EPISODE 6: My Love Is On Fire

Before I knew it, the groundnut bottle on the dinning table got my attention, I picked it up and summoned all the courage I have. I tried to find my way to where Kimmie was lying with the man without making any sound. I finally hit the man with the bottle as I got hold of the gun in his hand. Kimmie screamed.
Her screaming got the attention of the other arm robber who ran in from outside. He was on mask.
Still with the gun I got from his other partner, I know Kimmie and I have to save ourselves now. The other man lied unconscious on the floor. As the man tried to get closer to us, I shut my eyes as I pulled the trigger of the gun, the man dropped down dead.

The sound of the gun got the attention of the neighbours who probably phoned the police. I was shaking, I just killed someone, but still happy nothing happened to Kimmie and I.

Shortly after, the police came in without asking much questions as they saw we were still shocked.
One of the officers noticed that the man I hit with the bottle was unconscious, with the help of one other officer they rushed him to the clinic.
The police officer unmasked the man I shot, i moved closer with fear to see the face of the man.
Lo and behold, it was my lover, my best friend, my first love. I couldn't retain my shock, I lied down unconscious as I screamed out his name, "LAWRENCE".

Till now, I have not found the answer to this question, "What Led Lawrence Into This?".
