Still Breathing - Green Day

I don't know how long Papa has been silent for, he hasn't even blinked he's just staring into my soul at this point, he's going to tell on me isn't he?

I don't know how long Papa has been silent for, he hasn't even blinked he's just staring into my soul at this point, he's going to tell on me isn't he?

"Good" He finally replies, I'm in shock, I can't even bring myself to speak a fucking word.

"How?" He questions, his eyes still not leaving mine, "No" I shake my head, his hand leaves my chin but he doesn't look away, "How полевой цветок? (wildflower)".

"I- I choked them with the thing they used to tie around their arms when they shot up drugs", I finally break our eye contact and look away, I don't want to see his disappointed face, I don't want him to treat me differently, I don't want him to tell on me.

Tears creep out of my eyes no matter how tight I close them.

"посмотри на меня (look at me)" He says, voice eerily calm, "No" Is all I can respond.

"Уиллоу, посмотри на меня (willow, look at me)" His voice is stern now, he hasn't used a stern voice with me until now, I really fucked up.

Hesitantly I open my eyes even though my vision is blurred beyond belief, to my surprise he pulls me onto his lap and holds me like I'm a small child, one hand softy pets my hair the other on my middle back rubbing circles.

"Я так чертовски горжусь тобой, Уиллоу. Ничто из того, что ты делаешь, не может заставить меня ненавидеть тебя. Они оба заслуживают того, что получили, если бы я заполучил их, их смерть была бы намного хуже. (I am so fucking proud of you Willow. Nothing you do could ever make me hate you. They both deserve what they got, if I had of got my hands on them their deaths would have been much worse)".

Those words were all I needed to hear, I fully let myself break down, the heaviness of my life finally hitting me head-on like a freight train, I could feel Papa trying to hold his own tears back, and I would have assumed he did if it wasn't for the few droplets I felt hitting my shoulder. We are both big cry babies I guess.

"Дейзи! ты вернулся! (Daisy! You're back!)" Ally's voice booms from the loungeroom, I turn to see him standing up and running to me before Niki's body shoves him over and runs towards me, as Ally's body hits the wooden floor I'm yanked into Niki's grip and squished in one of those death hugs.

"Niki, I can't breathe" I wheeze out but he doesn't listen, "Мой маленький цветочный дом (My little flowers home)" He sighs contently.

"Николи, ублюдок, я засуну ногу тебе в задницу! (Nikoli you motherfucker, I'm going to shove my foot up your ass!)" Ally yells getting himself off the floor and charging towards us.

Niki spins us around and uses me as a human shield, "Don't touch me demon!!" Niki yells back, "Stop using our sister as a human shield you asshat!".

"Both of you stop acting like teenagers" Papa sighs from behind us, I can't help but laugh at their antics. "Nik, let your sister go, you're crushing her" Papa speaks again, and he's not wrong.

As soon as Niki lets go I'm yanked into Ally's embrace. "Я скучал по тебе (I missed you)", He admits his hug a lot more gentle thankfully, "Я тоже скучал по тебе (I missed you too)" I respond with the best smile I can give him.

The boys drag Papa and I into the dining room and sit us down at the table, "You two were gone for too long" Niki scolds us as if we are teenagers that have been caught sneaking out, "And you take too long to reply, in fact, Willow hasn't even replied to our last messages" Ally speaks next.

"First of all my phone is off because I've read online that the plane can crash if it's on. And secondly, why are you both so obsessed with me?" I ask looking between them, Papa seems amused as he tries to hide his laugh.

"See I told you she has a big head!" Niki exclaims, "That's 2 for you, you string bean looking mother fucker" I grit through my teeth.

This seems to catch Niki off guard but Papa and Ally burst out laughing, "fucking... string... bean" Ally almost chokes the words out, "Thought I forgot about the first time you told me I had a big head, oh sorry I think your exact words were 'big dumb head'".

"Where did my innocent sister go?! Papa what did you teach her?!" God, He's so dramatic, "Oh she got your ass," Ally says still laughing to himself. 

With that, I excuse myself and go upstairs into my room, finally, peace and quite. 

I fling my body onto the bed and close my eyes, they're sore and aching. I must have dozed off because I wake up in a panic, the thoughts, they never leave my mind. Some weeks, they're good and some not so much. This week must be a bad week.

flashback

"Fucking hold her down Danny" Marion hisses as she stands behind him, his grip on my wrist is almost bone-crushing, for a junkie, he's strong. I fight with every ounce of energy I have left in me "Stop fucking fighting slut" Danny yells in my face, I clamp my eyes shut as his face turns red in anger.

I feel a small burning sensation on my rib cage, I bite down on my lip harshly, to stop myself from crying out in pain, I've noticed when I react, they do it more, that's what they want, a reaction out of me. The burning feeling comes back, but it's on my stomach next to my belly button, tears form in my eyes from the pain of the cigarette burns, but from me biting my lip harshly too. "Fucking pathetic" Marion laughs, I open my eyes only to see her spitting on my face before she turns and slumps down onto the dirty sofa.

"Show her what happens to bad girls".

end of flashback

My hands are in my hair, pulling harshly, my breath rapid, and my chest feels as if it's concaving in, "I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl" I whimper to myself quietly.
