I kneeled down touching the stone where her name was carved in, I felt another tear rolled down my cheeks and my heart still aching. I released a ragged breath as I fought the tears to stop, but no it didn't, it never did. The memories, it's still fresh, I can still remember everything... all of it.
Being an only child it was really sad for me especially when I have no mom. My mom died when I came out, so I really dont know what is she like and never knew how a mother's love could feel. My father said she looks just like me and I was beautiful like her. My father is an army general, he's not always home so I was practically raised by my baby sitters and my maids.
My father being an army general and her mother a doctor, they met.
It was summer. The hot sun shone. I was only 7 years old when my dad married her mother. A smile formed on the corner of my lips, remembering how cute she is when she wore that little white bluish dress with a black ribbon on her back on the wedding.
I was really happy when they finally moved in our house, she was so shy and looks so fragile but I said to her "Its okay, we're going to be the best sisters you dont need to be shy. I'll take care of you." Her name is Gabrielle and was 2 years younger than me. She has an asthma problem and that left me the task to take care of her since my father and her mother is always not home because of their jobs. But It really didn't feel like a task, she was not a handful, she knows how to listen and behave in the best way possible. Also we both understand that our parents have the responsibility to make money for us to have a good life.
Like me Gabrielle is an only child so when we became sisters we're both really happy
One day when I was 12 she came home crying. We we're in the kitchen and my father and her mother asked her why is she crying. She said the kids in her school teased her because of her asthma and always bully her, she said she doesn't want to go to her school anymore because of that.
I was leaning in the kitchen counter just staring at her. I was so furious I felt my face burning. Then when the tears didn't stopped running down on her cheeks, I just can't control myself. Never have I seen Gabrielle cry that much, it broke my heart. No one's supposed to hurt my Gabrielle like that. Not until I'm alive. I got out of the house and after an hour I came back.
When I came home I smiled at her and said "Dont worry they won't bully you anymore. I took care of them. I promise, they will be nice to you when you come back to school tomorrow."
"Really?" She said sounding like little girl she is.
"Yes."
After I said that she smiled and hugged me saying "Your the best sis ever. I love you so much." I felt so happy making her smile again. That's what I always do, I always make her smile and if everything is not so good in her, I will always be there for her and make everything better.. only for her.
