Everyone has duties and morals.

 

Today my duty was to stand there and listen to every word my stepmum had to offer as she shouted at my littler sister who is 13 years old for throwing food in the bin. My little sister accidentally dropped it on the floor so she had to throw it in the bin. Before my little sister said anything about it being on the floor but confessed to throwing it, my stepmum hit her cross the face.

I stood there and quuckly pulled her back behind me. My stepmum promised to not hit her again if I let my little sister go which I finally did. We stood opposite each other, my eyes on my little sister to make sure she was ok.

Once again the shouting and lectures of us being useless and garbage came again. I tried my best not to let her see me roll my eyes but my little sister began crying from the hurtful words. I held onto her and pulled her back, quickly my stepmum grabbed onto my sister's other wrist and told me to let go saying she won't hit her and she hasn't with questions of why I was doing it (Pulling my little sister away).

I shouted back at her:

 

 

"Let go! I'm her older sister, I'm here to protect her. I won't let go! You let go! Of course I'm doing this! Let her go right now! Don't hit her, hit me instead if you are going to!" 

She wouldn't and said she wouldn't hurt her and dared to question why she would hurt me, once again I talked back.

 

 

"You said you wouldn't hit her yet you have! Let her go right now!"

Of course she said the same thing telling  me to go move out with my older sister if I don't like it there. I ignored her and managed to somehow make my stepmum let my sister go. I stood in between my sister and stepmum, pushing my sister towards the stairs and telling her to leave. We managed to get just below the stairs when my stepmum grabbed my and hit me three times on the head. It didn't hurt, I've had worse. She pulled onto my hair but it was tied up so she pulled my hairband off instead. I pushed my little sister into our room. From the corner of my eye, I saw my brother leave his room, dazed since he woke up from the noise. I told him to go back inside and lock him room and don't come out. He nodded despite not knowing anything. I went inside mine and my little sister's room and locked the door behind up, quickly pulling her in for a hug.

 

Once again all I could do was apologise.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop that first hit! Are you ok? Did it hurt? I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

She shook her head and asked me if it was ok. She said it didn't hurt and she was angry at my stepmum for acting as if she was our real mum. I laughed and told her I nearly said that to her but stopped myself. Our tears didn't stop, in fact, mine is still going.

 

 

For once, I did it. I finally stepped up and did something right. I was able to protect the one I love even if it meant I was going to get hurt.

Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow which means leaving my siblings with my stepmum. I told my little sister to stay inside the room with my bother and not come out unless they have to. If she dares come over, call me or our oldest sister straight away.

 

If she dares hurt one of them, I don't think I will be able to stop myself from returning her misdeeds. But I have to be careful since well... she's pregnant...

I won't do anything if it means hurting the one inside her because I'm not heartless.

 

 

Today instead of following my duty, I following my moral. I did what was right and what I've always wanted to do. For once, I'm proud of myself... A silly smile as tears keep streaming down my face makes me look very stupid xD

 

 

I'm seeing my oldest sister tomorrow.. I'll tell her about this but she won't be very happy. She hates knowing that we're in danger but I can't hide anything from her.

I need to sleep now, need to wake up early for work tomorrow xD

P.s: I think my dad's back. Time to pretend to be asleep.
