Calling Dr.Smiles

Ⅲ.Ⅵ

→"You may pay some type of rent here, but that doesn't mean anything! This is my house!"

Pacer dropped me and Rosalie off at our house. Apparently, she walked all he way to his house? And I really want to know what went through her head, because it wasn't walking distance. Definitely not walking distance for me. 

I try not to walk unless it's required.

Anyways, me and Rosalie were in my room. It was going on two and the little kids would be home in half an hour. Depending on if they had plans with their friends or not, it would just be me and my sister staying clear of our mother. Then I saw Dippy coming through my window. Like old times. She already opened it from the outside, and I made room on the bed for her to come and sit.

"So, anything you two Dillard sisters want to talk about? Anything at all?" Dippy asked us, she probably heard us, she was only a few doors down. I didn't want to speak about it, and if I knew my sister she wasn't going to even think about it for the remainder of the time she was here.

"I hooked up with someone at NYU, a one night stand. And it was weird." I blabbered to the both of them and they both gasped. I wasn't shocked, it was me who said it and did it. 

"Anna! You've been given me all this crap for Jalapeño Steve while you had a one night stand?!" She smacked my shoulder and shouted at me. Mom no doubt heard that, maybe that would be her note not to come into my room.

"Jalapeno steve? That's not his name." Dippy questioned her, and Rosalie looked around the room awkwardly. "Oh my god! You forgot your bed friends name! I did too, so no worries."

"Well, at least your not the one in bed with him. He's so stubborn about me having anytime of control! And his screams are just-" She goes on, detailing her sexual life but I stop her by kicking her in her side. I was her little sister for goodness sake! I didn't need to hear this!

"So, when do I get to meet your Brooklyn best friend? Nissi." Dippy asked me, I wasn't even- I never told her about Dippy. Or not like, to brag or- was I neglecting Dippy? I haven't called her in a few months. I didn't really know what was going on with her life. I was- neglecting my child!

I lunge at her and wrap my arms around her head. "Dippy, I love you. I love you so much, I'm gonna call you everyday. I'm gonna get Nissi to be your friend too! So we can call each other together."

" You have been quite forgetful with your calls, and-" Dippy's voice gets cut off when my room door bursts open. It's Aidan.

"Anna and Rosalie, may I speak to you in private?" He asks, his voice loud and tone was very mean and evil. I felt Dippy leaving my arms, but I pulled her in closer.

"Dippy is my best friend, whatever you say to me and Rosalie you can say to her, Aidan." I sneered him, and he only let out a huge breath. He didn't know who he was fighting with.

"Okay," He closed the door behind him and walked up to all of us on the bed "Your mother, is just going through a tough time and I want you all to just be there for her instead of just screaming and blaming her."

"No one is blaming her, and we are here, right? Anna came from New York and I stopped in the middle of a trip to get here. We are here, but she's not giving us anything. Like why are we here?Do you know?" Rosalie asked him, oo when Rose got defensive. Watch out! 

"She will tell you what's going on, when she's ready-" Aidan started up again, but Rosalie shut him down quickly.

"No, I'm ready. Anna's ready. Hell! Kurt's freakin ready! If she doesn't want to tell us, than I'll find out. Secrets tear families apart, and I'm not going to let this family tear again." She gave him an ultimatum, but I don't think he really got it, because he just sighed and left the room.

Dippy was the one to break the silence, "I think I might just have a girl crush on your sister."

I started laughing loudly as Rosalie lunged at Dippy, snuggling her on my bed. What a site to see, wow. 

The day went on like that, even after Iris and kurt came home. Because Kurt came into the room and painted our toe nails. I don't know, the kid could be nice sometimes I guess. And then Iris came back after going out somewhere. 

She came back with a hoodie, and that was definitely something to come back to!! Who's hoodie? Why? When? How?

I kept the questions to myself, and we all stayed in my room and face-timed Nissi. She didn't have classes today, and I missed her. And I wanted her to meet Dippy so she and her could become the best of friends.

After the call ended, it was four hours long, we all went to the garage to look through dad's old tapes. Well, Me, Rosalie and Iris did. Dippy and Kurt went in the backyard to go and find that invention I told them about. 

When the evening rolled around, there was no dinner. Mom didn't cook, or just didn't call us downstairs. So, Rosalie ordered pizza and everyone had a slice. We were all sprawled around my room by ten. Iris was hanging from my bed in her hoodie. And Kurt was going through my old dresser, I don't know why. Maybe he was looking for a new place to stash candy when I'm gone. 

Dippy was listening to something on my phone. it didn't sound too pleasant, it was probably a vine gone wrong. And Rosalie was going through my closet trying to find something to embarrass me.

Luckily, I hid all my kid clothes in the attic. And no one dares to go up there, Iris saw a bat in there one time and freaked. And no one has dared to go back up those steps again. Especially not me! How do bats end up in Seattle?

Almost twenty minutes later, Dippy left to go home. Something about her little sister and tucking her in. So, that made me want to tuck Kurt into bed. But we have to share my bed ever since that weird incident, so I ended up putting him in bed anyways. 

While Iris and Rosalie were leaving the room, they turned around to watch me tuck Kurt in. I saw them when I finished, and they smiled. Rosalie nodded at me and left the room, while Iris stayed back, "Anna, I'm gonna miss you when you leave."

I walked over to her, and brought her into a hug. She was a very emotional person, and I think she got that from mom. I don't know how the little kids will be after I caused all this madness. I didn't mean to, it just happened. "Iris, you can call me, anytime. And I'm not gone yet, okay? We still have, what about three weeks left?"

"Yeah, okay. Goodnight." She ejected from my hug and left with the door closing  behind her.

I didn't mean to cause all of this. I wasn't being a good daughter, to dad or mom.
