"Jungkook, save me!" My little sister screamed as she was hit by a strong hand, that once was safe to hold. The person that I once called my father, my dad, slapped her so hard that she stopped to cry.

I hate this so much.

I wanted to cry so bad, but I had to be a strong brother for her. I had to keep a straight face, to reassure her that everything would be okay in the end.

It wasn't okay. None of it was.

But it was the end.

"Sarah, darling, everything's gonna be alright! Just look at me. Look at me and nothing is gonna happen. It's just a bad dream, I swear. Just a nightmare." She whimpered, lying on the floor and staring at me with so much fear in her eyes, her body was shaking uncontrollably.

She was 8 years old.

"But why do I n-not wake up when it hurts so much?", she sobbed, not realizing that I was even more afraid than her.
Dad was gone in a moment. Probably buying booze again or taking drugs. I don't care.

The only thing I cared about was Sarah and that I couldn't move. And that the time was ticking fast.

Dad tied me to a kitchen chair and I felt more vulnerable than ever. More scared, because Sarah was lying on the floor, losing a lot of blood.

I wish I could have saved her.

"Sarah, listen closely. You have to crawl to me, so I can help you, ... no Sarah, please don't cr-" , Sarah broke out in tears and I started to shake uncontrollably, feeling incredibly caged at the moment. The tears started to well up in my eyes as well and I blinked them away before they could escape. Her breathing got heavier and heavier by the second. The blood was flowing steadily out of the wound in her stomach, inflicted by a knife.

Be strong. Don't cry. You can do this.

"Sarah, I love you. Sarah, please listen. If we hold together, we can do this. Everything's okay."

I couldn't stop the tears from welling up as I looked at her. But she suddenly stopped crying, her eyes started to flutter as she looked completely and utterly tired of everything. I knew what this was. It was the moment when the pain is suddenly gone. The calm before the end.

No.

My body was shaking so bad and I was still unable to move because of the ropes that were tied around my body. All I saw was water and blood.

"Kookie, it doesn't hurt anymore... It feels like I'm floating, Kookie..." she muttered, barely a whisper and her eyes were slowly closing, each breath extremely slow and heavy. It felt like my heart was being ripped out.

"Kookie, can you sing me to sleep?", her eyes are now fully closed and she couldn't even form the words properly. I was not able to take my eyes off of her, taking every moment in. As it was our last.

"Don't think of anything,
Don't say anything,
Not even a word,
Just give me a smile.

I still can't believe this,
All of this seems like a dream,
Don't try to disappear."

I continued to sing as she was drifting into sleep. She looked so fragile.

Just like a butterfly.

"I love you, baby girl." My cries were getting quieter, as I have never seen her so peaceful before. Still, my heart has never ached so bad, it felt like with every heavy breath she took, a puzzle piece was ripped out of my heart, leaving it with nothing but a hollow space, where once love was found.
I knew, it would never be normal again.
I knew, it would never be the same again.

I knew, it was over.

And as she took her last breath and muttered: "I love you too, Kookie.", barely audible, it all went black.
