Inseparable

Reunited at last... but ending with a blast!

Dedicated to my bestie roshy since she's amazing and my long lost sister (metaphorically not literally) <3

Amelia pushed Michael away gently and looked around frantically. She then looked inside the house and breathed a sigh of relief. Michael, though confused, thought nothing of it and gazed at his sister adoringly. Amelia, wiping away her tears, sighed: "Oh look at me. I haven't even invited you in! Come in quickly!" 

They chatted for hours and talked about their life. Michael told Amelia all about Annabelle in detail. Amelia talked about her job as a primary school teacher and beckoned him to call Anna over who had gone home in order to give them privacy. The clock struck 12 and Annabelle finally came. Being the eccentric girl she was, she came in screaming: "Yay I smell Ravioli! Lets eat together." Then, noticing how rude she was, she hugged Amelia and they soon became close friends.    

 After lunch, Amelia and Michael were playing snakes and ladders whilst Anna was happily munching on a banana. "May you give me the honour of telling me why you aren't playing? Michael inquired, looking at Anna pointedly. Anna, abandoning the half eaten banana stuck her tongue out and yelled: "You can't handle my fabulousness." Michael laughed quietly and smiled.

" I wish that I could find love like that." Amelia whispered, her eyes twinkling with tears. Before anyone could react the door slammed open and Amelia felt all the colour drain from her face. The anomynous figure marched in and stared at Michael and Anna. "Honey care to introduce these lovely people."

"Um ssorry this is Michael my brother, remember i told you, and this is Annabelle his ffiance. Michael, Anna this is Ddamien my husband. Ssurprise!" Amelia stuttered.

Michael gave a broad smile and shook hands with Damien. "Pleased to meet the man who captured my sisters heart," he teased with a wink. Anna had visibly stoned and silently raised a hand for a handshake. With a smirk, he pressed his lips to her knuckles, his lips lingering for longer than usual. " Its an absolute pleasure belle." He grinned.

Breaking the awkward tension, Michael rolled the dice and sat cross legged on the floor once again. Anna, now over her stone like state sat down and smiled triumphantly once she found her forgotten banana. She ate it slowly, savouring the taste until her eyes caught Damiens. Once she saw his expression she gulped and excused herself. Michael sensed her fear and followed her shortly after until he found her in the bathroom sobbing.

"Anana whats wrong?" Michael asked, concerned using the nickname he gave her due to her passion for bananas." Anna shook with each sob and  in a shaky breath " Michae,l you won't believe me."

Michael turned her around fiercely and whispered, "You are my conscience, the reason for my existence. Try me." Anna began shaking as her breathing quickened. "Do you remember in London, when that man tried to ttouch me?"  Michael stiffened and nodded. "Wwell Damien was looking at me  the same way when I was eating my banana. He was looking at me with lust filled eyes, like I was a piece of meat." Anna cried silently.

She felt Michael tense and mumble something incoherent. She moved closer and she heard him say "I noticed that too. I saw his face in the papers before for abuse but I was in denial. Anna go get help, we're in danger." She stared into his eyes knowing he was serious and quickly pressed her lips to his. Resting her forehead on his, she whispered " Be careful."

Michael nodded and quickly ushered her out the back door. He walked into the living room, silently tiptoeing. His eyes couldnt fathom the sight in front of him. He saw red and pounced on Damien punching his face repeatedly. " HOW DARE YOU SLAP MY SISTER!" In a flash Damien had Michael in a head lock and laughed in a sinister manner that made Amelia in the corner of the room visibly shudder. He began, in a dramatic monologue, the words that would haunt Michael forever.
