Is there Truth in the Stars? (A Laurisa Cimorelli Fanfiction)

Chapter nine

"Hey Lauren, it's your and Lisa's turn to cook dinner tonight" Mom told me on Saturday. I rolled my eyes because of course she would pick her and me.

"Come downstairs. We're hungry."

"Just make a sandwich" I mumbled but still walked down. Lisa was already in the kitchen. We haven't talked one word after Tuesday evening. We haven't even looked at each other ever since. And I was glad about it. But since I had no idea what I should cook I had to talk to her.

"What can I do?"

"Pasta. I make salad" she said shortly and so I started cooking. Even though I love pasta I was disgusted by this food that Lisa and I did together.

After dinner when all of our siblings left Mom and Dad wanted us to stay.

"We are sick and tired of you fighting. We tried so hard and you even were good at some point. When you had this concert. You came home and you were good. And then all of these feelings disappeared?"

"Maybe we could just get our shit together for one day."

"Language, Lauren."

I sighed. "Sorry. I just mean that things can't be okay just because of one stupid day."

"You were the one telling me that you hate Lisa because of only one day."

"Yes, but maybe hate is a much stronger emotion than love. You have to gain trust. But if you lose it once you can't expect to get it back that easily."

"Okay, listen, Lauren. I know this is about you. Lisa wants you two back together again. Now it's up to you. What would make you feel better? What can we do?"

"Make her move out!"

"Lauren!"

"What? You asked what I wanted and that's it. Seriously make her move out because every time I look at her it reminds me of how she destroyed my life. And I don't want to be reminded every fricking day! So I would be much happier if she lives somewhere else!"

"Lauren, you don't mean that" Dad said but Lisa shook her head.

"No. It's okay. I understand. So there is nothing else I can do?" She asked and she looked at me directly.

I shook my head, looking down. Because somehow I was a little embarrassed.

"Then stop trying." She told our parents and then she walked away.

"Lisa stay. Don't..." Mom said. She probably was afraid Lisa would take her stuff and leave.

"I'm not leaving, Mom. I just don't see a point in this conversation anymore. Let it go." my sister said and then she walked up the stairs and I saw all of the sadness in her eyes and it reminded me of the stars. Of all the stars that disappear in the morning. I had to stop. She destroyed everything.

"Do you realize what you are doing? You destroy everything. Not only your future and your feelings. You are destroying the whole family. You always say she is the one destroying things. But that's not true." Dad was clearly angry.

"I'm sorry, okay? But what she did was too much. She didn't even apologize."

"Listen. I don't want to hear the same things over and over again. You're out of your mind. I want you to clear things up and make things right. Because if Lisa decides now to move out nobody will ever forgive you. Understood?"

I was shocked. I never expected my Dad to say something like that to me.

"If the situation will only be solved by someone moving out you should think about which one of you should go."

That was enough. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and run up the stairs.

"That was too much" I heard my mother say to my Dad but I didn't turn around. I just threw myself on my bed and hid under my blanket. Okay, maybe they were right. Maybe I should leave but I was fifteen years old. Not old enough for my own apartment.

I looked over to Lisa's bed but she wasn't there. She must have felt the same when I said she should move out. Maybe I went too far. But that's what I feel inside of my head. I can't stop my feelings. They tear me apart. And that's her fault.
