Forever
chapter 7
I
walked down the stairs to dinner, along with Hayden and Kelsey.
"Oh good, your finally down." Carrie said when she
saw me come. "This is Susie,
Hayden's mom." She said and I introduced
myself. "Hello, I'm Melissa, this is my sister Kelsey.
I'm sure Isaiah already introduced himself, he's fast
like that." I said and Isaiah nodded at me to sit
down. I pulled a chair for Kelsey and she sat down.
"Food!" She yelled as she got into the chair.
"Kelsey sit down normally!" I yelled. "Criss
cross apple sauce". Hayden laughed as he picked
up his fork. Kelsey didn't listen and started
screaming. "Food! Food! Now!" She yelled. "No
Kelsey. Behave." I said. She threw a tantrum. "Mel,
maybe you should eat up stairs." Isaiah said to me.
"Fine." I said and grabbed Kelsey's hand and her
dish along with mine. "I'll come with you... for
company". Hayden said. "Oh no. It's-". But
before I could finish he was already picking up his dish and
heading towards me. When I got up stairs I put Kelsey in the
crib that was still in her room. She whined to get out.
"No. Kelsey. If you do not behave you don't get
food." I said. Hayden looked at me. "She'll be
fine!" I snapped at him. He laughed. "Melissa.
Melissa..." Kelsey cried. About 5 more minutes of crying
Isaiah came up. "Melissa, you need to handle this better
so Carrie and Mrs. Riviera don't think were incapable of
taking care of our sister" He warned me. "But Isaiah
we are incapable. We barely made it out alive of a plane! If
mom and dad were still here-" "Melissa! Stop it. You
know that plane incident wasn't our faults. And don't
bring up mom and dad. Please..." He looked away.
"Isaiah..." He turned to me. "I wish they were
here as much as you do but they're gone and we have to get
over it". He said and picked up Kelsey. "Ready to go
downstairs and behave?" Isaiah asked her.
"Yeah..." She said, and he wiped off her tears with a
napkin. Isaiah was always emotional for a moment, then strick
the next. It was as if showing emotion or caring was against
his nature. He was always the one who acted strong when mom and
dad died. He was the one who took care of me and Kelsey. Even
though I got another job, and so did he. He was the one who
paid most of the bills and kept us alive while I went shopping
for food.
