Drew Grier: A Broken Girl

Chapter 22

(Surprise! Double update, didn't want to leave you guys hanging. The italics are flashbacks.)

~Nash's POV~

 “Why would you do that to my sister!” I screamed, anger running through every bone in my body.

 “Because she's not your sister you idiot!” He screamed at me, Dad.

 “What?” I stutter, not believing his words.

 “Your slut of a Mother cheated on me, and your sister, is the off-spring of that. She told me last week, it was a surprise to me too.”

 “That doesn't give you the right to do that do Drew.”

 “Oh, but it does. Listen here you little shit, you tell anyone what you saw me do, I will end you and your sister's lives.”

 “H-How?” I shutter.

 “I'll kill her,” I've never heard his voice so serious. His tone etched through my skin. Making me shudder in fear. Before I could say anything, I was kneed to the ground, he kicked me over and over. The pain was something I didn't want to feel, I screamed.

 “Screaming won't help.”

 “You won't kill her.”

 “Not now I won't, but if you tell anyone of our little discussion, I'll murder her. I'm not bluffing kid.” He snarled.

 The memory hit me like a freight train, the cold stinging my entire body. The roof of the hotel, I looked out to the skyline. I wrote her a note, explaining everything. All the things I was scared to say, but I'm done. And when she called me my Dad, I'd break inside even more. I didn't mean to hit her, I wasn't thinking, but then I realized, she was right.

 I can't hide anymore, she can't hate me like this anymore. That's why it is time for me to go, not from Magcon, but from this earth. I stood on the edge, looking down at the drop, only a six story drop, I'd hit the cement so hard, I'd die instantly.

 But I don't want it to be painless, I don't deserve it to be that easy. I clamp my eye's shut, counting in my head, as I remember things I didn't want too.

 “Help!” Her voice screamed, echoing through the house.

 I couldn't do anything, as much as I wanted to, I was helpless. I clench my fists, If I help her, he'll kill her. I don't know how long this is going to go on, I don't want to know. I cover my ears, if I drown her voice out, I won't get up.

 I grimace in pain, watching the tears roll down my cheeks. I want to step over the edge so bad. To end all of the pain, the lies. She needs to know that I care, that I'm not the person she thinks I am. I never meant to hurt her, and I never wanted too.

 She's six, I'm seven.

 “I love you Nash.”

 “I love you too Drew bear.”

 “More than anything?” She asks.

 “More than anything.” I repeat.

 I think back to the day with Will, she called me George again, and I lost it. I didn't mean to barrel at her, it only happened. I was angry, so angry. I wanted to warn them, but I got mad.

 I hate myself.

 “You're the one who is nothing.” I whisper to myself.

 "He was totally out of line with your sister. Sam said it totally weirded her out, who says that, especially when Aaron knows she has a boyfriend.” Cameron said to me, looking up from his phone. Explaining to me what happened with Aaron and Drew.
