Chapter 2

That night I  couldn't sleep. I turned and tossed on the bed. I felt terrible about fighting with my sister.

At breakfast, it was kind of awkward.  My only conclusion was that mum and dad heard our arguments.

It hurts me to see them so sad and hurt like this.  But mum and dad were trying to hide it which they are failing miserably, especially our mum Abigail.

I couldn't stand the silence anymore, so I  tried starting conservation.

Mum, did you make breakfast yourself today . I begun, but she did not reply. She was playing with her pancakes. Which I know she prepared it herself.

The silence is like little glasses piercing through my fragile heart. She has used her long black her as a window to block my view.

Her eyes have been cast down. She knew when I look into her eyes, and I will know what wrong.  Just the same way she knows what bothering me by looking at me in the eye.

Now I believe the saying that goes like the eyes is the window to the soul, tell me you do believe in it.

Mum say something, I stretched my hands to touch her, but she removed it from the table and placed it on her laps.

Mums actions hurt me, but I kept quiet as I ate my breakfast.

The tension was heavy and thick in the air. Dad hasn't altered a word since we sat down for breakfast.

" why does she hate me so much?" Mum asked no one in particular. Unsheared tears shining in her almond shaped brown eyes.

I dropped my folk when she hiccupped trying to stifle the sound with the napkin but to no avail.

"Mum, she doesn't hate you.  I think she wasn't happy when you kept that secret from us, but she doesn't hate you. "

"She is hurting but give her time mum, and she will come around again." I hugged mum as she nodded her head in agreement.  Dad gave her a gentle squeeze of the hand.

"I'm home guys," Emily announced in her so friendly manner.  She pecked mum and I and hugged dad from behind.

That like so unusual of her to do so, imagine the looks on our face. Mum's own is priceless as for dad it like he has seen a zombie eating a baby's brain to know the cause of death.

" Common guys it Emily nobody missed me. Not even you, sissy." She turned to me in her brightest smile.

"Mum and Dad, I have great news to share with you. Have a seat Emery will you." Emily said as she brushed her Blond hair behind her ears.

Her blue-green eyes were shining prominently. When she was sure, she has all of our attention, and she clasps both her hands in front of her.

"Guys what I'm about to tell you don't be a surprise I have sat and thought about it carefully before taking that step. I need your support." Emily said.

Everybody at the table was now curious to know what she has to say. It not every day my crazy sister acts like an actual person.

No offense but I love my sister more than life itself, but she sometimes acts crazy.

Tell us, Emily, what is it that you have already thought about it. I said, weirdly looking at her.

"Well, I'm getting married guys like in two weeks," Emily said, jumping like a kid who has won a jackpot.

What? How? Why? With who? How did it happen? So many questions where running through my mind.

Mum and Dad where quite I think they are used to her pranks they are waiting for her to be like boom I was kidding mum.

But it never came. Slowly mum and dad broke into big grins as they hugged and congratulated her.

Mum and Dad are acting weird. They don't even know the groom, I'm sure. But look at them so happy.

So who is the unlucky guy to be stuck with you forever. I asked since it looks like I'm the reasonable one here.

"It Christian Ashford," Emily said, showing off her engagement ring.  "

No, you can't marry that man." I didn't think before talking.  So I just smiled and told her I was kidding.

At the mention of that name, mum and dad's happy face fell. Don't get us wrong Christian is a good and wealthy billionaire. But they don't think he deserves Emily although she is their daughter

But he is like four years older than her. He is old enough to be her brother who I'm I kidding I'm crushing on him my self since the first day I saw him.

"When will you ever be happy for me. You've envied since we were kids you've gotten everyone's attention finally have gotten some to my self you want to take it away from me." Emily accused me. Because of how I reacted to the news and what I mistakenly said.

I was beyond stunned. Is what she was saying right, have I been this bad to her. But I loved and did everything for her even at the cost of my happiness.

My feet carried me upstairs without my consent from afar. I heard mum reprimanding her. Dad on my defense but I'm so stunned by Emily's accusations.
