Alexa was standing in the bathroom trying to put makeup on her bruise's from where her mother has been hitting her she was covered all over her arms body and legs she couldn't cover her eyes because of her tears. "Open this damn door." Yelled her mother. "Mama please stop." She cried as her mom broke the door down with one kick her mother never really love her daughter and alexa could never understand why all alexa wanted was her mother's love and care like her dad did before he died from cancer. Alexa's mother we'll call her joan grabbed alexa by her short black hair and threw her out the front door and down the wooden stairs "get to school you're gonna be late" then she threw her back at her hitting her in head. Alexa arrives at school and heads up to the second floor to her locker when she is stopped by the school councilor toby burton. "Alexa what happened? you're a mess." He ask with a worried tone in which she replied "nothing just had an accident." Toby nodded his head once with a "ok". In gym class alexa was walking out of the ladies locker room only to be pulled back in and beaten up by who was once her bestie her name is jasmine they're friendship ended months ago when alexa cost her team the national volleyball championship because the whole team were using steroids. Jasmine then picked her up and smashed her head in to the mirror thankfully before anymore damage was done the teacher nice guy named jerry stroud put a stop to the attack luckily nothing was badly hurt. He helped her up and took her to the nurse named Mike morgan and asked the nurse to take her home. Mike takes her home only to hear the screams of her mother cussing and slapping her as if she did something wrong.ike got curious and mocked on the door to see if everything was alright. That night mike,toby,and jerry sat at the bar drinking beers Mike decided to tell them what he heard at Alexa's house saying "I think her mom beats her." Toby went on to say "I knew something was wrong with that child." Follow up with jerry asking "why would anyone wanna beat and abuse alexa she's the nicest student in the whole school." Mike then said " I don't know but something's gotta be done." Next morning two detectives by the names of jacinto hernandez and rookie sensation elizabeth were called to go see what was going on at the sheckles residents. They pulled up and knocked on the door til alexa answered with a black eye a busted nose and a busted lip along with other injuries it didn't take long to realize it wasn't safe for her so they took her in and arrested her mom. Alexa was sent to the hospital but as for joan she grabbed the officers night stick and shoved it in his eye shot two cops and wounded the detectives and stole a cop car. In the hospital mike, jerry, and toby went to visit alexa that night mike told her that it was them that called the detectives she smiled saying thank you. They laughed and joked til the news reported that three cops have been killed two detectives wounded at that point she knew her mom was after her to kill her along with everyone around her. Joan stormed up to the entrance of the hospital loaded with guns,a knife,a chainsaw and some grenades she chopped and hacked people with a chainsaw 7 in counting after that she shot 24 people then the knife slitting 30 people's throats killing everyone till she finds alexa. Mike, jerry and toby locked her door and turned the lights off by then joan has killed everyone and turned off the electricity giving no electricity to the whole building except the elevators. Alexa and the other three decided to make a run for it as they ran to the elevators one of the elevator doors opened on the sixth floor as joan stepped out with a "going somewhere?". "Mama I'm begging you please stop" she begged once again crying "don't have to do this." Joan replied with a back hand to the side of her face. " You made my life miserable from the day of your birth to age 17." Joan said pulling a buck knife out of its sleeve and just before her mother goes to stab her joan lets her have a few last words which were "I love you mama." Just then toby and the guys attacked her keeping her from killing alexa mike pulled the keys out of her grenades pushing her down a opened and broken elevator shaft. The four try to make it out of the building but by the time they reached the exit the grenades went off blowing up Joan's dead body and the building luckily the four made it out alive.
