ANNA'S PARENTS WERE BUSY pacing up and down in the sitting room while the three kids remain silent
"How old are you Johanna?"her mom asked and she swallowed,she can't understand why she had been getting into trouble recently
"Sixteen ma"she replied meekly
"And you already have a boyfriend?"her dad asked and she started playing with her shaky fingers unable to reply her dad
"Johanna what's wrong with you?,I only asked the kid to tutor you I didn't ask you to start dating him, Johanna it's time you start pitying me and have to know you have a lot of responsibilities because you're the only female child of this family,stop letting your beauty get to you"her mom said and she knelt in the front of her immediately
"I'm so sorry mom,I'm sorry dad I know I was wrong,I shouldn't have a boyfriend at this young age,I was carried away and now I realized my mistake,please forgive me,I beg of you"Anna said crying and her dad's heart started going soft
"We will forgive you this time around but when next you leave the house at the middle of the night or I hear you have a boyfriend at this young age of yours,I will definitely deal with you"her dad said and she nodded happily
"Thank you sir thank you ma"she appreciated
"And you Jonah you were fighting with a guy over your sister,I won't say what you did is bad because it shows you're capable of protecting the family in my absence but next time don't fight in school please"his dad said and he nodded
"Thank you dad,I heard you"Jonah said and their parents nodded
"You should take panadol before going to bed"their mom said
"Ok ma"they both replied and their parents left
"A guy hit you Johanna?"James asked unbelievably "he has a lot of guts to hit my sister,my own sister"he said his temper raising
"It's okay James,I'm sure he won't try it again"Jonah said
"He better don't"James replied before leaving the sitting room
"Let me see your cheek"Jonah said walking towards Anna who in turn brushed Jonah's hand away angrily "what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?"Anna asked angrily "why did you fight ehh? You can't deny it,you were the one that hit Damilola twice before he got angry,dad and mom wouldn't have known I have a boyfriend now thanks to you they know"Anna said and Jonah look at her like he didn't expect that from her
"I was looking out for you Anna and you're blaming me for dad and mom finding out about you having a boyfriend?"Jonah asked
"You shouldn't have fight,you should have take everything gently and talk it out with him"Anna said and Jonah shook his head
"Did you just listen to yourself? I'm here protecting you and this is your way of thanking me,I'm so disappointed in you"Jonah said before walking away

"Your brother hit me"Dami said angrily and Anna got scared
"I'm so sorry Dami,he was only trying to protect me,I wasn't expecting the issue to escalate that much"Anna said
"You're mine and you know it"Dami said and Anna nodded along
"I'm yours, no one is taking me away from you so chill"Anna said placing her palms at the both side of Dami's face
"I'm sorry for hitting you,I got so angry and I'm use to violence,I grew up with it"Dami said and Anna smiled
"As far you don't repeat it,I'm fine"she replied and Dami kissed her right palm
