Chapter Ten <3

In a blink of an eye you can lose someone you love. In a matter a seconds the light from someone's eyes can disappear right in front of your very own eyes. It doesn't matter how they went or when. You don't really know the feeling unless you have lost someone you cared about. You just want to collapse in a ball on the ground and disappear. When you lose someone you feel like there is something missing. Just walking into a room can bring back a thousand memories from when they were there. I can still hear the sirens. I can still see everyone's look on their faces when I would come to school with a bruised face. I can still smell the blood that dripped down my mother's face in that last moment she was alive. I can still feel the pain from my fathers fist hitting my face those many times. I remember the taste of blood that filled my mouth from just one plow to the face. Losing my mother caused me pain in many ways. My so called father isn't my father. A father is someone who cares for you and would do anything for you. The only thing he would do for me is lift his hand to me.

I promised my brother I would go back and safe him from our abusive father. I need to get him out of that prison. He didn't deserve to grow up in a house with that pure evil man. I wish I could've saved him.

Everything came quickly rushing into my mind as I stepped onto the front porch of my old house. The sound of knocking brought me back to life out of my memories. Nerviness was in the cold evening air. I stood still in my tracks still somewhere lost in my thoughts. Connor quickly brought me back to reality by putting his hand on my shoulder . He stood there shacking in his shoes with his fist up to the door. I looked behind at the street that I used to play in with my brother then back to the old crumpling house. I put my hand on the knob of the house that I left with scars and bruises. I just froze in thought, Connor put his arm  around my shacking shoulders . He knew I needed to do this, I need to keep my brother safe. Connor knocked one more time and a silence quickly approached us. I put my hand on the dusty knob again but this time turning it. I was gifted by the old creaking door opening. A offal smell overcame us as we slowly stepped into the empty house. I quickly made my way to the stairs. I stood at the end of the stairs with my hand on the railing. I took a step back not feeling sure about where I was going. I felt someone take my hand from behind me then Connor stepped onto the first step. I looked Connor in his eyes and gave him a small sad smile. We slowly walked up the stairs holding hands. I quickly let go of Connors hand as Jakes room came into my sight. I walked down the dark and gloomy  hallway leaving Connor at the top of the creaking stairs. I called out Jakes name and my thoughts were the only thing I could hear. I jogged up to his closed door and stopped. I took a deep breath and in that moment I knew that something was wrong. In that moment I just wanted to shut my eyes and disappear.

I opened the door to find my brother beaten up on the floor next to his bed. I ran to his motionless body. I cupped his head in my hands and looked into his lightless blue eyes. I put my hand in his dirty blonde hair playing with it like he used to do with my hair.  He was gone, there was no bring him back. I dived my head into his chest and let out a scream. I looked all over the room not knowing what to do. I turned my head to a speechless Connor at the door way.



Kat: "Do something, He can't just be gone. I need him!"



I pushed myself to my feet but then shattered back down to my brother's cold feet. I grabbed his blood covered hand. I failed him. I was supposed to protect him. I made a promise to him that I would come back for him and save him. He can't be gone. I don't believe it. My heart dropped into my stomach and shattered when I saw my brothers died body on the ground. Now the pieces of glass are stabbing me every breath I take. I closed my eyes tight wishing I could be out of this situation. I want to go to sleep and not wake up, be with my brother. Connor came over to my curled up body on the ground and put his hands on my back. I lifted my head up looking deep into his saddened eyes then shutting them letting tears escape. My whole body went numb in those few seconds. I picked my feet up then left the room crying. I ran down the creepy hallway to the stairs holding my stomach. It felt like someone was gripping my stomach tight. I put my other hand on the wall for balance. He is really gone. I stumped down the stairs with a depressed Connor falling me. I stood at the bottom of the stairs staring at the wall. Soon I shut my eyes and clumped to the floor screaming my brother's name. I felt a hand on my wrist gripping me to my feet still with my eyes shut. I slowly opened them and didn't find Connor holding my wrist. It was my father. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. I stepped back slowing falling to the ground with my father who beat my brother to death at my feet. I finally let out a scream hoping Connor would find me. I hopped up from my spot and ran up the stairs. Half way up the stairs there was a tug on my ankle. My face then hit the steppes. A cold rough hand flipped me around. He lifted  his fist in the air in front of my scared face. He swung his arm to my check leaving a burning sensation. I closed my eyes waiting for a second blow but nothing came. I slowly opened my tear filled eyes. He wasn't there. I lifted half of my body up. I screamed for Connor afraid he would come back. I heard footsteps and lifted my head to look at the top of the stairs. Connor was there with fear in his perfect green eyes. He ran down the stair and needled down to me. He put his warm hand on my check and I hissed in return. He tangled his hand in my wavy brown hair starring into my blue eyes, not leaving them. I think he was afraid if he looked away I would wouldn't be there anymore. He put his lips to my forehead, with tears in my eyes I put my hand on his cheek. He picked me up and carried me to the car. He sat me down and closed the door then got in the driver seat. He just froze and spaced out or a moment before starting the car. We didn't say anything the whole car ride home. I just looked at my feet thinking and Connor looking back in forth from the rode to me to make sure I was okay. In a blink of an eye you can lose someone you love. I broke a promise today. I promised my brother I would go back for him but I didn't. I was to late.
