goodbyes

kaycee:

"STOP! YOU'RE HURTING HER!" i yelled through sobs. i wanted to save her, but i was no use against the beast. he had a beer bottle in his hand and 9 or 10 others laying around. his eyes were bloodshot and he smelled of  smoke. and then there was my sister, her hair ratted and messed up, her hands flying all over the place trying to hit the monster, screaming and crying. 

"LET ME FUCKING GO!" she screamed. she elbowed him in the nose, causing him to let her go. she fell to the floor, but seconds later she was back up again and right next to me. she grabbed my hand and we ran outside of the house. 

and oh did we run. we didn't let anything stop us from running, not even the fact that we had no shoes. i kept running and running, but then katy stopped and fell to the ground. she groaned loudly and then screamed. 

"KATY?! " i screeched. she gripped her chest and screamed even louder. i didn't know what to do. i stood there, watching my sister in even more pain than iv'e ever seen her in. and then she stopped, she laid down completely and didn't move. 

"katy?" i asked. she didn't respond. i walked over to her and jostled her around. nothing. i kicked her, hard. to see if she was kidding, but nothing came out of it.

"KATY!?" i shouted. i began sobbing, shaking my lifeless sisters body around. 

"WAKE UP! PLEASE KATY! PLEASE" i screamed. nothing. no one came to help me, my dad was nowhere to be found, and my sister was...gone.

i lifted up her body and tried to carry her back to the house. i saw my dads car come into view, he stopped and ran out of the car and came over to us.

"DON'T HURT US PLEASE! JUST HELP KATY!" i yelled. he ignored me as he took katy's lifeless body and held her in his arms. he stood there, and then he dropped to his knees. and for the first time ever in my life, i saw my dad cry. he buried his face into her body and said words i couldn't understand. 

my mom showed up too, and she cried with us as well. but then, she drove me home, and she took dad and katy somewhere. i don't know where, but when she returned, he wasn't there.

"where's dad?" i asked sniffling. mom looked odd. her eyes were droopy and her skin was pale. this wasn't my mom. 

"he's in jail." she said.

"WHAT?" i yelled. tears welled up in my puffy eyes, i don't know if i can cry anymore.

"dad's done some awful things. but you know what? he won't hurt you or me or katy anymore. got that?" she said sternly. i nodded my head.

"we are going to have a fresh start."
