Mercy...
I woke up to Phoebe screaming the house down.
I literally fell off my bed in the attempt to get up. I don't always know how I always end up at the edge of my bed all the time.
How bad do I sleep?? "Ahh ouch!!!" I groaned out for the pain which took over my body.
"Shit!! Pheb why???" I questioned loudly.
I picked myself off the floor and Walk out.
Getting off the stairs I see my mother leaving the kitchen. I never expected to see her first this morning.
"Mommy!!!" I yelled. Running into her hands. She hugged me back warming.
Hugging her makes me realize how much I missed her and her presence in this house.
"I miss you" I muffed.I am sure she heard me when she released me smiling at me.
"I miss you my baby". She said laughing and brushing unimaginable dust off my side face.
"Aww...how cute. You can tell her you misses her without her even saying she missed you." Phoebe said pouting at us.
Mom dragged me into her, hugged me again kissing my cheeks.
I smiled widely sticking my tongue out at Phoebe.
"I said that because I miss her. And she doesn't have to say it back"
Mum squeezes me tight."Oh.. my gosh!!! It's okay. I feel like chocking on your fragrance" I said struggling a little to get out of Mom's embrace.
I feel a little awkward now that all my family members are looking. It's feels weird fighting over mummy saying I miss you to I and Phoebe."Umm...I don't care anymore. I got Daddy's love to shower me everyday" Phoebe says with a little attitude crossing her arms on her chest.
"Hey!!! I never said you are my favorite. princess" Dad mocked her playfully.
She pouts her lips giving an angry face." Woo!!!.. someone is throwing draggers" I said with an attitude.
" I don't have a specific favorite person okay. Girls, you two are my favorite" I smiled at him while Phoebe smirked.
"but I got favorite!" Mum announced." Tell me about it" Phoebe said rolling her eyes out. Obviously we all know who her fave person is but knowing my parents, they will not tell who among I and Phoebe is their favorite.
"Which is nothing as good as breakfast. While you all argue here, let me go and make myself some delicious breakfast" Mom said leaving us in awe. Mr Joel followed his wife out like a puppy bouncing behind her.
I can't stop myself from laughing at how our parents dismiss this favorite person of a discussion. I won't lie...I really what to know who my dad's favorite person is. Mom's own is obvious already to everyone.
She loves Phoebe more and that's why they don't argue over particularly everything.* * *
After breakfast, Mom and Dad went into their room. I was left alone in the sitting room watching the Simpsons.
"Aren't you supposed to get Jason some gift or something for his birthday?" I heard Phoebe's voice out of no where.That is a great way of remaining me on getting a birthday gift for a boy who is not just a friend. Gosh!! I have no idea what to get him... I mean I bearly knows him although we have been hanging out a lot lately but I still don't know what he would like for his birthday or an essential thing he might being lacking in his life right now.
"I just don't know. Do you have any idea of what I can get him??"
I asked her. She smiles widely at me."you are weird, and I am right. You know, Mr Joel and I had an argument on this—" I gave her the really are you kidding right now look. "Do you know what? I think you should give him anything your heart goes with"
"Anything??" I questioned.
Anything my heart want. I can't go with that, like my mind can give crazy ideas and it surely leads to stupid stuffs or rather making me do stupid stuffs. My heart is saying give him chew gum. If I follow, it's definitely a pack of chew gum. Who will want that on their birthday??
"Yeah anything. It's not like you don't feel like giving him something" I shakes my head as a no. "Will you do that to him? I mean we love him and doing that will be too low for us." My inner devil said in my head.
"Tomorrow is the day. I have no idea what to wear and last minute shopping isn't a lucky thing to do— " will you stop whining and use your brain for once? Shut the hell up inni, it's not like you have a better idea of what to get our so called boy-friend I argued back at my inner voice. fuck you!!" I am freed up. It's not like it's my own party" I whined.
"Of course it's not yours but it's more like it's yours since you are going to help him with the preparation" please!! don't remain me. I have to be in his house, like in two hours. And I will be meeting with his family. His brother and his Mom like seriously... How am I going to behave or act? What kind of awkward situation will I find myself in????...
"I need to start preparing anytime soon and maybe drop at the mall to get his gift before going to his place" I just don't know.
"Hmm, that will be a good idea or do you want me to get it for you?" I looked at her.
"Nope!! Thank you very much" I answered her. "She is a better shopper than you" inner devil says making me think over it.
"Are you going out today?" I asked her. You can't judge me not knowing my sister's where about. Since I started hanging out with Jason—, like hanging out with Jason. I air quotes in my head. I miss out on lot's of things happening in my house."You want me shopping for a gift for you?" She asked winking at me.
I snort.
"It's more of asking for a favour" I can't tell her that because I know she will never let me be for the fact that I admitted indirectly that she is a better shopper."One more thing before we forgets" I looked up at her standing.
"What??" I challenged her to name her conditions. She can never do something for someone without a condition attached to it."You will take me with you to the party" she says making me giggles.
"You know the party is strictly by invitation" I remains her.
"We both know that is not the reason why I wasn't invited" what the hell is she saying. Yeah she can't be invited to the party because my parents won't allow her.
The only reason why I am even going is because Dad approved it.
"Dad would not allow you. You know that already" I made it clear to her."You are just using Dad as an excuse. Jason didn't invite me!! If he did, Dad might consider my going" okay now I see where this is going. "He always act like I don't exist. I thought it was because he was scared of Dad but you also started acting in that direction! I am your sister Mercy, do I need invitation to attend your own boyfriend birthday party?"
" This is a big sign of abandonment issues.what a whore you are? Chasing after misters over your own blood sister. Like you seriously hurt her without even knowing.no girl I thought you better"" He is not my boyfriend. Just a guy I got fond of hanging out with" trying to ignore the stupid voice in my head. " Woo... liar.you are all over this guy. What is the word fond doing in this dictionary?" My inner devil is the worse annoying voice ever!!! I just want it to shut the hell up.
"I don't care what kind of relationship you have with him. All I want is to spend time with you, I hardly hang out with you this days".
Truly...she hardly spend time with me now.
She is so into her study and me being jobless right now and having nothing to do, I just hangout with my fellow jobless Jason.
I do feel bad for her but there is nothing I can do.
She is underaged and it's a party that will likely be filled of beers, alcohol and boys.
