I was having a really bad day today and Lex kept bugging me, I hadn't gotten our letter from Ry since Tuesday, today is Sunday.

Alexandra:Sissy sissy sissy.... Mama

I turned to look at her.

Poppy:What, what do you need. What is so important that you need my attention.

Alexandra looks really upset, now I feel bad.

Poppy:Lex I-

I tried to apologize, but she ran off, I think she was going to Sal, even though she hated him, he is her father, our father and he was now our remaining legal guardian.

I run down to try and stop her, I heard Sal slur something, shit he's been drinking and probably drunk.

I moved faster

TW⚠️: Death

And faster... it feels like they're so far away yet so close at the same time, then I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard Alexandra screaming.

Finally I made it to the living room, but a bit too late... Lex was laying on the floor covered with her blood.

I rushed over and sat next to her. I lifted her up and held her as I choked back a sob.

Poppy:I'm sorry Lex, I'm so sorry love bug... p-please don't leave me please.

Alexandra:Mama

Lex had gotten so used to me being around that when she was really upset or scared she'd call me mama. Even though I was biologically her sister I was the one who raised her.

Poppy: it's me baby I'm here, your ok

Alexandra:Mama I see a light

No no no I silently begged to god, please no not my baby, not my baby sister.

Alexandra:I love you mama

She said before her body went limp in my arms, I couldn't holed back my sobbing anymore, I cried for hours and hours and hours.

Till I finally got the courage to write Ry and call the local funeral home.

The service was nice. Me and Ryry were the only ones there though an I think that's what she would have wanted. The people who loved her most to be there.

I was now sat looking at pictures of her I had on my phone.

I had been sick for weeks before this and the smell of everything but especially befe jerky made me feel nauseous.

TW⚠️: mention of rape

And just before that was when Sal had done those things to me and r god I can't even say it in my head. Raped me I thought quickly.

I went to the bathroom and took a pregnancy test which I had no idea why we had them. Because Sal didn't use protection.

TW⚠️ over:

I wanted for 5 minutes but it felt like years, before I flipped the test over. I started blankly at it.

It was positive.. oh gosh I'm only 11 about to be 12 what am I supposed to do, I can't stay here, look what happened to Alexandra... she was only 7.

I guess it can get worse.
