How To Save A Life

Prologue

Have you ever been so annoyed with someone that you're contemplating dropping them off on the side of the road? Even if you know they can't find their way home because it's only their second time leaving the house this month? Because I'm about there with my sister right now. I know it would be a terrible thing to do, but then I wouldn't have to drive her around anymore.I wouldn't have to make sure she takes her meds or listen to her incessant nagging about the speed limit being thrity when I'm going thirty five. Of course I would never do this, but I can't say the idea doesn't tempt me.

Maybe I should explain myself before you decide to nominate me for the Worst Sister Award. I'm curently driving my sister Mavis to her biweekly doctor appointment. The same biweekley doctor appointment she's been going to once every two weeks for the past three years. I've only recently earned the honor of being her personal cheauffer. I was handed the keys to my very own sister taxi two weeks ago when I finally passed my driving test, after four tries but that's irrelevant. What's important is that I get to spend quality time with my sister as I drive her to her four o'clock appointment. See my sister has this severe anxiety disorder and can't leave the house like normal people can. I don't really understand it, but basically the only time she leaves the house is for her appointments and even then it's by force. She's on three different meds for her anxiety, three different meds we have to force down her throat or hide in her food. it's not that she doesn't want to take them, she just can't swallow pills. I personally haven't noticed any improvement, but my mom swears they're working. She only thinks this cause she's not the one who has to help Mavis take them. That job, of course, was given to me. Along with all my other "sisterly duties , one of which is finding her a boyfriend.

Oh yes, according to my parents my sister needs to settle down soon and I'm the only one fit to find the lucky fellow. Where I'm supposed to find a twenty one year old boy who is willing to "settle down" with my mentally unstable sister, I dont know, but if I don't there is a likely chance that I might get my car taken away. What I didn't expect was to find him in the most obvious place there is, the doctor's office.
