Anything Could Happen

Ch. 10- Guilt Leads to Sorrow

I picked up Yesha. This time she wasn't with Xavier. That meant that Brandon wasn't around. Thank god. But Yesha was normal; average; common; customary; ordinary. At least she didn't ditch her best friends for a crush that she fell in love with only a week ago. I was raging with anger. UGGGH!

All I wanted to do was be alone. By myself. In a place with only me. Nobody could cheer me up. Except for my bests friends. They are the only reason why I'm mad. I stood them up. That wasn't like me. I really don't think they would understand. They were my best friends. That doesn't mean they would understand would it? I wondered why they called me in the bathroom. Probably to tell me that I wasn't spending enough time with them. You know what the old saying is, "Sisters Before Misters." I knew what I did wrong. I would hope they would forgive me for that. 

Yesha took out her phone and I took a little peek at what she was doing. She texted one of her best friends, Stephanie. She wanted her to come over in about 10 minutes. What? Just beacuse Mom is at work doesn't mean she can do what she wants. I have to approve it. Mom lets my friends come over whenever. It's becuase I'm the oldest and I ahve responsiblity. And since I was in a bad mood, Stephanie was not going to come over. 

We were almost at home. About 2 or 3 blocks away. 

"Can Stephanie come over?" Yesha asked me while texing Stephanie back.

"Not today, I'm not in the mood." I wanted to let her down easy, so she wouldn't get mad at me and go call Mom and tell on me like she usually does.  But, most of the time, Mom agrees with me, and this time I know for a fact she will agree with me. 

"But that's NOT fair!" She screamed at me. I had no other choice but to yell back at her.

"LIFE IS NOT FAIR!" I yelled in her face. We were standing in front of our house. We were face to face. She looked up to me and I looked down at her. Soon, tears came streaming down her face. I knew she was going to get what she wanted.

"Stop the crying. You can go to the Mall with her, after you finish your homework." I said to her. The tears stopped. It was Friday, I wanted her to have some fun. My sadness wasn't going to affect her happiness. 

"Thank you!" Yesha said while wrapping her hands around my waist. I felt comfortable. She walked up the stairs. She opened the door and skipped into our house. 

"Ya comin?" After a minute or so, she turned around realizing I wasn't following. 

"In a minute." I replied. She continued walking and before she shut the door, she threw me the keys. "Nice catch!" She said. 

After she closed the door, I paused thinking about what I've should've done instead of what I did. I sat on our steps. The warm breeze went through my hair and onto my face. I knew I was wrong.
