Chapter 5
Lance finally made it home and as soon as he got into the house he went straight to his bed and laid there not moving a single muscle.
He just lied there staring at the wall just thinking and thinking. What was he supposed to think about? Life? His friends? Should he even call them friends anymore? Lance sure in hell didn’t want to call them friends anymore.
“Lance?” His sister popped her head into Lance’s room and was looking at him.
Lance got up and looked at her too. “Oh hey Ximena.” Lance said with a smile.
Ximena was only a year younger than Lance and had nice long flowy brown hair but her hair was a bit darker than Lance’s. Her lips full and pretty with a light gloss to them and she also had pretty ocean eyes just like her brother Lance. She also had beautiful long lashes that would get any girl wishing for lashes like hers.
“You seem down. Tell me what’s up.” Ximena said as she walked over to Lance’s bed and sat down next to him.
“Life. Life is what’s up.” Lance said as he flopped back down on his back and sighed.
“Hmm? Explain.” Ximena said as she turned to look at Lance again.
“Well it’s my friends basically. They’ve been ignoring me and it drove me crazy and just this morning they decide to talk to me again like they did nothing so i blew off on them and left.” Lance said as he covered his eyes with the back of his hand.
Ximena looked forward. “Well i would blow off too because what kind of friends would do that?” She sighed.
“I bet they just did it for their enjoyment and I bet keith just did it so he can get a way to ignore me because he already hates me enough.” Lance sighed then removed his hand to look at Ximena.
“Well i’m not going to argue with you on that because they did just ignore you out of the blue..I’d say you should just forget about them but i think you should give them another chance and tell them how it really made you feel and act and maybe they’ll think on the things they do to you okay?” Ximena said with a light smile. “But i think you should calm down for a bit and try to find it in yourself to forgive them. I suggest you distance yourself from them just for today okay Lance?” She said to him.
“Yeah okay i’ll try.” He said as he smiled at his sister.
“Haha okay but i should tell you this now.” His sister said.
“What?” Lance sat up afterwards.
“You’re late for work.” She said with a shit eating grin on her face. “I’d hurry.”
Lance shot out of the bed and widened his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me this when you came in my room Ximena?!”
She just shrugged her shoulders. “You looked like you really needed that talk.” She said as she got up and walked out.
Lance watched as she left and crossed his arms. “I’m so lucky to have such a caring sister.” He said with a smile then left his room and quickly left the house for work.

Lance hurried into the dinner with his apron on and rushing to the back. “Mama sorry i’m late but i’m here now!” He said as he got to the kitchen and started to help with his mom.
