Sisterhood

Work it out

Lili walked in the house, as she walked through the living room she had to back track when she saw Monika slumped on the couch with Aster on her lap.

"Everything alright Monika?" Lili asked, only Aster turned to her, Monika just sat there staring at the T.V.

"Yeah," Monika replied, Lili could tell that was a lie.

"Are you sure?" Lili asked once more.

"Yes," Monika sneered, this time the irritation was easy to hear.

"Alright," Lili said then proceeded to the kitchen, there she saw Julia sitting at the table on her laptop. "Are you am Monika fighting again?" Lili asked.

"No, and I don't know why she's so upset,she came home like that. However," Julia continued as she shut her laptop, "I have an idea." Lili raised an eyebrow in interest. "Isabel called me today, apparently Felisa came home crying saying that her and Monika got into a fight."

"A fight?" Lili paused, "they don't do that often."

"What! They fight all the time, well it mostly consists of Monika just lecturing Felisa but still," Julia pointed out.

"Still Monika doesn't get upset like this," Lili paused to think, "you don't think they-"

"Broke up," Julia finished.

"Are you serious!" Monika shouted from the living room catching Julia and Lili's attention. "Are you seriously talking about me when I'm only a few feet away!"

"Monika, is there something going on between you and Felisa?" Lili asked.

"It's none of your business," Monika snapped.

"You two did break up!" Julia exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Monika shouted.

"You did cause you had the same attitude the last time you two broke up!" Julia continued.

"Julia stop it," Lili ordered, "Monika you need to drop the attitude." Monika only huffed, turning away.

"So they did break up, I knew it," Julia confirmed as she sat, bouncing on an exercise ball. Julia was finally able to confirm her theory when her, Isabel, and Francine got together to go to the gym. Lately it seemed like that's the only time they can talk face to face. With all of them having jobs and or going to collage, they don't hang out like they use to do.

"Yeah, Luciana and I were finally able to get it out of Felisa, now we just need to figure out how to kick her out of her depression," Isabel continued.

"Just like last time huh," Julia added.

"Well Felisa's depressed like last time, and Monika?"

"She's all moody, like all the time. It's really annoying, but yeah just like last time."

Suddenly without warning Francine came running up pushing Julia off the ball.

"Hey what the h-" Julia was cut off.

"Shush," Francine exclaimed, then grabbed Isabel sitting her on the ball. "Act natural!"

Before either of them could question it they saw Daniel walk by with a brunette girl hanging on his arm. As they walked by Daniel greeted the girls with a wave, Isabel and Francine waved back. Isabel moved over to see Julia had seen the whole thing.

"Julia?" Francine asked.

"He seems happy," those were the only words Julia could choke out.

"Let's go," Isabel said.
