He deliberately plunged a knife through my chest, and stared till I took my last breath. I shut my eyes tightly as I reminisced about that event. A tear dared to slip down my face, but I shut my eyes and took a deep breath instead. "Fine. I'm going to get something to eat mom." I looked at her, she was smiling brightly.
