Lisa and Anne argues

After the small fight, Lisa could no longer proceed with preparing her cereal. She was more than angry to the extent that she broke the bowl that was in her hands. She wasn't able to swallow what had just happened. Moreover, for someone who was always looking after me and my health, she felt how I treated her was very much unfair. What made her boil with anger more was the fact that no matter what, she wasn't and will never be able to fight back at me. This is not only because of my current condition but also because my stamina and physic surpass hers and the current situation I am in, makes me more difficult to deal with. This is why she didn't do anything after I had let her go because several times, we exchanged blows and things ended up unfavorable for her. However, this time around what had just happened got the best of her, especially my words kept on ringing in her head and her feelings were so hurt. After cleaning the mess caused by the broken bowl, she headed into the shower and began to run a cold shower. She sat down and left the water to run all over her body, cooling herself down, burying her face between her raised thighs with both her arms hugging around her knees, sobbing. She was trying to figure out if all her efforts were worth it and if the kind of treatment she was getting is what she deserves, one more thing she was now questioning her position because it's true that I wasn't the one who asked her to stay and now the big question is DID I EVER WANTED HER TO STAY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING? After taking a shower for almost an hour, she then got dressed in her pajamas, sat on her bed, and watched one of her favorite movies on the television that was mounted on the walls in her room. After a while, she fell asleep for about two hours and was woken up by her phone ringing.

(Sleepy) "Yeah, what's up?"

(Surprised) "You are still sleeping at this hour of the day, it's 1 pm and you are wasting your day in bed are you okay?"

(Bored) "Anne I don't have your time; you just disturbed my beauty sleep for this nonsense are you insane? Tell you the truth, I wish like punching you right now, if you got nothing better to say I'm hanging up right now."

"What's with the attitude did something happen, your mood is off?"

"Nothing new, same old story?"

(Surprised) "What! When will you guys learn to grow up, respect each other and stop fighting?"

(irritated) "No offense but if you ask me, I would say your head is empty, you got no brains at all that's why you are always clueless."

(Annoyed) "Lisa respect me and respect yourself also."

(Annoyed too and being sarcastic) "Hahahahaha, did I touch the right spot? Let me tell you, something dummy, respect is earned and not asked for. Let me give it to you straight, are you telling me that you are so blank to the extent that you can't realize the damage you have been causing all along?"

(Frustrated and confused) "You said you are giving it to me straight but I am more confused, do you have any idea that I am older than you what's with the disrespect, and also what damage are you talking about? Is monitoring Tasha and keeping me updated damaging your phone or your energy? If I still remember, Tasha is not a baby, and never have I ever asked you guys to fight so what's wrong with you?"

(Anger rising, speaking with an unfriendly tone) "Unfortunately, you do not act like someone older than us, anyway, I am saying you have been the catalyst of all the fights that I have been having with Tasha. I have been, quiet all this while because I thought you as an elder would realize it and change, but it seems to me that you are so blind. Honestly, I should applaud you for causing trouble and also give you a trophy for playing dumb and stupid. Seems like your mission is going to be successful because between Tasha and me one of us will go to jail or even worse like six feet down. How old are you, you like playing with people's lives…?"

At this moment Lisa was speaking pacing up and down in her room, she was so burning with anger and it didn't allow her to sit down.

(Feeling so much insulted and angry) "Lisa!!..."

"Shut up I'm still talking, if you do not have the right answer zip it okay!!! You are the eldest but everything you do says the opposite, you are clouded by selfishness and very inconsiderate! You always want to lead other people's lives with your own rules and ways! I have a lot to say thanks to the little respect I have for you, I am restraining myself right now!"

(Embarrassed and realizing her mistakes) "Can you please calm down first and let us reason together, besides you can't blame me for your fights?" She said with a soft tone.

(Tasha's side)

On the other hand, I had just woken up in my room and found my antidepressant and water ready and well covered on the dressing table, Lisa had brought the pill whilst I was sleeping. She is the one who keeps the meds for me because the doctor advised that I should not have any access to things like medication or any toxic chemicals. I drank the pill and water and then decided to head to the kitchen and prepare something for myself. The moment I got out of my room, I heard Lisa shouting at the top of her voice, this drew my attention such that I walked to her door and couldn't help but listen to the conversation, I could also hear the caller on the other side because her phone was on loudspeaker...

(Back to Lisa and Anne's conversation)

"Calm down, you said I should calm down after Tasha almost broke my neck, she even told me straight into my face that I should leave her house any time after all it's you who asked me to stay. Do you know how much it hurts, when you try by all means to do good but in the end, the joke is on you? Now tell me, are all my efforts worth it, since you are the one who asked me to stay, when am I leaving? Tell you what Anne, I have been pushed to the corner and I don't think I can take it anymore. You do not know how to tackle sensitive issues, your approach is so worse, and yet you claim to be our elder. You always say that I talk too much and I'm stubborn, you also say that Tasha is stubborn and got anger issues but have you ever put your weaknesses into inconsideration too?"

(No answer)

(fuming) "Answer me, have you ever thought about the way you address issues and situations!? You think everything needs a push and violence, what exactly is your problem!?"

"I…I…I… didn't know I was the causative, I… well, is it that bad?"

(Letting out a dry laugh) "Hahaha, I don't blame you, your head is full of water, I wanted to say something more than water let me save you some little respect. Now, I need you to listen to me, your stupidity is going to cost us our lives. If something like this happens again, although I'm not so sure if there is going to be the next time, worse is going to turn into worst, even though I'm no match for Tasha I will be tempted to fight back and you won't like the result. Take my advice, if you can't address issues like a mature grown-up look for someone capable. Another thing, you need to come back and fix the situation at hand because from where you are, you are not helping at all. I don't care how you will do it but you have to leave everything and come otherwise I'm going to leave Tasha on her own and you will also not hear from me again. Another thing, don't call me unless you are at the airport asking me to come and pick you up."

After listening to this heated argument between Anne and Lisa, that's when it occurred to me that Lisa wasn't just poking her nose into my business for the sake of informing Anne but her actions were in good faith. The way she argued wasn't that of someone who just wanted to fulfill her duty but she was concerned and worried about me, she has been trying but I was too blind to see. Well, after thinking everything through as I headed to the kitchen, I couldn't stop regretting my actions, I had done it again and this time, I had messed up.

On the other hand, after her conversation with Anne, Lisa was no longer comfortable spending the whole day at home so she got dressed and headed out for some fresh air and to also grab a bite with a friend. Also, she wasn't ready to face me…
