He Kills, She Kills

She knew he was hiding something, but she just didn’t know what it was. She tried her best to figure it out but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Macy looked at her husband in worry. It seemed like something was wrong, but she would ask him when the time was right. Macy is 35 years old with two adorable kids. The oldest, Naveah, is eight years old. The youngest, Brian, is five; However, the man Macy is married to is not their biological father. The biological father of the two kids cheated on Macy with another woman and later filed for divorce. Macy had went through a slight depression, but then she met Austin. He’s the guy who helped her through the divorce, became her best friend through it all, and eventually swept her off of her feet. Macy fell in love and eventually they got married. Little does she know what kind of man her husband really is.

Macy decided to throw a birthday party for Brian since he was turning six in a couple of days. Macy is looking for Austin and finds him sitting down just staring at Brian in disgust. Austin looked as if he couldn’t stand him! When Austin first met the kids, Brian had really taken a liking to him. When Austin would leave, Brian would always ask “Where is Austin?” So did Naveah. She really took a liking to Austin also. She thinks of him as a second father, but lately it seems as if the kids have been getting on his nerves. Thoughts crossed Macy’s mind as she looked at Austin as he looked at Brian in disgust. She told herself she would later ask Austin what was wrong with him.

I noticed you were looking at Brian as if he had did something to make you mad.” Even as Macy asked Austin the question, he still had the same look from the party. Austin said with a smile, “Nothing sweetie. I’ve just been tired lately and

    Antonio is a six year old boy who has three older brothers and they all happen to have a big impact on him and he really looks up to them, especially Andrew. For example, “Andrew had said he wouldn’t enter the house of naked women until I had lost my innocence” (165). This shows that Andrew goes to Rosie’s house which confuses Antonio. This is an important situation because it makes Antonio feel and believe that he has lost his innocence. Another example, “There was an empty feeling inside, not because they spanked me, but because they would be gone again” (69). This shows that Antonio was feeling sad that his brothers are leaving and he is upset that he might not see them again. This is because the relationship he has with his brothers is not all that close, but Antonio wants the chance to become closer to each of them. Overall, Antonio’s brothers mean a lot to him and he does not want to lose them again.…

    I suddenly felt that it hadn’t been Mr. Clifton; maybe it had been someone else. When I picked my daughter up that afternoon I began to try and talk to her. Before I could bring up anything of that matter, her mouth began to pour critical details. She began to talk about one of the high school aids at the daycare, Sean. She discussed how Sean was “the coolest” and that he would give the kids prizes. I began asking what the prizes were for. Amelia had said that Sean would give those prizes if they would do certain things that would please Sean and if they wouldn’t tell…
