"Sis, where were you last night? I didn't sleep a wink because Mom was in my room all night asking if where'd you actually go" she said with her arms crossed.

I just got back here and the first thing she greeted me with is her "nagging".
I didn't have the energy to be around with her even just for a moment so I decided to walk past her

"Hey what's with the cold shoulder?"
she said tapping my shoulder. I didn't have a choice but to turn to her and answer whatever question she has because if I wouldn't do that she will be bothering me in my room. That's for sure. I know her too well, she wouldn't give it a rest

"I just needed some fresh air so I went out" I said plainly

"Needed some fresh air? So you were out there the whole night and your face still awfully looks the same" she stared at me with those eyes that are not so convinced to what I just said.

"What do you mean? What's with my face?"

I felt the need to hold my face to check if something's wrong with it

"You went out to let those stress fly away but you're back here looking just the same. You seem not okay at all" Her voice sounded so worried so I needed to avert my eyes away from her. This isn't the time to open up besides I can still perfectly handle it.

"Are you that worried huh? That worried face doesn't suit you, really" I joked making her shut her eyes

"Lia, I really am okay so if you dont mind.."

"Sure, you can sleep now but remember that we aint done yet. Fool, you forgot about my pizza.." she toned down her voice when she mouthed the last word, she couldn't let Mom find out that we are talking about the stuff she told us not to eat.

So this was really the reason why she wanted me home last night so I could get her that pizza. Cool. I thought she was finally worried about her sister.

I forgot to tell you who this kid is.

Lia is my mom's foster child. She was in great dolour when my grandparents took me away when she was in her sleep, heavens heard her silent cries so it gave her this annoying kid, Lia. This kid made my Mom happy when I was away, she was there to keep her going, she was there to wipe my Mom's tears away
so I am that much grateful towards her.

I was actually wanting to have a sister since then, I dont know if I will be happy because heavens finally granted my long-time wish and it gave me this kid who loves to annoy me so freaking much but what choice do I have but to accept this unfortunate gift haha kidding I love her with all my heart even if she often gives me headaches.

As I run towards my room I immediately drenched myself in the bath tub.

"This is literally the rest I am talking about" I muttered to myself

While I was at it a thought suddenly crossed my mind and it kinda made me upset. I was supposed to be chilling in here but I'm afraid that's no longer what I'm here for.

The reason why I didn't stay that long with Lia is because I'm afraid I will fall into my knees, crying. Never in my life I'll let her see me crying.

My eyes are now getting heavy, definitely in any minute now tears will be rolling down my cheeks but I hope not because it's not worthy. I cant cry my eyes out over petty things, it's a big N.O.


"Lisa, let's give it another try...Let's make it right this time..."

"No, we cant do that.."
Her words were like swords that strucked my heart. That was something I didn't expect I'd actually get to hear from her. How could she be so mean?

The tears I've been trying so hard to hold back started flowing, as my heart went heavy I needed to gather my hands together to cover my mouth for I have no intention of letting them know that I am crying over a shthead who doesn't even want me.

That sounds pretty insane.

I can't tell when will I ever stop crying over someone who doesn't want to be with me.

I can't tell when will these eyes get tired or am I gonna just weep as long as I'm alive?

That sounds ridiculous but sure if that's what is written in the stars then who am I to not accept it? If living in misery is what the world wants then I'll gladly accept it with a smile on my face.

Guess who's reaping the consequences of her nasty actions?

Sheesh! I can still perfectly visualize the face she was having while telling me she didn't want to give it a try—that she didn't want to continue our unfinished business ops that's kind of funny because we never had "that"

What unfinished business am I even saying?

But why did I feel like her arms wanted to hug me just as her body aching for my touch.  Why do I feel like she wanted me to convince her more just so she could accept me again...

It felt like she wanted to say that she wanna work things out for the both of
us—I read it in her eyes but she told me the exact opposite

Hell! Dont tell me she lied to me again?

I stood up as soon as I reached to that conclusion. Fudge! What a liar she is.
She lied to me, AGAIN.

But wait, what if I got it all wrong? What if my head is just playing with me again this time?

I dont know anymore.

"AAAAAAAH!" I felt the need to scream then my two sweethearts come to my door shouting if I was okay

"I'm all good. I am currently having a conference with myself, kindly leave me alone" I told them but they still insisted in getting into my room to check on me themselves

"I told you guys, I'm cool" It was still me trynna convince them

"Is there anything you wanna talk about?"  Mom looked at me with a face not so convinced the moment I shook my head

"Something's up, right mom?" Lia added.

They both stared at each other then had their eyes on me. Gosh why wont they just leave me alone for now?

I dont want to be around with anyone just for a moment, I desperately wanna be alone. I bet that would be enough for me to finally sort things out

"Nothing's wrong really but...nothing feels right either. I dont really know" I finally admitted while raising my hands up.

I cant pinpoint what's up with me right now or maybe I know all along but I beg to disregard it because it just doesn't feel right.

I can't really tell
