The air turned black all around me.
Icy fingers gripped my arm in the darkness. A shrill cry echoed in the darkness. Footsteps slowly creaked on every step of the stairs. The bedroom door handle turned slowly. My hair stood on end, a shiver raced down my spine and a lump came to my throat. It was him...
I wake up as a scream leaves my lips. I pull my legs up to my chest sobbing into my arms. "Bella?" My sister says in a small voice I pull myself together "yes maya?" I ask "I can't sleep" she says playing with her fingers I sigh "come here" I say and she climbs into my bed, cuddling me as we fall asleep.

"ARABELLA MAYA GET UP!" We hear she groans and cuddles up to me more, I chuckle and pick her up and take her into her bedroom. "Right maya what do you want to wear"
"Nothing" she sulks
"You wanna go to school naked?" I laugh
And she pouts. She rolls her eyes and I'm shocked at the fact that an 8 year old can be so incredibly sassy.
I give her the outfit and leave her to get changed.
I go into mums room to see her on the floor
'MUM!' I yell, running to her and grabbing her arms. Lung and heart cancer. It's ruined her.
I get her back into her bed and get her changed. After years of doing this it's easy. I leave her room and sigh.
I get changed and get breakfast ready for maya and our parents. I take my seat and father brings mum I'm in her wheelchair. He kisses my head and does the same to maya. "Your going to school?" He asks me. "Yea" I answer hoping he won't bring- "you had a nightmare last night" fuck. Spoke to soon. "Uh yea" I sigh take a bite of my pancake. "You need to talk to your therapist" he asks "no. He didn't help" I say not caring for this conversation anymore. "Bus is here maya" he says and maya jumps up. "Love you" I say and kiss her head "love you too" she says and leaves.
"You gonna come by the apartment tonight?" Asks dad helping mum eat. "Is Nate gonna be there" I say blandly "he's apart of the gang so yes." I groan "he does my head in" I groan "yes and I have told you-" I cut him off "Yea yea yea 'ignore him and he will get bored eventually'" he sighs "You have training tonight. Guns." I just nod, knowing he saw it I stand up, wash my plate and grab my skate board. "See you later" I say kissing my dads cheek "bye" he says. I grab my bag and keys and leave. I drop my board down and push off the floor, throwing my bag over my shoulder.
