She's My Sister

Dear Diary,

Or should I say ‘my shoulder to cry on’? Because that’s what I’ve been doing for the past…several hours. I’m so upset I can’t even keep track of time.

Daniel.

Daniel Sahyounie, that boy from the Janoskians I constantly write about, dumped me. ME, Princess Illitia of Cantabria. To be honest, I always thought that if he and I broke up it would be because I wanted to end things. But it didn’t happen that way. He left me because I’m a spoiled brat.

Because I party too much.

Because I kiss random Princes at parties.

Because I’m ugly.

Because he’s bored of me now.

Because he met some bitch who probably has cellulite, yellow teeth, severe acne on her face and hair that is so damaged that it looks like a broom.

Because HE DOESN’T LOVE ME ANYMORE.

That must be it.

I need to get him back. Daniel is my everything, if he’s not with me I feel incomplete. How can this be happening to me? Everything was going so well. My life was so perfect. I have to do something, I have to make him see he needs to be with me.

No.

Maybe I should let him realize he’s wrong about ending our relationship. That’s the master plan! Once again, I have solved everything on my own.

Xoxo,

-Illitia

We sat in one of the couches of his hotel room, drinking some tea as he told me everything. I saw him with pity, he genuinely looked crushed about the break-up, as if he had just committed a heinous crime. He set his cup on the coffee table and buried his face in his hands as he said, his voice cracking, “I know I’m doing the right thing, then why do I feel so horrible? Maybe I was too hard on her? I said terrible things. You should have seen the look on her beautiful face. She looked like her entire world was crumbling around her.”

A stab at my heart. Why am I such a softie? Illitia hates me so I should be happy to see her suffer. Right?

“It looks like you need to think things over better. Reconsider what you decided and see if its what you really want. I feel like you love her so much, but you don’t want her to hurt you anymore.” I said to him, placing my hand on his shoulder reassuringly. I couldn’t tell her his ex and I were sisters, I had to find the right moment to do it.

“I thought it was the right thing to do when I was worked up and angry at her. But after seeing her so sad, after seeing her entire world destroyed…I now see that I need her. She’s like my air. I know I’m just a little distraction to her and we're both so young, but I want to be with her forever. Not in secret, but as her official boyfriend.” He said, his eyes met mine and there it was again. Another stab at my heart. Partly because I was falling in love with him and partly because I knew he loved my sister and I could never have him.

I scooted closer to him on the sofa and wrapped an arm around his waist, leaning my head on his shoulder. “Everything will work out.” Was all I could manage to tell him.

“Why can’t everything be easy?” He asked, his eyes glistening with tears and I nodded. Why can’t it be easy? Kevin was disappeared for months but then he suddenly comes back into my life and expects me to just accept the fact that he didn’t talk to me since I came to Australia. After grandma invited him, I talked to him and let him know I wasn’t happy with him.

It turned into an argument that concluded with a break up. Kevin asked for forgiveness the next day, but I wasn’t sure I wanted him in my life anymore. Needless to say, I asked father to get him a plane ticket back to LA as soon as possible.

As I dazed off into my own little world, I didn’t notice Daniel watching me. When I finally realized it, he was leaning in closer and closer. His lips grazed mine and I closed my eyes, accepting what was coming. Our lips moved together and his arms wrapped around my waist, pushing me down onto the leather couch slowly at the same time. We pulled away breathlessly and his lips went towards my neck, leaving feather light kisses on the way. I tangled my hands in his hair as he continued to kiss me. My eyes went wide when he pulled away and grabbed onto the waist of my jeans.

My hands went to his chest and I pushed him away with fear evident in my tone, “Daniel, stop.”

“Why?” He asked in confusion.

I said breathlessly, “This is not right. You love that girl. I don’t want to be a rebound, I don’t want to be someone you’ll use to forget your sadness for a few moments. I really have feelings for you and I don’t want to feel like you’re using me.” I frowned.

He still came closer and began kissing my neck again. I tried pushing him away once more. He protested, “Don’t you want this though? I want you. Illitia did things like this all the time while she was dating me. I should be able to have fun now that I’m single.” He purred seductively. I wanted to be with him, but not this way.

“No, Daniel.” I said, pushing him away from me for a third time.

“Why not?” He asked, now sounding a bit irritated.

“Because Illitia is my sister!” The words spilled out of my mouth like vomit. “I can’t do this to her.”

He froze at the sound of my words and pulled away quickly. It almost seemed like he’d received an electric shock off me. He moved as far away from me as possible from me and stared wide eyed. “You and Illitia…are sisters?” He asked in disbelief. “How is that possible? Then that means you’re…”

“I am Princess Lissette of Navarre. Its going to be my official title when I go to Spain to join my family.” I announced.

Daniel apologized, straightening his clothes out “I’m sorry about this whole scene. I just got carried away in the moment and I was being stupid. I don’t mean to try to use you and you’re right. I do love Illitia and only her. You’re the best friend any one could ever ask for but I love her. I’m sorry for this uncomfortable moment.” He looked at me awkwardly.

I grinned and threw myself at him, “You’re babbling on like a moron.” I joked, earning a chuckle from him.

“Sorry, your royal highness.” He smirked.

I punched him in the shoulder lightly, “Ugh. Shut up. I hate being a Princess.” I told him and then we stayed quiet. I was now lost in my thoughts, wondering how I was going to get my best friend and my sister back together.
