#549 part 6 I screamed and rushed over to my brother. I looked at my father and he looked shock. Like he didn’t mean to shoot him. “OMG see what you little s**t made me do?” he was saying. I hear sirens. And then our front door was broken down. A rush of police officers entered pointing guns at my dad. “Sir put the gun down” but dad grabbed me and held the gun to my neck. “You are not taking me. It was an accident” He said to the officer “Please my brother is bleeding” I cried out. All my fear was focused on my brother. One of the officers, quickly grabbed Dan and moved him out of harms way. I however was not so lucky. “I came to get my family. This is my family” dad was ranting out to the cops. “We were never your family. From day one we were just another responsibility for you. But not a family” I said “SHUT UP JUST SHUT THE HELL UP” dad yelled as the pressed the guy harder into my neck. “Sir, these kids have done nothing. What do you want?” asked the cop again. “I want to take my family home” Dad was talking to himself. Fighting his demon I suppose. He kept moving the gun away from me then back to my neck. I had to take a chance. I can’t just stand here waiting for some miracle. “You see all this?” he was now waving his hand talking to the cops. I quickly elbowed his stomach and dropped to the floor. The officer that’s been talking to dad, took a shot to dads hand that held the gun. The gun flew to the couch and dad bend over with pain. Two officers quickly grabbed me and moved me out of the house too. My brother was already on his way to the hospital. I wanted to be with him. I didn’t care for the scene still going on in our house I just wanted to be with my brother. One of the officers told me to get in the car. And then he drove me to the hospital. We arrived asked for my brother, the receptionist told us to wait. He is in theatre. Didn’t know whether to call mom or not, I decided to wait for news. As I waited my phone rang, the number wasn’t familiar to me. “Hello” I answered quietly. “Melysa?” came a male voice. “yeah?” Its Arnold. We met this afternoon at your mothers wedding?” Arnold! OMG he rang. I was blushing when he asked “are you available to talk?” I replied yes. The sound of reception calling a doctor Arnold asked “Why are you at the hospital?” I explained to him what happened and why Im at the hospital. Arnold rushed down to find me curled up on one of the chairs. “Melysa?” I woke up to his gentle shaking of me. “Hi” I said tiredly. “Are you hungry?” I nodded. The last time I ate was five hours earlier Arnold left me and was back with food and drinks. I was half way through, when the doctor came out. “Miss are you Dan’s sister?” he asked directly at me, I guess the cop that sat two chairs over gave it away lol. “Come” I almost ran to him, but stopped looked at Arnold and held out my hand. We walked in the recovery room, Dan was just waking up. His eyes focused on me, “Hey sis” I wanted to hug him, but I didn’t want to hurt him. “Hi” I said with tears. Arnold put his hands around my shoulders and I turned into his chest and burst out crying. “He will be ok. Out of action for maybe four weeks, but lucky the bullet didn’t hit any main organs. Your brother is a lucky guy” the doctors encouraging words made me look up to him. “Thank you” I said. A knock on the door and us three looked. It was the cops wanting to take statements. We gave our statements, and then they left. “I want to stay with you tonight” I said to Dan. He smiled at me “No! I need you to go home and have a good rest. I will need you when I get out” he said to me as I hugged him. “Arnold, I’m trusting you with my sister” Arnold nodded. We talked until the nurse told us, it’s time for the patients to go sleep. As we walked out Arnold held my hand all the way to his car. He was really a gentleman. Drove me home, and then helped me clean up the mess in the lounge and hallway. I was feeling tired when we were done. “Im going to have a shower. Make yourself at home” I said to him. I headed for my room and I could here Arnold whistling in the kitchen. As I hopped out of the shower, I could smell food. After we ate, we sat in the lounge and just relaxed. No talking just the feeling of comfort I guess. “You don’t have to babysit me you know” I said to him, and hoping that he won’t leave. I stroked my hair back from my face and then lean over. “Nope I don’t have to babysit you. But I do want to make love to you” My face was burning, he was charming and then we woke up in the same bed next morning lol. The incident with our dad was tragic, but it brought Arnold in my life quicker then expected. The bond between brother and sister was made stronger and when our step dad found out what happened, he made sure we were safe at all times. Arnold and I got married the year I turned 22. We both worked hard, and we still live with mom and “dad” aka Peter Farow. My brother completed his scholarship and is now assistance coach to one of our States Football team. His earning plus mine, we bought a house for our parents. As well as set up a safehouse for those families whom are walking the same road we did. Dan is also married and have two beautiful children already, as we await the birth of my new born in a couple of months. *©Love, honour and loyalty in a family is hard to break. And when things happens it makes that bond even stronger. For the family you were born into, God made sure you fitted in, whether to teach them a lesson, or remind them of themselves, God chose the perfect one for you”
