AMERICA EDEVANE
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCqanGPdW
I was lying comfortably in the garden while reading my favorite book, I would never get tired of reading it and even more so if it was in a place like this. The sky was clear and cloudless, a breeze shook my hair making the curls collide with my skin, thanks to my dress I felt the heat of the approaching summer on my skin.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1N76chdCl
Today was a great day, I wanted to forget that I will be alone for a month since my brother was going on vacation with his now pregnant wife. This is my last day of being a normal teenager and not showing my adult side.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMrxlQia2e
I was enjoying it until I noticed them sitting next to me and touching my leg. I get up slowly and see my girlfriend Emily. Every time I look at her I can't help but see her black eyes and her beautiful pistachio green curly hair which she always wears tied up, she's great.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRjN0Cw6X
She smiles at me, my other two friends also arrive, more like the only ones since I'm not very sociable so to speak...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfm3sbVuCw
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLdBfVuVYF
They all sit next to me and we start talking for a while, after a while Emily gets up receiving a call, we all look at her for a moment while she gets up.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjwjWu86v
-Emily: Honey, it's an important call...I'll be right back.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAdWmbNRI4
She says and then leaves talking on the phone.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HBEQfTZS
-Tae: Your girlfriend is very pretty...take good care of her America.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkAp9J9FLo
"I don't know if that was a compliment or a threat..."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8rR0ofdQB
-America: Yes...I already do it, I'm very happy to be with her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6caTCItR2
Tae gives me a smile but he seems to have some anger, then he puts his hands firmly on the grass and smiles looking at me happily, it seems like he had a great idea, Ivy looks at him strangely.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJnapq766
-Tae: We could have a party at your house, you know to celebrate Ivy's birthday.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0uviNX4s8
Ivy looks doubtful, we literally celebrated it a day ago, I sigh as I settle into my seat.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1KoOLRVoF
-America: I don't think it's a good idea...my brother is still at home, he won't leave until tomorrow and I don't want to get into trouble before I'm alone. Besides, he is very excited about this vacation and I don't want to bother him...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0DZOJJ110
Tae rolls his eyes, he must be thinking that I'm boring or something... but he doesn't understand how much I want my brother to enjoy himself, since my mother abandoned us he couldn't do it, he had to take care of me and I feel guilty. That's why...that's why I want him to have a good time now.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBDpUZWpM1
-Tae: But it's not the first time we've done it...I don't think he'll get angry now, he never did.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHt1fN2sR
Tae insists, Ivy looks at him angrily...she hates that he insists so much, she looks at him angrily and Tae seems to notice it since she turns around looking at him with doubt.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4IjeoC7cx
-Ivy: America said no and that's it, don't be so tiresome... we already celebrated my birthday, I don't see the need to celebrate again...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbodMpXi5lM
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hh2nNxPZ
Tae looks at the grass somewhat angry, it seems that he was excited...there is an awkward silence until Emily appears again putting away her phone, she is looking at us smiling.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cXM9zgQS2
-Emily: Well, what do you mean?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyaR9oQY7J
Before I finish, my phone starts ringing, my ringtone is a kitten sound (I'm literally obsessed) I pick up the phone quickly when I see that the caller is my brother, the others just pay attention quietly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3PMPZt9pk
-America: Brother! Something happened..?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KCEWOv5Dt
I say worried although it is normal for him to call me, he always does it because he cares about me....although it is often tiring but oh well.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIPHnnVsQe
-Luke: Meri I need you to come home now, I have something to tell you.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMOHxtflpC
This one doesn't seem serious so I calm down, it's probably something about the trip or something.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJasoB2M9w4
-America: Okay, now I'm going, Emily has to take me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU7iIsCXJk
I hang up the phone and get up, the others follow me with their eyes.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OgZW8UWKo
-Ivy: Did something happen...?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y0Curvloo
She asks a little worried, Ivy always worries about me...she is the best friend I can have.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGsHoHqfab
America: Nothing serious, my brother needs me to come home.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR121SVvPq
Emily pulls out the key in one motion and turns it around with her finger.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRRD4YcoK
-Emily: I guess I have to be a taxi.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK5N7fOlNI
Ivy gets up and gives me a hug, when we say goodbye we always give each other one...it's tradition. Tae simply waves goodbye, after saying goodbye we go to the car and I get in, Emily starts the car and begins the trip, she looks at me from time to time.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL7292MSQH
-Emily: Well...from tomorrow you have the house alone, that means I'm more welcome.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWReTvE4Hja
I look at Emily, I know what she means...you could say that my brother doesn't like Em very much.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpKYPZqql1
-America: You can always come, you are my girlfriend...my brother can give his opinion but if I want you to come you can...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FScmSLd8
She just looks straight ahead, I turn my gaze to the window. The truth is that I understand my brother...Emily was in a juvenile center and he thinks she is still the same, he fears that she will hurt me...but I believe that she changed for the better and that over time he will give her a chance .
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIhYVo8sRU
The rest of the way was spent in silence, neither of them had anything to say. When we arrive, I get out of the car accompanied by Emily and open the door and enter. As soon as I enter, my brother is standing with his arms crossed.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLZQE9DUyK
-America: Hello brother...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlKxR4ySq
He watches Emily enter, he stands next to me and looks at my brother.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvNyRFXfjC
-Emily: Hello Hello...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBinnhaVvtp
My brother rolls his eyes disapprovingly, you can tell he doesn't like her. He walks towards her and takes her arm, Em is surprised as she takes him to the door and opens it, taking her outside.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36nP0c3rjv
-Luke: I need to talk to my sister, go home.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMxkWa0OPG
Em is going to say something but my brother closes the door and comes back in front of me, honestly that seemed kind of rude on his part.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4PcCrOOc
-America: What's happening?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oirUPq6LL
He sighs and smiles, at least I know it's nothing bad.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4SoQvF1LT
-Luke: Well...as you know, tomorrow I'm going on a month's vacation with Noah...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlYI1IJad
He nodded, I don't know what he's getting at with that.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt5ebBR4uw
-Luke: Well...since I don't like you being alone for so long I...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlnZiN1jP
He moves his hands a little nervously, I'm starting to get a little nervous. Now what the hell did he do?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FE8rgKBrW
-America: You...?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KOtr8o7V6
Luke sighs and looks at me as if to say "please don't be mad at me."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXCJk42SWy
-Luke: I...invited a friend of mine to stay during the month I'm not here to take care of you...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IeLD8Ty9A
My eyes widen, maybe he doesn't trust me... I'm old enough to take care of myself, I mean I'm already 18 years old... I'm in my second year of high school, I'm not a stupid girl.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1mcxAQGHO
-America: WHAT! But...I know how to take care of myself, it's not fair...I don't need a babysitter at all.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwo9oWLWBu
Luke gently takes my shoulders and looks at me smiling.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4smj4OhTCa
-Luke: She's not a babysitter, you better think she's a friend...when you were little you played with her and you got along well, she's not just anyone...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouhfcT5K0X
I look at the ground, I thought that for once I would trust myself enough to be alone, plus I don't like the idea of spending a month with someone I don't even remember.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLXM4QKrTd
-Luke: Her name is Arlet, you surely remember her...she is very excited to be with you.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sLHFjR5Tg
I distance myself from my brother.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubrdjGYCio
-America: I remember something, but it still doesn't seem fair to me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v92WXl8pP
Noah arrives with her beautiful pregnant belly and hugs my brother, I just smile...the truth is they look very cute together.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar7ZYwot1D
Noah: Honey, we have to go finish preparing things for the trip...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnSwHoHwio
Luke smiles and takes Noah's hand.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS561EQL66X
-Luke: Tonight She will come to dinner and so you can get to know each other before being alone, you can't miss Meri...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WnfEfvDIC
-America: But- I had met my friends to go out today...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIub0x9VyxT
Noah and Luke look at each other for a moment, then they both look at me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVpN7fZq0o
-Luke: Well, plans changed for you, I'm sorry Meri but I want you to be comfortable with her before we leave. I'll call you when it's time for dinner.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7xVHcFmYF
After saying that, the two leave the house, I watch them leave and then sigh to go up to my room and lie down on the bed, then I take out my phone and write in the messaging group I have with my friends and girlfriend.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zFeJ2uJrT
-Message: Guys, in the end I can't go to the party tonight...I have some business, another day 💗
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMbXL8DuU
Then he turned off the phone and left it on the table to look at the ceiling.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotwHu9HMFQ
"Great...now I'll have a babysitter at home..."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGql2DUrsyd
LATER
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6WmfR0n4Q
I hear the door open and I sit down suddenly on the bed, I see that it is Noah who enters with a smile, the truth is that she is very good... I am glad that my brother and her are starting a family.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPrL7N0rAh
-Noah: Meri has arrived Arlet, your brother wants you to talk to her while we finish dinner.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqcR0hP7p4
He looks me up and down.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlqKE1Uyut
-Noah: Hurry up and put on clothes...I don't think you want to talk to her in your pijama.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpAltzlCVX
-America: Now, now! Just give me a minute.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdmJCiqpaf
She smiles and leaves the room, I go to my closet and take out the first thing I see, I put it on quickly and clumsily while I look at myself in the mirror.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5H1d20Ot
"Well...I guess it helps"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQcpdAFdr
I would have an orange top and black jeans with long ends, as well as white socks since I didn't have time to put on shoes.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8mkpL2Saw
I sigh and leave the room, walking down the hallway towards the living room where voices can be heard talking. I won't deny that I have some nerves.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BWcVa7caH
When I arrived I saw my brother next to a girl who was too tall, with long straight white hair, her eyes were beautiful black like Emily's. I stare at her stupidly, she looks at me strangely (normal since I look crazy looking at her like that) my brother puts a hand on my shoulder, breaking me out of the trance, I quickly look away from her face with some embarrassment for looking at her like that.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiusRtmF0ew
-Luke: Meri, this is Arlet, I hope they can be as good friends as when you were little. I trust that she will take good care of you and I know you will too.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHcCGVInVy
Arlet crouches down to look me in the eyes and smiles sweetly, the truth is that it seems to me to be a somewhat false smile for my taste.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDNFnH52U
-Arlet: America! I haven't seen you in a long time...I'm glad to be able to see you again...I still remember when we played moms and dads, every time I came to see you I gave you a stuffed animal.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYpNyMBqvz
My God, what a shame, she looks like my mother... I don't like her at all, I don't even remember much about her...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs1qXX22sm
-Noah: Honey, I need your help for a moment..
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9JGFiNLwz
Noah is heard shouting from the kitchen, my brother goes towards the hallway.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5kVI6DFea
-Luke: Girls...talk to each other, I'm coming.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKaCSSdiv
He says and then leaves the room, I turn around a little uncomfortable and look at Arlet, she seems happy... the truth is that it makes me quite uncomfortable.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn21meR9AB6
-America: You know, I'm not a girl like I used to be...the thing about dolls and talking nice doesn't work for me anymore.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFhQcPqZxH
-Arlet: What character does the lady have? You were cuter as a child, you know...How old are you?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW7rrzctuC
I cross my arms a little angry. Who does this girl think she is? I definitely don't like her at all...this month will be very long.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM62iaRwZMg
-America: I'm 18, I told you I'm not a child...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84o5atHrig
Arlet lies mild, this makes me angrier...does my age make me laugh so much?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP2EyNHHSd
-America: How many do you have?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEBPgmMSeE
-Arlet: I am 24.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3HqoPJLEl
-America: But I'm 18, I don't understand what you're laughing at if I'm legally an adult.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcWFupnemJ
He is smiling sideways.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasoad1fV80
-Arlet: It's not the same, it shows from afar that you still have a lot to learn...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1i18nTKW
-America: Well, I don't need to learn anything from you, so you better tell my brother that you're passing by and that way I can be at peace.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9JpYIBBK
She smiles more, it really makes me angry.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCVTDoAda4
-Arlet: I can't do that, I care a lot about your brother and I owe him this and more, besides...that way I won't be bored for a whole month.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpghLeqPBAi
This girl really drives me crazy, I swear I will do everything possible to make her leave me alone...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRUF0KxV3t
Before I can answer, my brother's voice is heard calling us to eat. Arlet bows to me as if to say 'ladies first'. I move away and stand behind her, looking at her badly. She smiles and walks before me towards the kitchen. .
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNqQVnxkcO
We each sit in our places, since Arlet doesn't sit next to me, she smiles at me...ugg...it bothers me too much. I look away and start eating dinner.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmF7sQYGEJ
-Luke: Thank you very much Arlet, I am very happy that the two of you can be together again, it will surely be like a few years ago.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjZvBlqre
-Arlet: Don't give them, it's no bother to me...quite the opposite...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jktbdYNw2
She says while looking at me with a smile, She's probably doing it on purpose to annoy me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7UZ8d7hso
-Arlet: Mmm, this is very good.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeg3zmjwEm
She says, trying the dish, I look at her...the truth is that my brother is not the best cook, she surely does it to look good.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCqZ38yeQi
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXfV9PLTFh
-Luke: Oh, thank you very much although it was better than Ariel's.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV6eUMTZ8W
My brother covers his mouth quickly, it seems he named something he shouldn't have.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvpZawYQHO
-Luke: I'm sorry...I didn't want to remind you of Ariel...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ItzmDNYj
"Ariel...? Could it be some family member or something that she doesn't get along with?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYXwFLKyf
-America: Ariel...? Like the little mermaid.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0VcidBfZ7
-Arlet: Yes...she is my ex-girlfriend and the truth is that the name suits her a lot...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ5PvqBrcW
-America: Is she redhead?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7sXLsiSQp
I say curious, my brother looks at me with a bad face and Arlet just smiles.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI4GA506TQ
-Luke: Meri...don't be so curious...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24YQNzZqj
-Arlet: No, no... I don't mind telling it. Basically she was a beach lover and I always took her to The beach, we had some kind of friends there. One day I caught her cheating on me with one on the shore.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhy9nLkPgn
I'm amazed, what a bitch Ariel...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvt8gl47U7
-America: Well, what a son of a bitch...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01bmRSBcx9
-Luke: Meri! Do not say those things.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhVVvTUtrJ
Arlet laughs.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVssHIhRpt3
-Arlet: Don't worry, she's right... yes, before you didn't have such a loose mouth...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElknBrRL3L
I roll my eyes, we are already with before... people change male.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgwzSviyR
-Arlet: I'm curious...you used to have very long hair and you never wanted to cut it...but it seems like you did.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TCvydANe7
She touched my medium length brown hair, it's true that I wanted long hair before...but I guess I prefer not to be overheated or have to keep it too long.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kreei3jc4
-America: Well...and before I remember you didn't have white hair, we both changed so...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1L6mIBnyh
She smiles and continues eating.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIk6kuFPS
-Luke: What's happening to you is that since you've been with that Emily you try to be her type completely... you should be yourself and not change for people like that...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyXcmFjiRq
Arlet opens her eyes in surprise.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX0y3XwXUk
-Arlet: So you have a girlfriend...I didn't expect that.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxV7Agwg0f
Sigh, because he has to name Em now.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgAAuHX6vD
-America: I told you a thousand times that it's not because of her... it's really because I like it that way...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNYwjNhyJ
Before my brother can say anything my phone starts ringing.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhQHZiYbSj
"Shit it's Emily..."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzb3GonDS8
I get up from the chair quickly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GRCzMxJx5
-America: Now I'm coming...I swear I won't be late.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx6DrqDBhQ
I leave the room quickly to the hallway, Arlet and my brother stay talking.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNDfOyj6xb
-America: Um...is something wrong? I'm very busy right now...I already said I have dinner with my brother and a friend.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQ1JhAh20
-Emily: You can't not come Mer...we've been waiting for this party for weeks and we had everything planned.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZZho4tlF
-America: And what do I do...I can't just leave...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBW0QqQmxc
-Emily: Try to escape or something when they are less attentive...you don't think about something but I need you here...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwOVIzNSLO
-America: Well...I'll try.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTOpG1bYb8
-Arlet: Nothing small about that.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCbzKlQoEh
I hang up the call quickly, my heart is pounding...because shit she's so gossipy.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMavcVqk06
-America: You could respect privacy you know...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6T5ejXM5D
She approaches with her arms crossed.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfKtjdugiF
-Arlet: It just so happens that I wanted to go to the bathroom and you were in the way, you know...I had no choice...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAv7iz7FiJ
What a bad excuse... like this, the whole month ended up in a cave.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4wJOXfCN
-America: Well...we can reach an agreement, okay?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrgOyI6cuw
She raises an eyebrow and waits for me to talk about this one.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CcP212tmG
-America: If I go out to the party, you can come with me...you have a bitter face, I'm sure it will be good for you, yes?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3XvoooQ1P
She looks at me something serious, I don't think she was convinced.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygoRq3LhFS
-Arlet: ...No...forget about going out...don't bother your brother tonight with youth nonsense...he has to get up early tomorrow.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqlF5uNe5b
Aggg she really looks like an old woman...so boring.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9l8Yiqcsh
-America: You know...you are not my mother, you can't force me to stay...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhMDKF68al
She crossed her arms and looked me in my eyes seriously.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTbCoRW2t9
-Arlet: I'm taking care of you all month...I'm not going to let you do anything stupid while I'm a kid.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0RZvPohLO
-America: How heavy! Don't tell me little one, I'm 18 years old...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuuZURnKpG
-Arlet: 18 years old and you plan to run away from home to go to a party...wow, how old...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPUhbOE9O
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwRTzIoBPb
My brother shows up and thank goodness... I was already starting to get nervous.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLxC7Aa4Hr
-Luke: Here you are...I'm going to sleep, Meri, show Arlet her room, okay?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0xuTwWWT
I snort, the truth is I don't feel like anything...I just want to go to sleep once and for all and for it to be tomorrow or better yet the day my brother returns...although he hasn't even left yet...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O4tKZYzKF
-America: Okay...rest brother...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cfVTmZvqE
I tell him with a smile, he comes over and gives me a small hug.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh6ArzGq86
-Luke: You too...don't sleep late...see you tomorrow Meri...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzg3TuZH5y
After saying this he goes to his room, Arlet looks at me smiling. I turn around with a bad face and start walking towards her room, she is following me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ceK38c04T
When we arrive I open the door and she looks at her from top to bottom, she seems to like it, she sits on the bed and I stand in front of her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMNKDa1nN
-Arlet: Now you are at my level...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqs3PB6CY
-America: God...fuck you..

I say trying to leave but she grabs my arm, I stay where I was.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcAG3bBeOc
-Arlet: It was just a joke...Hey...Do you remember the lady on the corner?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKgBFUy438
Wow...it's been a long time since I remembered that day...when I remember, a small smile escapes me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIABvFEjiC9
-Arlet: When the lady came out with her entire face covered in chocolate because of us...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2z3T9HtZK
-America: I remember, I'm not going to deny that it was fun...what a shame that now you're bitter and boring.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HQ3BtIReP
She is smiling slightly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTUGxmfvd
-Arlet: I'm not boring...just because I don't let you out doesn't mean I am...you'll see that you'll have a good time and everything.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodTpm64uL
-America: Now...well...I'm going to sleep.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZScNMVAsC
I move away from her and open the door ready to leave.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KNjvpeQF
-Arlet: Rest little one...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmRiOX33e1
She says in a mocking tone, before leaving completely I give her the finger, she smiles. I walk to my room and put on my pijama from before, then I get on my bed and start reading the book from before, I always do it before going to sleep...reading relaxes me a lot.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJhYhKRuM
The alarm clock that starts my day rings, I wake up and take my book that is on my chest since I fell asleep with it. I put it on and look for my clothes for today in the closet, I put on a red top and a black skirt, as well as a black vest and my beautiful black boots with some platform. Ready and with some makeup on, I go out through the hallway towards the kitchen.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89dATenP8
I start to hear noises, maybe it's Arlet or my brother...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa900Nq7HM0
I look out the door and see a person with his back turned, I don't recognize him, I hid immediately.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipO7HyAsgo
"Who is it? Could it be a thief or something...I have to do something..."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfgw6pBvJK
I run to the big closet where we keep random things and grab a baseball bat from when my brother played. Then I slowly walk towards this person with the bat ready.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQkk8vXFxa
-America: Get down, thief!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgJSnAcOsF
The boy turns around scared and crouches down, covering his head so that it doesn't hurt him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcezsYis3V
-???: I'm not a thief I swear!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjgUTcQUVO
He says a little scared, I lower the bat, I don't know but I believe him...the truth is he seems harmless. He gets up, still trembling, and extends his hand to me. I look at him strangely but take it.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOQ3oCTkn4
- Ahlem: I am Ahlem Estevez Sorokin, Arlet's brother..
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93HDr8mJb
Now I understand everything...but wait...are they going to take over my house? The only thing missing is grandma here.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42QgMmZ1JW
-America: And what are you doing in my house? Are you going to stay too?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorOUENz8mC
He shakes his head somewhat embarrassed.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaX3l2BaLY
-Ahlem: Not at all, I'm only here because I'm his assistant too...we have our company and we sell cars...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1PgvB2LUG
-America: Damn, you scared me a lot...I almost killed you and everything...I thought you were a thief...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosehoEGvYp
-Ahlem: I'm really sorry...Can I do something to fix it?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0qU0TDMKg
This boy seems very good, maybe it would be good for me to ask him to tell me something about Arlet...for example how she met my brother...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbM6iN1yDw
-America: Well...if you tell me the story of how Arlet met my brother...I would honestly forgive you.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYBUDMlypJ
He states and clears his throat, it seems that he has no problem telling it.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB02UfmnDuI

"I need this food...my brother is hungry and so am I...mom has no money left...she spends it on alcohol...I have to do it, I'm sorry"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZr2f9maK1
After running for a while I stopped in an alley, it seems that I lost that man. I notice a presence of someone there and I turn, I can see a shadow of someone but I don't stay for long as I start running towards my 'house'.

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3bDGzHWw
When I get home I see my mother lying on the couch drunk as always, at least she is unconscious and can't hit us.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYsZNhrCNf
I go to my brother, he is at the back door of the house, basically on the street. He is drawing in the mud, I approach and show him the bag of food, he smiles.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEYZRQUAc
When my brother is eating a boy approaches me, I look at him strangely. What does he want? He will be one of mom's boys...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ctmV66Lq
-Luke: Don't be scared...I'm the one from the alley, I followed you and saw the conditions you live in, I could help you...oh yes...I'm Luke by the way.

PRESENT
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxWHt23VS5
-Ahlem: And from that day...your brother brought us food until my sister turned 18 and we got ahead, leaving our mother...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMRhVD7xJ
I look surprised, I didn't expect it to be something so sad...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2PccsWQ62
-Arlet: What are you doing with a bat...?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrLG2hNz4
I turn quickly and drop the bat on the ground, I didn't expect her to be back there...I hope she won't hear much...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xc4tcBM6g
-Ahlem: Oh...well I was telling him how to-
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUOK19LnVK
I covered his mouth quickly, I don't want her to think that I care about his life or anything.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3hfDvlDl3
-America: I thought he was a thief because of the bat...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIF2DXGWsw
She looks at me strangely but then her face changes again.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1wQaGRQKn
-Arlet: Your brother is leaving, he came for you to say goodbye.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAE8yAVbYJ
I listen to her and go next to her, waving goodbye to her brother, who also says goodbye.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ1SEjPOJ2
When we get outside my brother is waiting leaning on the car, Noah is already inside waiting to leave. I go up to my brother and give him a big hug.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHUMgS8naq
-Luke: Be good Meri...and have a good time too...remember not to miss me too much.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafto3Tan3I
-America: That's impossible...I'll call you every night...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3YlQuEdHe
He smiles and looks at Arlet.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DelHDlgPk
-Luke: I trust you Arlet...have a good time.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiHhCl9LN7
Then he gets into the car, he says goodbye to me from inside just like Noah, I do the same and so does Arlet. Then it starts and they leave, leaving us there alone.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7bH7TQrhf
I turn around looking at Arlet, she is smiling at me....from now until the end of the month...my life will be very different...
