Chapter Seventeen : She Has Completely Lost It

"OK! This is it !" Trevor slammed his hands on the table rising to his feet. "You're weird and I'm leaving " He took his food off the table departing to his room but he took one last glance at his sister, shivered at the sight of her and left .

Once inside, he slammed his door with a bang, dropped the food on his bed and stared at the hotdog sausage she had put in his plate suspiciously. What's she up-to?

Trevor rubbed his temple, ever since her sister returned from that acceptance ceremony, she has being weird. He suddenly wondered if they did something to her cause he was a never a fan of that ceremony in the first place even if he did participate eventually .

Yes, but the point is her sister who always stole his food was the first and only one who gave up her own food to him when he requested for more . Which was absolutely one word 'strange'.

Come-on, he and Lia were frenemy, and never see eye to eye with each other on a lot of matters. To others like their Mom and Rex, it was just a squabble between siblings but the both knew themselves better.

It had all began when their dad was alive and started his once in a blue moon visit as their mom thought but the both knew otherwise.Their Dad did visit a lot of time in reality, he did visit Trevor in school behind everyone's back until Lia found out.Apparently, Trevor was the favoured one, the apple of his eye.

Unlike the others, Trevor spent two years in a boarding school before he was transferred to a day school. His father used that opportunity to pay a lot of visits and goodies to his dearest son until Lia found out the day she came to visit. She found out the boarding school was just a medium to show off his favouritism without anyone noticing.

They had an argument, a fight to be precise in which Lia accused him of sabotaging his father's attention and he had defended himself, saying he had done nothing like that . He tried to explain that it was their dad who took it upon himself to pay frequent visits but Lia was blinded by rage and resentment to believe him.

He tried to make her understand and so grabbed her hand but in a fit of anger, she pushed him away. Unfortunately for him, the force sent him reeling backwards, the next he knew he was falling from the window.

Lia realizing her mistake, reached out a hand to grab him but she was a seconds late cause he plunge to the ground.So she immediately rushed out to call for help.

Thankfully Trevor survived the fall from the first storey but not unscathed, he suffered a broken arm and a few bruises. When interrogated for the cause of the fall, he covered up for his sister. He claimed it was his fault for sitting on the windowsill to study, he apparently fell asleep but his sister's arrival startled him leading to his fall.

His explanation was so explicit that the school authorities and police had no choice than to believe him, moreover there wasn't an eye witness to dispute his claim.

Unluckily, everyone believed his story save their father, he didn't believe an inch of the bullshit he muttered. He claimed the Trevor he knew was a very careful person and wouldn't carelessly sit on a windowsill.

So after an intensive and gut - wrenching interrogation, the truth ultimately came to light . That night for the first time ever, his father hit Lia and locked her up in the storage room amid their mom's protest.

After that night, their relationship never became the same, his once lovely sister hated his guts. The only time they were at peace was whenever they had to agree to disagree for their mom's sake.

But now his sister suddenly became ultra nice to him this morning turning him into an emotional rollercoaster which truthfully was a bit uncomfortable, foreign and .. warm? . But he knew good things don't last long, Lia had something up her sleeve but couldn't quite put his finger on what she's up-to yet.

Is this some prank? or is she trying to make me lower my guards in order to get to me? Thoughts after thoughts ran through his mind but when his stomach rumbled, he was snapped back to reality.

Well prank or no prank, she offered her food willingly , so her loss. He simply dabbed his fork into the hotdog and consumed it right away. She wouldn't have the guts to put something in it, right?

Unknown to him, his sister was in a sullen mood thinking on how to build bridges between them.

"Do you think Trevor and I are ever going to friends? "

Lia asked Rex who was busy with his cellphone. She has her chin resting on her hand as she questioned her ever loyal brother.

Rex paused his game, looked up, staring at her with a quizzed expression.He murmured after a while. "Trevor's right "

"Right on what? "She asked confused

He nodded his head pitifully "You've completely lost it"

Then he stood and left leaving Lia who was still processing his comment.

Realizing what he meant, she fisted her hands and bellowed after him

"Damn you all, impossible to please specimens! . I am just trying to be nice here cause I realized I've being nothing but a jerk to my family but it's clear to me now that my efforts are nay appreciated. So Game over! I'm just gonna be me from now on and I hope you love it ! "
