The bedroom door was slightly open.
From inside, I heard Lily’s trembling voice.
“Jake, I can’t do it anymore. It hurts…”
Read the continuation in the comments 👇‼️
“I know, Lily. But please, just a little longer. We have to finish before tomorrow.”
“What if Grandma finds out?”
Jake answered with a sentence I still cannot forget.
“Then she’ll find out what Mom told us never to tell her.”
Slowly, I pushed the door open.
And at that exact moment, I saw something I could never have imagined, not even in my worst nightmares.
Lily was sitting on a tiny chair, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Jake
was kneeling in front of her, holding a small metallic object.
“JAKE!” I screamed.
He jumped, and the object fell onto the carpet.
It was a small pair of scissors.
“What are you doing to your sister?”
Lily immediately ran into my arms. I checked her hands and face, but there were no injuries.
