Shattered Pieces

"Conversions?"

Josh's P.O.V.

Fuck. Not. Again. Not Sarah too.

Last year Karah went through a really bad depression. We didn't tell Sarah or mom. I snuck her to the doctor and they prescribed antidepressants. She's gotten a lot better. I hope. But not Sarah too. Fuck.

*Flashback*

"Hey Karah!", I said opening her bedroom door, "You wanna watch a movie?" she had just broken up with her boyfriend. But, she wouldn't tell me why. I just wanted to cheer her up. She wasn't in her room so I checked the bathroom. She was sitting in the bathtub crying, covered in blood. Her hand was shaking and she was about to make a sixth cut into her wrist. She stopped and looked at me. I ran to her and crouched by the bathtub.

"Karah! Karah look at me now!" she raised her head from her hands and looked at me. "Shit Kare-bear!" I reached under the sink and got the gauze to wrap her arm up. Mom was at work and Sarah was at a friend's house for the weekend so we were alone. I spent the night sitting on her bed with her holding her while she cried. All she kept saying was,

"Seth, Seth, Seth...", over and over. I didn't know what had happened between them but when I went to yell at him he called the cops for trespassing.

*End Of Flashback*

Me and Karah went down to the kitchen to wait for Sarah. That Jackson kid followed us down there.

"Hey, is everything okay?", he asked Karah laying a comforting hand on her back.

"Uh, yeah just something with my sister. You can leave if you want to."

"Not a chance Sweet Cheeks. Not unless you force me to. First of all, your mom isn't home yet and second I don't know what just happened but you both look like you need a friend so I'm staying." It was then I realized, he was right, mom still wasn't home. I picked up my phone and dialed her cell,

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.

Nothing. Just voicemail.

We moved to the living room and sat on the couches. I looked out the window and noticed it starting to get really windy. Trees were blowing and it was really loud. I glanced at Karah and noticed her eyes full of tears as she stared out the window. I jumped up and went to her, pulling her so close she was practically on my lap. She gripped my shirt tightly and cried. The night that her and Seth broke up, she ran into the house late at night. It was really windy and loud outside and she was a mess. She ran upstairs before I could ask what was wrong and went to sleep by the time I went to her. The next day she had a ton of makeup on. She hated wearing makeup but I shook it off and asked what happened. She told me and mom that her and Seth broke up like she was telling us the weather. It was later when we were alone and I asked what really happened, then she broke down crying. Telling me how they had a fight and she had to walk all the way home late at night. In the wind. About 6 miles. I fucking hate that guy so much for hurting my baby sister. I looked at Jackson from over Karah's shoulder. He looked confused and worried but, I just shook my head and he somehow understood. Just then, the front door swung open and mom walked through the door. Karah immediately jumped up and ran to her.

"Mom! Where were you!?"

"I'm so sorry guys! My car wouldn't start and I had to call a cab that took forever! Where's Sarah?", she asked looking around. Karah turned and looked at me and I could tell she was silently pleading for me to do the same thing I did with her.

"Oh she was upstairs listening to music and reading. I'll go get her.", I said standing up. I walked up the stairs slowly to Sarah's room. I knocked on the door softly,
