Sister, We Are Doomed

{MAYA}

Earlier That Day

"I am your eldest daughter and you should not act like this, I can take whatever you tell me. And then we can handle it as grown-ups. Mom, dad. I swear if no one says something I will scream bloody murder."

Amelia and Blake chuckled and stared at each other. Amelia inhaled deeply and took Maya's hand to hers, "Maya, we are sorry about this, but we are handling it."

Maya shook her head; she knew she was acting like a kid yet she couldn't bring herself to stand and head to school.

"You guys have never acted like this and that is why I am acting this way. Am I acting as a kid?" Maya asked. Her parents shook their heads and Amelia tried again, "honey, you are acting the correct way. Oh, my Lord, I can't believe I just said that. I promise when you come back from school, you will find we have handled this."

Blake nodded and said softly, "yes hon, we are sorry for making you worried."
