*Jimin's Pov*
~4 years ago: Jimin was 16, Noah 8, Anna 3~
Anna, Noah and, I sat in the closet of my room with both the bedroom and closet door locked. We heard slamming, lots of it. Yelling coming from both ends of my parents.
"I'm tired of you doing this! You keep scaring the kids!" I heard mom yell.
After she did, more things were thrown. My dad continued to yell and insult her. I heard Anna starting to cry so I held her close and covered her ears.
"It's okay," I started to tell them both.
"Is mommy okay?" Noah started to ask.
I didn't know how to respond. I knew she wasn't okay. I had to help her or something bad could happen. I looked at Noah and gave Anna to him to sit in his lap.
"Cover your ears and use these headphones for Anna. I'm gonna help mom so, stay up here and do not open the door unless you hear 5 knocks. Got it?"
Noah nodded his head and I left the bedroom, locking the door after.
I quietly made my way downstairs and seen many glasses shattered on the floor and plastic cups lying around. For a minute I heard silence, and I was confused.
"Mom??" I whispered hoping for an answer.
I continued to creep down the steps a little more and seen her lying on the floor. She looked lifeless, hopeless. She had bruises all over her body and blood smeared in most places.
He beat her to death.
I ran over to her as fast as I could, I didn't care if my dad was near or not. He hurt her. She was our only hope.
"Ji-Jimin get out of here.. it's dangerous." She muttered.
"No.." I held her hand tightly and heard footsteps coming from behind me.
She wiped my tears and kissed my hand softly. She smiled that smile that always made me calm when I cried. She can't leave us. Not like this, not now.
"You must go Jiminie.. it's not safe. Tell An-na and Noah t-that I love them.. you're in c-charge now."
And with that her eyes started to close. Her grip in my hand loosened and began to slip out.
I shook her, trying to wake her up but she wouldn't. The footsteps got louder. I made a run back upstairs before my dad came back in the room. I knocked upstairs and Noah opened the door quickly letting me in and locking it after.
After what seemed like an hour, I stopped hearing groaning coming from downstairs. Why wasn't anything going on? Where was dad?
I decided to leave the closet and go check for myself. I was the oldest and I was in charge of taking care of my siblings now... this was the only thing I could do.
I informed Noah to protect Anna and stay in my room.
"Do not come downstairs at all. Understand?! This goes for the both of you. Under no circumstances."
They both nodded and I kissed Anna's forehead. I closed the door and went downstairs. Surprisingly, everything was cleared up. No shattered glass, no blood, not even my mom's dead body. Where would you even hide it?
"Dad? Mom?"
I waited a couple of seconds, but no response. I decided to go into the dining room. As I walked closer and closer, I was stopped. The feeling of someone grabbing me by the collar gave me shivers throughout my body.
"Jimin."
It was my dad. He turned me around to look at him and kept his hand on my shirt.
"I know you know what happened to Rose."
Rose.. that's mom's name.
"But listen, you're not to say a word about this to anyone. Got it?! If any your grandparents ask tell them we got a divorce. Say she moved out of country to get away from me. Understand?"
I gulped and quickly nodded my head. His gripped tightened.
"I mean it Jimin. If you tell a soul you'll be sorry."
He looked over at a picture of Anna. He knew how much I loved my golden maknae. If anything were to happen to her I'd never forgive myself.
"Don't you ever touch her!" I pushed my dad off of me and looked at him in the eyes.
"Mom put me in charge of my siblings so I take care of them! Don't ever touch any of them. If you get drunk after work— whatever the fuck you do, come to me about it but don't you ever touch Anna or Noah."
Dad nodded his head with his hands up in defense.
"Understood." He chuckled.
"Even if I did touch them, you know you'd never tell a soul. You'd hate for them to go into the foster system. Don't forget you're not old enough to adopt them or take them under your wing, Jiminie."
The way he said my name made me upset. Only mom called me that, and he knew she was the only one who could besides Anna. I felt my hands ball into fists and I punched my dad in the face.
Worst. Thing. Ever.
"Silly Jimin.."
He walked up to me and punched my in the jaw making me fall to the floor. I held my mouth and blood dropped onto my hands.
"Jiminie! Daddy stop hurting him!!"
It was Anna.
"Anna stop! Jimin said not to go downstairs!" Noah yelled.
Anna ran to me and helped me get up. She grabbed onto my leg and looked at my dad. He looked back down at her and smiled.
"Don't ever hit me again, Jimin. You know better."
My dad walked past us into the hallway to go to his office. He slammed the door and I heard the click of the knob being locked.
What do I do now?
