The more I looked at my sisters expressions, arms folded over her chest and her foot lightly tapping as she gave me a stern look, I could actually say I was a little scared.

She reminded me so much of our mother it wasn't even funny.

I looked around and sighed. Then I finally took a deep breath and marched up the front steps, pushed her aside and went inside the house.

"Melony..." She said, annoyed that I was obviously ignoring her penetrating gaze.

"That's my name." I said still trying to escape the lecture she was about to give me.

"Melony I'm not kidding." She said, grabbing my shoulder and turning me around to face her. "I know we already talked about this, but it's late and you are always gone and I know you're up to something. I don't want any secrets between us anymore. We used to be best friends as well as sisters and now I feel like you farther away than you have ever been."

"Melony... I'm tired and I don't want to talk about this right now. We have all day tomorrow." I urged and gave her a pleading look to let me go to bed, I was exhausted, and I didn't even realize how late it actually was.

"I'm tired of you putting it off. If we wait till tomorrow then you'll want to talk about it next month and so on. Why can't we just do it now?" She asked.

"Because I'm Alpha here okay? Whatever I say goes. And I say, I'm going to bed. So goodnight Melony." I felt bad, but it was my only way out.

As I made my way up the stairs, I coups hear her sighing agitated probably. But I'm not the same sister that left her three years ago. I'll never be that girl.

And it's not like I can just tell her. She'll probably think it's another excuse to what the "bigger" problem is, which there is none.

I decided to just sleep it off and hoped for the best tomorrow. Maybe I could come up with some great story about how my heart was still broken and I go out at night and cry while I stare at the stars.

I couldn't tell anyone the truth.

My sister has always been an early riser. Ever since we were little. She would wake up, and go play with her dolls while I tried to plug out the sounds she made while making the barbies talk.

Therefore, I wasn't surprised that she was already up. Her and Graham were sprawled out on the couch, holding hands and smiling at each other.

I stopped for a moment and just watched them. The touches, the looks, the love they obviously had was so beautiful.

Too bad I will have to ruin it.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, nonchalantly, like I just walked into the room.

"Oh just watching a movie." Graham replied not even bothering to look up.

I went and sat down in one of the armchairs by the couch that they occupied.

"Lindsay, are we still on for today?" I asked.

"Yeah." She said smiling at me. I was relieved that she wasn't angry at our conversation last night.

"Aww, you're stealing her from me?" Graham moaned, and I rolled my eyes.

"Just one day Graham. I'm pretty sure you can live. And besides, I haven't been able to spend any quality time with her yet." I said.
