***We are sisters by chance, friend by choice. We are like leaves from the same branch, joined by heart. ***

It is still early Teila thinks, she doesn't feel like waking up yet! But then she remembers, when is it ever about what she wants? It could've been that way 10 years ago but time changes.

Nevertheless she still had hope that even though she won't get back everything she lost, she can at least work hard and make her sister happy so that she wouldn't miss their parent much.

She knew that after her decision 8years ago, it wasn't about what she wanted anymore, but what they needed to survive and what was best for her baby sister's future.

TERA PoV

Arrrg! I feel tired and weak. This week has been the busiest one ever.I drag myself out of bed, yawning like crazy🥱 , and with my eyes still shut, my feet find their way under the bed to drag my sleeper out.

After I put the slippers on, I went on my knees, elbows on my bed, I said a quick morning prayer. It wasn't supposed to be a quick one but I felt an urgent need to pee. lol. Nature calls! Sorry dear God!

As fast as I said amen, I rush into the bathroom, emptied my bladder, and brush my teeth , took my bath Right after that, and all that in 5min! I know it may seem like enough time for some people but it wasn't to me. After yesterday, i needed a long bath in a tub but i didn't have that much time, or a tub for that matter, so I just showered.

I got out of the shower and glanced at the bed. My baby sister was still sleeping. I wish I didn't have to wake her up but what choice do I have?

There's two of us and one car, her school is quite far too. She usually goes by bus but she has just injured her foot last week and it didn't recover properly yet.

She needed to walk at least 10 minutes from our apartment to the bus stop and since she was still limping a bit, I don't have the heart to let her go by herself so I have been dropping and picking her up to school this past week.

"sweety? " I called while taking her feet out of the comforter. but she tucks them back in as quickly as I took them out.

" Get up Ella, it's almost time. " I said. This time, I pull out the comforter entirely off of her. But she just raised her knees up, take a fetal position while making a growling sound, pretending to be at sleep!

"come on, wake-up baby or we'll both be late," I said trying to negotiate with Miss sleepyhead while trying to pick my Louboutin handbag and shoes from the top cabinet of my closet! that's my only branded anything left.

It only comes out on a very, very important occasion, and I needed that for today since I had to attend a high-class meeting and then a potential employer after that, I had to match up the dress code.

''😴 grrrrrrrrrr " Ella snored, pretending to be asleep.

As soon as I picked up my bag and shoebox, and I bang the cupboard door closed. I knew that the only thing that my dear sister loved the more than sleeping is food. So I took my chance.

'' Well nevermind, you can still sleep for 30 minutes more but you're going to have to skip breakfast then,''

''😲 Hein? what do you mean by skipping breakfast? aren't you hungry? Didn't you say that you'll be cooking breakfast for both of us? come on big sister! it's not good for a woman to go back on her word."

<< 😕 weren't you supposed to be sleepy? or at least pretending to be. lol. I knew this girl was foody but to this point? Really?>>

'' ah, aren't you supposed to be sleepy?'' I asked her, pretending to be confused. '' lol, wake up now and go take your bath or we're both going to be in big trouble." I said.
