Ivory And Ebony

Chapter 29

Olivia
   "Hey" I peeked in slightly to see an already sitting sister, like as if she knew I was coming and awaiting my visit
  "Livv" she croaked out, her eyes glassy..the women in my family and crying

Rushing over to her, pulling her in for a hug making sure not to disrupt or destroy the cast she had on. "I am so so sorry, I should have come sooner... I don't know what I would have done without you b, I really don't know" the thought of that night playing over and over in my head "You almost died b, you almost left your little sister"

  "My little sister knows how to take care of herself and she won't need me" sniffling

Pulling her away for a bit "Why would you say that? I will always need you, you're my family"

Staring at her bruised torn lower lip, a bandage wrapped around her head

"It could have been worse b, we're just so grateful to God that you're alive"

"I'm glad I got to see you again Liv, I'm sorry.. really sorry for everything mum has put you through-"

"Hey, that's okay and that's enough.. No more of our family problems. And I should say sorry. I have been really bitchy-" cutting me off

"Sooo bitchyy" causing us to burst into a pit of laughter

"I love you okay, and no matter how many times, you and your mother want to frustrate me, I wouldn't want you guys to ever leave me"

"I'm sorry for scaring you all like that" she responded

Sitting down beside her, cuz standing in these heels were killing me

"You should be, because you're going to explain to me why you were drinking and driving" I was dead tone serious, her face immediately getting pale

"Just had a stressful day at the hospital, it's really nothing, don't look into it" she waved it off

"Okay and I shouldn't look into the fact you're being physically abused?"

Her eyes widening the moment those words left my mouth

"W-what are you talking about? I-i don't know what you mean by p-physically abused?"

"The bruises on your abdomen, thighs, chest and everywhere at your back. Who did that to you?" Pausing "or should rephrase, who is doing this to you Beulah?" I yelled quietly, looking at my sister with looked back at me with nothing but fear in her eyes

"Beulah, if you don't talk to me, I'm getting the cops involved"

"No-no please" she panicked

"Who did this to you b, Is it Nate?"

Her eyes said it all

"That bastard" I said through gritted teeth "How could you let him do this to you? Till he drove you to the point of a car accident Beulah!" Getting away from her pulling my hair in frustration

"Why didn't you say anything! How long has this been going on?"

She remained silent

"If you don't say anything, I swear to God, I'll get your mother and your father and you'll do the explaining to them. And believe me when I say it's not an Empty threat" I snapped

"The first time we were together, he had hit me once, because he thought I was cheating, and he apologized saying he'd never do it again and I haven't seen that side of him for the past 7years till now, I thought maybe it was really a misunderstanding back then and it would never happen again, not only till he would drop by the hospital more frequently than normal and when he sees me with any male colleague he'd hit me, saying I'm rubbing myself all over other men. The hits became frequent, I couldn't bring myself to tell you guys because I was ashamed of myself, you all had warned me about him and I was just naive and in love. I found out all this while he was hitting me for hanging around my colleagues, he was cheating on me. I was devastated, and I couldn't take it anymore, I threatened to call the cops and I ended our relationship, and for all the nights we laid together, he had it all on video" I gasped cutting her short
