[ WP ] `` I used to be ... ''

I used to be able to sleep through the night, now I just lay there into the late hours of the night. I told him not to do it, told him that there was still a way out. But he was to stubborn to listen. Ca n't blame him though, he took after me. But ever since the incident, I just lay there in my empty bed, staring at the ceiling, in an empty house. 
 
 I was finally home from work; we were extremely short handed, causing me to work multiple doubles throughout the week. I have n't seen my family in days, let alone eaten a warm meal. I was looking forward to tonight. `` Jess I'm home,'' I call out as I'm taking my work boots off by the front door. Looks like I'm going to have to replace these, the sole is almost gone, there's a tear on the side as well. As I began to make my way into the house, I could smell something burning in the kitchen. I was greeted by the site of a grease fire on the stove. Turning the stove off, and smothering the flame, I call out the my wife once more, `` Jess where ar...'' `` Get away from me! She deserves what she has coming to her!'' 
 
 I make my way upstairs, taking three steps at a time, I round the corner and see my wife on her knees crying hysterically. `` Tyler please do n't do this! ``, Jess pleaded. I could n't comprehend what was happening, Tyler had his sister by the hair in one hand, and a hammer in the other. Approaching slowly with my arms out, trying to look as passive as possible, `` Tyler I do n't know what's going on here, but please let Amber go.'' `` No! She deserves this! She has beaten and bullied me for the last time!'' Tyler said with a look of hatred in his eyes. `` Tyler plea...'' Tyler began to raise the hammer, looking down at his older sister. I could feel my reflexes kicking in. I reached for my side arm... 
 
 Jessica left me after the incident. She could n't stand the site of me any more. Said that all she could see was Tyler when she looked at me. She moved back to California with her mother, taking Amber with her. I have n't spoken with Amber since then either. Now I spend most of my nights just laying in my bed, in an empty house. I used to be able to sleep through the night, now I just lay here, staring at my ceiling.
