TRIGGER WARNING! Underage drinking, substance use, anxiety

Simon:

The next day arrived. I went to the bathroom to put myself together. When I was brushing my teeth, I caught sight of my sister. Her image was reflected in the mirror. She was packing cigarettes into her bag. I needed to do something! I didn't wanna mum to find out. I came closer to Sara. I was trying not to make any unnecessary sounds. 

-Pss, hey! I touched her arm with my finger.

-Holy shit! Simon! She yelled out of surprise.

She got scared.

She jumped, and her stuff fell to the ground.

-Shhh! I hushed her.

Sara was trying to put her items back in the bag, unsuccessfully. They keep falling from her hands.

I came to stop her and put my hands on her arms.

-Let go of me! The girl tried to defend herself.

-Sorry. I muttered, and slightly backed up.

-Can I at least help you with this? I pointed out the mess. 

She reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Finally, we packed everything back into her bag.

-What's the noise? Our mum ran to us.

-I'm not sure. Ask your son. Sara casually walked out of the room.

She simply left me to deal with that alone. How dare she!

Mi mamá was probably expecting me to say something about this.

-What? I groaned.

-We need to be more patient with her. It's challenging, isn't it?

-Indeed. I breathed out.

We went to the living room and sat on the couch to talk more.

-How's Wille? She asked me.

-He's doing better. 

-Ay, thank God. My mum smiled genuinely.

-August visited him too. We had been fighting, which didn't turn out to be good for Wille. I reveled.

-Did you solve your issues? She raised her eyebrow.

-Yeah, kind of. We both came to some conclusions. 

-Did you discuss it with Wilhelm after that argument?

-We did. I said I'm sorry. We were holding hands for a short period. And he felt better.

-Short, huh? She teased me.

-Stop. I laughed.

-Are you two okay, then? 

-I suppose, yeah. 

-You don't even know how proud of you I am. She stroked my cheek.

-Thank you. I smiled at her.

-What about your nurse training? I questioned as we were heading into the kitchen.

-It went brilliantly! 

I believe that I have learned more there than in five years at my work.

-Wow! Are you kidding? It's awesome! I grinned.

I was extremely happy for her!

-Gracias, mi amor. 

Come on! Breakfast is on the table.
