  "Doctor will she be alright", dad asked

I noticed the worried look on his face, he felt guilty maybe cause he has been caring since Lydia got admitted yesterday.

  She was brought to the hospital by her so called husband after he has beaten her.

I wonder how someone could be so heartless.

  Who beats a pregnant teenager.

"Thank you doctor, I will do just that", I heard dad say as he moved out of the doctor's office and headed towards Lydia's ward.

"What did the doctor say fa",mom asked as we got into the room.

" He said she might not survive", dad said and broke into tears.

This is my first time seeing dad cry.

" He said she has a lot of complications coupled with the beatings which is not good for the baby", he said amidst tears.

" You see what you caused"

" I warned you but you never listened ,see the condition you out our daughter into", mom whao has  been crying managed to say.

I didn't say anything but just left them to settle their differences, dad caused all these only if mom had been strong to fight back then Maybe this wouldn't have happened.

****************************************
  I got closer to Lydia's ward and I could hear noise like someone shouting.

Lydia has been in the hospital for a month now and there is no improvement, well her pregnancy is seven months now.

I got in and found mom crying but didn't see Lydia on the bed.

"Mom, what happened?", I asked.

"It's.... it's your sister, she died", mom dropped the bombshell and started crying infact shouting.

I felt everything came crashing down, I didn't know what was happening.

" So my other sister is dead", I asked no one in particular.

"Where is dad", I asked Mom.

"He left", mom said amidst sobs.

"Left?, to where, he caused all these", I shouted.

If he had left her to at least go to the university, if he had allowed her to make her own decisions, all these won't be happening.

"Where is he", I shouted and mom flinched.

"He...he..I ..ehmm...I think he went home", she managed to say stuttering.

As I drove home, memories kept flashing back, the day Aaliyah died, the day Lydia got married to that beast, tears rolled down freely as I couldn't control any.

I got home and opened the door to meet the greatest shock, it was dad lying lifeless on the floor with the knife he used to kill himself still on his hands.

"Ahhh", I screamed and ran out of the house.

Everything seems like a dream.

I want to wake up from this nightmare.

But this is not a dream.

" This is reality sarki", I said to myself.

Things like this happen but why me?

Woah here is the last chapter ☺️
