ROSE’S POV
“Cheryl! Stop that right now,” I walked over to where my sister was seated smoking blissfully and snatched the weed from her hand.
“What the hell Rose!” She mumbled. She was so high very high. I could tell that, just by simply looking at her eyes.
I wanted to slap her so hard so that she can know that what she is doing is not right but her friend held my hand before I could slap her.
“What do you think you are doing?” I turned to look at her friend with blue hair. Blue hair, whom does she think she is, Kylie Jenner?
“Who the f**k are you!” I hissed.
“Her friend, I mean, why else would I be here,” She answered me rudely as she rolled her eyes.
She pissed me even more and I could not resist the urge to slap her. I wanted to lay my hands on her but she stopped me.
“If you even think about it, I will slap you this time round,” She warned through gritted teeth and the way she spoke alone made my stomach churn.
“You guys need to chill,” Cheryl told us after we had a stiff staring contest.
“Is this coke?” My eyes landed on a white powder in a paper. This should be cocaine. That is why my sister is very high.
“I am going to call the cops. You are a f*****g drug dealer and you want to make my sister an addict,” I warned that girl.
“Don’t even think about it!” The girl warned with a determined voice.
“Aren’t you ashamed,” She started with the talking.
“You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself for dragging my sister into your mess life,” I warned her.
“Not really. You should be ashamed of yourself for sending this girl to cover for your shift. You are so selfish. Don’t even say that you are her sister. You are the one who caused all this trouble. You sent her to cover for your shift in The Grand Hotel and that is when she met the f**k boy who walked all over her heart!” She started blaming me.
“You don’t know what you are saying,” I warned her and I could feel myself struggling to breathe. What if what she is saying is true?
“The guy your sister met with that night because of you broke her heart, took her virginity and he has even made a s*x tape with her that can be posted to the internet anytime!” She accused me and I could feel weakness in my knees.
I felt weak therefore I sat on the nearby chair.
“That is not true,” I started whispering. How can only one night cause all this damage?
“Before you call the police, remember that you sent a small girl to work in that big hotel full of s**t. Also remember that your sister will go down with me!” She warned and she pulled Cheryl up.
Cheryl had been staring in space. She is just in her own world thanks to this drugs that the girl had been giving her.
The girl started pulling Cheryl out and I had to ask her where she is taking her.
“Please leave my sister here with me. I can take care of her.” I warned the girl.
“She cannot stay with you. Who knows, you might send her back to the grand hotel you selfish b***h. You only think about yourself. I am going with her. Her being here will only remind her of the pain she is feeling and it will be worse because you are the one who caused it.” The girl mumbled before they walked out of the house.
They were sure to shut the door behind them before they left. The sound of the door locking shattered my heart even more. What had I done? Is it true that I am the one who brought all this pain to my baby sister? I wish I would have never asked her to cover for me that day when I sent her to the hotel. I wish I had done something.
Thinking that I am the cause of all his made me so much sad. I started crying like a baby. Why is all this happening? Who can talk to her? I didn’t want to involve my mother in this because this will break her heart. She had so much faith in the two of us, her especially because she has always been bright and she always loved schoolwork.
She had this big dream of being a neurosurgeon. That was going to happen but since, since I sent her to the grand Hotel, everything has changed. She doesn’t care about all that now. She is living a different life now that is not pleasant. What if she becomes a drug addict?
What will I do? I have failed her. I wish I knew that this was going to happen so that I would have prevented it earlier on. At times like this, I wish that I had a dad who would talk to her and tell her that all this doing drug in the name of having fun will just cost her in the end.
I was not going to tell her this because she would not want to listen to me. She hated me for bringing her so much pain.
I was not going to sit here and cry. I had to talk to someone who might help her.
I wiped my tears away after deciding that I am going to talk to one of her teachers. She needs help from someone who will truly help her. I wiped my tears and prepared myself since I was going to her school.
I boarded a taxi and I was driven to the school premises. I was heading to the office when some boy stopped me.
“Hey, Cheryl’s sister, right?” Some boy approached me and after greeting me, he asked me that question.
“Yes,” I nodded. We looked alike and thus, someone who knows Cheryl could easily tell that I am her sister.
“How can I help you?” I asked him.
“My name is Nathan.” He introduced himself.
“Do you know my sister?” I asked him.
“Yea, she was my girlfriend for two years. She broke up with me when the week started. I don’t know what is happening to her, she is changed. She even missed school today,” The boy reported to me.
“She is not at a good place. She is with a wrong company. Let me start with that. She is hurt though, that is all I can tell you,” I told the guy.
“I wish I could help, but I can’t. She hates me and I don’t want to make things worse,” The boy told me.
“I understand. Do have an idea of a teacher who can talk to her, a teacher whom she can listen to?” I asked Cheryl’s ex-boyfriend.
“Yea, our English teacher can talk to her,” The boy advised.
“What is her name?” I implored.
“Miss Hellen. Please go and talk to her. She will help her before it is too late.” The boy advised.
“Thank you,”
“Hey, before you go. I just wanted to tell you this. In case you talk with her, tell her that I love her and I am willing to give her a second chance, I have already forgiven her for cheating on me” The boy said this and I nodded at him.
I left him still staring at me as I walked to the offices. I need to get help before it is too late.
