MY SISTER .

Vanessa's POV

After Laura Ran Upstairs With A Busted Lip I Just Looked At Melissa. "What The Hell Was That?" I Asked Angrily. You Can Do A Lot Of Things And I Can Pretend To Not Be Bothered And brush It Off, But Dont Touch My Sister.

"She Was Asking For It." She Said Like A Child. I Ran My Fingers Through My Hair. "Melissa , You're No Teenage Girl! You Just Busted Your Niece's Lip!" I Said Trying To Get Her To Cope.

"Then Maybe She Learned Her Lesson." I Stared At Her Before I shook My Head. "I Can't Even believe You." I Mumbled. "What?" She Asked Raising Her Voice. "Vanessa I will Gladly Do The Same To You." She Said Slurring Her Words And Struggling To Keep Balance. Thats When I Noticed The Vodka Bottle On the Ground.

"You're Drunk Again?" I Asked In Disbelief, She's An alcoholic. "Might Be." She Said Stumbling. "No Wonder You Still Aren't Married." I Said Rolling My Eyes. as She Said She'd Do She Slapped The Hell Out Of Me. "Say It Again!" She Challenged With Her Arm Raised Ready to Swing.

Really? She Needs To get It Together. "You Need Help, Melissa." I Said Honestly Completely Ignoring Her Hand That she Started To Lower. "W-What?" She Asked Stuttering. "This Thing You're Pulling On Your Nieces Is Called Abuse. For No Damn reason." I Said.

"And You Hurt My Baby Sister ." I Pointed Out. She Stepped Back And Tripped Over Her heels. Guess She Should've Picked Those Up After All. I Walked Into The Kitchen And Just Sat On The Counter Top. She Fought my Sister Like Another Teenage Girl! She's A Drunken Mess.

She Honestly Needs To Get Help.. Rehab. Mentioned It To Her Before And She Tried To Throw Her 6 Inch Heels At me. Anger issues Much? I Can Get Down to That Level With Her Too Believe Me, She Should Ask Talia.

Stop Vanessa, Talia Is The Reason Riker Realized He Loves You.. Dont Hate Her. She Was Your Bestfriend, Until She Started Getting Suspicious And Um Well.. We All know What Went Down In That Hospital.

I just sat On The Counter Top Until Somebody walked In. I Spun Around On The counter To See Who It Was, Laura. "Hey." I said Trying To Figure Out Her Mood. "Uh, Hey." She Said Stiffly Smiling. A Stiff Smile Is Basically Pursing Your lips. She Walked Over To The Fridge And Got The Ice Out. "Whoa, What Are You doing?" I Asked Examining The whole Bag Of Ice. "I Need To Put Some Ice On This Sexy Busted Lip Of mines." She Said Sarcastically.

I Chuckled And Swung My Feet. "But Thanks For Getting Her Off Of Me, Drunks Have Crazy strength When They're.. Well Drunk." She Said Half Smiling. "Laur Did You Really Just Thank me?" I Asked.

She Tilted Her Head And Squinted In Confusion. "Yeah .. Why?" She Asked As If It Was Completely Normal. "Laura I'm Your Sister! You I'll Always Have Your Back In Ever Situation. It's Kind of My Job." I Said Playfully Flipping My Straightened Black Hair.

She Dropped A Chunk Of Ice In A Ziplock Bag And Held It To Her Lip. "Oh My God, This Actually Feels Great." She Said Closing Her Eyes. "Why Dont You Go Lay down." I Suggested. She Needs It, after Getting Attacked By Our.. Melissa. "At 8:00?" she Asked Like I was Crazy.

I rolled My Eyes. "Oh I'm Sorry, Does It have To be 9:00 For You to Lay Down?" I Asked Jokingly. She Smiled And Out Her Thinking Face On. "Preferably 10:00 But Thats Just Me." She Said While Closing The Freezer.

"Nah, I'm pretty Worn Out. And My Legs Are Sore, Seriously It Hurts To Walk." She Said Gently Rubbing Them. I Sighed. "I Guess I can't Have You Walk Up Those Stairs ." I Said Half Smiling. She Gasped. "Wow, Vanessa Marano Is Actually Going To Give Her Sister A Piggy Back Ride Upstairs?" she Said Cheesing.

I Gave Her A Confused Look. "Piggy Back Ride? Oh No No No, I Was Gonna suggest Crawling." I Said. She Smacked Her Lips And Narrowed Her Eyes At Me. I Laughed Loudly. "I'm Joking." I Reassured Her. I Jumped Off The Counter And Crouched Down In Front Of Her. She Gladly Hopped On. I Grabbed Her Legs For Support As She Held Onto My Shoulders. "So, Where Is Our Lovely Aunt At The Moment?" I said Sarcastically. She Groaned At The Talk About Melissa. "She Went Out To The Garage, Probably Left." She Said.

My Eyes Widened. "Left? Laura She's Drunk!" I Exclaimed. I Started Walking Upstairs To Laura's Room. "No She Went Out There To Get More Liquor And A Car Pulled Up In The Front So She Go In And If My Assumptions Are Right She Left With Rick." She Explained As We Got To Her Room.

I Nodded. She Hopped Off My Back When We Got Inside Her Room. As I Was About To Walk Out She Called My Name So I Turned Around. "Can You Stay In here And Kinda Chill With Me Tonight?" She Asked Hopefully. I Smiled, Of Course Id Chill with my Baby sister! I Nodded. "Just Let Me Get A Few Things, Change Into Pajamas, Get A Few Movies, And Make Us Some Popcorn And We'll Chill." I Said Smiling.

"Sounds Perfect." She Said Smiling As I Walked Out. It's Always Perfect When Me And Laura Spend Time Together. Like Actually Hang Out. She's My Little Sister And Id Never Let Anyone Lay A Finger On Her. You Dont Have To Ask me, I do What I Do For Laura Because I Care And Id Truly Die For Her.
