No Such Thing (Book 2)

Tati

I've been trying to call Mik all day to see if Emoni was going to let Leah bring Emonio to JK and Kaden's birthday party. She hasn't been answering the phone all day. I called Emoni to see if she knew where Mik was. I mean they do live together. Emoni finally answered the phone and she didn't sound okay at all. "Hey Moni, do you know where Mik at?" Emoni took a deep sigh. "Tati we got into it so bad lastnight I haven't talk to Mik all day. She put her hands on me, and I've been staying at Leah house all day. Emonio had an asthma attack and I was blowing Mik phone up with no answer. She came home drunk we got into it real bad, she put her hands on me and I left when she went to bed." I was shocked at what I was hearing. I've never known my sister to be abusive, at least not to Kym. Emoni and I got off the phone and I tried calling Leah.

"What's up little sis? You good? You okay?" I couldn't help but hear that something was wrong in Leah voice. "I'm good sis. I been trying to call Mik all day where she at?" Leah sighed. "Where Kym? Give her the phone." "Leah where is my sister?" There was silence. "Give Kym the phone lil sis, right now." I knew something was wrong. I ran down the stairs looking for Kym and found her and Jas outside. I gave her the phone and she must've saw the worry and tears in my eyes. She walked in the house and I followed. Leah and Kym talked on the phone for awhile then I saw tears run down Kym face. "Kym what's wrong? Where my sister?" The phone hung up and Kym stood there frozen. Kym spoke softly without blinking her eyes. "Mik was killed in a car wreck and she died at the hospital about an hour or two ago." I couldn't say anything, Jas caught me as I fell to the floor, I didn't know she followed us in the house. Kym slowly got on the floor with us and held me so close. I couldn't help but cry in their arms. This has to be a dream.

Why is this happening to me? What am I suppose to do now? Dead? My sister dead? In a fucking car wreck? What am I suppose to tell Tonio? How am I suppose to take care of Tonio? I've lost the only person that I truly had, she's the only one that really had my back. We all we got I can't lose my sister. This shit can't be real. What about Tonio? How do I explain to a 6 year old that his only "parent figure"/big sister is gone forever?
