Bloody Roses #Ange

Two

🥀🥀🥀

As Jonah and I walked down the stairs, I pointed out pictures of family. Once we got to one of a girl around 16 or 17 with brown hair and teal eyes.

I stopped at looked at her. Jonah stopped also.

"Hey who's that?" He asked. I shook my head.

"It's my sister. She... Disappeared... My mother never got over it, I bet even in heaven she's still not over it..."

"Oh, I'm sorry... So what happened to your mother?" My breath hitched, and Jonah noticed it. "Um. You don't have to tell me how..."

"No, no it's ok... As I said before, my father was a drug addict and a drunk. He hurt my mother and I.... If I didn't do what he said he would kill her, so I listened to him. Turns out he ended up killing her anyway. And it wasn't his punches, his kicks, he started her. The last time I saw her... She was only skin and bone. But my father wasn't always like that. He used to be a successful lawyer. He had golden hair and teal eyes. He also wore glasses, he only needed them for reading though...

He provided for our family, he was a loving husband and father. Then he got fired from his job. He loved his job, he was good at it too. But no one would hire someone who got fired, so he got bitter and cold. His once golden locks turned gray, his lively teal eyes turned dull. He was never the same.... And my sister, well she ran away and left me behind... When she left I was only 5, so she thought that I would be better without her. That is the last picture we had of her, she is 16 in this picture. It was a few months before she left..." I felt tears streaming down my face. Jonah started rubbing my back.

"Thanks for trusting me enough to tell me all this Angel..." I turned around and hugged him and cried into his shirt. He hugged me back gently and rubbed my back, trying to get me to calm down. Once I did we walked downstairs for dinner. I sat next to Julia and Jonah sat next to me. Once everyone was seated my uncle, his name is Harry. He has black hair and hazel eyes.

Anyways, he started praying.

"Thank you Lord for providing us with this food in Jesus name. Amen."

"Amen." We all said. Once we started eating, I realized my uncle was glaring at Jonah. Jonah shifted awkwardly in his seat once he realized my uncle was staring at him. I placed my hand on his shoulder. Jonah looked hesitantly at me. I just smiled and nodded at him. He tilted his head in confusion. I just giggled.

"So, Uncle. This is Jonah Hin. He is a friend from school, he came earlier and I invited him to dinner." I said breaking the silence. My uncle looked at me and then back at Jonah.

"Ah yes. Hello Jonah, now as you know, I am not Angel's birth father. But I treat her like she is my own daughter, so please be by her side when I cannot." Jonah looked briefly at me and then back at my uncle.

"Yes sir, I will be there for Angel. I promise." I blushed slightly at that. My uncle nodded, while smiling. I tapped Jonah's shoulder. He looked at me and I whispered in his ear.

"You got on his good side, stay there ok?" I then pulled away and looked at Jonah, he nodded at me and then we returned to our food. A few minutes later of silence. I felt a pull on my sleeve and I looked to see Julia.

"Um, sister, is that your boyfriend?" She asked me. I choked on my food. I quickly drank some of my drink and looked back at Julia.

"Um no, he is not my boyfriend." I said sweat dropping. My face heated up madly.

"Oh, ok. Can I hang out with you and your friend after dinner?" She asked me.

"Of course." I said smiling.

-Time Skippy to after dinner-

Once we were done with dinner Jonah and I walked back upstairs. Before I went up I felt a tug on my sleeve again. I looked over to see Julia and she held out her arms. I giggled and picked her up. Once Jonah, Julia and I were in my room we all sat down. Jonah sat on the beanbag this time and Julia sat on my lap while I sat on the bed.

"So Jonah, I don't think you and Julia were properly introduced. Julia, Jonah. Jonah, Julia." Julia jumped off my lap and walked over to Jonah. She studied him for a minute or so. He started fidgeting with his sleeve. Suddenly Julia smiled widely and jumped on top of Jonah and hugged him.

"Big bro!!" She said to him. He chuckled and hugged Julia back. I giggled at them. Soon Julia pushed away from Jonah lightly and skipped over to me. She then grabbed my arm and pulled me over to Jonah. When she stopped suddenly I tripped on air and landed on Jonah. I stared at Jonah and he stared at me, both our faces red. Julia giggled and jumped on top of both of us. I laughed as Julia pulled at Jonah's hair. I righted myself and sat on what I thought was the beanbag. Julia then jumped off of Jonah and I and ran to my bed. Once she was on it I realized I was sitting on Jonah's lap. I looked at Jonah.

"U-um, so sorry Jonah. I will get up." As I was about to get up Jonah grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug. I blushed madly but hugged him back. Soon I felt someone nudging between us. We both looks to see Julia trying to get in the hug. We both laughed and hugged Julia as well. Once we all separated we decided to play a game.

"Now, what game should we play?" Jonah asked.

"The tickle game!!!" Julia shouted, I laughed at her. I sat up from on the bed and put my hands on my hips.

"Well, the tickle monster is going to come and get you Julia." I said evilly. I then started walking slowly towards Julia and then jumped on the bed next to her and started tickling her. She started laughing uncontrollably. After a minute of doing this Jonah then jumped on to the bed as well.

"Noo, I will save you Julia." He said laughing and then pulled me off of Julia and he started tickling me. I laughed so hard.

"S--Stop...! Oh my... God, stop! Th--That tickles!!" I said through my laughter. Jonah chuckled and stopped tickling me. I sat up and an evil grin came upon my face. I then jumped on top of Jonah and started tickling him. He couldn't stop laughing.

"Stop! Please... Hahahahahaha... I'll do anything!!" I stopped and laughed at him.

"Now we're all even." I smirked. I looked over to Julia, and saw that she was sleeping. I smiled at her and gently tucked her in my bed. I slowly grabbed Jonah's arm and walked outside my room.
