"Good." Said Heather without any emotions as she pours orange juice in a glass.

Stacey just got home and saw her sister in the kitchen.

"Is that all you will say?" she asked her. She is trying very hard to control herself.

After all the things she had to go through just to save her from going behind bars, the word good is the only thing that her half sister will say?

Heather just shrugged her shoulders. She put back the carton of carrot juice in the fridge before she turned to her.

"What do you want to hear from me Stacey? You want me to say how grateful I am cause you saved my ass?" she asked sarcastically.

Stacey balled her fists.

Get a grip on yourself ! You know how bitchy she is! She told herself.

"Well, my bad. It's so stupid of me to expect any gratitude from you. This will be the last time that I will save your ass , you ungrateful brat!" she angrily said.

"STACEY!" their mother's shocked voice thundered in the kitchen.

Heather's expression change. She looks so hurt and almost in tears. She must have seen their mother coming while she has her back to the entrance of the kitchen.

"Mom! Did you hear what she called me?" she asked their mother with a quiet sob.

Stacey closed her eyes for a moment.

Gosh! Here we go again! She thought.

"How could you say such things to your sister? It was you who offered to do anything to help! Have you forgotten that?" their mother asked her with knitted brows.

Stacey slowly faced.

"Ma, do you know what I had to do today?I was almost naked during the pictorial! I even had to do an interview and pretend that I am someone I'm not. I had to force myself to casually answer questions that for me are too personal and vulgar. And that's not the end of it! This week, men will feast their eyes on my still photos where I  am  wearing almost nothing! Then my dear sister here won't even say thank you?" she asked while swallowing a sob.

Her mother's face softened   but then, Heather ran to her. "Mom! You know that it was an accident. I was just so scared cause I didn't want to go to jail. I didn't want any of those to happen!" she cried.

"We know that honey but you should thank your sister." Mrs. Williams said.

And the best actress award goes to Heather Williams!

Stacey shook her head as she wiped her eyes full of unshed tears with her hand.

"It's okay Ma. No need for her to say thank you." She said before walking out of their kitchen. She heard her mother called her but she just ignored her.

"I am itching to grab all your sister's hair and slap her non-stop!" Eve, her bestfriend since elementary, said.

They are in her friend's unit. Eve  lives alone in the city because her family is in the province. She has a band with four members where she  is the bassist and the other female member is the vocalist. They regularly play in a bar which she and Blake own. They are cousins.

"Girlfriend ! I have been telling you that Heather is deliberately putting you in trouble but this is too much! This is the worst so far!" 

"I know. Once the magazine is published, it will really change my life.I don't even want to go to work anymore because Tyler is a subscriber of that magazine." Stacey said sadly.
