Chapter 5

Hazel

   I hurried out of Mc Donald's ignoring Vee's calls. I can't believe I forgot. It's 2:30 right now meaning it has been 1 whole hour since Louie's school got over.

Noooooo! I screamed in my head as I approached the bus stop.

   There's was about to leave when I quickly got in. Whew!

  I don't know if it's just me or is thus bus moving like a slug. I got to the school gate and got down.

  I ran to the gate but the security wouldn't let me in.

  "Please Sir, my brother is still in there" I panted trying to get through them.

   "Then why didn't you come pick him up an hour ago"the man spat back at me.

   I later got to know that no soul was left at the school. I put my head in my palms as I pushed my wet hair due to my tears back.

Where could Louie be?

  I quickly called Mrs Rose to find out.

  "Hello,dear"she said from the other side of the phone.

   "Hello Mrs Rose, uhm... Could you perhaps know the whereabout of Louie"i said trying best to keep my voice clear.

"Oh I'm so sorry that skipped my mind. I had seen him at the School crying so I decided to bring him here but he hasn't stopped crying, pl-"

  I quickly cut the call and ran out of the call booth.

  I ran home as quickly as I could. I knocked as hard as I could on the door before Mrs Rose opened up.

  "Come in quickly"she said as I ran in.

   I spotted Louie on the couch sobbing and cuddling his stuffed toy.

  "He has been like that since we got back"she said to me as I moved towards him.

   I squatted to bring my height to his. I quickly cleaned my tears quickly before I spoke.

"Louie"i said kind of in a whisper as I stroked his cheek.

  He raised his eye balls to me and in a split second he threw my hand at me.

   "Get away, leave me alone!"he yelled in tears.

   "Louie I'm sorry"i said.

  "No, you always break your promises!"he spat back wiping his face with the back of his hands.

  "I know I do"i said as I lowered my head. "But lemme promise you one thing"i said.

   "No!, no more of your promises!"he yelled louder this time standing up from the couch.

  I quickly stopped him and brought him to face me.

  "Louie look, I'm your sister right? "

  "Yeah"

   "Would I ever do anything to hurt you?"I asked and he shrugged back.

    "C'mon Louie, seriously? "

   "Maybe"

   "I promise you that tomorrow, it'll be only you and me and where ever and I promise nothing will wrong this time"i said wiping his face.

      "Promise sis?"he asked bringing out his pinky finger. I put my pinky in his little own.

   "Promise"

     He smiled broadly as I carried his school bag up and in his hand in mine and headed towards the door.

   "Thank you ma'am "I said to Mrs Rose as I got out who was watering the flowers outside.

   "Forever welcome dear"she replied.

    I walked at straight to my apartment unlocking it with the key.

   It was already 3:30 so there was no point heading back to Mc Donald's since I was on morning stand.

      I'm happy I had collected my pay check earlier and replaced the pain killers and Advil I usually take.

    I took some of the Advil and helped Louie get through with his homework.Luckily,he loved doing that. Then we played a game of tag a bit.

   What I do for Louie.

  Then he got tired and fell asleep on the kitchen floor after dinner.

    I got him to wash up luckily he was sleepy so didn't fight back then tucked him to bed.

    I then washed up in a cold bath since the water heater had started having malfunctions too. I put on my flowery pyjamas and slumped into the bed.

   Thinking of today,i kind of felt like a slut.

   It's all for Louie, it's all for Louie

I chanted in my head as I slowly fell asleep.
