It was a hot Friday night, and here was Angelina alone, sitting on the floor, in darkness; she was so bored and extremely frustrated.

Her music was turned on loud, as loud as it could go, but unfortunately it wasn’t loud enough, Tyler was in his room with another girl and this one was a screamer.

She got up and went over to Tyler’s room, she banged on his door and told them to shut up the only reply she got was a giggle and Tyler whispering.

Angelina hated girls like that, in fact she hated all the girls her brother had slept with, they annoyed her, how ignorant they were, how stupid they were, they all thought Tyler would phone them, but Angelina never saw the same girl twice.

She laughed at all the excuses Tyler made up to get rid of them the next morning, he usually used her as an excuse, and even though she knew the trouble she could cause with that she let him, mainly because she also wanted the girls to leave and she also wanted to get some silence during the day while Tyler slept.

Angelina was 17 years old and Tyler was 19 they lived in a small broken down apartment just outside the city together. Their parents died two years ago and since then things just went down hill like Angelina dropping out of school and

Tyler, well his life consisted of sleeping, drinking and girls.

In the afternoon, when the house was quiet, and Tyler slept, Angelina often sat in her room thinking about her life, she remembered how it used to be, how she used to be, like those girls Tyler had,

Bubbly, happy and giggly.

She remembered how she was popular, the most popular girl in the college, she remembered how she had so many friends and then how it all ended.

How she ran into the house with eagerness, she had been nominated head cheerleader, she couldn’t wait to tell her mom

She went out to the porch where her mom used to sit and write, but saw she wasn’t there, then suddenly the phone rang, she ran to the kitchen to get it, it was her best friend they were going out to celebrate she wrote a note and pasted it to the fridge and ran out to meet her friends, she could tell her mom at supper, then everybody could hear.

When she got back her house was surrounded by police cars, she heard Lilith screaming, she ran inside the house. Her parents were in body bags being pushed away, she ran over to comfort Lilith who was standing by a group of police officers, she was only a year older than her.

The police held Angelina back, she fought against them, she wanted to hug Lilith, she wanted her sisters comfort, but they just held her back, she screamed and cried and watched while a group of officers walked Lilith out the house, Angelina shouted at them, screamed at them, growled at them. Bit them, she wanted her sister; she couldn’t understand why they were taking her away.

They forced Angelina down at the kitchen table and tried to explain how Lilith had killed their parents, Angelina stopped crying immediately and look up at the officers

Lilith had always been jealous, she wasn’t as pretty as Angelina or the first born like Tyler, she was just herself.

Lilith’s grades weren’t good and she never really had any friends, she just kept to herself, kept her feelings bottled up whenever she’d fight with Angelina or their parents she would just leave and go to her room without saying anything…

Angelina didn’t hate Lilith for killing her parents she felt sorry for her, she felt it was partly her fault, she had lost her mother, as well as her older sister.

After that all her friends seemed to have “other plans“ and she soon realized she was no longer popular, she had nobody to talk to she was only 15 this was too much for her, she just couldn’t face going to college anymore, so she left.

Nobody really made any thing about her leaving, there was no big deal, no phone calls, no principle or guidance counselor talking to her, they just left her leave, people had so many mixed emotions about her, they felt sorry for her, but as well as scared of her, her sister went on a mad rampage and killed her parents, things like that just don’t happen

Every night she fell asleep thinking about it all, she fell slept so she could dream about her family get some borrowed time with them, as if they didn’t die, because they were all alive in her dreams,

One night she woke up to get some water, and go to the bathroom, she opened the door and a girl looked up at her, she had been crying, they both looked away in embarrassment,

Angelina then finally asked if she was okay but of pure duty, and to maybe get her out the bathroom.

The girl just replied with “ He doesn’t love me?!”

Angelina thought that this girl must really be the stupidest, love her? Tyler didn’t love anything, anybody…

Angelina shook her head both in disbelief and statement.

The girl carried on weeping softly, Angelina didn’t know what to do, she walked over to the girl and hugged her, at first it was without feeling, as to get her out, but she then remembered how good it was to hug some body, how it felt to be held/

She, after a long hug got on her knee’s and looked up at the girl and asked why she had slept with Tyler, and how she could think after just one night Tyler would lover her.

The girl told Angelina about herself how she had never really had anybody in her life, how Tyler was the first guy she trusted enough to talk to, how he seemed so nice to her, how she didn’t intend to sleep with Tyler but after he had bought her something to drink she just forgot about everything, Tyler made her seem so important, he held her, he listened she explained, how he had seen her cry when she told him about her life, how he suggested that they went to a quiet place to talk about it…

…That’s how it happened, she said with an outburst of crying

Her name was Tatiana, she was 20 and so beautiful, she lived alone, after her father died when she was 14 and her mother remarried, the man she married was nothing like her father, he said terrible things to her, did terrible things, her mother didn’t listen because she was either too busy drinking or with her new husband to listen so she ran away.

Angelina cried for her, and her own problems, and they hugged again.

Angelina wasn’t sure if she was drunk but suddenly they were kissing when Angelina realized she pulled away quickly, and so did Tatiana, they both looked at each other in shock, trying to understand what just happened.

At that moment they both saw something in each others eye’s mutual respect, beauty, pain…love…

They started laughing and got up and hugged, intimately they walked out the bathroom, it was Angelina’s turn to make a girl scream with pleasure

They woke up holding each other, their pain had faded slightly, they lay in bed awake, silently holding each other.

Angelina glowing while Tatiana brushed her hair, they kissed and Angelina left for home

She told Tyler she was moving out, and she moved in with Tatiana, she started college and graduated,

Her and Tatiana did have fights, but that was just heated by passion and was soon followed by great sex.

They both truly loved each other, and lived happily ever after.
