Chapter 7
Sage's POV
Ive been noticing that Amira has been acting strange for the past week.
I know she's always likes to keep to herself but something tells me it's not the same. I don't know what's wrong with her yet but I tend to find out.
Soon.
At first, I thought it was she was getting depressed again. When she was 11 years old she suffered from depression. It wasn't that bad so when we gave her the help she needed she was able to recover from it.
Now, I think she might be getting depressed again. I've noticed that the strange behavior started around the time Daniel said he hated her. But, about a week ago is when Liam started noticing something was up as well.
Maybe it has something to do with Daniel. I mean come on, who wouldn't be depressed if they put their dad in jail, though he deserved it, lost their mother and now have your brother tell you he hates you.
By now I'm fuming. There's no way he can do this to my baby sister. I stomp my way up the stairs and push the door open to his room.
He's just sitting there casually texting someone on his phone. For some reason this got me even more angry so I flew the phone across the room and punched him square in the jaw.
"Dude, what the fuck!" He yelled at me.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I say but not too loud because I don't want Amira to hear us.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why would you tell her you hate her? Are you fucking dumb?"
"Because I do hate her. She killed mom and put our dad in jail!" He screamed.
"First of all, lower your voice I don't want her to hear us. And second of all, she did not kill mom it was our psychotic father who did. Don't put the blame on her because she was just brave enough to speak up. She was fucking eight years old what did you expect her to do?! Huh? Keep getting raped just to keep you happy?"
"Well, if it would have kept mom alive..." He muttered.
I couldn't believe my ears. What the fuck was he saying? He would rather have our baby sister get raped numerous amount of times by her own father then have her speak up and tell someone.
"You're a fucking ass. You know that? She did the right thing and you know it. Now what does she get for doing the right thing? She gets bullied from the entire school and she has her brother tell her he hates her. Man, I thought you were raised better than this. You better get your shit together because I think you may have caused her to go into depression again." With my words probably lingering in his head I stormed out of the room to make dinner.
Hmm, I thought to myself, maybe since she hasn't been feeling well I'll make her favorite dish. A roast dinner. I start on dinner and once it's done I call everyone down.
I can literally see the drool dripping from Amira's mouth and I chuckle softly at this.
We all take our seats to start eating. Liam and I try making small talk with her but, she's basically avoiding any form of communication with us.
"Umm, I'm finished may I be excused?" Amira says softly.
"Yah, sure I guess." Liam answers.
I take a quick look at her plate and notice that it is still filled with food. I scrunch my eyebrows as to why she wouldn't eat al of her favorite dinner when I saw it.
She's skinnier than usual and she's more pale. I watch her walk to the sink to place her dishes and notice that her hands are kind of shaky like they are too weak to hold the dishes up.
As soon as she leaves the room, I look at Liam and say, "She has an eating disorder."
"How do you know?" Liam asks.
"Just look at her. She's skinnier, paler and weaker. And to top it off, she still had a ton of food on her plate." I argue.
"Maybe she just wasn't hungry." Liam suggest.
"No, this is her favorite meal she always eats it all."
"Fuck." Daniel says before standing up and exiting the dining room.
