Only He Can Do It.

I wanna try something different so here goes...

Benny's P.O.V

I saw Alisa crying on the side of the pavement earlier, she seemed the most broken she ever has been. When she was in primary school she was severly bullied. To the point where going into school each day was just as bad as the day before. She's even come home with bruises from the amount of times she was beaten by her classmates.

What were the teachers at school doing? Nothing. Give the bullies detention, that's it. It angered me, but as a child myself I couldn't do anything about it. I have a mother who is hopeless. She purposely buried herself in so much work to faze herself out of this world.

Yes, I get that she still doesn't want to accept the fact that my father passed away, but who does? I've had to grow up quickly because of her. I had to be the one stepping into my father's shoes to take over the family.

Back to the point.

I see Alisa is broken, I was looking for her because she still wasn't home even though it was 4.15pm and her school finishes at 3pm. My worry levels when it comes to my baby sister run sky high. I love her so much and although she is only 15 years old the amount of struggles she's been through have been beyond what a girl her age needs to withstand.

It even breaks me seeing her broken.

I pick her up but don't ask for details just yet. But one thing by that catches my eye in the middle of the road is a smashed iPod and the earphones by its side. I'm pretty sure they're Alisa's. One thing I've learnt with my sister is that too many questions at once is a bad thing. For a person like herself, she will just get confused and her mind won't function properly.

It just shows that I've been there for her for so long, the longest someone has ever stuck by her. Why? She is my baby sister who is also my best friend. She supports me when I need her. I love her the most and even as we grow older she'll always be my top priority. She may not see it but she helps me too. I forever will be in her debt for being such a thoughtful person.

We get home and she dozes off in the car and now sleeps on the couch I set her down on earlier, I can see her face of pure exhaustion. I took her blazer off because she might get too hot but lay a thin blanket over her in case.

I go in the kitchen to make a turkey ham sandwich for when she wakes up because I know its her favourite sandwhich and know she'll appreciate it when she wakes up.

'Anabel!!! Leave us alone. No, Benny, no please. Don't go!!' I can hear her voice, she's practically shouting now, coming from the living room and rush to see what's happening, Anabel. The stupid ass who ruined my sister's life. Alisa is now crying in her sleep and once again it tears my heart that she feels so scared.

I run over to her to wake up up 'Ali, Ali wake up' I whisper in her ear so she can wake up and lightly shake her shoulder. She's a light sleeper so small things will wake her up easily.
'Benny!' My sister now wailing as she sees me and automatically sits up straight and hugs me tight, I hold her tighter because I know that whatever is to come next isn't going to be good.

Forward 10 minutes and Alisa is still crying in my arms, I'm pretty sure that there is now a pool of tears on the shoulder of my top but it really doesn't matter right now. I need to know why this is happening. My sister has been happy lately and almost a new person.

Every time I see her face light up as she smiles and her dark brown eyes glow with pure joy, its as if I automatically reflect those emotions and when she becomes this upset, it makes me extremely sad to see her like this too.

I slowly calm her down and as she just tightens her grip on me, I stroke her long, straight, black hair out of her face so it doesn't stick to her face. I plant a kiss on her forehead then make her face me and look me in the eye.

'Alisa. I don't want to hear anything except for the truth.'

She looks me straight in the eyes and nods. I know she trusts me just as I do her and I know that whatever it is after her now she will defeat it and become happy again. Just the matter of time.

'Anabel.' She starts. Its the one name that is able to make me weak at the knees, even though I'm sitting. But I stay strong for Alisa. My hands are gripped at both her arms and I can feel her muscles tense.

'She...sh-she. I...I...I saw... Anabel comes to my school.' She struggles with her words but pulls through and blurts the last sentence out.

'What?' My voice almost a whisper because my mind is racing with questions and endless horrible thoughts. I can feel a lump forming at my throat and the tears welling up for my sister. She is the one person I live for and everytime she plucks up some sort of courage she is corrupted by those around her.

Alisa nods. I feel her soft hand wipe the one tear that had rolled down my cheek. I didn't even notice it because my mind is so invested in what the future holds.
