One Hundred Sleepless Nights

I woke up to find my room still pitch black. I shifted to the side to glancing at the clock to see it was only two thirty in the morning. I'm surprised I'm up as this time. Honestly, I've been sleeping much better since I went to down to the station to testify against Frenchi. Granted, I hated that I had to tell on my own sister, but I feel far better knowing that innocent people will no longer be hurt.

I gave birth to Sahari Loraine Fuentes about two weeks ago. She is seriously so adorable and she looks just like Mike. Michelle has been attached to her and loves the fact that she finally is a big sister although, she does not quite grasp why I'm Sahari's mom and not Sam. Things have been great so far with Sahari, she rarely cries, normally only when she's hungry and sleepy. Other than that she's a mellow infant but she's still a lot for me to handle, especially with school and stuff. That's why I'm planning on letting Sam adopt Sahari. She doesn't know about this but I'm just going to sign the papers leaving her in Sam's care, I'd be for the best.

Mike is going through his process of an appeal, and with my testimony at his hearing today he should be walking out of court a free man. I just can't wait to see Michelle's face when she sees her daddy for the first time outside of the court or outside of jail walls. It's been so long, so long since she has had a chance to play with her Mike on the playground. Since she's had a Father-Daughter Movie Night, which they use to have every Saturday. It's been too long since she's been taken to the ice cream parlor by someone other than her Aunts, Uncles and Mom. She needs her father, and although I know that I'm part of the reason that he was in jail, I'm going to be the reason that he gets out of that hell whole.

Right now though Sam is away working night shift and I'm baby siting Michelle. Sam's been working a lot lately, even though she technically doesn't have to. The Pierce the Veil guys would provide for her anything that she would ever need. I guess she just wants to be an independent women, and I completely respect her for that. Raising a child on her on since she was sixteen, she is so strong. I wish I could be like her but I know that I can not.

"Auntie Fralena.......are you up?" I heard a voice whisper

I looked up at the door to see little Michelle, clutching her teddy bear "Yep, I'm up pumpkin. What's wrong?" The child walked over to my bedside standing quietly with her thumb in mouth. "Bad dream?" I questioned and she nodded. "Ohh come on here baby doll. Everything's going to be just fine."

"But....but in my dream daddy stayed away f-forever." she hiccuped

My heart dropped to my stomach, I knew that I was the reason for the child's sadness and although I'm trying to make things right, It still does not change the fact that what I had done was wrong.

"He'll be home soon baby girl." I whispered. Chelle was already starting to fall back asleep. "Don't you worry sweetie, daddy will be home. Auntie Lena will make sure of that."


"You know you shouldn't make promises you shouldn't keep." A voice called out.

I jumped in shock. "Who....who's there?"


"Damn little sis, you've forgotten my voice that quickly." She chuckled, a laugh that I'd always remember. "They really have changed you for the better."

It was then that I knew the source of the voice "Frenchie..........Frenchie what are you doing here? Why aren't you in jail?"

"I've killed over a dozen people without getting caught young one." I couldn't see her face because it was still dark, but I knew that there was a smirk dancing across it. "Did you really think I couldn't escape from jail........just jail?"

"So wh....what do you want?"

"Quite frankly you." I heard her foot steps as she walked farther into the room. "You are still part of my plan you know."

"No....no I'm not." I choked out. I was starting to be a little afraid, I mean this is Frenchie that we're talking about. " I dropped the plan, I've dropped everything. I've gave my testimony to the police. It's going to be told in court today."

"I know..." She stated simply. "But my plan must prevail. And you are a part of it, regardless of if you want to or not."

My blood ran as cold as ice. I knew Frenchie and I knew that if she said something she meant it. If I was a part of her plan, I was a part of it. I may not know what my said part is, but it's still there and I'm still a contributing factor for the completion of the mission. I was brought out of my thoughts by the feeling of old metal against my head, it didn't take a genius to know what it was.

"W..what do y..you want?" I sputtered out

"Come with me........know one gets hurt." She said. I could see her now that the moon was shinning in on us and never before has she looked so evil. " Don't come with me and there will be two dead bodies laying in here when Sam comes home from her night shift tonight." Frenchi reached out and softly petted Michelle's curly locks. "Now you wouldn't want Sam to come home to see her child dead.......now do you?" I shook my head, earning the pistol being dug deeper into my head. "I can't here you dear sister, now do you?"

"N-no..." I whimpered, letting my tears finally break through and cascade down my face. "N-no please d-don't hurt her."

"Submissive....Good. Now get up"

I laid Michelle down on the bed as softly as possible. I didn't want her to wake up while this was going on, we all know what Frenchi would do to her. As soon as I settled the child down I was roughly tugged out of bed by my arm.

"Walk." She commanded

And I did as I was told. I was obedient. Even though she made me walk in the woods bare foot. I didn't care. I was doing this to protect Michelle, and to protect Sahari. The pain I was going through now, whatever pain I was going to go through in the future, it would be worth it. I needed to protect my family.

"Is this her?" A ruff voice asked

I looked over to see a man, way beyond six feet tall. His body was littered in tattoos. I would say that he was fairly attractive but due the situation, I'm not in the mood to rate sexiness.

Frenchi smiled evily at me "This is she!"

"She looks so young...." The guy said sadly, eyeing me up and down. "So.....unexperienced."

My sister glared at him. "She's a whore whose banged a guy a decade older than her and has already had a baby." She spat. I admit that her words hurt, especially coming from someone I looked up to my whole life. She pushed me forward. "Don't judge a book by its cover aye.....just do your job Andrew."

"Do his job.....what job?" I questioned, wanting to know what he was going to do to me.

Frenchi flipped her hair "Just a little payback for throwing me under the bus."

"YOU WERE RUINING PEOPLES LIVES FRENCHI!"

"Yeah! WELL NOW I'M RUINING YOURS!"

I opened my mouth but let it slide close. She was ruining my life. What more could she possibly do that could ruin my life more than what it already was.

"How?" I whimpered "What's going on?"

She only said one thing.


"Welcome to the sex trade little sister........Welcome to Hell."
