Saphire's

It's been 6 months and fortunately Saphire got hired in a motel as a cleaner. It pretty much gives enough pay for her Brothers education and their daily expenses. So far, her work as a cleaner gone smoothly.

She's been also, always makes sure to stay and wait for young girs to sell their roses every night. She's quite familiar to the girls now and it really warms her heart to always helps them sell. She also volunteers to take care and hold their little sister everytime she gets her dayoff. And also, invites them in her apartment to treat them food and sleepover. She always wonder if she could take them in instead so she could looked out to them but thats needed to be processed legally and she does not have money for that yet.  However, she loves to see her brother and the girls play eveytime.

"Times up Saph! You go home now!" Roger said to her. A tall, middle aged man and also her boss. She stopped the dryer and turn off the lights making sure not to leave mess for whatever laundry she has to do tomorrow.

"Thanks Roger. If you only know how tiring that was." She said laughing. Roger chuckled and patted her back.


"Oh hun, if only Rebecca is here and healthy she would love to helped you. I'm sorry for taking up much of your time today." He said slouching on his chair.

"Come on Roger, I miss her too. I know you're taking care of her just fine. Right? She's a tough woman." She gives him an encouraging smile but she knew better than to say things. She knew Rebecca's not fighting anymore. She has cancer, breast cancer. She was diagnosed 4 months ago with stage 4. Roger and Saphire always pushed Rebecca to undergo chemoteraphy but the stubborn woman still insist she won't. So Roger as a faithful husband took much time taking care of her and leaves the motel into Saphires care.

"Will you be okey tom—"

*crasssh*


"What the hell was that?" Saphire turn to the front porch and saw big, bulky men coming inside the motel lobby. Panicked run down her spine. Her ever protective instinct kicked in and she turned to Roger with questioning eyes.
"Roger?"

"Saphire...hun... can you go upstairs, get inside  a room and locked the door? Please do not come out untilI say so." Roger said keeping a staright face. She knew he was hiding something.

"What's with them Roger? Please don't lie to me. I can't just hide there and leave you here all alone with them." Tears starts to form in her eyes. Roger just only shood her away.

"Saphire pleAse...." But she held her ground. If anything happens to him it was all on her.she can't let that happen even how frightened she was.

"Roger..." a deep voice resonated behind her. She wants to turn back and look at where it belongs.
