Ghosts of the Past Chapter 7

Kate

"What's wrong Dante ?!" I asked. "...I confessed to Sienna." He said. "You did what?!" I was shocked. He didn't say a word. "Tell me all the details." I demanded. "I was walking her to her apartment, she said that she had a lot of fun with me..." he was saying. "I don't need, all the details, all the details." I interrupted. "Oh, I told her that I loved her, more like in love with her... She said she liked me, but she cant love me the way I do." He said.

"Doesn't that mean that there is still hope? That she might love you someday." I wondered. "I asked her that... She said that she's not capable of love and that it would never happen." He replied. "That's harsh." I commented. "I told her I would wait for her, and that she'll come around. She kissed me and said 'you'll be waiting forever then.'" He explained. "Can you repeat what you just said?" I asked.

"I told her I would wait for her, and that she'll come around." He said. "Not that the next part." I demanded. "She kissed me and..." He was saying. "You mean like on your cheek?" I interrupted. I just can't imagine Seinna kissing anyone otherwise. "No! A... French kiss." His face went red. "You're laying!!" I was absolutely shocked. "I'm not." He said.

I believe that was the day that Sienna started changing. That was 7 months ago. Our attempt to return Sienna to her sanity have failed. We're back in Spain Dulce came to visit. She feels more like family than a fan. She also has a crush on Sienna.

Sarah, wanted to play board games so we all joined in. We played monopole, Life, poker, and Guess who... But it was too early to call it a night. "Let's play truth or dare then." Aseel suggested. "Boring..." Sienna complained as she was walking away. "Who said you can bail?!" Sarah stopped her. "And who said, you get to tell me what to do?" Sienna replied. "Sienna, three rounds if you get bored by then... Your free to leave." I said. "She sat back down.

We spun the bottle and it was Sienna to ask and Aseel to answer. "Truth or Dare." Sienna said. "Dare." Aseel replied. I think she was trying to make it more interesting for Sienna to stay. "Strip." She smirked. Sarah looked irritated. I've never seen her like that before. Aseel took of her cloths. She kept her underwear on though.

The bottle was spun again I get to ask and Dulce was to answer. "Truth or Dare." I asked. "Truth." Dulce said. "Name the person you have a crush on." I asked, I knew the answer but I wanted to see how Sienna would react. "S...Sienna." Dulce's face went red. Sienna, chuckled. "You should've said something earlier." She kissed Dulce. Not the reaction I was expecting, but it sure made me laugh.

The bottle was spun again Sienna gets to ask and I was on the answering end. "Truth or dare." She asked. "Truth." I replied. "Tell us, your ex boyfriend's full name." She said. I said truth because I didn't want to do something as extreme as what she made Aseel do, yet this feels worst. "Tariq Saqer xxx" I replied.

"No... No... No" Aseel shouted. There is only one guy in the country with this name and it's her brother. "Now this is interesting." Sienna said. "Sienna, get out of here now." Sarah demanded. "I think I'll staying." Sienna replied. "Your three rounds are over... Please leave." I backed up Sarah. "Wanna come with Dulce?" Sienna asked. Dulce nodded and they went to Sienna's room.

Now I have to face the storm. "Did you touch my little brother?!" Aseel shouted. "Don't you think, your making a big deal out of this? He broke up with me over a year and a half ago." I shrugged. "I just wanna know, what the hell were you thinking?" She demanded. "I'm not gonna talk about it, ask your brother if you wanna know anything." I left to my room. "Seel, it's not that weird that he dated her since she's only 4 years older than him." Sarah said.

I was upstairs near Sienna's room. "... like would you be happy if I slept with you?" Sienna said. "Yeah, it would!" Dulce said. My face went red, dulce is way too bold. I went to my room.

Sarah

"It is weird we used to live together you know." She said. "It doesn't mean they did anything back then." I replied. She frowned. "I don't know why your making such a big fuss about it..." I complained. "He's my little brother, Sarz." She defended her action. "I know, but it happened so long ago." I insisted. "So, what now? Should I just forget about it?" She asked.

"Yeah, just focus on the present." I handed her her cloths. "Why do you look so upset?" She asked."I'm not, I wanna go kill Sienna though..." I murmured. "Wait a minute. Is that about the dare?" She asked. "Not really... Well partly." I replied. "You know she's not mentally stable right now." She defended. I got irritated.

"That doesn't mean I should tolerate her actions." I raised my voice. "Sarah, calm down... Please." She calmly said. I calmed myself down, she kissed me. "Don't talk to Sienna for few days." She said. "Okay." I kissed her back. We were still in the living room. "Would you like to undress me now?" She whispered. I think asking her to put her cloths on actually offended her.

She sat on my lap facing me. "Always a pleasure." I whispered in her ear. Her ears went red along with her face and I haven't even touched her yet. "Bye girls." Dulce said as she left the house. "I think we should go to bed." I suggested. Aseel nodded.

Kate

"Kate..." Sienna was knocking on my bedroom door. "What?" I opened the door. "I'm sorry about earlier." She said. "Don't worry about it." I replied. "What are you doing?" She asked. "I was shredding, then you came here." I said. "I wanna listen." She replied. "It's gonna be loud though." I hesitated. "I see tomorrow during practice then." She said. "Sure." I nodded. "would you sleep next to me tonight?" She asked. "No." I replied. "Pretty please..." She insisted with those puppy eyes. "Fine." I sighed.

I turned off the amplifier and went to her room. "Your room is surprisingly clean." I commented. "Thank you." She replied. She went and laid in bed. I noticed the gift bag that the fan gave Sienna the other day. "Sienna." I said. When I looked at her she was already asleep. I looked inside the bag there was an opened cookie jar and an unopened letter.

I read the letter before I went to sleep. I don't know why Sienna didn't read the letter but I'm sure it would make her happy. When I woke up the next morning, Sienna wasn't in bed and I can hear the water running from the bathroom.

Sienna

When I opened my eyes I was laying in a hospital bed. My throat was dry. I saw Kate and My brother Tariq there. "Water." I murmured. Kate brought me some water. Tariq was still silent. He held my hand when Kate left the room. He didn't look at me yet. "Thank god your alive." He said. I petted his head.

"Sienna..." He whimpered. "I'm sorry, I haven't been there for you the way I should've been. I'm so sorry... I know I've failed you, but that doesn't mean you get to die on me." He met my gaze, and his eyes were red filled with tears. "... Don't bail on me."

I didn't know what to say. I didn't think anyone would miss me when I'm gone. "Say something anything...." He choked. I looked away. "Sienna, you need help... You need to talk to someone about whats going on with you..." He was saying. "What's going on with me?!" I interrupted. "You know I've always got your back." He shrugged.

"I know." I replied. "I know it's not just what happened earlier this year with Razan, it started since you were 7. It's already been so long, talk about it already." He said. "I don't wanna talk about it." I replied. "You have to, you won't get over it otherwise, isn't Aseel a psychologist?" He asked. "She is, but I won't talk to her." I said. "Why not?" He got confused. "I'll talk to someone else about it." I shrugged.

"Okay then..." He said. After a little while Kate came back with Sarah and Aseel. "I just spoke with the doctor and he said you have to stay here for two more days and you have to talk to a shrink before they release you." Kate explained. "Not gonna happen." I grinned. "Sienna we just spoke about this." Tariq said. "I didn't agree on a shrink, I said I'll talk to someone." I argued.

"Eh, like that's gonna work out... I've been trying to get anything out of you for months now." Kate complained. "Kate it's more than you think, so leave her be." Tariq said. "Sienna, you can talk to me if you like." Aseel offered. "Thanks for the offer." I replied. "Btw we informed Razan of what had happened." Sarah said. "You shouldn't have done that... It's not good for her pregnancy." I replied.

"She didn't mention that she was pregnant." Aseel was confused. "She's not the kind to share." I replied as we heard knocking on the door. I couldn't see who was behind the door. "It's Dante." Kate said, and went to open the door for him. "What have you done, Sienna?" Dante shouted. "Can you all just leave I need to sleep." I shrugged and hid under the cover.

"Hey Dante, calm down." Kate said as they left. When I lifted the cover Tariq was still there. "What do you need to make you feel better?" He asked. "Bring me my bass and laptop." I replied. He nodded then left the room. The nurses came in short after and gave me some pills to help me sleep.

Kate

"I never thought she would do something like that." He said. "You should've tuned it down a little, her brother was there." I replied. "I couldn't help it." He whimpered. I wrapped my arms around him. "She's okay... It's gonna be okay." I tried to comfort him. "I was so scared, when I heard." He said.

"We all were." I replied.

Aseel

Sarah seemed bothered by something, I didn't ask about it though. As soon as we were alone, "Aseel, please... Don't do anything like that again." She said. I was a bit confused, so I didn't reply. "Darling, are you with me?" She asked. I nodded. "I told you before I don't want you to be alone with her." She finally explained.

"I was just being nice... She said she'll never talk to a shrink, remember?" I defended my actions. "... I just can't shake off the thought." She murmured as she walked away. "Sarz, back then was just an accident." I said. "The more your alone with her, the chances of accidents will increase." She said.

"Trust me, I won't allow it." I surely said. "It's her I can't trust." She left.

Sienna

My next day at the hospital...

Tariq handed me my laptop. "I'm sorry, they wouldn't let me bring the bass." He said. "It's okay, thank you." I replied. He was about to sit, "don't stay... I wanna be left alone." I demanded. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Yeah, go." I replied. So he left. I turned on the laptop and sat there till it opened. I logged into my email and wrote for Razan.

Dear Razz,

It's been a while since I last mailed you... I hope you're doing alright. I hope you weren't alarmed by the news you've heard. I believe they've exaggerated. As you can see I'm writing you this email, so I'm fine.
I meant to email you sooner but I didn't get the chance. I wanted to apologize for my behavior when we last met. I didn't mean to take it out on you... The doctors here want me to speak to a shrink and Tariq think so too. I... I don't know how to handle this. He said I should talk to someone about that time back when we were 7... I don't even wanna remember it. The only thing I kept dear to me from that time is you. You saved me back then and I took an oath to protect you the way you did for me. I tried my best to satisfy your needs. Your smile made my life worth while. Though as you became the center of my world... All you seemed to see was me. It made me happy, though I feared your heart my break if something were to happen to me. I feared loneliness for you. I tried to get you to have more friends. Then you drafted away. My life is meaningless without you, and we both know that. Even though I've failed you, I dare say I need to see you again.

I'm sorry...

I miss you

Yours Truly, Sie.

While I was sending the email Kate came in. "Sienna, I know you wanted to be left alone. However I meant to give you this yesterday, but I had to calm Dante down and lost track of time." She said and handed me an open latter envelop. "What is this?" I wondered. "It's a latter from a fan, the girl that gave you home made cookies..." She was saying.

"I remember her, she was a good kisser." I teased. Kate's face went red. "Read it will you." She shrugged. "Will do." I replied. "Btw Dante is really worried about you, talk to him sometime." She said as she was leaving.

I opened the latter and started reading. Tears filled my eyes as I finished. I owe it to my fans to live... I just realized that now. I cried myself to sleeping thinking what a horrible think I've done.
