Attention: this is the updated version of chapter 5. Just so you don't get confused I paywalled all the old ones. So yeah, enjoy! 


Lilith doesn’t know what she’s doing. She's just lacking guidance. I came here to help her as much as I can. 


She grew up without any mutual support. She relied on me to do things for her. I helped her make breakfast, with her homework, read her bedtime stories, went fishing with her. We even painted our nails and had a girl's night together. those were the days. 


I know I haven't done much for her after I left but this is serious. Grandma asked me indirectly to not let her down but I don't know if I won't. I have been losing contact with this peaceful town life. We live 300,000 miles away from each other and I missed her. 


she shouted: ' go away I don't need you', my heart broke into a million pieces. Not to spoil the mood or anything but it's just sad seeing someone who stuck with you your whole life leave. 


She ran to her room and slammed the door shut. 


After the fight, it just can’t be helped. I know I didn't act responsibly. Maybe I’m the one who needs guidance. I never got a chance to read grandma’s message. So before doing anything I decided to read her last message. I opened the messenger app. 


1 unread message from grandma. Still getting the chills from it. 


Chills ran down my spine. She knew. But she didn’t tell. All because She wanted me to tell them. I suddenly know what to do. I made a big mistake talking to my little sister like that. I went back to apologize but she wouldn’t open the door. 


 Her phone was switched off too. I couldn’t ask her a lot about the fainting incident. I heard it from her friends during their visit to the grave. But it all seemed suspicious because she fainted exactly 10 minutes before grandma died. 


Grandma was right. She could fall apart thinking it’s her fault. The only reasonable thing to do is to wait for her to come out and then apologize to her. But in vain. She won’t come down. Mom won’t too. 


But the reason I want to help her so bad is that I don't want her to end up like me. 


Oh, come on, what’s wrong with these people? It was morning already. I decided to make breakfast myself before waking them up. 


 They’ll come down when they’re hungry. And so I toasted some bread and butter with fresh handmade orange juice. Mmmm…delicious. John loves these! Oh, I miss my baby boy! 


The phone just kept ringing. I picked it up and put it on my ear. ‘Hello?’ 


‘Hey my love, how are you?’ his voice was cheery as ever. His tender voice and sweet words were what kept me going through college. He is just what I need to make my day. But other times, he’s just an idiot. 


'not good. I think I need to stay a little more 


And I explained everything that happened these past few days. 


‘Woah babe, I get that your grandma died and your sister is mad about that, and you're giving her guidance?’ 


'Oh come on, don't make me laugh, maybe you should work as a guidance counselor from now on' 


the food was getting cold. I better just wake them and leave. 


I knocked at both of their doors and left before they came down.
