Chapter 28: Sisters
"Sister!" Komi's voice says on the end of the phone.
I almost drop the phone in shock, "How did you get this number?" I ask.
"Does it matter?" she asks clearly annoyed.
"Yes!"I hiss into the phone.
Richard starts to stir in bed and he turns on the bedside lap on his side of the bed, he then turns around and faces me.
"Who's that?" he asks.
"My sister", I say and Richard eyes widen in shock.
"Well sister dear, if you must know, our dear mommy and daddy gave me your number", she says, "They at least care about me enough to keep in touch with me", she says.
I roll my eyes, "I'm so sorry I don't want to keep in touch with my druggie sister who tried to kill me!" I yell sarcastically.
"Tsk Tsk, you still want get over that will you sister", she says, "Well the past is the past, I've forgotten about it and so should too, besides I'm sober now", she says.
I snort, "What is so important, that you had to call me at 3 am for?" I ask.
"Your wedding! I hear your getting married and I'd love to meet this groom of yours, I'll be in town in tomorrow to visit, I'll text you the details, kisses!" she says and hangs up the phone.
I glance at the phone, 'She really hung up' I think to myself. I sigh and plug my phone in the charger and turn to face Richard who has now propped himself up.
"So what just happened?" he asks.
"My evil sister has invited herself to visit", I say.
"Wow, how long has it been since you have seen her?" he asks.
"Years", I say, "I haven't seen her since she left for rehab and that was my sophomore year in high school", I say.
"You've never really talked about it in the past, I know you told me she was in rehab but you never told me the whole story about what happened between the two of you", he says.
I wince at the bad memories and rub my hand up and down my face, "Basically she meet this got hooked on drugs her junior year in high school she started hanging with the wrong crowd, stealing and getting high all the time. My parents knew about the stealing but didn't know about the drugs. One day I caught her getting high in our room and she was afraid I was going to tell mom and dad so she tried to kill me. She choked me until I was unconscious and tried to throw me in the swimming pool, my neighbor saw what was happening and saved me just in time", I say and rub my hand on my neck and squeeze my eyes shut at the memory.
Richard sits up and wraps his arm around me, "I'm so sorry"; he says and kisses my forehead as I sob into his chest.
I wake up feeling groggy, Richard bare chest is still a bit wet from my tears and he still has his arm wrapped around me. I start to try to untangle myself from Richard's arm and he jolts awake.
"Morning", he says.
"Morning", I say and start stretch and sit up in bed, I notice Richard is staring at me.
"You look so beautiful", he says.
I laugh, "I doubt it", I say as I have seen my face after I cry.
Richard smiles, "It's true, you're beautiful inside and out", he says.
I blush, "Thank you", I say.
I get up and go to the bathroom and wash my face. As I brush my teeth I think of Komi's phone call and how she is coming to visit. I decide to give my parents a call.
I walk back into the room and pick up my phone and call my mom.
"Hi Sweetie!" My mom answers.
"Hi mom", I say.
"So how have you been? How's the wedding planning? Your father and I just got our invitations and they are gorgeous", my mom says.
"Thanks mom", I say and she starts to ramble about the wedding and picking out a mother of the bride dress.
"Mom, I actually didn't call to talk to you about the wedding", I say.
"Oh, well is everything ok?" she asks.
"Yes, well no", I say,"Mom, Komi called me", I say and wait for her reaction.
"Oh", she says, "Well your father and I call her sometimes and she has asked about you a lot so I told you about the wedding and I gave her your phone number", she says, "I'm sorry sweetie, I should have asked you first", she says.
I sigh, "It would have been nice to have a heads up, especially since she invited herself to visit", I say.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry sweetie, I didn't mean—"
"Mom, it's ok, it's not your fault", I say.
My mom sighs, "It's just that she really wants a second chance and make things right between you too. If you don't want to see her, we can just have her come here for a few days", my mom says.
"No, it's ok, I am a bit curious to see if she has changed", I say, "I have to go mom, I'll talk to you later", I say.
"Ok, call me if you need anything", she says.
"I will, love you mom", I say.
"Love you too sweetie", she says.
I hang up the phone and flop back onto the bed and groan in frustration.
I hear Richard walk over and sits on the bed next to me, "So I guess your sis is coming to visit huh", Richard says.
"Yep", I say.
"Are you sure you want her to stay here?" he says
I sigh, "Yea, I think I will give her a second chance", I say, "I just hope I don't regret it", I say.
Richard rubs his chin, "Want me to make you a zoraberry pie?" he asks.
I smile, "You always know what makes me feel better", I say and kiss him.
After and eventual morning Richard decided to work from home today and I stayed home and start studying for my final exams. After I finish studying and Richard finishes working, we order some Chinese take-out and sit down and cuddle in the living room and watch Taken, my phone rings and I answer, my stomach flips with anxiety as I hear the voice on the other line. I hang up the phone and get up from Richard's lap.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"She's here", I say.
