            I looked around the room, trying to figure out if I'd left anywhere unchecked. As I looked, I saw a woman walking towards me, with a worried expression on her face. At least I wasn't the only one who was still in the club... And maybe this girl would be able to help me.

"Hello," I said, smiling at her.

She swallowed, and then smiled back. She looked like something was troubling her.

"Can you help me with something?" I asked, folding my arms. "Seeing as you're the only other person I can find in the club right now."

"Sure," she replied nervously. "What is it?"

"I was wondering if you've seen my sister anywhere," I sighed exhaustedly. "She's a little tall, was wearing a blue and pink coloured floral dress, has a big black fringe that covers her eyes."

The girl jolted back, looking terrified.

"Ring any bells?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Yes, I just saw a girl that looks like what you just told me!" she said, with a worried expression on her face. "I was just looking for somebody to..."

"Thank fuck," I sighed, cutting off her sentence. I blew a sigh of relief. My sister was safe...

"Where is she?" I asked, shrugging.

"She was lying down on the bathroom floor," the stranger said awkwardly, folding her arms uneasily. "I think she passed out."

"WHAT?!" I roared. My blood felt like it was running cold. I couldn't believe it... The one time I showed leniency towards my sister... The one time that I allowed her to go on a night out...

This was what fucking happened?! This is how the night panned out?!

I started screaming, shaking with rage. I was angry at myself. Angry at myself for not keeping a better eye on her... For getting distracted, rather than looking after her properly tonight...

A tear slid down my cheek as I bolted out of the karaoke room. I wasn't a man that showed emotion. I'd grown up to become a stone-cold bastard. One that didn't give a fuck about anybody's feelings.

But when it came to my own family...

It was a different story.
