MOON

Chapter 7

|CRISSA'S POV|

I laid in the middle of my bed, staring up to the white ceiling and asking myself if...

If I actually 'believed' the events of last night.

Or

If it was all a dream.

If it was real, that means my neck was bitten into by a beautiful stranger and my boyfriend ... Or... Derek I mean, he's still hiding something from me.

It it was a dream, that means I could start this day fresh and try to forget about the tricks that my mind had played on me in my sleep.

But sadly, as I laid, I was in the same clothes from last night, my hair was a mess and my makeup was smudged.

I looked over to the clock that sat up on the small wooden bed side table.

7:23, it read.

"7:23?" I say quickly, hopping up from my bed. It was weird, I didn't feel any different but ... Images of the night before were playing in my head.

"Mom? holly?" I cried out in a panic, wanting to make sure everyone was O.K.

As quick as I spoke, holly ran to my doorway. "What? What is it." She says, I noticed her hair was done up in a perfect pony tail that was held by a blue bow. I open and close my mouth, "- I - holly. - are -" I mumbled.

She raises her eye brows, silently telling me to spit it out.

"Are you o.k. ?" I ask quickly.

She makes a face, folding her arms. "Yea, why wouldn't I be." She shrugs. "La-last night." I spay out, quickly patting down any fly away hairs.

"What about last night. Gosh spit it out Crissa." She says, annoyed.

"I-" I began.

"You- probably came home drunk- I had to walk to school this morning. While you got to sleep the day away. Is that what you wanted to tell me? Gosh- you need to break up with that loser," she says, mumbling to her self as she walks away from my door.

My mouth hands open for a second.

What was going on? Was she just 'pretending' ... Just acting as if nothing happened.

I follow out of my room behind her quickly. "Holly. Holly. Wait." I say, grabbing her arms. "Your telling me, after everything that happened last night- you're upset that I didn't drive you to school this morning. GOSH holly, be happy I woke up- I could of die-" I began.

She turns around quickly, "honestly, Crissa. In tired of you. O.K. - you wanna go out on dates with jerks and get drunk and come home and sleep the night away and you wanna pretend that our family isn't going through complete turmoil right now- be my guest. But damn it Crissa if you say your gunna take me to school and pick me up from practice the least you could do is JUST THAT." Holly shoots.

I take an unexpected step back.

"Holly-" I began.

"I don't ask you to do much. Mom doesn't ask you to do much. Crissa, no one asks you to do much. I relied on you to take me to sc-" she began.

"Holly your sounding a little to upset just for all this to be over a 'ride' to school." I shoot out, finally getting a word in.

"BECAUSE, ITS MORE THAN THE RIDE CRISSA." She shoots.

"If this is about last night then-" I began.

"No. Why do you keep bring up last night. Oh, was it another party that 'you' personally 'uninvited' me to, again. Sorry Crissa, wish I could reminisce with you but unfortunately my big sister is to freaking worried about her social status to take anyone els's feelings into consideration." Holly says as she turns away from me to walk into her room.
