The unwanted sister

B O U N D A R I E S

They got married.
My brother got married.
My brother has a 3-year old child.
My brother is a husband and a father.
And I wasn't at the wedding.
I wasn't invited to my brother's wedding.

I hold my chest as I slide down my door, locking it on the way down. 

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they had girlfriends, maybe even a fiancé. But my brother had a wedding. And I wasn't there to witness it.

After a few more seconds of me contemplating our whole relationship, I hear a knock on the door as well as many feminine voices.

Lord help me god.

I wipe the stray tear away as I get up to open the door.

"Hi sweetheart, we were wondering if we could talk to you and get to know you for a bit." Erika says softly.

"If it's not too much trouble of course." A girl with ginger hair and sharp green eyes quickly adds. Her freckles decorating her nose like constellations.

"I- sure." I say with a small polite smile.

Let's get this over with.

Amelia and a girl with honey brown curls follow after Erika and the redhead.

We all sit on my bed in a sort of makeshift circle.

"So...what would you like to know?" The girl with curly hair asks, breaking the awkward silence.

"Preferably your names." I say with a tight lipped smile.

Redhead blushes as red as tomatoes as she looks horrified by the thought of not properly introducing herself.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to not introduce myself. I'm Lily...uhm Antonio's girlfriend." Redhead says.

"Antonio?" I ask just to be clear someone would willingly be in the same room as him for longer than needed.

"Y-yes."she stutters slightly by my disgusted facial expression.

"Okay. And what about you? Which one of my backstabbing brothers are you dating?" I ask curly head. My sentence causes tension in the room to grow. The four women exchanging panicked and worried glances with eachother.

Finally Eliza speaks up after nobody says anything. "Her name's Celine, she's Dante's girlfriend...Eleanor you need to know that your brothers, although they may not show it, they do care deeply about you. And you have to trust that they have your best interests at heart."

I scoff. "And they have the past 10 years to prove it." I say sarcastically.

"Eleanor-"

"I don't have anything against you guys. I think you all are wonderful, beautiful and probably good people, but I do have a grudge against my brothers. One that you probably won't understand by the panicked looks you're sharing." I say, cutting Amelia off.

"Trust me, I understand completely. If my brother dumped me in a boarding school for a decade I'd be pissed too. But I would still like to hear their view on the story." Celine says.

"And do you know their view on the story?" I ask with a sigh, already tired of their presence.

"Well- no, but I'm sure-" Celine starts but I cut her off for the second time in the past five minutes.
