Mikes Pov
"Thanks for the ride" Alyssa says in a shy voice
I love that about her. She's the type of girl who keeps to herself. I find it cute.
"Anytime." I reply
She blushes a light shade of pink. As she leaves the car all I’m thinking about is how beautiful she is. I drive home and see Josh's car in the drive way.
Great, just who I want to see right now. As I get out he meets me at the door
"What was that all about today?" he says like he’s all tuff “We had a deal, I get Alyssa and you stick to Jessica"
"Forget the deal, I can’t live without Alyssa."
"Maybe this will change your mind." he says and one of his gang members walks over with my sister with a knife to her neck
"You said you'd leave Jamie out of this." I growl
"Yea well maybe I lied." he says smirking
"Fine you can have Alyssa but let my sister go."
"That a good boy." he says and snap his fingers
The boy lets my sister go and she runs over to me.
"Let’s go boys." he says "I have a date tonight."
They get in his car and leave. I look at my sister whose still hugging me.
"I’m so sorry Jamie" I whisper
"It’s ok. I still care about you." she says looking down "why did you give Alyssa up? You always say you love her and then you just give her up. Why?"
I look at her. Jamie... Skinny, blond and the best sister ever
"Because no one can replace you. I do love her, but family first." I say planting a light kiss on her head
She smiles and walks back inside. I follow a little slower.
Would Josh really hurt her? I think to myself. I dont really want to find out
She smiles and walks back inside. As she walks I see she’s limping. I feel my temper going up. If Josh did that, why I’ll…
I hear a scream and glass shatter. I run inside and find Jamie on her knees cleaning up glass and dad standing above her yelling.
“Jamie go to your room.” I say to her in a hushed voice
She slowly walks away giving me a look that almost makes me cry. I know that look means he hit her. I start to clean up the glass. I cut my hand a few times but show no reaction to it.
“Did you hit her?” I growl
“What if I did?” he says smirking
I don’t reply, knowing if I do he might hit her again. I throw the glass away and walk to Jamie’s room. As I walk in I see her sitting on the floor playing with the dolls I bought her.
“Did he hurt you?” I ask gently
She looks up at me and I can see tears glimmering in her eyes.
I storm downstairs and find dad on the couch.
“You said you’d hit me not her.” I say glaring
“Fine, I’ll hit you.” He says getting up
“But wait I’ve got something better.” He pulls out a pocket knife and slashes me once across the face. I feel blood running down my face but I don’t move.
“You always were weak. You never fight back. You’re a worthless piece of…”
But I don’t let him finish. I pull out my own knife and stab him hard in the gut.
He looks at me shocked but then smiles
“You’re nothing to me. Did I ever tell you that I killed your mother?” He says coughing on blood
I pull the knife out and let him fall to the floor. As I’m walking up stairs I hear the faint sound of him laughing, but I block it out. I feel myself getting dizzy and look down. He must have stabbed me in the side and I didn’t notice. I can see blood starting to seep through my shirt. I fall into Jamie’s room and see her running over to me
“Mike? Mike! Oh my gosh, Mike. No, no, no. Mike stay with me stay with me… please.”
