“That bitch!” I had no more time for Chanel’s theatrics and I was ready to head out until one of her cronies spoke up.
“I saw her parked out front in her car. When Madison left, she started to drive off in that direction.” If Mr. Montgomery was capable of raping Madison over and over again while Mrs. Montgomery turned a blind eye to it, I don’t want to know what else she is capable of.
“Make sure she doesn’t leave and call the cops.” Chanel better pray that a single hair wasn’t touched on Madison’s head. In my eyes she is as guilty as Mrs. Montgomery since she helped orchestrate this.

I didn’t care about speed limits. I didn’t care how many laws I was breaking. What I cared about was getting to Madison and making sure she was safe. I had the same gut feeling I had when Mr. Dolan wanted me to go down the basement. I have no idea what that pill popping bitch is capable of and I don’t think Chanel does either. If she did, she’s a sicker bitch than I thought.
As soon as I pulled up to Madison’s house, I saw an odd flicker of light coming from the front windows. With my mind focused on what was going on, I didn’t even realize I drove my car right on to her lawn. All I knew was I needed to get inside and get to Madison.
Right when I got out of my car, flames rushed out of the windows. I ducked quick from the glass that rained down. My heart was racing knowing there was a good chance of Madison being inside. I knew I had to think quick, so I rushed towards the back of the house hoping I could get in.
When I got to her back door, I was able to see Madison wrestling with Mrs. Montgomery on the floor. I tried to get in, but of course the door was locked. It was one of those moments where every second counted, but I was a second too late. As soon as my fist connected with the glass, the sound of a gun firing went off. My heart stopped at the sight of Madison laying on the ground in the white dress I picked out for her that was slowly turning a dark shade of red.
I opened the door and silently went in. Mrs. Montgomery didn’t even realize I was standing behind her. She didn’t even seemed bothered by the fact she just killed someone. I knew I had to get the gun off of her before I was next. The fire was spreading fast and the smoke was getting dense. I only had a few minutes to disarm her and get Madison out of here.
“Took you long enough.” She had her finger on the trigger and I felt the clock ticking down in my head.
I had no words for this cold hearted psycho. I didn’t have time to make a plan, so I rushed her. She fired the gun and the bullet skimmed my shoulder. We rolled around on the floor with my hand on the gun and her finger still on the trigger. Then she did something that will forever shock me to my core.
Mrs. Montgomery stopped fighting me while the gun was pointed in her direction. She looked over to Madison and then look at me while saying, “I’ll tell her you said hi.” With a sadistic smile, she pulled the trigger.
Bang
I watched her cold dead eyes stare up at me while the blood from her forehead dripped down. It was a sight that will haunt me for a long time. For Madison to see that happen to her mom as a little kid makes me realize she is a lot stronger than she looks.
The fire was now surrounding us, but luckily the back door was still open and clear for us to get out. I crawled over to Madison and my heart stopped at the sight of her. She was laying there pale and soaked in her blood. She had the faintest pulse and I knew the clock was ticking down. I was terrified to move her, but I had to get her to a hospital fast. I slid her body across the kitchen floor and once we were by the door, I picked her up and ran her towards the front of the house.
“Help! Someone please, she’s dying!” There were cops, firemen, and EMT surrounding the house. Once they heard my pleas, the cops were shouting towards the EMTs to come to us.
“What happened here?” The cops eyed me suspiciously and I couldn’t blame them, I was covered head to toe in Madison’s blood.
“Our old foster mother, Mrs. Jane Montgomery, abducted Madison. I heard she followed her home and came rushing over her to check on her. I had to go to the back door because of the flames and that is when I saw Mrs. Montgomery shoot Madison.”
“Where is Mrs. Montgomery?”
“We got into a scuffle when I tried to save Madison. She shot herself in the head. If the flames didn’t get to her yet, you will find her in the kitchen.” The cop eyed me weary, but I had no time for this.
“Look I had no…” Before I could finish my sentence, my friends came storming over with Chanel.
“He’s innocent and we have the proof right here!” Rem yelled over.
“What in the hell is going on!” The cop was losing his patience with the mess going around him.
“We were all with Jude when this was happening and she can tell you everything that Mrs. Montgomery was planning.”
“Is this true?” He looked at Chanel and she nodded her head. I don’t know what my friends said to make her cooperate, but I’ll be forever grateful.
“Where’s Madison?” Declan asked and
