Chapter 5

Eric’s POV

“I have to start from the beginning .......”

*flash back*

I’m sleeping peacefully in my bed when I hear shouting coming from down stairs....probably dad shouting at the cat again so I went back to sleep.

“You stupid little bitch” I hear him shout and then hear a cry of agony. I leap out of bed and run down the stairs.

“Stop fighting me and stay still” I hear a slap echo throughout the whole house and nearly faint from shock when I see my little sister pinned underneath my dad.

I try to get to my dad to push him away from my six year old sister but before I have a chance he picks her up and throws her through the glass door into the backyard. I scream as I hear a loud smack from Jasmine’s body hitting the hard concrete.

I run to her as fast as I can, not even bothering to look back at my dad.

“What have I done? Oh my baby girl” I hear him cry

I place my hand on her head and she cries out in pain. I watch as her little eyes flutter closed.

“Jazz, come on sis open them eyes for me” but she doesn’t I waste no time in dialling 911 and telling them what happened...I cry on the phone and tell them that my dad nearly raped my baby sister and then flung her out through the glass door.

I sit in the hospital waiting for some news but no one has came to see me since I arrived and that was four hours ago. My dad was a coward and fled from the house before he could be arrested so the police are watching over me and Jasmine.

“Eric?” I nod my head at the doctor that’s all I can do or else I’ll break down in tears. “I’m doctor Shard your sister Jasmine is stable and you’ll be able to see her soon, because of the bump to her head she can’t remember what happened and is very scared she keeps asking for her daddy....it will be up to you Eric what you tell her as you are her brother”

“Can I see her now?”

“Yes but I should warn you the girl in that room won’t look like your little sister, she has two broken ribs and the rest are bruised, her spine is bruised and her arms are severely cut from all the glass”

I enter the room and before me is the horror of my little sister there are wires and machines everywhere, her body is covered in many dressing from her stomach to her legs. I walk over to her trying to control the tears that are threatening to spill from my eyes. I place a gentle kiss on her forehead and she stirs.

“Eric, what happened?”

“Well sweetie...you...fell....threw a window”

“I want daddy, where’s daddy?”

“He left jazz”

“No daddy please I want daddy”

“He isn’t coming back Jazz”

She looks up at me and starts crying “Daddy gone, daddy promised he wouldn’t leave me”

“Sh, go to sleep Jazz everything’s going to be Ok and I promise you that I will never ever leave you”

“I love you Eric”

“I love you too Jazz”

I sit there for a while longer until she goes to sleep. After a while the door opens and expect it to be a nurse or a doctor and I would have never guessed that my dad would have the audacity to come here.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to see my baby girl”

“She isn’t your baby girl anymore and I am no longer your son”

“You are my son Eric and I’m sorry it was just this once I just...lost it ....I promise it will never happen again...let me see my baby girl”

“NO YOU ALMOST KILLED HER!”

“Eric move out of my way Jasmine needs her father right now”

“Yes she needed her father but you aren’t him because my father would never touch his little girl!”

“Eric I’m warning you move....Now!” I flinch back at the tone of his voice he rolls his eyes and pushes me to the ground. He opens the door and I get to my feet but not fast enough, I watch as he strokes my sister’s hair and place a kiss on her forehead just like I did, he turns to face me and he puts his fingers to his lips as if telling me to be quiet.

“Leave”

“You dare tell your father to leave you insolent boy”

“No she’s sleeping and I don’t want to wake her”

“Well I want my baby girl to wake up so that I can take her home”

“If you take her from the hospital she could get worse”

“I’m her father I know what’s best for my baby girl, so don’t you dictate to me”

I go to say something but am interrupted when there is a knock on the door.

“Eric, its agent Matthew’s may I come in?”

“Yes!”

As soon as I say it my father lunges for the door. Agent Matthew’s comes through the door and my dad slams his head into the wall making him loose his balance. He grabs the agent’s gun and I run to my sister to protect her there’s no telling what he could do in this state.

I hear a gun shot, then a second along with a groan of pain, then a third and then nothing but silence.

My dad stands up and walks over to me with blood on his hands.

“Take the IV out of her it’s time to go home”

“Did you hear what I said boy?”

I quickly take the IV out of her arm.

“Good now move” I do as he says fearful for not only my life but my sisters. He lifts her into his arms and I look around the room trying to see agent Matthew’s but all I can see is a trail of blood that leads out the door thankfully my dad hasn’t noticed as he is too preoccupied with Jasmine.

The next thing I know the room is swarmed with cops.

“Put the girl down and drop the weapon!”

One of the agents pulls me into him and I watch as my dad looks down at my little sister “I’m so sorry baby girl” he lets his arms go and my sister falls from his grip and I dive to catch her “But you’ll be an angel in heaven now” there is a sickening thud as my sister hits the ground for the second time today.

My dad shoots the gun once before being tackled to the ground by a few of the cops and they arrest him.

I struggle to get my little sister back onto the bed and one of the cops helps me.

“I promise you Eric I will have my baby girl and I’ll make your life a living hell boy”

*flashback over*

“That was the last time I saw my father. Jazz remained in hospital for 2 weeks and thankfully she never remembered anything that happened so I told her once again dad had left. He got twelve years in prison and will be out soon, he will come looking for her and I need to be ready”

“You’re being honest with me?” Damon asks and it takes everything within me not to hit him around the head.

“This is the truth...I sold my sister to you Damon because she’s in danger not only from Dominick but also from our father”
