Chapter 5 4

"Sam," I rushed to her, "she's shivering" covering her with blanket.

"Sam, hold on" I stood up to get something

"Don't leave me please" she held me so tight.

"OK"

I laid beside her cuddled and stroked her hair

"Don't go"

"I won't leave you Sam, even if you ask me to"

Nodding her head, she slept off.

Sam P. O. V

"Jazzy, come on, we'll be late"

"Am coming, hold on"

We reached school but it felt strange. Everywhere was quiet and I felt cold. It felt like in the movies when you know something bad is gonna happen.

"What's happening?"

"Hello" my voice echoed. "Can anyone hear me"

Just then Jazzy turned to me with her eyes so black. "Jasmine, what's happening to you?" I asked shivering. She smirked at me as she brought out a small knife coming close to me as I was stepping back.

"I will kill you" she said and this her voice changed to a man scary voice.

"Jasmine no"

"You will rot and nobody will find you" she said coming more closer

"Each time you wake up, I will come back for you, I will find you and kill you again"

"Jazzy, you are my sister and whoever you are should leave us alone"

"Hahaha, come on Samantha Jones, its me Jasmine Jones and I will kill you"

"No, my sister won't hurt me"

" I already did" I looked at her in terror. "And I am going to do that again" She said as she pushed me down.

"Ahhh!"

"Yes, Sam, scream, I will find you wherever you are and I will kill you". She said about to plunge the knife on me.

" Sam" I heard a soft voice as Jasmine turned to see who it was and disappeared.

"Nick"

"Hold on"

"Please don't leave me" I said as he was about to leave

"OK" he said holding me tight

"Don't go"

" I won't leave you Sam, even if you ask me to"

'This is just a dream Sam and you have to wake up' I said to myself.

When I woke up again, Nick was already there looking at me. "Hey, you okay?"

"Mmm"

"Take this and drink it" he said giving me a glass of water.

"Am not thirsty" I said sitting up

"Can you not be stubborn for once and drink the water" I glared at him as I took it and drank it all.

"Good girl".

"Its Jazzy" I said looking worried.

"Do you want to talk about it"

"Am not sure Nick, she hates me"

"No Sam"

"She does, to even attack me when am sleeping".

"I mean we were not always like this, we were very close Nick, so close because we had no parents, just our Uncle". "If I did something wrong, she should tell me and not to kill me".

"Hey, I won't let that happen".

*****

" Sammy, come on let's go and play"

" Am coming Jazzy".

We always play. That was before my parents died, and before then things were not really good at home.

My dad lost his job after I finished my junior school. He became an alcoholic, he didn't care about us anymore. This made my mum hate him, the fact he lost his job and couldn't do anything about it made my mum angry. She would always cry when she's alone and tell me our dad love us when I ask questions. Even though I was bothered, I couldn't do much, I was still 10. I would always agree to whatever mum said.

"You will always get drunk and come home late,don't you know you have kids". I heard my mum shout one night when we were sleeping.

This woke Jasmine." Sammy, what's happening?" She asked rubbing her eyes.

"Nothing Jazzy, go back to bed"

"Mmm" she slept off again, I covered her and went to check what was going on.

"They're not my kids, are you sure they are mine"

"You heartless man, what are you saying, they're your kids"

"Shut up woman, where did you get those bastards from, huh?"

"Who did you give yourself to"

"I will pretend I didn't hear you because you are

drunk".

I was so angry with my dad, crying, I ran back to my room.

" Sam, Samantha " my mum chased after me.

"Hey, your dad didn't mean that, he is just drunk. You know he lost his job. You know there are times when things get hard in life. Some people choose different ways to solve it, some good, some bad, and some hard. Your father is choosing the hard way my dear. But I'm sure he will come around soon. Am sure he will choose a good way soon. So don't hate him sweetheart"

"Mmm"

"You have your sister here with you and I want you to take care of her when we are not there. Cos you are both close to each other than we are"

"Okay mum"

"Now go sleep baby, you have to rest and don't think about it cos mummy is here to do that for you". I smiled at her as she pecked me.

" Good night mum, I love you"

"I love you too pumpkin, Good night".

Weeks later, everything was getting better,my dad was choosing the good way as my mum said. And I was so happy.

*****

If I knew things were not going to be well I wouldn't have let them go out that day, and maybe we would still be together.

"This is the Alkans Hospital, we are calling you to identity the dead bodies. You have to come down to the Hospital to do that"

I mean, I was just ten.

"Mummy, you told me not to think that you will do that. Now I don't know how to do that Mum. Why did you go so early". I said crying.

" I miss you Mum, I really do. If you were here things won't be like this. Just wish you will come back to me, to us"

"I love you mum and I always will. Rest on".
