Chapter 15

Antonio

I had heard and saw how guys treated their little sisters who were in my gang.Like princesses,there was nothing they could do to dissapoint there big brothers.Their brothers took care of them beating anyone who came close to hurting them to a pulp.Becuase they were family and that's all that mattered.

Ain't nothing thicker than blood is how they put it.

I used to wish I had a younger sister.To take care of.

Then,she came.She could of qualified as blood.But right from the start we tore her down.Now she's gone.

Maybe,she would've fought harder if she had something to actually fight for.

I never understood it.How people went through life with a smile on their face.

I for one could never do that.But Nya.She would laugh and,mess around all day.Not even Trying to,and people would follow her.

Entranced people would adore her.

I sit back horrified at what I just read.

Fourteen years of going in and out of foster homes.No wonder she could take a hit so well.She'd been hit all her life.

No one cared.No one tried to stop it all.Usually by the third bad home the kid snitches enough to get one with nice old people.

Not her.Now seeing her.She had so much perseverance.She had endured so much in her short life and wasn't visibly fazed by it.A kid like her should wetting the bed every time she closes her eyes.

The memory of her crying in her sleep comes back to me.

She has been hurt by it all,she never shows it.Hides it all just underneath her sleeves.

"I tried!"she had cried out.

Its all my fault.I'm the one who broke her beyond repair.I'm the one who busted down those fourteen year old walls she'd put up to protect herself.From all the people who had tried to get in her head.

I'm the one who haunts her dreams at night.I feel wet warm tears begin to fall down my face.What have I done?

Nya

We have something to show you.They had come in and said.I shook my head.

"Oh,come on you don't even know what it is."

"And I don't want to find out."I say turning to face the wall.

"I guess you don't want to know who you are."He says.

Damn!

I'm to curious for my own good.

"What are you talking about?"I ask him.

"Your life.How it could have been if you'd been with us."

"Nothing!"I shout jumping up."It would've all been a big pile of nothing!Just like you!"I see his face get red.His anger is on the rise.Four years ago I might'v been scared,but not anymore.I can fight and I know it..

"Wanna dance pretty boy?I can garuntee you you'll lose."I say smirking.

He stomps out of the room and slams the door behind him.I wait,I hear him walking downstairs.

Gotch!I turn the knob easily.

"Sucker!"I whisper putting my shoes on.There's a window that's just a pain latch window at the end of the hallway.I slide it up and look out.There's a ten foot drop.Damn!I'll have to chance it.It's all I've got right now.I put one leg out and sit there.One buttcheek in and the other out and free.I giggle,I am such an idiot.
