Saint Tai Banks

POV

Naih grabs my face looking into my ears with her sad dark brown eyes. She hugs my head into her chest and I hold unto her. Never wishing for it to end. 

Flashback...............

I wake up and I feel groggy, the expensive sofa beneath me feels like a cloud and there's the feeling of something stuck in my arm. I look down looking at the needle in my arm and pull it out.

What happened?

I look around confused. 

Where's Papa?

Most of all....

Where's Heaven.

I look up clutching my arm where the needle was and notice my dad sitting on the opposite couch with a bottle of vodka in his hand. 'Sonnnnnnn, you're awakeeeee, how'd you like that?' he says smiling at me with his meth teeth.

'What did you do?' I say feeling tears cloud in my eyes. My nine year old mind couldn't comprehend what he'd done to me.

'-What was that?' I ask stumbling.

Everything feels woozy.

'I gave you a little some of this,' he says holding up a packet of white stuff.

'What the fuck is it?' I grit looking for my sister frantically.

'Heroin.' he says bluntly.

We learnt about that in school.

Drugs.

'Where's Heaven.'

He chuckles darkly taking a large swig of him vodka and stumbles out  leaving me in the dark room.

I run up the stairs up to her bedroom hoping to find her safe and sound. Unharmed. I hear the sound of faint crying and thumping.

She's only five. As I get closer to the pink painted door my heart drops. There's sounds of moaning and muffled crying.

I hear a loud sound, then the crying gets louder.

No.

No.

No.

I run towards the door looking at the chipped paint and pushed the door open.

My sister is lying on her bed crying her beautiful green eyes out. There's a man. Large and bulky. He has a scar running across his face standing over her with his pants unbuckled. I don't know what, but I know it's hurting my sister.

She cries my name and I go to help her, but there's a hand on my shoulder holding me back. I thrash and cry but the person don't let go. 'Look, take a long hard look. Your sister is finally showing you what she really is.'
