Sometimes life has other plans for you

Sometimes life has other plans for you. One simple thing can change your whole life in a drastic turn. My sister's accident made me aware of how good my life actually was. I had no problems in my life that were drastic. The worst problem I had, was some guy not liking me back for me.

Some things open your eyes and make you love your life like it already is because we don't appreciate it enough at times. The accident made me love my life a bit more even though it was hard for my sister. And that took a toll on me because when my sister is hurt, it also hurts me. She is and always has been my rock in my life.

I am quite sure that she did more for me during that period of our life than I did for her. I felt useless at times when she was fighting for her life. All I could do was read stories to her that she loves so much. Something that her boyfriend has taken over since they got together. He reads her romance stories because she gets a lot of headaches when she focuses too much.

It has always shocked me how good he is with her when I thought the worst of him. His arms are full of tattoos. He is the definition of a bad boy but for some weird reason, he has a soft spot for my sister. She got through that tick wall he had around him with just her sunshine smiles and how amazing she is.

"Liandra Almere, you better be sleeping enough." Her face lights up my phone screen while I am tying my knee-high boots. The ones that she bought for me because she said that they would look amazing on stage. Which of course they do.

"I am sleeping enough, mom." She sticks her middle finger out hating that I call her mom all the time. She cares too much about me and would take all the pain away from me if it was possible. Which I also would do for her. "I am sorry for being worried about you, Lia. You are playing a lot at night and have early classes to go to. You better not be exhausting yourselves."

I am not going to tell her that I have been writing songs at night when I get back from concerts because she might come over here then. I don't need her to worry about me because I am actually really happy lately. Austin has been coming over a lot more and cooking for the four of us.

Willow and Arden have told me that I can't ever stop seeing him because he is an amazing cook. They also love the show he gives while cooking which he knows they do. Sometimes he makes a whole show of rolling up his sleeves because he saw me staring at him once like I was ready to get on my knees.

"I am sleeping enough hours." She wants to open her mouth to argue but I stop her. "And I am old enough to know when I should take care of myself better. You know that I can take care of myself so stop worrying about me."

"That is like asking her to stop breathing." Her boyfriend rounds the corner holding a brush and some hair ties. "Your sister is the worst when it comes to not worrying about people that she loves. She actually has been thinking of making you send your location to her so she knows that you are safe."

She turns around and looks at her boyfriend like she is ready to kill him. I am quite sure that he realizes his mistake because he blows her a kiss before sitting down behind her to fix her hair. "You worry too much, sweetheart. Your sister can make her own mistakes and if she really needs you, she will call you."
