Secrets & Little Sister

CHAPTER 5

"No Akeno, we're not going to watch that stupid movie again." Audrey said after getting out of the Lyft that got them to the Hopes new residence.

"I agree with her on this one, that movie is terrible Aki." Max agreeed with his girlfriend after closing the car's door.

"The two of you don't know what good cinema looks like." Aki complained.

Walking through the building doors, the boys looked at each other surprised about the girl's new place. "Hello Andrew." The girl greeted the bulding's doorman.

"Wow Hope, nice building" Max said.

"Thanks Max." The blond thanked the brunette and rolled her eyes. "And Akeno, I can hear you mumbling about the movie, so you better stop that or else you'll actually be watching that movie while Max and I do something else."

"Fine, I accept my defeat. Doing what you have in mind is way better than that movie anyways." The pink haired boy suddenly changed his pout to a smirk.

"Good to know." Audrey said and right after, the elevator door opened and they all got out entering the apartment. "Welcome to my new place."

"Miss Audrey, welcome back. Umm, have you checked your phone recently?" Ms. Smith, one of their maids asked.

"No, not really." The girl said in slight panic after remembering the conversation she had over the phone with her mother the day before. "Oh God." After noticing how many lost calls she had from her sister the girl instantly went to Eloise's room without giving an explanation to her now clueless boyfriends.

Entering the younger Hope's room, Audrey was faced with a devastating view, her little sister was having a panic attacks, and this one seemed pretty bad. "Hey Buba, I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner." She said that and sat on her sister's bed. "Can I hold you?" The little girl didn't move. "I'll take that as a yes." The blond moved over to scoop her sister in her arms. "Now I need you to breath. In and out. Just like that." She said guiding Eloise.

The older girl noticed her boyfriend at the door frame with a puzzled and confused expression. "I'll explain in a minute, give me a second and go to my room., it's the one across from Eloise's room." She mouthed to them and turned her full attention back to the girl in her arms.

About 20 minutes later, Eloise's breathing was getting back to normal, so Audrey decided to ask her what had triggered the panic attack. "Lulu, what got you all worked up like this? I haven't seen you have a panic attack this bad since a week after..." The oldest Hope stop talking when she noticed what she was about to say, after all, it probably would make her already fragile sister even more distressed.

"Audgie, why did you leave me?" Eloise said in the smallest voice ever ignoring her the blond question.

"I'm so so sorry Lulu. I'm not leaving you again." Audrey reassured her sister, forgetting what she had just asked.

"I don't know if I believe in that." Lulu said and closed her eyes falling asleep almost instantly, that panic attack had taken a lot of her. Audrey on the other hand wouldn't be sleeping that night at all, her overthink wouldn't let her and she knew that.

After waiting for sometime making sure her sister was sleeping, Audrey left the room just to have Max and Aki outside looking for answers. "I'll explain it all, don't worry. Let's just go to my room, Lulu just fell asleep and I don't want her to wake up ."
