The Curtis Sister

Part 5

Darry's  POV (i know it's not Carmine's Pov but im gonna try to make it good)

I had finally left the store. It was surprisingly empty. I was worried about Carmine, to be honest. She works to hard if you ask me. She works the same amount of hours as me if not more and she's 4 years younger than me. And when I tell her to take a break off of work she tells us no. She has always been stubborn and a real hard worker. Mom always said she was more of the dominant twin than Soda was in certain aspects. She may be a little short but she sure had a big personality. Soda was always carefree willing to fight if needed but never intentionally.

I had a gut feeling she wasn't sleeping. She was either reading or cleaning or doing something to be productive. Even though when mom and dad died I became the parenteral figure she definitely stepped up. We all did but she definitely changed a whole lot. She dropped out of school and got a job at the dingo. She became a lot more anxious and her liveliness was still there just a bit overshadowed by her need to work hard all the time.

When I walked into the house I realized my assumptions were true. She wasn't on the couch where I left her.

"Car where are you," I called out to her. There was no answer. I went and looked around the house. She was nowhere to be found. I knew where she went. I had just gotten a phone call to confirm it. And i know my little sis if she really wants something shes gonna get it.

*Carmines POV*

I had woken up about 15 minutes after Darry left. I still felt like crap but I realized Darry wasn't there. I knew what I was about to do was stupid but I didn't care. I got up and felt dizzy but I didn't care. I made my way to my room and put on my uniform and called the dingo.

"Hello, this is the dingo how may  I serve you."

"Hey Holly it's Carmine I wanted to let you know im coming in today just late" Holly was my boss. Shes was in her late 30's early 40's. She's real nice considering she was a soc.

"Really, Carmine, you don't sound so great and your brother called in earlier to tell me not to be expecting you today."

"Yea well we need the cash and money is not gonna earn its..(cough)(cough)elf."

"Carmine sweetie I don't think you're well enough to come in today".

"Oh, cmon Holly, I promise the next time Im sick I'll stay home but I gotta come in today. The water bills coming in this month and I gotta help, please".

"Fine hurry up and get here then"

"Thank you so much, Holly".

"Whatever but id I think your too sick to be working im sending you home".

"Ok, thanks again." with that, I grabbed my skates and rode to work. To be honest my headache was ten times worse but I didn't care. My mom always told me if you really wanted something you had to work for it. I live by that.

Once I got to work Holly took one look at me and sighed.

"You sure you wanna be here today Curtis?" You ain't looking to good"

"Holly, I told you Im fine."

"Ok, smarty if you're so fine how about you go wait table seven."

"Fine." I was so congested but did I care no. I started to get to the table when I started searching for my notepad and pen in my apron.

"Hi, welcome to the dingo my name is Carmine how may I help yo..." I looked up at the customer only to see Darry".

"Yes, I'll take a side of what the hell are you doing here".

"Ummm..." How did you know I was here?"

"Your boss called me. I told me she was confused as to why you were coming in today when I called and told her you weren't coming in". Cmon im taking you home".

I usually would have argued with him but I knew I was already on the deep end and I was to tired to argue. We walked to the car and Darry began to give me one of his famous lectures. Or what I thought was a lecture. He seemed to be a lot less tense than when he's angry.

"Sweetie, we need to talk". Now I was real nervous. Darry only called me sweetie when he was nervous or felt sympathy towards me.

"You need to relax. Carmine your only 16 you have your life ahead of you. You spending all this time worrying about everybody isn't good for your health. And you working extra hours isn't good for anyone".

"Darry..."

"Carmine your my baby sister and I just don't want to see you get hurt. And you need to stop worrying and relax". My only concern right now is you getting better you understand."

"Yea Darry im sorry".

"You have nothing to be sorry about".

"Darry?"

"yea?"

"Am I grounded?" i was hoping he would say yes it wouldn't affect me. It would just be my normal routine.

"No, I know being grounded won't affect you. That's why you're staying home again and maybe even on Thursday".

"Darry that's worse than a grounding. And you cant stay home for that long".

"I can and I will. Besides, I have 5 vacation days from last year and 7 I haven't used from this year. As soon as we go inside Im taking your temperature and your going to sleep".

Fi(cough)ne. " And that's exactly what I did I fell asleep on the couch.
