We Aren't Safe Here(BwWm)

Chapter 10

After I finish picking corn I try to work off all my nerves before walk over to Allister.
I set my bucket down emptying out all the corn.
"Shit." I feel like I'm trouble or something
I shake off the nerves and make my way towards him.

"Here."
Allister says picking up one of the two guns off the picnic table and handing it to me.

"Where did you get these?" I ask pushing the gun away from me with my pointer finger.
"One is mine, the other Mabel said I could have" He says and pushes it back to me
"And why do you want me to hold it?" I ask

"Hold? I'm going to teach you how to use a gun." He says laughing then turns serious
"You need to learn how to shoot zombies, so you can be safe." He places the gun back on the table.
I turn my head to the right and take in the set up he has laid out.
He has empty beer bottles placed side by side on the fence and he placed empty trash can lids with x's on the middle hanging right beneath them.
"Yea...I don't really wanna do this," I say scratching my neck

My memories that I have tried so hard to bury start to resurface, and my trigger finger can almost feel the cool touch of the metal.

"Well I need you to learn this so you can be safe" he counters and I'm yanked out of my memories.
"Um, can we not, we can literally do anything else." I pick up a baseball bat that sits leaned against the fence.
"You can teach me how to throw a mean left hook, or how to get a zombie off of me if I've been tackled, or even how to take a head shot with a bat." I say while swinging the bat to demonstrate my lack of skill
"It will be easier for you to just shoot it, come on, let me teach you."

"I don't want to do this, and I don't need you to teach me, because I already know how."
I say hoping that he will just drop it

He raises his eyebrow at me
"Oh yea, when did you learn?" He says as if he didn't believe me
"When I was younger, but I honestly don't want to talk about it." I say making it clear that I don't want to continue this conversation

"Yea, that's rich, stop lying and let me teach you." He says annoyed

"No soy mentirosa." I say in an irrated tone

" I don't know what that means Amora." He sighs and rubs his forehead

"I'm not a liar Allister." This jerk has the gall to call me a liar
"Can you stop being difficult and just let me teach you." He reaches out for me and I move back
"Oh I'm being difficult?" Anger fills me

"Yes you're being difficult."

"How am I being difficult when I explained to you that I know how to shoot a gun and I don't want to talk about it, so there is no need to teach me." I say waving my arms around in distress
"Then tell me how you learned how to use a gun."
"ARE YOU NOT HEARING ANYTHING IM SAYING?" I raise my voice

" It's pretty hard to hear what your saying through the lies." He clenched his jaw and stares at me with his venom filled eyes.

That was the last straw. Who does this asshole think he is?

I grab the gun off the table, I remove the magazine and count the rounds before shoving it back into place. I slide the safety off
And cock the gun.
In seconds time, I aim and fire hitting each target dead in the center.
When I finish I slide the safety on and remove the magazine placing it on the table. I slam the gun back into Allisters open hand
"Vete a la mierda! Translation, fuck off Allister!" I say as I shove my shoulder into him and walk away leaving him stunned in place.

How dare he disrespectful me like that?
"Wait! Wait!" I hear Allister say as he chases after me and grabs onto my wrist stopping me from leaving

"What?! you have more insults for me?"I ask trying to pull away from him
