Family Is Forever

"Hey..I'm home" Bayley called out as she entered her house to find Charlotte lying leisurely on the couch while Sasha was flipping through the channels on the Tv from her seat in the arm chair

"Sasha that Tv is looking at me funny" Charlotte said not having heard or noticed the youngest Helmsley

"No it's not"

"Uhh..hello?"

"Yo what's up Bayley?" Charlotte said with a smile causing Sasha to roll her eyes while bayley stared at her older sister confused

"Yo?"

"Ignore her she's still coming down from her high" Sasha said, "apparently someone spent her lunch smoking and took edibles during her fourth block"

"She's high again?" Charlotte rolled her eyes and slowly pushed herself up from the couch, "Charlotte what is wrong with you? Do you want mom and dad to kill you?"

"This is what I said" Sasha said angrily

"You? You said that? Where's Becky?" Bayley asked not 100% sure that Sasha would be the responsible one in their situation

"Outside punching out her feelings" Sasha said pointing towards the backyard

Bayley placed her backpack down on the end of the couch beside Charlotte before she slowly walked to the glass door that showed Becky, wearing a white tank top and sweats as she kicked away at the punching bag that hung by the door, "Why is she out there?"

"She got into an argument with a boy at school and now she's taking out her anger"

"I thought she already did that" Charlotte asked, "Or was that a dream? Is this a dream?"

"No that was not a dream..Paige stopped her so now she's taking out her pent up anger on the punching bag" Sasha said to Charlotte before she got up and walked to stand beside Bayley by the door, "And I need her to hurry the fuck up because she's the one who knows all of the hangover cures"

"I've seen you get drunk before Sash..I would think that you would know something" bayley said with a raised eyebrow

"Yeah I do for people who are drunk..but Charlotte is high and I need her to not be by the time mom and dad get home" Sasha said before she banged on the glass door trying to get Becky's attention "Hey! Hurry up!"

"Woah, woah..don't do that" Bayley said grabbing Sasha's arm and dragging her away from the door, "When Becky is really angry you don't want to mess with her until she's done. The last time Dean did that she pushed him down the stairs. Now come on let's see what we can do...I mean with the two of us we can figure something out"

Sasha sighed and nodded as Charlotte slowly came into the kitchen and sat at the island, "Yeah we got two hours..we have to calm Becky and sober up Charlotte"

Bayley quickly took a look at Charlotte and saw the redness in her eyes, "Uh her eyes...we need like eye drops of something"

"Mom has some in her bathroom" Sasha said before running upstairs to get them

"How did you get through the day like this?" Bayley asked Charlotte who mumbled something and laughed to herself

"I have no idea how she did it but she did" Sasha said as she came into the room and placed the eyedrops on the counter, "Come on Char..sit up, we gotta get these eyedrops in you"

Sasha moved to lift their sister's head but Charlotte pulled away and began talking about some spirit animal or some colors that she was seeing, "Everything is orange...why are you guys so orange..like just all around you.."
