Mr Peak pulls out a gun and points it at rabs my neck

“How do you feel?! How do you feel right now?!”

“I’m scared!” I yell as tears roll down my cheek

Mr Peak slaps me across the face

“Don’t be scared!” he orders

I slowly calm down I wipe the tears fro pattern “You recovered faster than I thought,” un away and sits back down
