Isabelle's pov
I walked around the hospital corner to the vending machine, I looked up and down at the delicious snacks that were displayed before me.Alright lets see Doritos.......cookies....... snickers, hmmmppphhhh, whats a good snack you should eat when celebrating a death? or at least i wish that bitch died. who does she think she is? I'm 16, she's 15 , it's not a big age difference but she needs to learn some god damn respect. Always thinking she's better than me. Oh well I've made up my mind , I want Doritos, and i also want her to pay for coming into my life." excuse me young lady" I turned my head to see who was talking to me, it was a nurse, she looked like a stripper.... all her breast's were out, her uniform was skin tight and her lipstick was bright red, and some of it was stained on her teeth. She had long black weave that looked old.... really old."you cant be in this section of the hospital, it's were we keep all the supplies."She said looking uninterested "oh i was just getting a snack," I read her name tag, Malikia.What a ghetto name "Oh you're Malikia? a doctor with a white beard said he needed you down on the other side of the hospital" i said lying through my teeth."white beard?" she asked " do you mean Mr.pitsburg?"she asked looking rather confused,this hospital is really big. '"yeah Mr.Pitsburg, that's the guy". she looked down the hallway "he could have just called,"she began walking down the hallway, just as i planned, i made sure she was out of sight, i ran over to her desk and looked for her wallet, "40 dollars.... thank you, ooohhh your husband is cute, i'll be sure to pay him a visit" i mumbled to myself, then i took the keys to the blood room, this is gonna be fun ...... where's Donte?
Donte's pov
Please god let Aiko be ok. I let the tear that formed in my eye drop to the floor, I'm 17 years old, I almost.... she could have...... oh god. my hands started to shake. Why couldn't i just stand up to Isabelle? why couldn't I tell her i never wanted to hurt Aiko.I never hated Aiko, I always loved her, but I never knew how to show it, and when she rejected me .... my anger ... it got the best of me,another tear dropped to the floor followed by another, followed by another, Isabelle has taken this way too far, and it's gonna get worse unless i do something to protect Aiko. But i don't have the balls to stand up to my Little sister......it's all because of that night... and the first few nights Aiko came to stay with us.
6 Years ago
it was raining that day,i was only 11, watching my afternoon cartoons as usual. when Isabelle came busting in my room "DONTEEEEEEE DONTEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" her eyes were wide cute and full of life imagination and more life. "whats wrong Izzy?" I smiled at her , I loved my sister,"Donte look what I drew for you in class today, it's me you and mommy!" I looked at the picture , she was simply adorable, I smiled at her and hung the picture up on the wall. I looked back at her to see her cheesing. I laughed," why are you smiling so hard?" I asked, she looked at me blushing with big wide eye's, "Donte....I just want us to stay like this for ever and ever ..... because ....... because ......" she looked up at me blushing. "because what? lzzy, tell me" she turned around,but soon looked back at me, leaned in, and.. "Donte i love you" she came closer, so i pulled her into a brotherly hug,"Izzy" I ,chuckled awkwardly "I love you too Izzy, i will always love you, your my sister" she pulled away," No " she said, with disappointment in her eye's. "I..." before she could say another word i heard the downstairs door bust open, and the smell of autumn rain filled the room, i'll never forget that smell." DONTE!!! ISABELLE!!!!!"it was my mom, i looked at the clock 3:05, she's home way too early, something's up.I grabbed Isabelle's hand and pulled her down with me to where my mom was, and there she was,resting peacefully in my mom's arms was... 9 year old Aiko, when i first got a look at her my whole world froze.Like an angel asleep in the night, milk chocolate skin, that looked butter soft. I looked up at my mom, her lips were moving as she looked at me, but I just couldn't hear her. As i stared at this girl, i noticed her head was wrapped in bandages, her hair , it was a huge dark, and soft looking Afro, with a bandana with flowers on it. she was a beauty, she had on a pink dress,under her black jacket and scarf. Her eye's were closed but i desperately wanted to see them. "Whats her name" i heard my self ask after what seemed like an eternity of questionable stare's,my mom finally answered. "Her name is Aiko, she's your cousin,her mom....." A tear fell to the floor." Whats wrong mommy?" Isabelle asked with her eye's still planted firmly on Aiko. "her mom was killed and so was her father, so she will be staying with us for now on" more tears slipped from her eye's. i walked over to her and took Aiko from her arms, she was light, and i was right, her skin was butter soft. As soon as I took Aiko from her arms she collapsedto the ground, tears , and prayers to god all at the same time. "Izzy , stay here with mama" i looked at her with my serious big brother look. " but why? where are you taking her?" she asked ." to your room" i said simply. she looked at me with a Little shock. "but.." she said. I looked at her again seriously" but nothing didn't you hear mama we have to look after Aiko now, she needs us,so that means we have to do everything we can for her". Before she could say anything else i was half way up the stairs,i entered iizzy's room,and closed the door a Little bit. I laid Aiko on the bed took off her jacket , then her scarf, and then her shoes. she smelt just like the autumn rain. I took off her stockings and put some socks on her. then i put her under the covers, took one last look at this .... stranger ,then left the room to go see if Isabelle had done what i told her to.
