Jared enters the bedroom to find Sinai with tears streaming down her face. The feeling of guilt washes over him. Jared walks towards Sinai. As he reaches for her body she turns towards him with fear evident in her eyes. " What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Jared demands. I--I was- Jared slaps her. Sinai stay motionless. " Is this what you have been doing all day?" Jared yells. Before she could respond Jared yanks her by her hair and throws her against the mirror. Glass shards lands on the floor. Jared hesistantly walks towards the door. " Clean this shit up."
Mikel places an ice pack across Sinai's bruised cheeks, she flinches from the impact. "Where is he?"he calmly ask, knowing any sign of anger would alarm her. Silence. Mikel always knew what Jared did to Sinai when no one was around, he just never thought that Sinai would have stayed so long. Afterall, Sinai was a strong minded girl who wouldn't put up with this shit. He wasn't so sure anymore.
"I can't stay with you Mikel, he'll find me" Sinai says. "When he do I'll be there. " Sinai looks up at Mikel with admiration, yet with a hint of worry. Mikel has been there for her every since they were 4 years old. They met in pre-kindergarten. Sinai was a very sensitive child, so when she lost the blankie her father had given her she cried for hours. The other kids teased her about it, but not Mikel. He grabbed her hand one day and told her to never cry unless it was happy tears. For that day on they were inseparable.
