Chapter 27. ♠

"Maybe just a little"

I chuckled nervous responding to Zoey's comment but my dad responded defending me with a lopsided smile saying

"Hey Zoeyy back off. She my little nerd "

"Okay father I was just saying "

She responded raising both hands in mocking surrender before giggling and asking The One question I've been dreading to hear and answer.

"Soo sis, how's the every Friday therapy going? Great I hope... You still haven't really told us what promoted you to think about ending your life. "

"Zoey!!! "

My mom scolded glaring at her and she responded courtly

"What?!?, I'm just saying I'm curious. Don't you all wanna know. "

"She'll tell us when she is ready Zoey don't push it or you might trigger something else"

My mom said the last part in a low whisper scolding Zoey for asking such a question out of the blues like that. After which she said to me

"Don't listen to her okay, take your time baby, when ever you are ready. "

I gave her a weary smile before we finish the rest of out breakfast in silence. Once we were done, dad helped mom with the dishes while Addie and Zoey went upstairs to get ready for there day. i bade mom and dad goodbye before i went to meet Kelvin and his older brother who we're already waiting for me in the car. we had just left their drive way when my two sister came rushing toward the car asking if they could get a lift. My sister Zoey was forward enough to ask as she said.

"Hey denisss how you dooin-- can we get a lift"

"Urrmm... I'm trying to take your sister to school Soo... I'm not sure--"

"K sure, you can just drop her off first."

With that Zoey entered the front sit while Addie, Kelvin and I occupied the back as we all headed to our school first. The drive was pretty quiet not to mention awkward, Zoey couldn't take the silence so she decided to fill the silence with music. She turned on the radio after and after song Tired by Alan walker was playing. After a while when were getting closer to our school Denis asked Addie

"Soo Addie--"

"Its Eniola to you"

"Right Eniola, would you like to go out with me tomorrow... say Movies by 6 "

"Movie are Soo overrated. Besides I'd be having headache tomorrow. "

She responded with a bored expression on her face. She Sat beside me and that was directly behind the driver's side. Denis looked through the mirror, giving her a questioning and confused look but she shrugged her shoulder before she confirmed what she said.

"What?? I have headaches by that time every Saturday"

"Ooh... oohkay... How a... About later today?... Same time"

Denis asked stuttering as we slowly approached our school. Poor Denis I wonder what he did that made my sister hate him like that. But the response she gave was sure to break even the strongest of heart as she said

"Oh, oh I.. I.. I would but you see my sister, she has this thing and I have to help her with it right Emmanuella? "

She ask through clenched teeth and i glared at her refusing to respond and aid her bailing out on poor Denis again. When she notice I wasn't going to speak, she pinched me and stepped on my foot lightly causing me to give a positive reply through clenched teeth as well.
