Becky
I work as a waitress in a diner. I had dropped Lela off at her party, went by the mall to pick up a new outfit I have been saving up for, and then I came to work. I am working the night shift and won't get off till 3 in the morning. Jerrica hates that shift, but more she hates the idea of me driving at 3 in the morning. I just started my shift when I saw Lela and some guy come in. She was drenched in something. I went to seat them.
"Hi Lela, what happened to you?" I asked.
"Here's an idea don't ask." Lela replied.
"Is that beer, I smell? You haven't been drinking have you? Jerrica would have fit and your not suppose to mix your medication with alcohol." I said.
"Yes its beer, and no I wasn't drinking. I tripped and fell into the drink table." Lela said.
My manager Pete came up behind me.
"If you want to get cleaned up, there is a shower in the back." Pete told Lela.
I couldn't let Lela put that dress back on.
"Lela, I picked up a new outfit at the mall tonight. You can borrow for it for now." I said.
I went to my car and got the outfit for Lela. She took it and went to take a shower to wash the beer out of her hair, before Jerrica finds out what happened. Lela has been walking on egg shells around Jerrica since her heart attack. Jerrica means well, when it comes to all of us, but she can also tend to be overprotective and that can be annoying.
"Hi, I am Steve. Thanks for your help." The guy Lela came in with said to me.
"I'm Becky. What happened at the party?" I asked.
"I'm not quite sure. You sound like you know her." Steve said.
"I should, she is my sister." I said.
"Sister? But she is." Steve started to say.
I could tell that Steve didn't know anything about her.
"Lela is my foster sister. We are Starlight Girls. Didn't Lela tell you?" I told him.
"No. I don't how she managed to get through hell week, without revealing that piece of info. It still doesn't explain her freaking out tonight." Steve said.
"She freaked out?" I asked him.
Steve then told me about what happened at the party and how Lela ended up in the drink table. As I listened to him talk. I wonder if I should tell him. Lela will kill me if I do.
"If you know why she freaked out. You have to tell me. I know my sister and she'll kick Lela out of the sorority for tonight's incident." Steve said.
Should I tell him? It meant so much to Lela to get in.
"I can't tell you. However, I can tell you this. 16 years ago, something happened and it left Lela with no parents. That is when she became a Starlight Girl. I know for a fact that the incident was in the newspapers." I said.
There he can investigate if he wants to. I didn't really tell him anything. My manager let me take my sister home.
