Broken (Finished)

Little Sis

Chapter 27

Jade's pov

I walked along the sidewalk of a busy street. You don't know how much I wanted to walk out in front of a car right then.

It took me an hour and a half to walk to the storage units, and I was piss tired by the time I reached them. I looked all around for my number as I whispered it to myself repeatedly.

"247. 247. 247. Aha!" I said to myself as I stood in front of the big, bright orange door. I dug for the brass key in my back pocket for a few seconds before feeling the smooth metal against my fingers.

I quickly put the key into the padlock of the unit and hear a quiet little "click", signaling that it's unlocked.

I lift up the small unit and see my belongings strewn across the concrete floor. It seems they thought I was dead, and didn't bother to drop my things off with care.

I sigh as I go over to one of my three suitcases. I unzip it to find all of my favorite clothes. "My only clothes now, actually." I say to myself as I reach for a pair of my skinny jeans and my rabid vest from Dropdead.

I peeled off the old t-shirt I had worn today and slipped off the black skinnies. I stared down at my black panties and admired them for a brief second.

I know, I'm weird.

I slipped on my skinny jeans and was about to pull on my vest until I heard the distinct sound of a camera 'click'.

I quickly turned and saw a pair of what seemed to be two high-school nobody's.

They were snickering and clicking away on their camera until they saw me staring at them. Before they could even breathe, u slipped on the shirt and started running after them.

"You fucking losers!!" I screamed at them. They were both pretty fast, but I had been running all week.

I tackled them both at one time and snatched the camera up. I threw it on the ground, where I repeatedly stomped it to pieces.

I had a sinister look on my face and, just for effect, I reached in my back pocket and pulled out my pocket-knife.

"You wanna be perverts? Huh?! You wanna spy on girls for your own fun?! ANSWER ME YOU FUCKING DIRTBAGS!" I scream at them, waving the knife around.

"I have had a shit day. And you two have just contributed to that. Now, I think a little money will help ease my pain." I say, holding my hand out expectantly.

They both dig in their pockets furiously, shaking as they hand me the crumpled bills.

I spit on the ground near them.

"Get out of my face." I say calmly as I watch them scurry away. Then all of the power and control fades and I realize what I just did.

"Holy fuck. I just robbed somebody." I exclaim to myself. My wide eyes stared at the bills in my one hand and the knife in the other.

"Oh shit, Jade?" I hear a boy's voice behind me. I turn to the voice, my eyes landing on Marco's face.

"I was about to call the cops on you! What the fuck did you just do?!" He exclaims as he comes closer to me.

I back away. "Don't come any closer. I-I don't know what came over me. I just got so angry at them and I had the knife and.." I trail off as I feel my heart swell with guilt.

"I don't know what's happening to me.." I say. I feel water land on my face and I instinctively wipe it away.

"Shit. Why do I always cry?" I ask in frustration as I wipe the never-ending streams of water.

"It's not you this time.." Marco says and I look up to see the sky in a depressing grey color, water falling at a rapid speed.

"Can I go back to your place?" I ask quietly. He looks a little surprised, but smiles at me. "Sure. You look like you need a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa." He says warmly. My face lights up.

"Thank you so much! You're a life saver." I say, grinning wide. "Anything to help a friend." He says as he leads me back to the storage unit.

"I was walking and I thought I saw you down here, so I checked It out and that's how I saw the whole robbery thing." He says as he lifts up the suitcase containing my clothes.

"Can you not call it that? How about you call it something like, 'they got what they deserved for being perverts.' " I say, trying to make what I just did sound better than it really was.

We walk for a few more minutes, and by the time we reach his house, I'm a freezing and shivering mess.

I run up the stairs and land on the couch. I hug my knees to my chest and try to warm up.

Marco leaves the room for a short period of time and brings back a big blanket. I reach my arms out for the bundle and he hands it to me. I wrap it around me and relished in the new warmth that surrounded me.

"Want some cocoa?" Marco asks as he enters the room with two mugs filled with hot chocolate. "Thanks" I smile at him.

The room fills with a comfortable silence as me and him sip on hot chocolate. I decide to speak first.

"You're being really nice to me." I sate blankly. "Well, yeah. You're my friend." He answers. "I mean, after what happened. Why do you still take care of me?" I ask quietly.

"Because... You're like a little sister to me. I don't want anything to happen to you." He says sincerely. My frown of confusion turns into a smile.

"Thanks. I, uh, I've never had a sibling before.. So having a big brother could be pretty cool, I guess." I answer with a smile. I yawn without even realizing I was tired. "Sorry. The events of today have kind of whooped my butt." I say as I finish off the last of the hot chocolate.

"I understand." Marco says as he gets up. "Do you want to sleep in my room while I take the couch?" He asks. "Nah." I yawn. "I've gotten pretty comfortable here. He nods in understanding.

"Goodnight." He says as he starts to walk out of the room. "Little sis."
