His to keep

Chapter 19

Sonya's P.O.V

" So it all started when we were about 11," I began, " you would think that because I'm 11 there's not much wrong I can do, but my rebellious phase started early. I hung out with older people who were aged from 13 to 15 and honestly I'm not even a virgin." Alex looked at me with a shocked expression. Curiosity was written all over his face, so I continued. " While my sister was drawing in coloring books I was doing drugs and sneaking out and hanging out with people I had no business being with. My first boyfriend was much older than me. By the time me and sky were 12 she was covering for me and making sure I didn't get caught. Whenever dad would be looking for me she would pretend to be me. Since we were almost inseparable she could impersonate me very well. I went out and did all the fun things i wanted to while sky took all the heat. I never once said thank you for what she did. That's when we started arguing and because I was arguing with the only sister I'll ever have I started doing more drugs and staying out later. One night I was higher than the moon and I hid my stash under Sky's bed. I had totally forgotten that dad did random room checks to make sure we were cleaning our room right and not just shoving stuff under our beds. Well when he checked Sky's side of the room he found my stash and assumed it belonged to sky. Sky swore up and down it was mine and me being the terrible sister I was said she was lying and that I would never do something like that. Dad didn't want her corrupting me so he put her put her in the car and brought her here. So ever since sky has hated me." By the time I was done telling the story I had tears streaming down my face. Alex pulled me in a hug and cooed how everything would be alright. I only cried harder into his chest. I had so many thoughts racing through my head. God for so many years I've been a bad sister. I feel terrible. Alex released me from his comforting hold. He looked me in the eyes while wiping my tears.
" for some reason, I really hate it when you and sky cry." He said with the saddest expression.
"So, don't cry any more please." He looked truly sad. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him. "Thanks" was all I said before retreating to my room.
