Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 2

I stared at my phone and the ceiling many times, then I decided to put my phone on the side table then laid down on my bed. I stared at the ceiling for many minutes and looked at the side table, I was so confused if I should accept his friend's request or ignore it. I heard a notification on my phone and decided to ignore it then sleep. I felt someone shaking my shoulders "Sis wake up, we got to go down and eat dinner". I immediately opened my eyes because my sister is not fond of waking me up. We walk to the stairs and go down, as we heard voices talking in the living room, maybe my parents brought some visitors here. My sister and I were talking but then I froze when I saw who the visitor was, I felt my sister stopped and looked at the witch in front of us. I looked at my parents and tried to sign them. "The twins are here, let's eat dinner Lucie." my dad told my witch aunt. She smiled at us; can you believe that?! She fucking smiled at me! at us! The audacity! I immediately go to my mom's side and whispered, "What the hell is that witch doing here mom?" she looked at me and raised her eyebrows "Maisie, be respectful! That's your aunt, and your father invited her here to have dinner." I rolled my eyes and quietly followed them to the dining area, I looked at Jade and whispered, "If she says something to us, please know that I am not going to hold my mouth any longer, okay?" I warn her about things that might happen later because one word that comes from that witch's mouth and I'm going to explode like a volcano. She just nodded and we continue walking to the dining area. Our dinner started peacefully and somehow the witch's mouth is only talking to my dad. I'm almost done with my food when I heard witch Aunt Lucie called my name, I looked at her like I am ready to eat her. "I heard you enrolled for med school earlier! That's nice! You could run the hospital someday! That was a good choice. Unlike you Amity, you enrolled in law school? seriously?! You did not even think about how you're going to run the hospital or help the family?" I immediately stand up and were about to speak when Jade spoke "You have no right to tell me about the path that I am choosing. You're nothing." and she walked out, we were all shocked and the witch started yelling at my sister for being disrespectful. "You raised your daughter wrong! She's so disrespectful--" I cut her words "You're being disrespectful, You're the one who meddled with our lives as if you're the one who feeds us." and I left, I heard her shouting at the dining room, but I just went to my sister's room. I knocked... but she did not answer. I knocked many times, and she did not really answer me, so I open her door and saw her on her bed looking at the ceiling and trying to stop her tears. I laid down beside her and hugged her "Hey sis, you can cry... You can always cry." and she started crying as I comfort her. I don't know how long she's been crying but we both fell asleep in her room. Hugging each other.

I woke up with all the noise that's coming from downstairs, I immediately stand up and waked Jade up. Our eyes were heavy, and it hurts because of crying last night, but we managed to go down just to see my grandparents and my aunt shouting at my parents, I immediately went to my mom to ask what's happening and why are they here in the morning and shouting already. "You don't know how to handle your kids, Ethan! You did not raise them well!" my grandfather said. "I raised my kids well dad. I raised my kids as they are right now, and you're the one who can't control Lucie. She's been violating my kids since last night dad. They're my kids and I'm going to fight for them." my dad rebutted. They kept on fighting unit they were tired and decided to leave our house. We were so quiet until I decided to talk. "Hey, we talked last night and by we, I mean Jade and I talked last night and we decided to move out of the house and move in a condo." my dad looked at us and then said "Okay, I know that you found a condo for the both of you because you won't say this unless you planned." we both nodded and got my dad's approval, I prepared a long list as to why they should approve to us but they easily approved. " You want to bring the kinds of stuff in your rooms, or you want to buy new furniture?" my mom asked. "New, of course... We'll still go home, mom. We need those beds and pieces of stuff here." and they just nodded at us, we started to pack our clothes and kept ourselves occupied.

---

My parents were not the emotional type and my sister, and I are both independent, so we're not that much hooked up into moving out. We both decided to be separated. We both found a nice condo and decided to help each other in moving in, today is my schedule so we're going to my condo unit and Jade's going to help me unpack and arrange my things and she's sleeping here for tonight then it's her schedule tomorrow so I'm going to help her too. We were in her car and I thought that maybe I should get a new car "Hey sis, I should get a car. I mean, I don't have you around anymore to drive for me and we have a different schedule." she looked at me for a minute then nodded, that's how you know that she's thinking. She looks at you for a minute like she's analyzing you and your decision.

---

We finished unpacking my stuff and are ready to go to sleep. "I'm going to miss you. We need to see each other every Friday and weekends and sleep in each other's unit okay?" Jade said and I nodded. I hugged her and we both sleep. In the morning we both took a bath and went to the mall to buy groceries for Jade's unit. We went straight to her unit then clean and fixed some of her kinds of stuff and arranged it, we finished at exactly 7 pm and decided to order food. I also decided to go home tonight and sleep at my unit, I should prepare myself to be accustomed with myself and without my sister. After we ate, I decided to go home because it was 9 already although my unit was not far from Jade's I decided to go home early. I booked a car earlier and it's in the lobby already. I went into the elevator and I was shocked to see Dylan there. "Hey! What are you doing here?" he asked me. "I helped my sister move into her new apartment. You?" I smiled and asked as I was waiting for the elevator to reach the lobby "Oh, I live here." he said.
