The Sin of Youth Ch 3

The Sin of Youth Ch 3

03 

The house was dead silent. It was almost ten

and Sarah still wouldn’t come out

We were sitting outside her bedroom door

nobody willing to leave

Mom, Dad, go to bed. I’ll watch over her,

said

How can I sleep with Sarah like this?my 

dad asked. Mom patted his back and leaned 

on his shoulder, her eyes all red and swollen

her tears long gone

Those bastards might come back tomorrow

You need to rest,I said

He’s right,Mom said. Listen to Danny

She’ll be safe with him.” 

Dad sighed heavily and slowly walked away

He used to work construction and hurt his 

back lifting sandbags. It got worse as he got 

older, now all he can do is slap on a pain 

patch

Watching his hunchedover figure, my throat 

tightened. I was so angry

After my parents turned off the lights,

knocked on the door twice, long, then twice 

short

That was our code

I used to sneak her out for latenight snacks

I would slip her candy when Mom and Dad 

weren’t looking, we’d go have fun

But this time, I didn’t get to see Sarah’s 

smiling face

Sarah,I whispered. Can I come in?” 

I had a key to her room

Still nothing

I had a bad feeling. I grabbed the key and 

unlocked the door

The smell of blood hit me like a punch in the 

gut

The sheets were soaked in blood, Sarah was 

lying there, half her body covered in it. Her 

wrists had these deep, jagged cuts

Sarah!” 

I picked her up and ran out

Mom! Dad! Sarah tried to kill herself!”
