Standing on the balcony, chatting with Aaron, mug of hot chocolate tightly warming up her hands, Mia stopped to hear inside. ‘Did you hear that?’ she asked as she craned her neck into the direction of the doorway. ‘I think Mel has is in the lounge...’ she said lowering her voice. With a nod of her head, she walked inside to see Mellie leaning over the chair, ‘Are you okay?’ Mia asked stepping forward slowly and walking around the chair to face Mel and take her hands. Mel nodded, ‘My back is hurting a lot. I think Nugget knows something is going on...’ she said, her voice trailing off. Mia nodded, as glanced at Aaron.
Mia was never one for love. But she had witnessed first-hand the last five years that Malaki and Mellie had spent together. At times it even made Mia cringe, groan and pretend to gag in the company of others. Now, she’d do anything to make her sister smile again. Hearing Mellie cry was the worst of the worst. The sobs were so gut-wrenching that it made Mia want to clamp her hands over her ears and just block out all sounds.
The whole situation made Mia think though; the next day could be her last. She was going to have to start living that way too.
