Chapter 3:the call : I wonder how i should state my will?
Still in a dazed I stumble up the stairs like my body was soba but my mind intoxicated. I couldn't believe that my mother and father had to go on a business trip for a week and they were leaving us with an aunt we had only met once. I wonder how I should state my will. I was only six but what I could remember she was worse than my parents. Other then the formal calls she made and cards on birthdays you wouldn’t know she even acknowledge us. she was my mums younger sister but she lived alone with three cats that she always mentioned. All I knew after that moment is that summer was doomed.
My Aunt Vita hated: dirt, Dogs, discos, dungeons, men, malls, mammals (which was no surprise) but most of all she hated children and she made it clear to my sister and I but my parents were oblivious. For the next two days my parents packed and made arrangements. I hadn't seen my sister for two whole days. So I got up and knocked on her door. She opened it.
"What?" she said
"Diamond, I know you hate me but, summer is gonna be real crappy and you always have a plan"
"Your gonna just have to suffer"
"if I suffer so do you"
"Sapphire get this through your little unaccomplished brain, I’m an adult and you’re not , I’m right and your wrong"
She slammed the door and the frame shook just as my ego did. Something shattered inside me and the pieces floated around like homeless pieces of a lost puzzle. I returned to my room with tears running down my cheeks, I normally wasn't this emotional but my sister knew how to press my buttons’ will never let anyone know how much I actually did care about my sister and our relationship. I lay on my bed in a puddle of tears drowning on emotions.
I whipped my face and went down the stairs gracefully. I tried to cover up my pain and I hid it well. Both my mother and father were making business calls I knew this because of the tone of their voices and the context. The House phone rang and although I hated picking up the house phone I had to. I reached for the phone slowly, I put it against my open ear.
"Hello" a women’s voice greeted
"Hello, Aunt Vita is that you?" I asked.
"Yes Sapphire, put your mother on the phone" she said with no emotion.
"Sorry Aunt Vita she’s on the phone right now, but you can call back"
"I haven't got time for that, tell her can't come my cats sick"
Seriously her cat?
"Ok, I will"
"Make sure"
The line went dead, I was so confused. She couldn't come beacuse her cat was sick? I put down the phone and my mother walked in.
"Who was that on the phone?" She asked
I thought it over. I thought about the summer I would actually want to have. So what did I do for the Secound time in the space of three days.
"Oh Aunt Vita said she’s running late" I Lied
"Well ok we gotta go know, how late is she gonna be"
"Urrrrm I don't know, she didn't say , she’s sounded like she was in a rush so just hung up" I rambled.
Because of the stupid lie I had to lie again.
My mother called my sister down. She came down with a robe on. I was puzzled as I was sure my sister didn’t own a robe or she didn’t use it. Then I realized it was mine, but I didn't want to make a fuss.
"Ok, Diamond Aunt Vita is running late, so just wait for her to come" My mum mother said.
"Yes, mum"
We said our goodbyes, dad picked up the too large suitcases and they were off. As soon as they drove off I turned and asked "why, have you got my robe , on"
"The same reason why you wish you had a boyfriend, because you don't have one" she smirked at here joke.
Diamond then took off the robe and she had these tiny shorts on a top that showed her navel and a pair of converses.
"Diamond know its summer but we live in the U.K and that’s a lot of skin showing"
"Hahaha,"she said coldly "I'm going out tell Aunt Vita when she comes, tell her I'm out"
"Diamond"
"Yeah"
"She’s not coming I lied I'm sorry, why did i do this, my palms are sweating, my heart is beating out of my chest"
"She’s, not coming?" She interrupted my mini panic attack.
"No, sorry don't hurt me please"
My sister reached her arms out to me and I fletched, ready for what was to come but to my surprise she hugged me. Her warmth scared me I had nearly forgotten that Diamond was MY sister.
"You did something bad for the first wow' she said was speechless.
"Well you can’t stay here by yourself let’s get you dressed up"
We ran up stairs. My sister was never so nice to me. I would hate to quote high school musical b ut this is the start to something new.
