It was Monday. Scarlet and Brendan walked into the school together hand, in hand. As they walked down the hall Scarlet saw someone who looked familiar, too familiar. It was her sister, Olivia. Scarlet ran to her sister grabbing her and pulling her into a tight hug. "Olivia where have you been??" Scarlet looked at Olivia who looked hungover. "I... I thought you were.." She bit her lip looking down. "Dead.."
Olivia was being sassy at her sister. "I was at my boyfriends house. Actually living instead of at that shitty apartment where I found mom. Your a bad person Scarlet. Stay away from me. I never want to see you again." Olivia stomped off leaving Scarlet standing there.
Brendan walked up behind her and hugged her tightly from behind. "It's okay baby.. You don't need her.. Your strong. I know you are." Scarlet felt a hot tear rolling down her cheek. Olivia changed, shes on drugs. I can tell by the look in her eyes. I need to stop her from getting caught up in that horrible mess.
Scarlet was sitting outside during lunch, Brendan walked up and sat next to her. "Ya know. All I ever really wanted was to have a normal life with a sister who actually cared enough to not yell at me." Scarlet was crying into Brendan's shoulder hiding her face from people. "All I really want is to have my sister back. I want my dad back."
