I walk out of Sarah's room and leave the door open in case anything happens or she wants something. I pace myself down the stairs, being subtle not to make much sound.

~EEEEEE~

I hear a loud and disturbing screeching noise. My head swiftly turns to Sarah's door. It looks like she's ok, still in bed. I ponder what the noise can be. Rushing to the window to look outside, I see Rowan. My eyes get narrower in anger as my heart beats faster.

That bastard better get out of here before he ends up like my sister, maybe even worse, dead. I keep in control of my anger and decide to do the right thing, call the police. I grab a hold of the phone and dial 911. In a cool tone I answer their questions about the situation and my address. I hang up and see what Rowan's doing now, if he has left yet. If he hasn't he's just looking for trouble.

It's difficult to see in the dark and especially though a dirty window. I manage to make out the word 'bitch' keyed on the side of the small red car. Keeping my cool I sit and wait for the police to arrive and take charge. I don't want to be going to jail too. I have to be here for my family, most of all; for my sister.

~SPLAT~

"What the fu-" I get cut off by another splat. Curiosity is killing me! I have to know what it is even though it will mean being seen. 'Take that you stupid hoe! Running away from me!' Those words make my blood boil with fury.

I just pray that Sarah didn't hear that. Ah! I know what it is! That asshole, egging our house! Who the fuck does he think he is? First he uses and abuses my sister, then keys her car and now eggs our house! He's going down. Hard.

I can't wait for the police any longer. I hurriedly stand up and open the front door with so much anger it slams into the wall leaving a big dent. I wonder if Sarah woke up from the sudden noise, but the way she fell asleep and the lack of energy she had I don't think she would have woken up. She's fast asleep and she's a heavy sleeper so no need to worry.

I huff as I startle Rowan in the act. "I suggest you walk away now, get the fuck out of here immediately." I speak angrily managing to keep a straight face. He just laughs at me. Stands there and laughs. "What are you going to do about it? For starters I'm seventeen and you're what, thirteen-" I harshly cut him off and correct his words, "fourteen nearly fifteen," I snap with my arms crossed across my chest.

"You think you're tough huh." he unwittingly replies. "I know I am." I say sharply. "The dumb bitch got what she deserved." Rowan almost mocks my words. My cool green eyes burn up at the sound of his words. How dare that low life speak so horribly about my sister like that?!?!

"Take. That. Back." I mutter through gritted teeth. He just smirks at me and comes closer. His face now just centimetres away from mine, "No." he admits with a cheeky grin. I've had enough of him, enough of everything he's done. What did Sarah see in him in the first place? I expel a gush of air bitterly through my nose and clench my fists tightly making my nails dig into my sweaty palms.

Before Rowan has time to do anything, I throw a well-deserved punch to his face that sends him to the ground. He grabs my ankle and tries to knock me off balance by tugging roughly. I stand my ground and shake my foot around trying to free his grasp. That doesn't work so I just use my other foot and step on his arm making his squirm in pain. My foot swings forward and back landing solid kicks in his stomach. I have so much rage and anger that I just channel it all in my fighting.

"That's"

~kick~

"for"

~kick~

"my"

~kick~

"sister"

~even harder kick~

. I hear police sirens in the distance so I stop hurting the animal even though I don't want to. I don't want to ease his pain. I want to keep going. I want him dead. The police arrive and find Rowan's nose bleeding and unconscious on his back. They interrogate me quickly asking me all sorts of questions about what happened. I tell them everything; what happened to Sarah and the doctor's visit and Rowan showing up at our front door. I lie about what happened just before they arrived, claiming I hit him in 'self defence.'

Luckily they find a knife in his back pocket so I say that he threatened me with it. They believe me and say that they can't do a full case until the morning when Sarah wakes up. They take photographs of the 'crime scene' and Rowan.

I hear fingers snap bringing me back to the present. "Oh sorry babe just had a flashback." I tell Evelyn all about it, continuing my story. "Oh babe," her voice shudders, "you did what you had to. I don't blame you. I would have thrown him a couple punches too. What happened to him next? You said a happy ending."

"There is a happy ending." I smile revealing my hidden dimples. Evelyn smiles too and I pat her back softly. "In the morning, I gave my sister the tablets that in bought the night before and took her down to the police station. They interrogated us separately then took photos of Sarah's damage, taking more of her massive bruise on her stomach.

With all the evidence that they compiled, they made a case and arrested Rowan for sexual misconduct and abuse. Our case got taken to court. Thank god mums best friend was a lawyer; she helped us out so much! We won the trial and he got sentenced to 2 years in jail. Sarah was so relieved that he was locked up, now he got what he deserved."

Evelyn is on such a high right now. She's so happy of the outcome! "Yes! In your face you animal!" She yells almost falling off my lap. My arms support her back as she tilts her head back and inhales sharply. She exhales with a laugh. Resuming her previous position, I stare into her glistening hazel eyes. Evelyn pulls me in closer and kisses me with so much passion. Her hands start to slide up from my neck to my hair and her fingers comb through my rugged brown curls.
