There I was in the middle of it. I was in the middle of a miniature yet very powerful fight between Vonetta and Fern. I am usually the person that stops the fighting between them however this time I decided not to. I sat there quietly between the fight and their screaming. This time I was not going to break up the fight. This time Cecile was going to break up this fight motherly. After a very short while of Vonetta and Fern’s fighting she came in angry. She wasn’t just angry she was enraged. “Delphine, why didn’t you stop them!” I stood their paralyzed with no answer trying to leave my throat. “Answer me!” Cecile screeched enraged. Yet again I stood there with no answer. I didn’t know what to do. However, this is what Cecile decided to do. She grabbed Vonetta and Fern and separated them like a mother would do except she did more harshly. Then she glared at me while separating them for a second, shook her head, and I knew at that moment, trouble tornado alley was coming my way like a bulldog.

Five minutes later we were out the door. Cecile despised us now she kicked us out of her house with no money whatsoever. Now it was just Vonetta, Fern, and I who were three girls out on the dangerous streets with no money. The first thing I knew I should do is to comfort my sisters. It was my fault that I got us into this mess. Then Vonetta cut in and stopped my train of thought. Literally, she banged me on the head. That bang was the kind of bang was the one we gave each other if something bad happened because one of us did something that caused it. “Why didn’t you break up our fight like you always do Delphine?” asks Vonetta harshly. I had an answer but I knew they wouldn’t like it. “ Yeah!” Fern grunted angrily. At that moment because of ...

This crying sounded like Cecile. Could she have really changed? We opened the door and ran in and hugged her. Surprisingly the door was opened. She must have went searching for us because there were two distinct footprints on her welcome mat before we entered the house and before we stepped on the mat. She really has changed. “You all better hug tight Vonetta and Fern.” I said with tears of joy. “My babies, my babies! I will never treat you that bad ever again. I am so sorry!” cried Cecile. “ From now on I will care for you and be a good mother. I am sorry for however I treated you.” cried Cecile. For the first time in forever, my sisters and I actually had someone to call Ma.

Look Samantha , I-" he attempted, but I cut him off with a sharp glare. "Talk to someone who cares Andrew", I growled, checking my messages. "Samantha he just wants-" Courtney started, but was interrupted by another voice. I turned my head and saw my little sister standing in the door way.

    In this moment, everything seemed right in the world, unfortunately, that is when things go for the worst. Jumping on the bed was becoming tedious, so we began doing fun tricks on the bed. As I recall Ruby saying “Hey Selena watch this!” She stood on the bed a bit close to the the edge, kicked her feet up into the air. She attempted to do a handstand, and that handstand was perfect. She held her handstand a second too long as she lost her balance and fell off the bed. On her way down, I heard a smack as she hit my dad’s nightstand. I had no idea what had just happened. The silence pierced my heart, I knew something terrible happened to Ruby. I was afraid to look at Ruby, tears started to fill up my eyes. After a few deep breaths, I built up the courage to look over the bed. I see my younger sister lying there, half of her face was covered in blood as it dripped on my parent’s burgundy carpet. The gash on her forehead was bleeding uncontrollably. The ladybugs on her dress, that was once before mine, became less and less visible as the blood drenched her dress. I screamed for my brothers to come quickly. I jumped off the bed and ran to be at her side. I hugged Ruby in my arms and gently laid her head on my lap. The blood flowed onto my lap, my dress was saturated in the dark red blood. I didn’t care, I just wanted to hold her in my arms. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I spoke to her. “Ruby please wake up. I am so sorry.” I said. Repeatedly I apologized to her and begged her to awake. She didn’t open her eyes. Both of my brothers came rushing in. The second they saw us both on the floor surrounded by Ruby’s blood, they were shocked. Their mouths opened so big and wide but no words came out of either of them. It took them a few seconds to take in the image they saw before their eyes. When they did, so many questions were
