It's not much of a life you're living

It's not just something you take - it's given

Oh the noise .

The loud screaming , dreadful noise.

I heard the front door slam , so I walked out of my room .

I walked down the stairs and saw Licia sitting on the ground ,

Her face red and tears streaming down her cheeks .

"What happened ?" I asked

I've never seen my sister like this .

I've seen her get mad over losing a game ,

Mad over a fight with Jasmine ,

But I have yet to see her cry and break down like she's mentally destroyed .

"I can't do this anymore ." she cried getting snot on me

Eww ! If she wasn't my sister ..

"Do what? What are you talking about?"

"Your my sister , you know everything about me . What would you do if you were me and you were mixed up in a lot of bs?" she said sniffling

"Like what?"

She told me about the rape and the Pao & Millen situation.

"You mean to tell me to this day , you still haven't told anyone besides those 3 people what happened that night?"

She nodded "I just need a break from , everything." she sighed

"I know this is probably what you weren't expecting but , Pao might just be the break you need. He's sweet and doesn't hit girls."

"How did you-"

"The walls in this house are too thin for me not to know."

"He loves me." she said wiping her eyes

"I didn't know hitting was a way to love someone."

"I think I'm gonna tell mom." she stood up

"What about dad?"

"You want Millen to die?"

"No, but-"

"They get home tomorrow. By then I'll decide. There's food in the kitchen if you want." she walked up the stairs

"Li."

She turned around at the top of the stairs , "Yeah?"

"You'll get through this , you're the strongest sister I have."

"I'm the only sister you have." We laughed

"I love you."

"I love you too." she walked into her room.

The Next Day

Alicia

"Guys we're home !" I heard mom yell

I ran down the stairs , this is just what I needed to make me feel better

"Mommy !" I yelled jumping on her

"Alicia you are too big to be jumping on me like this." she laughed

"Aww , I missed you too mom." I hugged her

"Hey , make room for one more." Lina jumped on me and mom

"Anyone gonna help me with these bags?" dad said standing in the doorway
