Happiness Doesn't Wait

Abi

I'm so happy the weekend is finally here. I swear. I've been so exhausted for no reason lately. But at some point my body would take revenge of all the hours of nonstop work I've put in.

I bailed on Cam again but this was because I fell asleep on accident on Friday. But at least he got it this time.

My sister has been busier than ever, but she's been odd. She quietly observes me more than usual and she just steps out of the house with a thoughtful face. I asked the other day if this was because of Mister Harry and she avoided the question. It's totally because of her lover boy.

But now I find myself checking up on Blake. He should be at work right now, but he took a whole day off. I gave him a proud thumbs up and he smiled back at me with pride for his choices.

But I finish up talking with him and my stomach acts up again. A loud growl comes from my belly and I quickly get off my bed to get to the kitchen. When I enter, I jump to see my sister reading a book at the small couch near the dining table.

"Woah there," I say with a smile. "Don't scare me like that!"

"You don't work today?" she says without looking up from her book.

"No. I asked for a day off."

"Why?" This time she looks up from her book and fixes her glasses. She's giving me that look she's been giving me lately. I shrug and say, "I needed a break I guess."

"Mmm." She puts her book to the side and says, "What are you doing?"

"I'm getting something to eat," I say. "Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated?"

Anger starts up in my veins but I calm it down as Amy shakes her head. "No. I'm just asking. Go ahead. I don't want to stop you."

"Okayy..." I'd start to bother her about her suspicious attitude, but my stomach reminds me that I need to feed it. So I open my fridge and look through it. My mouth waters at just the sight of food and it's so hard to choose.

Finally, my eyes shine at the sight of cheese and olives. I take these out and look for crackers somewhere in the kitchen. Frustration starts within me when I can't find any.

"Hey Amy?" I say as I look through a cupboard.

"Mhm?"

"We got crackers last time we went to groceries, right? Where is it?!"

"To your right." I go to my right and my heart jumps with joy at the sight of a large box of salty crackers.

"Thank you!" I say to her with a happy smile and start to make my snack. My stomach yearning to have this creation already.

I finally finish up one cracker with cheese and a piece of olive, and take a bite of it. I moan in satisfaction and close my eyes at the feeling of food in my mouth. I look over at my sister and she still watches me quietly. I smile at her and gesture at my creation. "Do you want some?"

"No thank you."

I shrug at her and smirk. "More for me." I continue to eat and take milk to serve myself a cup of it.

"Abigail?"

Abigail? I must've done something wrong again.

I slowly look at her and fear falls onto me. When Amy gets mad....I run.

"Um...yeah? Did I do something wrong? Whatever it is, I did not do it! It was Alana's idea!"

I expect for her to laugh like she usually does when I do these kinds of tease. But she stays serious as she crosses her arms on her chest. Now I'm really scared.
