Totally Interconnected

The End

-Have you run out of miniature cows yet?-Lucas, my brother says, invading my room with the boys.

-Shall we watch a movie?-Peyton says, sitting on my bed.

-What abuse!-I push him lightly. She doesn't even do a single little tickle.

-Go, beautiful girls of our hearts...-Johnny says finally, complementing the trio.

-Do what!? They can't live without us! -My cousin Maria lets out her voice next.

Let's go!-Ana kisses John's cheek.

-Uhum!!- Maddie our negativity says discouraged.

-I think I'll stay...-I say, taking the notebook.

-oh no! You're in my house and with my notebook! - Maria takes the device from me.

-Are you throwing it in my face? Alright, I'll go! - I get up.

For dramatic!-He grabs me from behind and I roll my eyes. Payton is literally insufferable.

-Get out of here, you fake!- I say, trying to free myself.- And I'm not dramatic, but sincere!

-It's okay, it's okay..-He says letting me go. -I surrender! -Lie down on the bed again.

-And the dramatic one here is Maddie.- I say lying down on the bed next to Payton and she looks at me with a deadly look.

-I never! You who are contentless.

- State of denial....it's an urgent symptom.- Lucas implies.

-haha. Very funny!- She laughs falsely in his face.

-What a breath...-He whispers.

-Let's go!- Ana gets up, taking John's hand and pulling him.

-Come on! - Maria also makes a point of pulling me along. -Let go of my boyfriend..- she pushes me out of bed.

-Ownn..-Payton says drooling and gives him a peck.

-Disgusting...- I mumble, composing myself.

-What's wrong? Do you want a kiss too?- He teases and I respond with the middle finger.- She's nervous.

-Forget me Payton.

-Impossible.- That's what came out of the boy's lips.

Leave my little sister, she is needy! -My brother says grabbing me from behind and kissing my face.

-"The Kiss of Judas"

-Ewwn...it hurt. -He lets me go and we go watch the movie. Until my little brother appeared in the room.

-Maria?-He calls her.

- Hi? - She says without paying attention. For being hypnotized in the film.

-The aunt is not well! Please come. -He says pulling her with all his little strength and of course we followed. She's my aunt.

-Mom?- She says entering the older girl’s room. But she soon finds herself hitting herself in the face. -MOTHER! FOR. -She runs to her mother and holds her, but my aunt was strong. So the boys went to help. Lyan hugged me tightly and I hugged him back. -Maddie, take the medicine please!-She says trying to remain calm and so does Maddie.

- I don't think so...it had to be here! -She says worriedly. And of course, we all were. We are childhood friends and we know everything about each other.

-Of course she's there.-Ana follows the girl. -You just didn't look properly.- Start looking.

-Obviously I looked carefully.-The other says altered.

-She's right, she's not here!-Ana worries even more.

-Guys! She's heavy! - Lucas complains.

-I'm trying, Ok??- Maddie nervously continues to search with Ana's help. I look around and remember where Uncle Carlos kept it last time. I try to move but Lyan was clinging to me. He was scared and afraid the worst would happen. We love her, I understand. So I pick him up and go to the kitchen as quickly as possible. This was exactly what I remembered:

"I was in the kitchen with Uncle Carlos, helping him prepare the food. Maria was wasting her tears in the bathroom and Lucas was in the living room, distracting the little one in the living room.

- Don't forget...- He says, putting the medicine on top of the fridge. - To avoid problems like this. -He says smiling. My aunt had just taken 20 pills.

-You can leave it.- I smile back."

I jumped to get the medicine, but Lyan's weight was getting in the way. I try again and I can't. After all, Lyan is not a five-year-old child but a ten-year-old. When I saw that she wasn't going to make it, I tried to think of something.

-Lyan?- I call him and make the boy look at me.- Do you see that medicine?- I ask and he nods positively. -We need him urgently! I get up and you take it. Shake your head if you understand.- So Lyan did. -Okay.- I say and lift him up.

-I got it!-He says and I take it down.

-That's it buddy, let's go!-I take the medicine from his hand and put it on my lap again, to the room.-Maria, take it! -Game for the same. He takes and puts a pill in his aunt's mouth. Then give her some water.

-Swallow, mom...- She says and little by little she disappears and I finally hear Maria's sigh of relief. Soon I also heard the boys' voices, finally releasing her.

-Is everything okay?- I ask, whispering to Lyan and he says yes with his head.- It's okay! Come here. -I pull him close to me, kiss his forehead and hug him. Lucas looks at everyone without any sense.

- I am starving!. -He says with a sinister smile, making everyone laugh briefly.- What happened? A handsome, polite young man like me needs to feed. Will I one day need to carry you on my lap? Have you thought about that? It's going to be my muscles.

-If one day there is a need...just one day...you could fall holding someone and taking everyone to the ground.

-You say that because you are jealous of my beauty! Stressed you out. Or is it simply PMS?

-It's actually no money for bail after murdering you in public. Idiot.- We were always fighting. It was common in our circle of friends and family. Everyone knew this and what we least expected was the tragedy that would come next in all of our lives.

Will we be able to get through the tornado? To look at each other and forgive ourselves? All I know is that one day we will get there. In fact, we are totally interconnected by destiny.

And you will know our story completely if you have patience and stomach. Anger and hatred. Love and peace.
