Episode twenty eight
Sisters are for life
Becca can be seen playing golf in the small golf course at the front yard, a familiar call pulls over. Lizzy gets down, locks the car and walks into the house without glancing at Becca
Becca: Seriously? Hi sis, doesn't take anything from anybody! (Hits the ball with the club)
Why is she here? Shouldn't she be in class or something?
They are not even on break!
Or did something happen??
(Puts the club in a golf cart close to her and goes to meet her sister)
Becca: (Knocks on the door)
Lizzy: I thought the cleaners leave before noon!
Get out, I don't need any help!
Becca: It's not one of the cleaners, and yes they are gone.
It's me, Becca
(No response)
You came home today, unexpectedly
Lizzy: So? It's my home too, I can come whenever I want!
Becca: I mean, you don't have a break in school or something and you didn't even check if mom's at home, you just came straight to your room
Lizzy: Mom's home?
Becca: Well, she isn't at home.
Lizzy: Becca just leave
Becca: I am not leaving until you open this door and tell me what is wrong?
Did you get expelled or something?
Lizzy: I didn't get expelled! (Opens the door and goes to her bed, Becca enters and closes the door)
Becca: (sits close to her sister who covered her face with a pillow, takes the pillow away from her face and sees her crying)
You are crying…
Lizzy: (In a broken voice) I'm not crying, something entered my eyes….
Becca: Don't lie to me
What happened Liz, talk to me
Lizzy: (Bursts into tears and hugs her sister tight)
Becca: (Hugs her back and pats her) It will be alright, everything will be fine
Lizzy: How will it be fine? He used me!
He promised a lifetime with me but he…
Becca: (Surprised) Who?!
Lizzy: He told me that we would run away together to Vegas and have our own family there. He said that we would leave this town and our present life forever in the past.
He promised a lot of things!
Becca: Who is he?
Lizzy: He even slept with me and took my virginity…. just..just before he left! (Cries intensifies)
Becca: Oh no!
Who is that idiot! How dare he?!
(Holds Lizzy shoulders) Who is he? Tell me!
Lizzy: Jasper.
Becca: (Stands up) I will deal with him. (Begins to go out)
Lizzy: You won't meet him, he has gone back to Canada, his birth country
Becca: Tell me his address
Lizzy: I don't know where he lives. I just got to know that he left to Canada recently
Becca: (Goes back to the bed and holds her hands) Oh, Liz. I'm so sorry
Lizzy: You shouldn't be. it's my fault anyways
I trusted him blindly, I just thought I found my soulmate, a true friend, a confidant, everything in one.
But it was a lie!
Becca: Liz, you shouldn't blame yourself, it's love. You know, mischievous and dangerous.
You just got hit by it
Don't blame yourself
Lizzy: I feel empty, I feel like I'm nothing!
Becca: You are everything!
Beautiful, elegant, intelligent, mature, smart, everything Liz
Lizzy: You think I'm beautiful?
Becca: Hey, you don't get admirers every day on social media for nothing
Besides, TBH, I'm jealous of your beauty. Caramel skin, rich natural hair, light green eyes, top lips black and bottom lips pink. You are nothing but a beauty
Lizzy: Did I hear the J word?
Becca: Yea sis.
I did jealous you, still jealous of you
Your beauty, your elegance, the way you walk, the way you smile, even when you're angry and shout out of rage, you look like a goddess.
So smart, intelligent and brilliant. I study hard not because I want to or like studying, I aim for success because I want to be like you. I want to get into college like you.
I want to get many trophies and have a shelf Full of them like you. I work hard to achieve them
I have always looked up to you as a role model, as an idol to follow. (Lizzy looks on so surprised)
I am into golf, you know why? (Lizzy shakes her head negatively)
Because I want to be like you. When you did play golf then, when we were little, I promised myself to do the same.
You stopped playing golf years back but I got to love it so I didn't stop.
Lizzy: I can't believe this at all
Becca: (Smiles broadly) Because we argue all the time?
Lizzy: No.
I always thought you were my rival, I thought you just wanted to steal everything from me, I thought you wanted to erase my existence.
First you started playing golf and I stopped because you did. Then you started copying me, bought almost everything I bought, and had almost everything I had.
And then, you got into music and got so popular, got so financially secure and became mom's favorite. I thought you just wanted to exist and wanted me out of your life
That was why I even trusted Jasper and planned on leaving you and mom forever. And that is why I always sought attention and wanted to be the center of everything too.
I took it all as a challenge
Becca: I'm glad for two things, one is that we both know the truth about each other and also that you didn't run away from us.
Lizzy: This pain comes with a blessing, I get to know my sis for who she is.
Becca: Yeah, I guess.
But don't worry, we will get over this heartbreak together
Lizzy: So glad I got my sis back
Becca: I love you (hugs her)
Lizzy: I love you too (hugs her back)
Becca: Let's promise ourselves that we won't go back to being jealous and attention seekers
Lizzy: Promise
Becca: And also promise that you won't leave mom and I, ever
Lizzy: I promise
Let's also promise not to fight again
Becca: I promise
(Knock on the door, Becca and Lizzy look at each other)
Lizzy: Yes? Who's there?
Tabitha: It's mom.
Have you seen Becca? She's supposed to be practicing golf
Becca: I'm here mom. I will continue practicing soon. Good afternoon
Lizzy: Good afternoon mom
Tabitha: Open the door
Lizzy: It's not locked
Tabitha: (Comes in) You are both together, no fights???
Becca: Yes mom. Don't be too surprised
Lizzy: Becca and I now understand each other, no more differences between us
Tabitha: This is a dream come true.
(Sits with them) Tell Me, how did it happen
Becca: It's sisters secret
Tabitha: So because I'm your mom, doesn't make me a sister or into your secrets
Lizzy: No mom, it doesn't
Tabitha: (Laughs) I'm just glad you are both together, promise me you will remain together.
Becca and Lizzy: We promise
Tabitha: Always help each other and be each other's back bones. Sisters are for life.
Becca: We will never separate again
Lizzy: We are each other's half from henceforth
Tabitha: Come closer (They obey, she hugs them)
