Death disguised as beauty

Numb

William (aka will)

Ahh, dagnabit which key is it again I'm always forgetting which key opens the front door, I even marked it. Oh, these are Kara's keys no wonder I could find the right one. After deep evaluation and the failed attempts of guessing which key it was with eeny, meeny, miny, and moe, I finally found the key that unlocks the front door. As I was walking past the living room, I saw Kara. s**t, I forgot to buy her phone back I'll just sneak past because I already have had a day full of pregnancy hormones and I can't manage my sister's crazy right now; I tiptoed well I tried "You know I can hear and see you right?" I looked over to see my reflection staring right back at me I felt stupid "You know I wasn't avoiding you or anything"

"Will it's fine you can go," I can go!, I can go?

   "Hey, you good?"

"Yeah," 

"Ok?" I said as not believing a word she said but didn't push it because obviously she wanted to be alone, so I left.

It was 12 am when the sound of someone screaming jolted me awake who was that I thought then it hit me, Kara! I took off in a flash and headed for her room to see what the hell was happening. I was at the door when the screaming stopped. I opened it to see a crying Kara in dad's arms  

"William, It's fine I've got this go back to bed." When did he get back, never mind what's important is why my baby sister is crying? Ignoring dad's request, went and sat on the bed beside them 

"Kara, what's wrong?" I said in a soft voice.

"Nothing, just go." Not wanting to add any unneeded stress to the situation I left, besides when she was ready she would tell me, right?

Kara

"No!" I screamed as I woke up gasping for air, my dad came rushing in with a baseball bat."Where's that bastard I'll rip him to shreds" I chuckled a bit almost forgetting about the nightmare I just had, after looking around a bit he slowly put down the bat and looked up at me his face instantly dropped, then after a few seconds of staring at my face his expression darken "who did that to you?"

"Did what?" I touched the part of my face that my dad was pointing to and flinched not expecting my cheek to be that sensitive my eyes widen as I spotted my reflection in the mirror I had a huge bruise on the side of my face, How did I not notice that before? "Kara Elisabeth Luther, who did that to your face," he said getting angry, not knowing what to do since I can't just say, hey dad my biology teacher tried to r**e me but it's all good since I killed him, oh and my night terrors are back because almost being r***d was very triggering, no! I can't do that so I pulled a trick that I've been doing since I understood the word manipulate, I cried, and just like always he drops the subject wraps his arms around me, and says "I'm sorry sweetheart, you don't have to talk about it now, ok?" 

"O-o- okay, " I sniffled, trying to make it more believable. 

"Kara, please don't cry, wh-what can I do to make you feel better?" he asked. Just as I was about to answer William walked in like, seriously he has the worst timing.

"William, It's fine I've got this go back to bed." dad said but ignoring dad's request, came sat on the bed beside us

"Kara, what's wrong?" he said looking concerned, the wait is he really falling for this too, I wonder if it'll work on mom, yeah maybe not 

"Nothing, just go," I said. He looked like he wanted to say something but he just left, good now back to dad.

"So you asked me what I wanted?" 

"Yes, I did but you clearly don't need it anymore since you 're smiling now"  

"Smiling?"

"Yes you were smiling, since you 're feeling better I'm going to get some beauty sleep even though I don't need it," he said as he winked and walked out the room. I laid down and sighed. Thanks a lot, Will.
