"My first job was being a big sister and I take that really seriously"
- Venus Williams
It had been a few weeks since the whole cafeteria scene and my parents had been very understanding and proud that I had stood up for myself, it was actually funny how they had reacted. Everything at school was going smoothly and was slowly going back to normal...well..ignoring the glares of the King and Queen of the Underworld and the fact that the magic trio was more protective of us than never before.
Emma and I were currently at the shopping center just looking in American Eagle while talking animatedly about the latest news about both dance and cheer; practice was about to start in a week or so and we couldn't be happier. As co-captains we had to up our routines for the upcoming season and competitions.
"How about for the upcoming introductory rally we do a hip-hop choreography to elevate the tensions and then introduce each football player meanwhile they are being escorted by one girl from the team and at the end to introduce the Quarterback and Sub Q, we get the technical team to dim the lights and then we do stunts while they run out. " Emma says sighing dreamily while thinking about possible introductory ideas.
"I love how you think! I can just picture it..." I said happily, "We have to run it by the council and the football team and then start making up the moves!" I giggled while putting a denim jacket back in the rack.
As I was doing this, my phone blared loudly catching the attention of many clients in the store, smiling sheepishly I answered without looking at the ID.
"SISSYYYYY!" I hear a little fragile voice wail into the phone, with heavy sobs that continuously shatter my heart into a billion little pieces.
"Baby, what happened?" I ask, heading towards Emma and signaling to her that I had an emergency and needed to go, she quickly understood dropping the clothes into the racks and we hurriedly step out of the store running towards the parking lot.
"Mu-mummy a-and D-d-daddy had to wok, a girl wooking af-ter me..HUTTTT MEEEEE!"Benji wailed into the phone as I tuned it to the Bluetooth system and roaring the car to life.
Emma gasped and turned to me as I tensed, feeling myself transform into the overprotective mode even she feared, keeping her gaze on me as I struggled to control my heavy breathing.
"Baby, I'm on my way..hang on tight..I'm in the shopping center parking lot heading out. I'll try to be there in less than 10 minutes...where are you?" I said as nurturing as I could muster in order to not scare him but I could feel my Latina temper flaring at the thought of anyone hurting Benji.
"O-okay sissy..pwease hurryyy...I'm in my room..." Benji replied trying to calm himself.
"Baby distract yourself there or go into my room and watch TV...don't come out until Emma comes to get you okay?" I say and Emma nods at my answer.
