After Midnight

Chapter IV

   On our way, I asked you why is she at her boyfriend's house this time and this age? And you broke in tears. I didn't know what to do. I thought that I hurt your feelings. So the first thing I did was apologizing for the way I acted, and for the things I said. But you told it wasn't my fault, but you were crying because since the tragedy had hit your family, your sister drove into addiction too. And you struggled with her for a long, long long time, before you got to get her to be sober. And she did get to the point where she was sober, until the age of 18, where her new boyfriend Cole appeared, and he was an addict too. You tried to stop her, but she was legal now, so she thought that she's a responsible adult that can make her own decisions and create her own life.

You two got into a fight, which pushed Katelynn to move in with Cole. The next day of your fight, you tried contacting her, calling her, texting her, even leaving her mail. But she was nowhere to be found. It has been this way for the past 2 months. And now apparently she and Cole had broken up, and he kicked her out of his house, so now she needs you and that's why she called. She sent you the address to come and get her too.

I mean your sister is pretty selfish to call you only when she needs something from you, but as I said, you are an altruistic person, and after all, she still is your sister. And you love her!

The second we parked in front of Cole's house, you dried off your tears with your hands, and got up as there was nothing, as if you didn't cry. You wanted to hold your sister in your arms, and make her feel okay, although that she has broken your heart, left you all alone, and didn't check on you or even try to call you except for when she needed something from you. And that got me even more attracted to you.

It was my first time seeing your sister, the time to make first impressions, but I decided to let it go now and do it another time. Katelynn was crying oceans, her mascara was smeared on beneath her eyes. She was falling apart, and there was no one but you, Katheryn, to bring all of her pieces into one whole again, to fix her. But that's going to take a lot of time again, and after this night, I am not sure that I want to let you go, so, I am going to help you, and maybe that way, you'll like me, or at least be as attracted to me as I am attracted to you?

We got into the car, and got on the road. I drove us to my place, how could I possibly leave you? You surely did resist it, because of the manners and all that stuff, but I insisted.

When we arrived, Katelynn was falling asleep, she had taken her dose, so I lifted her on my hands and carried her to the apartment. I put her on the couch. We sat there beside her for hours, hoping she would wake up so that you could talk to her. But after all this time, we gave up, so we went to the kitchen to grab a bite.
