when sorry
isn't good enough

Sin was balled up under her covers, crying her eyes out at the memories. All this did was remind her of her fucked up past and all the fucked up people in it. She remembered the man that had took her in years ago because of everything she had been through. He was a drug dealer named Mano. He had love for her like no other but one day, he wasn't there. She watched another woman get raped in front of her as the other men held her down. She thought nothing of it until she found out that that woman was her birth mother.

People always told her; what goes around, come around. I guess what happened just came around.

Her apartment was a mess from window to door. Calib wasn't alone when he came here obviously. They even took her new silk robe.

Sin wasn't usually so emotional but she was crying her eyes out from this tramautic experience. She didn't know what to do. She had never felt so helpless. She buried her face in the pillow, the cover surrounding her finally clothed body. She had brushed her tongue so many times it ached and every breath felt like she was sucking mint-air.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

Her phone was ringing... again. This time she reached out and answered it, her eyes still red from crying so much. Calm down, stop being a pussy. She told herself before answering.

"Hello?"

"It's Wyn. I'm outside." He said unto the phone.

Sin started breathing calmly, his name triggered. "Fuck you, Wyn-"

"Yo, what the fuck is up with you?" He asked.

"Calib said he's looking for you." She told him before hanging up on his face.

"What happened?" Taylor asked as she entered the room with the girls. "And I thought y'all were hanging with Dayton and Maison after school."

China nodded before looking at Reiya. "I don't know what's been going on lately but... Chase texted me, telling me she was bringing auntie here but when I got here Chase had blood on her shirt and told me I wouldn't understand before she left." Rei explained.

"She had blood on her shirt?" Taylor asked looking at the two.

"Years ago our doctor said Chase has bipolar disorder.. sometimes she just lashes out and gets really violent. But it's been years since her last episode. She just started getting distant and antisocial and dancing would make her feel better so we all started ballet but..." China looked down at her mother. "You think Chase did this?"

Reiya looked at China worriedly. If Chase did do this they had to find her before she did something worse like kill herself. "Auntie please stay here with her, we have to find her." Rei said as she started heading out.

"Wait, where are the boys?" Taylor asked.

As Rei and China ran out, Rei yelled back. "They had to see their boss or something."

"Boss?"

Roni eyed the hospital as the two girls came running out. She watched them get into a car and pull off. Sin was beside her, watching too.
