The Richardsons

Video #46

"I've been texting Cassie about all sorts of questions lately that i'm surprised that I haven't annoyed her yet, but I guess she can finally tell somebody about all of the relationship advice she gathered over the years. She could definitely be a relationship therapist because she doesn't just say something a 5 year old can say. Oh no, she will go off on why you should break things up with you boyfriend IMMEDIATELY because, oh she knows."

"KAT! YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING ON A RUN WITH ME!"

"JEEZ ALEXA, GIVE ME A MINUTE, I NEED TO GET CHANGED."

I forgot to mention that I am going on a run with Alexa, I was forced of course.  What a way to spend my Saturday morning. I quickly changed into some running attire and found Alexa right by my door.

"Why is it whenever I have to do something that you have to make your stupid videos of you ranting for 50 words or more?"

"Why are you counting the number of words that I say?"

"Because you talk so loud and it gets annoying over a period of time."

I rolled my eyes. The thing is that Alexa doesn't think that I'm just ranting to a camera and she probably thinks that i am insane. Well..... she is worse. However, she talks to herself by pretending to be on the phone with somebody. The handful of times that we spent together sleeping in the same room, I could see her looking in the vanity with the phone to her with bizarre conversations.

She dragged me downstairs and she started to run.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Catch me you hobo!"

My older sister calls me a hobo because she thinks that I look like one. At first, I got so mad and started crying when she started saying that to me, but I got used to it. Alexa will try and put you down, but you can't let her win. She is an 18 year old with the mentality of a 14 year old that claims that she's the peak of the world.

Alexa is also very athletic and can do whatever she wants until she feels like it. Also known as the stamina of a god. Which I can't complain about. She seems lie the girl that everybody wants to be, until you meet her in person.

As I'm running, I notice that Alexa has a bruise on her right arm.

"What happened?" I asked Alexa.

"Why are you even looking at that! Shit! I forgot to cover that with makeup. It's none of your business."

"But, what happened? I'm your little sister, we are family."

"Look, I was working out too hard and i hurt myself.  It's nothing to worry about. Us girls get injured and we get bruises when you never know."

Something about that seemed suspicious.

"Is everything ok?"

"Why wouldn't it be? I love my life and it's fine."

"what about with Chance? Are you and Chance ok?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't we be? Don't you have a boyfriend or something? Why are you asking me these questions? Do you have to be in my business or something? You're not mom or dad."

"If something's going on, then why aren't you telling me? Please, i am worried now."

"You don't need to worry. This is why you, mom, and dad are so stupid. Because you guys have to be in my business."

"We are family. We worry sick about each other. It's what we do."

"You're too immature to know what is going on."

"I am 15, you are 18. I'm old enough to know about these kinds of things!"

Alexa looked back at me as if she was about to cry.

"This is something that you should never think about again, got it? You cannot think about this again! This is personal business and this is confidential. Only between me. I hate talking about my problems to others. Yeah, you're my little sister, but it's my choice whether i tell you things or not. And, i'm not telling. So, stop thinking about it and think about something else."

But that only made me think about it more. And for the first time, I started to get stressed over it.

What was Chance doing to her? Or, is she relapsing and hurting herself again?
