Chapter 3
5th October 2010
Dear dairy,
Karl still hasn't returned home and I don't think he ever will, but if he doesn't I will never see him again.
Last night Sara came in my room, with her tear stained face, pain in her eyes. At that moment I Knew something but it wasn't until this morning that it crossed my mind.
"Erin, I'm scared." Sara said. I knew something was wrong, Sara never lets anyone see her cry, so for her to come in with tear falling down her face, something was really wrong. I grabbed her arms but before I could say that 'everything is going to be just fine' I saw her wince in pain. I immediately let go of her arms. Sara lifted the sleeve of her jacket to reveal her arm that was covered in bruise of all colours.
"Who did that? Who hurt you?" I asked worried and wondering how long this has been going on.
"That...girl Rachelle, she said that...if I told anyone she'll...kill you, but I couldn't...risk that, because you're my older...sister and life without...you is not worth...living." Sara said between the silent tears falling from her face.
"I'll kill her for hurting you." I said in anger, anger at the fact that someone can hurt her younger sister like that.
"No Erin, don't she not worth it..."Sara started but then I cut her off.
"She hurt you, so she deserves to pay." I said simple. She hugged me then walk out of the room but stopped at the door.
"Good night Erin." Sara said.
"Night Sara." I said back to her.
"Don't you ever forget that I loved you and no matter what happens be brave." Sara said. There was that sentence again, but why was she using it. Before I could question her, she shut the door and was already in her room as I hear her door shut.
That could be the last time I will ever speak to Sara, because last night she took some of her stuff and left. A runaway just like Karl, but this time I have someone to blame and I will make her pay, and she will.
