Tangled In Chords *A Cimorelli Story*

Older Sister... AKA Protector

Lauren P.O.V
God I can't believe Christina said that! I'm sitting on a ledge overlooking a beach as tears are streaming down my face. Did Christina really say that I didn't deserve help?
I can't believe Lisa got hurt because of me too! Even Amy got hurt, ugh this is all my fault! I'm happy it's the weekend though, because I honestly don't think I would of been able to handle school right now.
I heard my phone buzz so I whipped it out of my pocket and to my surprise it was a text from Toby.
"Hey, I uhm heard about what happened today with Maddy, I hope your okay. You also were amazing in the meet too! Hopefully you call or text me so I know your okay Laur."
I smiled at the text but locked my phone without responding, I'm glad he cares about me but I really don't wanna talk to him right now.
I scanned the beach and saw a family of two children, one boy and one girl and then two adults whom I assume is there parents playing a little game of beach soccer. God I miss my parents, we used to do those sort of games all the time whether it be football, volleyball, soccer, heck we've even played tennis!
But now ever since the accident we haven't done anything together really, so doing this band thing would of brought us together but I don't know if that's gonna happen anymore.
I felt a hand on my shoulder which caused me to jump a little and I turned my head and saw Lisa standing there. I got a good look at her for the first time since the whole fight, she had scratches all over her arms, she has a gash under her left eye as well as a black eye, but it's not too bad, thank god. But I can only imagine how many bruises she has underneath her clothes because she got a lot of body shots as well.
Lisa sat down next to me and our feet were dangling over the edge and all you hard was the laughing of that one family and the oceans current. Lisa grabbed my hand and gave it a small squeeze and I squeezed back, it's basically or little code for I'm okay.
"You know what Christina said came out wrong right? She didn't mean it how it came out." Lisa told me and I shrugged, I mean if she didn't mean it like that then why'd she say it like she did?
"Yeah I know, it's just hurt ya know?" I told her and she nodded and wrapped her arm around me.
"Yeah, well I said some stuff I'm already regretting right now so hopefully Christina came to her senses" Lisa told me and I saw a tear roll down her cheek, I'm guessing things went ugly right after I left then.
"It probably wasn't that bad Lise, so don't worry about it okay?" I told her and she nodded. But one thing that was on my mind, was it really my fault my parents died?
"Lisa, is it..... Is it my fault mom and dad are dead?" I asked her and just as she was about to open her mouth to speak someone else spoke.
"Well if it isn't the hottie Lisa!" I turned my head and saw Hunter standing there with a cigar in his fingers smirking devilishly at us.
Lisa and I stood up and got away from the ledge to be safe and Lisa stood in front of me protectively.
"Get out of here Hunter" Lisa spat at him but he took another puff of his cigar and then chucked it as he wakes towards us.
"Sorry sweetheart but not until I get what I want, and that's you" he said pointing at Lisa and then walking forward and grabbing her wrist and I heard Lisa wince in pain and my sister instincts kicked in.
"Get OFF MY SISTER YOU CREEP!" I yelled at him whilst grabbing his hand off Lisa and pushing him back but that only angered him because soon enough he pushed me to the floor and I looked up to see Hunter trying to drag Lisa off, NO!
I was about to get up when I saw someone grab Hunter's arm and twist it behind his back and then kicked him in the back making him fall.
I watched as Lisa fell to the ground while holding her wrist so I crawled over to her as fast as possible and once I got there I looked back at the person who was fighting Hunter off, it was a girl but I couldn't see who it was since she wasn't facing us.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Hunter shouted while getting up off the floor and the mystery girl responded by punching him in the face and he dropped to the ground.
"I'm there older sister bitch" the person spoke and then kicked Hunter in the face knocking him about and she turned around and me and Lisa came face to face with Christina.
She ran over to the both of us and engulfed us into hugs.
"I'm so sorry Lauren, I didn't mean anything I said okay, I love you, I'm your older sister and I'm supposed to protect you and I failed that obviously." She said with a tear going down her cheek but I shook my head.
"It's not your fault, and you did. Pretty good job protecting us right now so I'd say you are one heck of a sister" I told her and I saw her smile a little bit before she brought me into a huge hug.
"Chris, I'm super sorry about what I said before, it was totally stupid, you've been providing so much for us!" Lisa said whilst tears were streaming down her face.
"No you were right Lisa, the only reason j had that stupid job was to take my mind off things. But now I'm done with that crap because being home with you guys is where I belong. You talked some sense into me so thank you, it's time for me to be your big sister" Christina said and then pulled Lisa in for a hug which I joined in on and we all were on the ground crying next to a unconscious Hunter but all that mattered is that we got Christina back.

A/N: Ayeee here's the next chapter guys!
Hoped y'all liked it! Christina coming in clutch? Tell me your thoughts on it!! Hunter totally had it coming tho like gtfo bish. 😂
Also I can't believe Grandma Phyllis died last night, it's just heartbreaking! 💔💔
I hate how life always decides to ruin people when they are in the prime time, but please send prayers for them, I know that Grandma Phyllis is at peace and watching over them now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
But remember guys make sure you tell people how much you love them before it's too late, I've made that mistake before and I don't want to make that mistake ever again... Just tell them you love them and really mean it!
I love you all and all a good night! 💙💙
