Crystal
Waking up in the morning is a bliss, I pretend to be asleep and Belle runs in giggling with Ava chasing her. They both enter and run up to jump on my bed to 'wake me up'. Then while they jump on my bed I 'wake up' and drag them down and we play tickle wars. After that we lay down and talk about our plans for the day...
This is the part where the come running in but wait...instead of giggles I hear...screaming ? and there's no pancake or waffle smell but shattering glass. What's happening ? Now I'm kinda getting scared and curious. Deciding to get out of bed when I hear a scream I rush to the door and pull it open.
Running down the stairs to where the screams and shouts are coming from which is the kitchen I halt in shock seeing a furious looking Siyabonga gripping tightly on Ashely's hair pulling it too and she's still in her lace undergarments.
"Siyabonga wenza ntoni (Siyabonga what are you doing)!" I scream terrified "Stay out of this Mbali" he growls without even looking at me. Since when did he growl ? I'm pulled out of my mind when I hear Ashely let out another scream "Shut the fuck up. I told you to stay the fuck away from my house and I. But what did you do? Huh what did you do ?" He screams at her pulling her up by her hair
Some of it was on the floor and her blond hair looked bloody and her face was red with tears and snot running down. "Siya please let her go she knows not to cross you. Siya please !" I beg screaming with Ashely as he rights d his grip then *thwaaa.
It felt like time froze...He. Slapped. Her. "I said shut the fuck up"
Neither Ashley nor I would stop crying, I won't lie I was dead scared right there. "Awulaleli wena Ashely, you don't listen nxa, today I'm going to teach you how to follow instructions" he pulled her up with him to one of the drawers and took a scissor out. Acting on impulse I ran to the side of the counter top they were at and threw myself at Ashely when he aimed for her skull and he stabbed me on my shoulder
Screaming because of the pain seething through my arm I pushed Ashely to the side and held my arm trying to see how deep the stab was. "Fuck! Crystal are you okay" he panicked coming out of the crazed state he was is "ahhh stay the fuck away from me" I scram when he walked towards us.
He ran out the kitchen and up the stairs, I stood up and went to the sink to grab a dish cloth to stop the bleeding and attend to Ashely because she she had it worse. I grabbed the one in the sink and put it under the running hot water from the faucet.
Once it was hot enough I struggled but eventually nday'khupha nda khupha amanzi and tried to tie it around my arm. "Morning- whoa what happened here ?" Asks Sabelo "Your psychotic brother happened" I spit back with venom "Shit! Ashely I told you to leave last night" he says walking towards her.
He picked her up bridal style and walked in the direction of the stairs "Where are you going with her?" I ask standing up "I have a first aid kit in my closet and your a doctor so come treat her wounds." He says walking up the stairs. These men are fucked up real talk. "What ? No she needs to go to the hospital, get a CT scan to see if there's any damage to her brain and properly sterilize those wounds" I say following up.
Sabelo continued to walk and then turned to the third door on the left, there are three on each side, one literally 5 feet from the door on both the left and right. I took the one in the middle on the right. Pushing his door open he went to his bed and laid Ashely on it, walking to what I think is the closet he opened it and walked inside..yep definitely a walk-in-closet, he came back out with a black travel look alike bag and placed it on the bed "There" he said
I stared at him like wtf dude "Uhm what do you want me to do?" I ask "Clean her head ofcourse" all the while Ashely was crying sofly on the bed laying in the position Sabelo left her. "She needs a hospital" I insist "Damnit man Crystal she can't go to the fucking hospital so just treat her here!" And with that he walked out banging the door.
