Chapter Two – The Metaphor Bomb Shell

The next couple of days after that were the same Conrad was changing my sister and I could tell by the way she acted around me. It was almost as if he was brainwashing her. A couple of weeks later after a lot of tears were shed, I knew that I had to face this Conrad boy and tell him to lay off my sister. I went up to his door and knocked furiously on his door. The door swung open and a boy with stunning jet black hair and brand name clothes stepped out.

"Hello!" The boy says to me. " I'm Conrad you must be Eliza's sister you look just like her!" He tells me. I laugh at that but then I answer.

"Yes I am. I came to tell you that, you're an ass. What are you doing to my sister! She's changed ever since the day she's met you. I just came to let you know that if I find out you hurt her in any way I will personally come and beat the crap out of you! Leave my sister alone okay buddy?" I say feeling a lot tougher than I really am. He backs up a bit and says;

"I don't mean your sister any harm I don't want to hurt anybody so I would prefer if you would refrain from hurting me." He says in a really polite way.

"Fine I just came to warn you about that. Goodbye now." I say as I storm off down the street. I was angry and I entered the house and it was a typical Saturday afternoon. My family was sitting around the fireplace. My mother was knitting a sweater for my father, my father was reading the newspaper, Eliza was sitting watching the soap opera on TV and Bentley our old basset hound was sleeping on the floor. I walked inside and stormed up to my room. Eliza followed.

"What's your issue?" Eliza asks me.

"What's YOUR issue?" I ask her the rhetorical question.

"Wow I was just wondering, Isobel. I'm going out with Conrad tonight! I'm really excited! It's a shame you don't have a boyfriend. Maybe if you become beautiful you will get one!" She tells me. I was so angry already I screamed at her;

"WELL I'M SORRY LITTLE MISS PERFECT WHY DON'T YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND HAVE A NICE LIFE?!" I yell and lock myself in the washroom for 2 hours while I have a bath with my Supernova Bath Bombs. Later when I unlocked the door Eliza had left already. It was the same thing everyday. She didn't even bother to apologize for being mean to me anymore. It's the same thing. It was December 15th today and I was getting ready. There was so much snow outside and I remember when me and Eliza used to play out in our snowsuits in the snow. I cried at the remembrance of my sister when she was so nice to me. I watched television in my bedroom for a couple hours. When I was almost asleep and it was pitch black outside Eliza came running into the bedroom and locked the door. She had red puffy eyes and her makeup had been running down her face. Tears streaming down her face I went up to her.

"Oh my god what happened Liza?" I ask sitting down on the bed beside her.

"Conrad broke up with me for an older girl!" She tells me crying on to my shoulder. We sat there for a while, we laughed and I think it brought us closer together. I noticed it in the next couple of days too. She was becoming my sister again and not some stupid bimbo! She was becoming nicer and soon enough we were closer than ever. I went out on my morning run one morning I believe it was December 21st I came home from running and I entered the living room. My grandparents aunts uncle's and my family were all crying around the fireplace. I stood there sweaty and confused. My mom came up to me crying.

"It's Eliza, she's…"
