Doing Dirt {edited+completed}

Chapter 8

I pause. Silence fills the air for a couple of seconds. I don't want to say what happened next. I don't think Evelyn is prepared to hear what the 'animal' did to my sister. My girlfriend cried at the events that took place before, I don't think she can handle all the gory detail. She wants to know, I have to tell her.

"Rowan 'the animal'," I add that in there for a bit of humour, "took Sarah upstairs and laid her down on his bed and they resumed where they left off. Sarah kept playing along but when things get too much for her she asked if she can go to bathroom. She asked in a sexy tone so Rowan thought she wanted 'it'. She went to the bathroom and heard his belt unbuckling and pants dropping to the floor."

Evelyn emits a soft gasp. She can tell by my body language that I was hesitant to tell the rest of the story. She mouths the words 'it's ok babe' and bites her lips in suspense.

"She thought that it was the best time to make a run for it, so she slyly crept out of the bathroom and tiptoed down the hallway. Sarah walked down the stairs, very slowly trying to make minimal noise. She reached the bottom and looked up to see that Rowan was still in his room. She paced over to the lounge and picked up her singlet that he had taken off before. Sarah put it on and made her way towards the door. She opened the front door and it creaked. Rowan must have heard because she heard him swearing."

Evelyn's eyes widen and she bites her lip tighter. Her chest goes up and down as she breathes and expels the air through her nose.

"Sarah panicked and made a run for it. The animal put his clothes on and ran after my sister. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Sarah kept looking back to see how far behind her Rowan was.

He was hot on her tail. Sarah began to get tired and kept slowing down until she fully stopped. She broke down on the cold hard pavement."

I slide my hands across the table and Evelyn does the same. I lock my fingers with hers and my thumb skims over her delicate skin. Her hands are very close to being cold, probably freaked out by Rowan's actions towards Sarah.

"Sarah lay there, helplessly, as Rowan yelled at her 'You're a screwed up mess and you never listen! Urgh I'm done with you! You're a little piece of shit and you'll ever be anything more!'"

Evelyn's small hands begin to shake and I calm her down by squeezing them lightly. "How....why...." she sighs deeply. My glittering green eyes look into her worried hazel ones.

"At that point Sarah started crying, and tried to stand up with all the power she had left. Soon, her weak little body was brought back down to the ground again by Rowan's foot kicking her."

I can't help but feel sympathetic towards my little girl. She seems petrified. I hush her in a warm tone and she calms down a tad.

"Sarah put out her arms in defence but the result was bruises. Really harsh big ones. All Sarah saw, was someone who she thought loved and cared for her, practically bashing the shit out of her. All she wanted was for him to stop. To stop abusing her. To stop acting like this. To get out of her life. She pleaded for him to stop but he didn't. When he was finished tearing my sister apart, physically and mentally, the son of a bitch spat on her and walked away. She lay on the curb, covered in blood, clenching her badly damaged stomach."

Evelyn looks like she's depressed now. Her lip trembles and tears run down her face again. I can't stand seeing my little girl like this. I unlock my hands with hers and pull them away from the table. Evelyn looks at me confused but then she realizes what I'm doing when I signal her to come and sit on my lap. Both of our chairs scrape the ground as we move out.

Evelyn slowly paces towards me then breaks down emotionally and falls in my lap. I carefully move her legs to the side as she cries in my shoulder, her head buried deep down.

Her long blonde hair sits tamely on her back as I rake my fingertips through it. She slightly shuffles her pudgy bum as she tries to get comfortable.

My hands carefully slide down from her hair to her back, comforting Evelyn by tracing massive circles with my palm. The circular motion seems to have a positive effect because the tears ease. Evelyn slowly lifts up her head off my damp t-shirt and her eyes look directly into mine. She sniffles her nose and puts forward a question, "Did anyone help her?" I shake my head implying a no. She tuts in disgust.

"What kind of society do we live in?" she manages to say in between her tears, "Oh that's right! One where no one gives a fuck about anyone else. No cares about you no-" I harshly cut off Evelyn's little rant and reminded her that I care, that I love her dearly and will always be there for her and protect her.

I kiss away the tears from her warn face and wrap my hands around her torso. I pull her in closer and kiss her passionately on the lips. "I'll make sure you never forget that I'm here for you," I add before pulling her in for another kiss. We both pull away and I notice that a smile can now be seen on Evelyn's pretty face. "That's more like it babe!" I chuckle heart-warmingly.

She smirks cheekily then requests me to continue on with the story. "Are you sure?" I ask worryingly. She nods her head up and down faintly. "I'm sure." She whispers in my ear. I lighten up Evelyn's face even more when I tell her that in the end Rowan got what he deserved.
