Everday after school,I would go see Sam,my older brother at the greenhouse,where he'd spend most of the day.Sam was seen all over Bailey Downs,normally known as the Guru of the Drugs.He wasn't an addict or an alcoholic.Nor was he abusive.He just knew his stuff.I walked through the glass doors and past the plants he set up into his backroom.He was reading again.
"Hey Sam."I said,throwing my backpack in the corner.
"Oh hey Jess."he smiled"How was school?"
"Same as usual."I said
"What cha working on?"
"Oh nothing big,"he said"But did you see the news today?"
"No."I said"What happened?"
"Another neighborhood dog was killed today,and I ran one over."
"I heard.Baxter,right?"I asked
"Yeah,the Fitzgerald sisters live near the owner from what I know."
"What about the other one?"
"Probably the so-called wolf in town."he guessed
"Things have been so weird in school."I said
"Like what?"Sam asked
"Ginger totally changed.She beat the shit out of that Trina."I said
Trina was Sam's ex0girlfriend.I'm glad he dumped her.She was a bitch.And the thought that we would be related if they got married made me sick.
"Jason told me about that."he said
"Sam.."I said
"Yes?"he asked
"You'll protect me,won't you?"I asked
"You know I'll always look out for you and protect you."he said,stroking my hair."You are my little sister,and I care about you.I'll never let anyone hurt you.They'll have to go through me."
I smiled and gave Sam a hug.It's funny really.You'd never think if you saw us together we always liked each other.Sam and I were constant foes when we were growing up.But that all changed when,Lance,our step-brother was tragically killed by a drunk driver,when he was coming home from college.Our father died shortly after his struggle with cancer,and our mother abandoned us.Sam became my gaurdian and my protecter.We put the past behind us,and the love we held back came out.We looked out for each other.But we had problems to deal with.Sam didn't have a real job,and I couldn't get one because of my age.We were at risk of losing the house,but Sam was planning ahead.He was planning on moving us into the greenhouse.We pretty much had everything we needed.Sam and I would share a room,like we did at the hotel we were at when we your little.Sam was looking into gettin another bed for me,if we did move into the greenhouse,or a couch that would flip out into a bed.Sam was such a nice guy.I sometime forget why we hated each other.Sam was my only friend I could talk to about anything.Well,yeah I had Brigette and Ginger,but I felt like they never understood what was in my head.I let Sam finish up and I went out for a walk.
I found Brigette and Ginger at the feild an hour later on the blechers.Talking about whatever they were.
"Hey guys."I waved
"Hey Jess."they said
"Whats going on?"I asked
"A lot of shit Jessie,trust me."Ginger said,almost in an irate tone.Ginger had been acting strange lately.I wasn't sure why.I didn't want to upset her either.
"Like what?"I asked
"You don't want to know Jess."Brigette said
Ginger had the strangest look in her eyes.She rubbed her eyes and sighed,she sounded weak.
"Look 'B',I'm gonna go home."Ginger said,"I don't feel so great all of a sudden."
"Be careful."Brigette said
"I'll be fine."she said
Ginger walked down the sidewalk and vanished.
"Is she okay?"I asked
"She's had the flu lately,"Brigitte said"She's been tyring to fight it off for a while.But she's okay."
"'B',whats going on?"I asked"I mean,you live with Ginger.She's been acting so...strange lately.And rumors are everywhere.I feel like you guys are lying to me."
"They're just rumors."she explained"Everything is fine."
I could feel that she was hiding something.Maybe it was personal.But I didn't want to get invovled.We had problems to deal with already,and I didn't want to make anything worse.But our problems would get worse.
