We just looked at each other. She stared at me with her small frame, dark brown eyes, and light brown hair. I could almost sense that she blamed me. I knew that she didn't know any better, but it still hurt. I barely knew her, and I was stuck with her, or as she would probably put it, she was stuck with me.
I stared back at her, my hazel eyes scanning her. I blamed myself as well. If I hadn't asked them to come, none of this would have happened. I never would have caused a two year old, my sister, to lose her parents. I felt like a monster. I stopped looking at her and turned around and opened the bread drawer. "Are you hungry?"
"No, when is mummy coming home?" she returned. I still hadn't told her, but I could tell that she knew that something was wrong.
"I don't know. I'm going to make myself a sandwich, do you want one?"
"Can I have a Vegemite sandwich?" she asked, her spirits visibly not lifted.
I grimaced. I hated Vegemite. I thought that it tasted like rat piss. "Sure." I began to make her her sandwich when my phone gave a short bing, signalling that I had a text. I picked up my phone. It was my boyfriend, Ashton.

I finished making Bobbie's sandwich. After I gave her her sandwich, my phone went off again.

I put down my phone and made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I started walking towards the TV room and beckoned Bobbie to follow. She did and we walked to the TV room. She sat down on her hot pink beanbag, and I sat on the sofa. I grabbed the remote off of the coffee table and turned the tele on. I surfed through for a while before deciding on Modern Family because one of the very few things that I knew about my younger sister was that she enjoyed the show Modern Family just as much as I did.
After an episode of Modern Family came on, I switched the tele to Disney Junior for Bobbie and got on Twitter. My housemates from Uni had messaged me multiple times. I had seen them only three days ago yet they were still bugging me.
I rolled my eyes and smiled. I didn't feel like checking my Twitter, so I went on Snapchat. I took a selfie of my signature selfie face (my cheeks blown up so that it looked like my mouth was full of water) i wrote, "whatcha doin" on it and I sent it to Ashton. I almost immediately got a response from him. He of course had duck lips on his. He asked if I could come over to "study". I took a picture of Bobbie and replied, "what do u think??" He responded with a pout face and "but i miss u" I laughed and took a random picture of God knows what (A/N y'know like the sofa or something) and asked him if he wanted to come over. Instead of responding on Snapchat he just texted me, "I'm on my way!!"
A/N Soooooooo did you like it?? This might be a complete and total bust but whatever.... PLEASE vote, comment, and all that jazz! Ilyasm <3
