"Be safe and don't do drugs." "I won't mom." I shook my head at my baby sister, yeah she was 18 already but she was my baby. We both were very close as our parents worked at some big corporate company, they met there and got married. They rarely had time for both of us. I and Melissa could understand their problem. It wasn't like they hated us or anything we met twice a year or thrice if their boss was being generous. It meant we both had the house all to ourselves. It was a regular one-storied house (pic above) with 3 bedrooms and the lawn which we both loved.
Siblings do have a strong bond,  but I think we have the strongest of all. We were there for each other at all times, whether it be studying for finals (panicking at the last moment in my case and Melissa consoling me that I won't fail) bad breakups which were actually very stupid now that I think of it,  period cramps!!!  I hate those. It's an era of equality right? Boys should have those too, just to know how it feels like when you feel you want to kill someone and then yourself, bleed through 5 days and pretend everything is fine, one moment you want to eat chocolate and the next moment you want pasta? It shouldn't work that way! Ahh, what was I saying? I get distracted every time sorry so back to the story, we had many memories together.

Melissa was the sweetest thing ever. She couldn't hurt a fly. She was an angel, kindness oozed from her. She believed kindness was the solution to every problem ever. Due to this people took advantage of it many times. She was the sweet one didn't mean I hadn't taught her to fight her own battles. Tried to make her strong for this wicked world who only knew to take advantage of the kind. That didn't mean she learned to say no. I guess her kindness was her strength.

She wanted to become a scientist,  always wanted to help others. She was very hard on herself while researching for her assignments. She made me worried. She had a passion in her eyes, the fire made me really happy.
My friends teased me from time to time that I was being her mom more than her sister but I didn't care. She was beautiful both inside out. I was scared for her would be the understatement of the year. Ah, I really really love her, my baby sister.

Tonight her friend Jane was throwing her 18th birthday party at a club. At first, I was not so sure to let her go but she really wanted to go. And when Melissa made her mind no one could stop her. I was desperate to go spy on her but controlled myself, she had to gain the experience on her own, I couldn't be there for her every time right? It was just a party, right? What could happen there?
