A Sister's Jealousy

Justine looked excited to see Caramel. His face glowed as he continued to eye her interestingly, taking in her outfit. "You look really beautiful in that gown. He commented, dramatically twirling her around.A slight gasp escaped my lips as I noticed the red gown she had on. It was mine and I had never worn it because I thought it was too bright for my taste. Watching her in it at the moment made me want to rip it off of her and tell him it belonged to me so he could praise me instead."Thank you, I got it from a very special someone." She placed her hand on her chest and turned to wink at me when she noticed he wasn't looking.The little act from her warmed my heart and my brain wires were reconnected. I had to remember that Caramel was my sister, and one of my best friends. I had to control my jealousy and remember how much I loved her."Won't you let him in? Are you just going to keep your visitor standing over t

"Ally!" I heard Caramel's voice jolt me out of the action I was about to take. I flinched in fear and moved out of Justine's grip. My heart began to race fast, had she seen me attempt to kiss him?"We heard screaming, what happened?" She moved closer to me, relief written on my face as she did. That meant she had not noticed what I was doing. Becca ran out of the house, a spatula in her hand, she had come to scrutinize as well."I fell off the ladder." I swallowed, catching my breathe. "Oh my God, are you okay?" She placed her hands on my shoulders, scanning me from head to toe with her eyes. "How did this even happen?" She gasped.Becca stood by the door and placed one hand on her waist. "Uh, who would have thought you would fail terribly at something that isn't the kitchen?" She teased."You are a bitch, I hope you know this." I rolled my eyes at her and shook my shoulders gently to get Caramel's

I pulled away from Justine and cleared my throat. The family had their attention on me, and I almost laughed at how Justine looked like he had committed a crime.Caramel stood to her feet and hurried to stand by our sides. "Are you okay?" She asked me with doubting eyes, clutching Justine's hand in hers."I'm fine." I cleared my throat a second time."Since Justine is my guest. He can have my seat. It is fine, really." She said with a straight face and led him to where she had been seated."Nonsense, I'm more of family than guest, I really am not-" Justine started to say, trying to get Caramel to keep her seat until Becca cut him off."While you two are playing lovebirds, there is a stool in the living room and Ally can sit on it, since she was not fast enough to get a chair." She rolled her eyes and proceeded to grab the said stool from the living room."Becca is right. I

"What?" There was no hiding my surprise at his words. I thought my ears were sinking me in deception. I hurried to stand in front of him to find answers to my questions."What happened?" I pushed further. I was in love with him, but I would never want their relationship to break apart."It just happened, and I don't know-" he sounded like he was lost on what to say, or do and so I shook my head at him."Save it, you don't have to force yourself to talk now. Let us get in the car, and you can explain it all to me. The rain could catch up with us if we aren't careful." I was surprised and I was almost sure his words were nothing but a random joke to get at me.He sighed in frustration but opened the door and nodded in my direction so I understood he wanted me to go inside the car with him.I went to the passenger side and waited for his explanation. "Okay, go ahead, speak." I said impatiently, maintai

"How long have you known Justine?" I began, staring directly into her orbs."Why is that an important question?" She furrowed her eyebrows, letting go of the pillow she had held to her chest."Just answer me." I ignored her annoyance and continued with my statement."It's been over a year." She reluctantly provided, rolling her eyes at me. She must have found my question irrelevant but I was headed to a destination."A year is a long time to know a person, I'm certain that deep down, you have a feeling he has done nothing wrong but that strong part of you chooses to believe he has only done the wrong thing." I said to her. She put her lips in a pout."You should not let terrible friends influence you. Justine is a really hot guy," I paused to swallow the lump that had grown in my throat. "And basically every girl wants him. You know better than everyone that you are really lucky. Who knows how many
