Saved

Chapter 18

I had my earbuds in and was listening to music, when I heard my sister's screams in the next room. "Stop it! Get off of me!" I yanked my earbuds out and sprung up, rushing into her room, and stopping dead in my tracks. His body was pressed up against hers, and he slid one of her sleeves of her shirt off of her shoulder. I reached into my jeans pocket and pulled out the 100 dollar bill, holding it flat in my palm. I crumpled it up and shoved it back into my pocket. "Whatever. . ." I muttered to myself under my breath, turning around and walking out of the house, walking for a few blocks or so to the park. I sat a distance away from everyone else, underneath a tall oak tree. Alina's screams echoed through my head, torturing me and ripping me apart slowly. 'Why the hell would I do that?' I thought, thinking about the moment I took the 100 dollars from Damion.  I pulled up the sleeves of my hoodie, and curled up, thinking. After sitting there for a while, the guilt of what I'd agreed to sinking in, I pulled my pocketknife out of my back pocket and flipped it open.
