I'm fully awake when I hear my sister's voice on the other end.
"Lily, can we meet?" I'm shocked but totally awake now.
"Where?" I ask her, heading to the bathroom.
"Starbucks. A block from your apartment. Twenty minutes?"
She hangs up before I can say anything more. How strange. I hurry about and get ready. Call Blake and tell him I’m meeting my sister in case he gets back before I do. He doesn't answer, so I leave a message.
I head down the street to see her, wondering how she knew where I've been staying. Maybe Dad told her. Then again, I don't think Dad knows where Blake lives.
I'm ready to walk through the door when my phone rings. It's Blake.
"Hey, Blake. I can't talk long. I'm meeting my sister."
"Where are you?"
He sounds upset. I wonder what's going on.
"Starbucks by the apartment."
"I'm on my way. Don't leave with your sister."
That's weird. I'm standing right in front of her now. She is smiling at me and is acting a little too happy.
"Okay, see you soon."
I hang up and sit down across from her. There is a drink waiting for me.
"I got you your favorite cappuccino," she tells me.
I'm grateful. I need this to wake up. I take a couple of sips and look over at her. She is watching me, doesn't take her eyes off me.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"I know you haven't told our parents about me being the one sleeping with Ted," she gets right to the point.
"I plan on seeing them today and telling them everything."
I take a couple more sips of my drink. Instead of waking me up, it's making me feel bad, almost dizzy. My phone rings again. I go to take it out of my purse, but Violet snatches it from my hands. "You don't need this."
She looks at me with a smile.
"You don't look so good," she says. "We better get out of here before you become sick."
She helps me out of my chair and out the door. I can barely keep my eyes open. I don't know what's going on. I can't keep track of my thoughts. Violet helps me into a car, and then I black out. When I start to wake up, I'm still in the car. We are out in the country. I roll my head to see that Violet is driving us. I wonder where we are going. I want to say something, but I can't talk. I fall back asleep.
I wake up again. This time, I'm lying across the hood of a car. We are at the summer cabin. I always enjoyed coming here. I wonder why Violet brought me out here.
Someone is in the boat house. I don't see Violet. I struggle to sit up on the hood of the car. What is wrong with me? Why am I so sleepy?
I hear cars approaching and look down the road. There are flashing lights. I don't know why they are here. Did something happen? It's too much for my brain to handle right now. I lie back on the hood. Maybe one of them will tell me what's going on. I fall back asleep.
