"you're so clumsy!" The little girl giggled as she wrapped the bandages around the boy's arms. His beautiful grey stormy eyes contained tears of pain in them.
"I'm not! I-It was the rock that tripped me.." he whispered as his black curls got in the way of his face.
The little girl with pretty blue diamond eyes held the boy's face and kissed both his teary eyes with a bright smile.
"It's ok! I'll be your nurse!" She said as she held his hands.
He felt warm. His cheeks tinted pink as he stared at the girl in a daze.
That was the day he decided he will be with her forever..
Crash!
Mariella's eyes snapped open. She heard something fragile break outside in the hall. She slipped out of bed carefully and quietly.
She quietly made her way over to her door. She took up one of her old white umbrellas and then peaked outside.
She saw her brother leaning against a wall huffing with a pink flushed face. She opened the door a bit wider.
It was Alejandro leaning against a wall. He looked wasted.
Mariella exited her safe space and went out into the hall. She quietly made her way over to Alejandro.
She stood Infront of him. His dazed green eyes rested on Mariella's thin figure..
Tears grew in his eyes. "M-mom..?" He whispered. When he uttered that word, Mariella couldn't help but flinch. Her eyes widen slightly.
"You're alive..I missed you..y-you might be mad at me..for what I did.." Mariella just stayed quiet watching Alejandro mumble and slur with every word.
"I hurt Mari..very badly..You might hate me for it..but I was too angry..at everything.." Mariella stared at him blankly. She didn't know how to feel.
She just felt numb.
"I-I'm sorry.." those were the last words he whispered before he past out. Mariella catched him in time but she fell over. He was too heavy.
She couldn't help but wonder if he was taking steroids.
She put his arm over her and wrapped her thin arm around his back and helped him to his room.
She opened the door for him and helped him inside. She just pushed him down in the bed making him lay back. She huffed out of exhaustion.
She then turned to leave but felt something or someone took a hold of her hand.
She looked back to see a half closed teary eye Alejandro.
"N-no.. don't go..please.."
Mariella then kneeled down next to Alejandro and ran her hands through his brown curly locks comfortingly like their mother used to do.
The gentle feeling made Alejandro go to sleep.
Mariella then stood up and stared down at his face.
Why the hell was she doing this..?
They didn't care for her. So why should she care for them..?
Mariella felt a familiar feeling growing inside her heart after her little act of kindness.
Regret.

Mariella sighed for the fifth time this morning staring at her reflection. Her light redish blonde hair fell to her waist while she wore a white head band.
