Chapter 22. Sisterly Love

Glace

“We need to talk.” I was met with silence. “Are you still there Dulce?”

“Yes I’m here.” She exhaled. “Let’s meet. But not in your house. I can’t handle that right now.” Her voice was shaky, like she was trying hard not to cry. I knew the feeling because I was doing the same thing.

“Okay. Let’s meet at the park. Few people will be there since it’s nighttime.”

“See you in twenty Glace.” She hung up.

Twenty minutes later, I tapped my foot on the ground nervously. I couldn’t stay still on the bench. Maybe she didn’t want to see me. I breathed a sigh of relief when she appeared. Dulce still looked amazing despite having dark circles around her eyes and looking thinner than before. My heart ached at the thought of her losing sleep or skipping meals because of me. She wrapped her jacket self-consciously to her, sitting beside me.

No one wanted to speak first. It has been too long since we saw each other. In reality, it has been a week. For both of us, that could very well be eternity. I broke the silence. “I miss you. I really do.” There was confusion on her face. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear. I have always loved that red hair of hers. It reminded me of fire. And that was what she was to me, a flame that I couldn’t extinguish no matter how cold I was inside.

“I miss you too,” she admitted. “More than you know.”

Our eyes met for the first time in days. God, I adored those brown eyes. “Why can’t we just stay together? This is not right. We have to think of our happiness too.”

She shook her head sadly. “We can’t. This is for my mom. She deserves a second chance at love.”

“You don’t know my dad,” I argued. “He’s not right for Andrea. I’m not saying this because I want them to breakup badly. I’m saying this because it’s true. He never loved me as his daughter. How can you expect that he’ll be good to your mom?”

The pain in her eyes reflected mine. “He proposed to her the other night. She said yes. It’s over Glace. We’re going to be family.” She choked at the last word and bit her lower lip.

My world crumbled. She was all I had. I couldn’t give up on us. “What if we tell Andrea everything? Maybe she’d call off the engagement for us. She’ll do it for you.”

Dulce leaned back on the bench and glanced at the stars, looking for an answer there. Like all the dreamers who gazed at it before, she found none. “Your dad told her already. He apologized for lying about you.” She turned to me and frowned. “He also told mom that we broke up because you found someone new. She believed him.”

I wanted to slam my head on the ground. That lying bastard father of mine made the situation worse. I hated him. My voice trembled as I said, “I wish I can love you as my sister, but I can’t.
