didn’t even seem fazed by Cherri. “Wait,” Jesse said taking a step toward John, putting himself between Cherri and his uncle. He stared at her, eyes wide, heart racing. “We can lock him up. We don’t need to kill—”

Cherri squeezed the trigger with her index finger before Jesse could finish or move to protect John. She gave him an irritated look as she turned away from them. “He’s done enough harm,” she muttered walking away with the pistol still in her hand.
