Family

July 7 (2016)

The following morning

I woke up with a tense headache and all I could remember was that my boyfriend left me and I was outside home the whole night.

Just at the moment when I was trying to recall what happened yesterday, my phone ranged. It was Mrs. Higgins. My sister's too young to have her own phone so when needed, she always called me through Mrs. Higgins phone. However, I didn't took the call, for I was still in trauma.

When I checked my social media and other stuffs in my phone. I even found out that Alex blocked me from 'everywhere' he unfriended me from games and blocked me from other appications and social medias. I became way more furious. "Rascal, I'm so done with you!", I murmured to myself. "They must be worried!", I thought and then left hurriedly.

When I reached home, I saw our neighbor Mrs. Higgins already waiting out my apartment room waiting for me with her hands crossed. "Caroline!", she said, "where have you been all night!?...Do you even know how much we've waited for you!?...You were 'outside' the whole night! " "as expected" I murmured.. I think she heard what I murmured, that's why she became even more furious and then without a word, she grabbed my right arm and pulled me into my apartment and there I saw Chloe sleeping in the floor and food (probably my dinner) on the dining table.... "She waited for you the whole night. I told her to sleep in my apartment tonight while saying that you won't come but she didn't listen, instead slept on the floor.."

I was speechless...I don't know why but I became really emotional and tears started rolling down my cheeks. "Listen dear, I don't know what happened but you need to take care of this little child.. We are here for her, but you are her own blood, it's you who she really takes as a family, I know it's really difficult for you to work and study with these expenses and with a little child in your hands but you have to do it, If you don't take care of her then who will?..."Mrs. Higgins stopped when she saw me crying and then hugged me... (for the first time I felt something motherly caring about me) , she rubbed my back as she said,"Okay there there,,, let it go now", I'm here...

After a few sessions of crying like a baby, I finally spoke, "Mrs.Higgins I really didn't-" but she cutted me out and said, "I'll listen to everything, but before, there are more important things to do, I'll be in the next door, just come after your mind is clear" she said so and left...

That day I learned a big lesson in my life..."Nothing is more important than your family". Life will always be warm and nice, as long as family's there. Then I looked at my sister,

"I will be a better sister,I promise."........
