Sindie



The glass I was holding slipped from my hand and smashed on the floor. No this can’t be happening, how?

I went to the floor trying to pick uo the broken pieces only to get cut. Shawn took my hand and led me into the tap “Sindie? Do you hear me?”

I turned to look at him absent minded and shook my head “How?” I finally asked the question that has been burning me ever since I first heard the news “Did he escape?”

Shawn shook his hand as he wrapped my hand with a bandage “He got out of parole.”

“But how? The man raped me, he tried to kill you in cold blood.” I said pointing my hand at him “How the hell does he get to walk out of jail just like that? How?”

“I know how you feel. I was just as shocked as you were when I heard.”

“He’s going to come after us, he’s going to kill us Shawn or better yet he’ll take Naledi from us and then kill us.”

“Hey.” Shawn said as he touched my hand “I’m not going to let anything happen to any of you, you hear me? I’m going to protect you and Naledi okay?”

I nodded as I wiped the fallen tear from my face.
