Back in their house, Angelo is already hoarse from crying and begging his father to go with him and help her, but to no avail, he doesn't even pay attention to him
ANGELO : dad ... please... Angel is in danger, we gotta go and help her.... Angelo kept begging his father
GASTON : Gaston, Angelo's drunkard father get off from his chair and walk over to Angelo, he mercilessly pulled him up by his hair and glared at him with his eyes red from drinking liquor.....
You worthless imp!!! if you want to go and help your whore of a sister, just go!!! stop pestering me!!! you're sister is just like your mother!!!
she's a whore flirting outside, instead of going home after buying the liquor i asked her to buy!!!! after that he pushed his son hard....
Little Angelo scared stiff to his bones crouch on his knees and try to get up, he ran out of their house going to their neighbours.
He knocked on the door of their house but no one even bother to open their door.....
Feeling helpless he turned to run back to where he left his oldest sister, but before he could make a move, he heard the voice of his older sister Ashley...
whom he didn't notice, run after him when she heard his father's words.....
ASHLEY : Angelo ... where are you going??? where's Angel??? Ashley ask worriedly.
ANGELO : She's out there, I'm going back to help her.... Angelo said trying to act tough in front of Her older sister...
ASHLEY : but you're still young..... there is nothing you can do to help....
i'm going with you, Ashley said to her brother.
ANGELO : no... ..... it's dangerous for you out there you can't go....
he said, instinctively wanting to protect his older sister in his mature young mind ...
ASHLEY : but you can't go back there alone!!! Ashley insisted, feeling afraid for his brother and sister....
ANGELO : But i have to.... if you come with me, i would only put you in danger, but if i come alone there is nothing they can do to me cause I'm only a child...
he explained, trying to make her sister see the heaviness of the situation .....
Then he urged his sister to go home.....
Go!!! it's dangerous and cold here ..... i can't waste anymore time here, i must go back there now...
ASHLEY : Angelo take care !!!! Ashley said as she turned to run going back home, her tears flowing down her cheeks.....
upon reaching home Ashley sat in a corner of their room, afraid to make even a slightest sound, praying for her sister and brother.
Angel passed out in the far corner of an alley from pain and exhaustion...
Her tears left a trail on her face as she cried endlessly before she lost consciousness.
Angelo run back to where he left his oldest sister ,looking around he found no sign of Angel in the dark alleyway....
As he look down on the ground he saw a trickle of blood from Angel's knees on the cobblestone.
ANGELO : Angel ..... he whispered silently as he get down on his knees tracing his finger on the trickle of blood on the ground..... He crouch down crying ...weeping silently.
He stayed in that position for a while until he heard footsteps behind him and a voice of an old man....
TIMOTHY : little boy??? what are you doing here??? why are you out here in this cold winters night???
Lifting up his head, he saw the old man and recognize him, he's the old man who live in the far corner of the street near their house.
