Sisterhood: Lily

chapter 2

chapter 2

Mum pulls her lips off Ricks and smiles that sweet smile that you only saw if she was super happy. She turns to us and beckons us over to meet them. Cara smiles as we come closer, she looks really nice.

"Jodie, Lily, Lucy, Lolly" she begins "This is Rick and Cara" Rick smiles at us and Care gives us a small wave.

"Hey" Jodie says smiling "so how long you staying for? the summer holidays?" she shrugs

"Jodie, they are staying permently" mum explains slowly. "Ricks even asked to marry me" She smiles.

Jodies smile goes blank. "What about dad!" she asks mum a little louder then usual.

"He lives in America and he has a girlfriend" Mum tells her with a firm tone

"But they havn't been getting on as well lately. Dad told me" she yells "What about if he comes back and you are married to, to him!" she points at Rick.

"Then he will realise what he lost and his mistakes"

"I hate you Rick and Cara Dimezzi !" Jodie screamed at the two before she stormed into the house and up to her room.

Rick looked worried, as if he had done something wrong. Cara looks even worse, guitly, like she knows shes done somthing wrong. Which she hasn't.

Mum gives out a big sigh. "I'm sorry about her Rick, Cara please don't take it personally she's just a bit senstive about her dad and she seems to have this crazy idea that he's coming back to us"

"But she was smiling when she saw us" Cara said confused.

"I know she was, but she proberly thourght that you was just tempory" mum explained "anyway lets get this party ready before the guests arrive" she smiles "Cara, why don't you help Lily in the kitchen?"

Cara nods and I lead her into the kitchen.

Cara sits at a small stool by the marble breakfest bar, her icy blue eyes watching me. Shes so intense. It's like she's trying to remember my every move.

I clear my throught, not wanting to sound husky when I talk to her. "Hey um... could you help me take these out?" I say pointing to the tray of egg sandwiches. Cara smiles at me, a bit toothy grin that shows off her sparkly white teeth.

"Sure" she says happily as she takes the tray in her hands and skips slightly out the door. I grab a china plate full of cookies and run to her side. 

"So Cara Dimezzi huh? Thats a weird name" I smile trying to get a conversation rolling.

"It's Italian, my mum was from Italy" She smiles back. I stare at her confussed. If its her mums last name why does she and her dad have it? Surely she should have Rick's surname? She must notice my reaction because she throws her head back and laughs, allowing her long dark blonde hair to flow behind her was we walked. "My dad took my mums last name, he said it was more interesting then plain old smith" she explained. I can't help but grin at her.

"Oh" I sigh "I get it" we both burst into a fit of giggles. I like Cara, I like her alot.   

Suddenly Cara stops in her tracks, looking out at the near hills. I follow her gaze, what is she staring at? Then I it, or should I say him. Jamie Jones is walking down the grassy slope, his spikey black hair looking sharp as needles and his grey eyes serious. Jamie Jones, Jodies boyfriend.

"Cara" I say to her waving my hand in front of her face. She blinks and smiles.

"He's so cute, who is he?" she asks, so eagar to find out more about Jamie. I sigh. out of all the boys in the town, she choses Jamie to crush on.

"His name is Jamie Jones." I tell her.

"Jamie Jones" she repeats dreamerly.

"And hes Jodies boyfriend"

"Oh" she frowns.

"Sorry" we walk a few more steps in silence.

We get to the purple clothed table and place the food down. I look at the feast, admiring my work. The smell of the fresh food makes my mouth water. Food is my passion, it fascinates me, in the same way dance fascinates Lucy or vampires with Lolly.

We stand there, looking at the food as mum comes into the garden, chatting to about 13 people behind her. She smiles at us.

More people pile into the garden and soon music is playing and people are dancing around the grass. Me and Lucy are dancing when the hocky pocky suddenly comes on. We fall into a bunch of giggles as everyone grabs hand and bundles into each other when running in. It's a blast and i don't think anyone could ever throw a better party.

The food is yum and everyone compliments me on it. I can feel my face glowing with pride, food is the only thing that can get me noticed in thi family. When you have four sisters you have to fight to get attention, and now with Cara and Rick im going to work twice a hard.

Everything is fine, everyone is dancing and chatting. I have a glass of a blue bubberly liquid in my hand, it tastes sweet and juicy. I slip it while Lolly tells me about her new hair colour. Spice berry purple. Shes only 11 and she dyes her hair every six month.

Suddenly theres a crash. Everyone turn to the source of the noise. We turn to see Jodie, Her face red with anger, her eyes giving deadly looks and a pile of pink china at her feet.  

"Jodie!" my mum yells at her "what is wrong with you?" 

Jodie falls to the floor, tears flowing out of her eyes. "I'm sorry, mum I'm sorry" she breaths. Mum shakes her head and scoop the 14 year old up. She leads her to her room while telling everyone to go home. It's late.

I climb into my bed. Looking over to Lucy i sigh.

"Jodie will be fine" She murmers into her blanket.

"I know" I say back dryly.

And with that I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

The woods is covered in a thick white blanket. The frozen ice sends chills down my spine. I slowly begin to spin around, laughing to myself. Soon I am dancing in the snow, I am graceful like a swan. I stop. Clapping, I hear clapping. Quickly I turn on my heel to face a boy, a boy with kind grey eyes and messy black hair he is smiling.

"Nice dancing" He say to me grinning.

"Thanks" I reply.

"I'm sparrow"

"Lily"

I bolt up in bed. That was some dream. I wonder where it came from. Oh well.

I lay back in my bed and fall back to sleep. Dreaming the same dream over and over again...
