April hummed softly to herself as she moseyed around Coal's market. Snacks, that is what was on her mind. They had plenty of food at the house but no snacks. And everyone knows that is what a girl truly needs; especially with periods coming around. She craned her neck to look around the isle as her hand darted out and knocked random chocolate into her hand held basket. "Peeps?!" April squeaked, recognizing her favorite holiday candy. Hurriedly, she scooped them into her basket then was off onto a new aisle.

The hair care aisle, just what April needed; more hair dye. If she bought more hair dye she would need a can of beer. A big can of beer and dye was a ritual for April. She would apply the nose hair burning concoction then sip down a beer while waiting for it to set. Her eyes traveled up to her now dirty blonde hair, her natural hair color. Swishing around air in her mouth she thought for awhile. With the clap of her hands it was decided that she was gonna buy dye.

April browsed the aisle for well over thirty minutes; trying to choose between burnt sienna and organic black. After setting the box down then picking it back up she chose burnt sienna. April chucked it into the basket and sprinted to the beer aisle, quickly she grabbed the tallest can she could find. Buying beer was always easy for April, she would say it was for her brother. Travis did drink... some. She shook her head then finished getting snacks.

April sauntered up to the register and promptly laid out all her items. While the annoyed looking cashier rang her up she dug around in her purse for her wallet. "The beer is for my brother, he's bed ridden with disease." April sniffled then wiped her eye as the cashier quickly nodded and swiped the beer. She smiled internally at her easy lying skills. Finally, finding her wallet she whipped it out and paid with cash. "Thank you." April chirped and picked up her small bag of items.

" . . . "

Cecile sighed as she pulled into the parking lot of Coal's market. She was heading to check on her boss, who had a vampire that needed a little more help then what was required. She sighed as the car slowly crept to a stop and choked off. Cecile swore she would get a new car but as long as this beat up Pontiac worked what was the point. She shrugged away her car problems and climbed out of the car after grabbing her wallet and stuffing it in her jeans. It was easier then carrying a freaking big bag or what ever size she needed.

Cecile locked her door and turned to go inside till she saw her sister. April. Cecile could not help but stared at her. what was she doing? shouldn't she be in school? school did not let out till at least 3:25, well as far as she knew. What was to day anyway? Gosh she couldn't remember what day of the week it was to save her. Cecile turned her head slightly and push back her brown hair. better play it cool. "April!" Cecile sighed and remembered she had not seen her sister in a few days, due to her job. in fact she could not remember the last time she saw her was. this only made Cecile upset, at her self. What kind of sister ignored her own little sister? a bad and forgetful kind. Cecile.

Cecile's eye looked down to see the beer and then looked at April. "Your not old enough to be drinking." Cecile knew better then to just assume things but she wasn't about to listen in on April's thoughts to clear her own suspicions. That was wrong and Cecile knew it. Cecile stared her little sister down and then started in with the lecture. "Do not even think about taking that home! Travis may allow you to drink but I sure wont!!" Cecile looked at April and then held her hand out. "Hand it over!" she barked as she stood there.

April openly skipped out of the store, happy to have her ritual set in motion. A good beer always calmed her nerves and lately she had been stressed. She sighed contentedly as the fresh air filled her lungs, freedom. Nothing felt better then walking home on a cloudy Friday. Sure there was school, but who needed education, life was all the education this girl needed; or wanted. Happily she kicked a rock out of her path and laughed.

The laughed quickly turned in to a frown when she heard Cecile scream her name. "Really? Are you serious here?" April grumbled to herself and walked at a snail's pace in Cecile's direction. It's been almost two weeks since I've seen you and you want to show up when I HAVE BEER! She was now a pissed off teenager, she had half a mind to run off in the other direction. Travis would surely laugh and give her applause for having the guts. But Cecile knew where she lived and that was bad.

"Cecile..." April muttered, fidgeting nervously in front of her sister. Immediately Cecile looked in the bag. "It's just one really tall beer." April said, hotly. Her plans for tonight were ruined. "I only drink one every time I dye my hair. Which is not a lot." She lied, slightly. her sister was staring her down and April was buckling under the pressure. "Fine! Once every four or five weeks! So what?!" She screeched, turned her gaze away from her controlling sister.

April scoffed at Cecile's order. "No, Cecile. It's mine. I bought it, Travis doesn't care. And it's not you're around to see me drink it." April was pulling the guilt card, she hoped it would work. "You know..." she started, but had to turn her back to Cecile to continue. "You know, I don't see you for two weeks then ALL OF A SUDDEN you want to waltz back and boss me around. Travis let's me, and he's there! I don't get drunk" Three lies today, April, you're on a roll. She thought. "If you're gonna take my beer at least be there. I only see you at work, and that's what, tens hours a week?"

A fake tear slid down April's cheek, some of the words she was saying were eccentric lies but with some truth to them. She turned back to face her sister. "Take it. Take the beer. I'll just go drown my sorrows in a pillow." April held the bag open for Cecile to take the beer. She wished and prayed furiously that Cecile would feel guilty and let her keep it. She needed it for her plans.

" But let's not ask why it's not right, You won't be seventeen forever !! "

Cecile was taken back by April's sudden out burst. But more shocking she played the guilt trip. Cecile sighed and looked away. as her sister defended her self. she was lying, and she didn't even have to read her mind to know she was. Travis was a bad influence on April and they both knew it.

Cecile sighed and stuffed her hands in her pockets. Honestly Cecile did not expect April to just hand it over so easily and apart of her really did want to take it, but the sister side of her just could not do it. Cecile decided to go for the 'i made a mistake' line rather then take her party away. she leaned into look at the can and laughed lightly. "Oh man." she sighed deeply and leaned back. "I can not believe that i would mistake a can of beer for an energy drink." Cecile smiled lightly and then scratched her head. she knew she looked like a fool but she couldn't help it, it was April, and despite the fact that she was under age Cecile valued their relationship more then her sister's liver and or her own record.

"About being gone..." She started. "You know I bet if you ask Daniel he would take you up to Shreveport, when your hair is done, to see some vampires or even me." Cecile knew April's obsession with vampires was greater then hers and not only that Daniel did not know Cecile had been called to Shreveport so when he finds out he would instantly rush up there, giving April a free ride and a body guard, which made Cecile happy. Cecile smiled and then looked at April. "That is if you really want. I have to go meet with a vampire from North Carolina and discuss somethings, but i am sure he would not mind if you showed up to see your sister." Cecile emphasized the last part as if that was not the real reason.

April waited patiently for Cecile to take the beer and begin lecturing her. So you can imagine her surprise when her sister shoved her hands into her pocket. "Y-you're-" April stuttered but was cut off by Cecile. An energy drink? Maybe she's going loco. She thought. Then it hit her, Cecile was going to let her keep the beer.

April smiled inwardly and placed the beer back into the bag. Travis would surely reward her for giving Cecile the guilt trip and winning. April felt a tad bit guilty, saying those things to her sister. Even though they didn't see much of each other, Cecile was family. April was pulled out of her thoughts by the name, Daniel. "What?! You think he would take me up there?! I would get to ride in a car with a vampire?" She was shaking with excitement. "Do you really think he would? I haven't even met him, officially. Will he bite me?" She rambled on and on. "Of course I want to go! Vampires, Cile! Vampires!" April blubbered. She could not get over the fact the her sister was allowing her to meet vampires. As much as she loved them April had never met one. This was an accomplishment for the books.

April sucked in a calming breath and exhaled. "This is a huge favor, how can I repay you? I mean, I'll do your laundry." She said in a more relaxed tone. "Oh, maybe you should give me Daniel's number. You know, so I can call and tell him." April was wearing a huge grin and she bounced in place. Who needs beer when you have vampires? She thought, looking down at the now less meaningful can. After a few moments April took a long look down the path that she would have to walk down to get home. "Hey, you want to give me a ride home?" Her brow raised so high it disappeared into her blonde locks.

" But let's not ask why it's not right, You won't be seventeen forever !! "

Cecile did not expect for her to get that excited. Cecile smiled at her self and then sighed. "I need to pick a few things up before i go up to Shreveport. if you can wait i do not mind taking you home Daniel should be getting up in about five-ish." Cecile had never told April he slept in the basement for particular reasons. the girl was obsessed! and Daniel did not want her to know.

Cecile smiled and looked at April. "You can sit in the car if you like." Cecile flashed her keys and started to walk back to the car. She smiled to her self. she was pleased, rather pleased with her self. in fact she was so pleased that she was positive that April's plans to drink that beer was no longer an option, and the is called being a good sister. Cecile smiled more as she opened the door and then turned to April. "I'll be back." she smiled and walked into the store.

Cecile smiled a little more and continued on to the frozen foods isle. she needed dinner for to night. Cecile stared at the selection moving only slightly every so often.

"No, I don't mind at all." April murmured. She nodded fiercely when Cecile suggested sitting in the car. It would give April a chance to get started on her hair. Don't need no water to dye hair. April followed Cecile back to her car like a lost puppy. She surely looked like one, her eyes were as big as plates and she was wearing a shit eating grin. April climbed in through the open door and sighed happily. "See you soon." She cooed. She waited until her sister was a safe distance away from the car and cracked open her beer. "Party... time!" April chirped between swigs.

A few minutes later April had everything laid out, her beer was resting in the cup holder while mixed the hair dye around in the little cup. Once the mixture was blended together she slipped the gloves on and scooped up a big glob of dye. April smeared the dye into her hair until every strand was covered. Now we wait. In the mean time April threw the contents of the hair dye box back in the bag; it smelt like hell. She kicked up her feet on the dashboard and took long, slow sips of beer. As long as Cecile was in the store she would drink. It would help calm her nerves for the up coming events. April placed the hand holding the beer out the window and felt the cool breeze swirl around it. It felt nice, a smile graced her lips as she relaxed. Her head tilted back slightly; she was careful not to touch the headrest with her hair, though.

" But let's not ask why it's not right, You won't be seventeen forever !! "

Cecile sighed as she closed her eyes. Frozen dinners were over rated but who was she to really complain about them. as she walked dwon the isle of chips and cookies she thought to her self. life was lonely and she really needed a little something more. She sighed deeply and decied she was being to emotional for just one person. she grabbed a small package of cookies and went off to check out.

April was most likely sipping on her beer, if she knew her sister it would take her too long to crack that sucker open. Cecile smiled at her self, she really hated to admit when it came to her little sister she was a big softie. she smiled at the chashier who instantly recconized her. "Cecile! Oh my lord I just saw your sister, she was buting a drink for your brother." Cecile rasied her eye brows as she looked the chashier in the eyes. "Oh iI can't believe them two can still smile knowing Travis could die any minute." Cecile smiled a little more and swipped her card being sure not to say anything. The chashier smiled and wished Cecile well as she walked out of the store.

Cecile sighed lightly as she walked to her car. "Couldn't wait could you?" Cecile laughed lightly, placing the bags in the back seat. She noted the open beer and chose to ignore it. it would be better that way besides she need to make up for not being around. Cecile put her seat belt on, started the car, and waited for April to close her door and buckle up. Cecile's number one rule. no belt, no moving. Cecile smiled at April and then wrinckledher nose. "That is a horrid smell."

It had been a few minutes since Cecile had went into the store and April was starting to feel the buzz from the beer and dye. Her fingers twitched as they ached to scratch her itchy scalp. "Cile better hurry the fuck up. I need water STAT!" She said to herself, then began sucking in long, slow, breaths. It was something to distract her from the fact that her head was on fire. Quickly lifting the can to her mouth she gulped down more then half of it. "That was what I need." She breathed.

April cried out joyously when she saw Cecile's familiar figure striding over to the car. "Shit girl, hurry up! My hair is falling out!" She yelled at her sister, forcing a smile even though she was in pain. April saw her eyes stare at the open beer but her sister said nothing. April let out a sigh and tossed the can and the rest of it's contents. "Nope couldn't wait, now come on." April was bouncing in her seat by the time Cecile got situated in the car. She sat there, hands on the wheel and looking at April expectantly. "Oh!" In a rush she clicked on her seat belt. She ignored the comment about the smell and chose to go back to deep breathing.

The car ride home was unbearable! April tried everything to sooth her burning scalp, even holding her head out the window. Nothing work. Before Cecile had even stopped the car April jumped out and was half way inside. "Ahhh!" She screeched, running into the first room with a sink that she saw. Shoving her head under the facet she moaned as the ice cold water washed away her pain. It took a few moments to realize that she was in the kitchen. "So this is what it feels like to be a dish. Looking up at the world." April mused.

Now that her hair was washed and dried April want to see the finished product. Instead of the burnt sienna color she had bought her hair was now a reddish brown, almost toffee. "Hey, Cecile?!" April called from her room. She ran her fingers through her hair, making various faces and poses. "I like it." She mumbled. "Cecile! Come here!" She hollered hotly.

" But let's not ask why it's not right, You won't be seventeen forever !! "

Cecile was enjoying the ride home. she laughed internally at April as she slowed down. it was all i good teasing and the best way to get at her for illegally drinking. Cecile smiled and stepped on the gas. Cecile stayed quiet for the most part and slowly pulled into the drive way she gasped lightly when April jumped out of the car and ran into the house. it was a good thing they lived across the street from a cemetery other wise Cecile was have to give April a new key. Cecile smiled and stopped for a moment to close April's door.

Cecile laughed as she watched April run into the house, screaming more or less. She laughed a little more and parked the car after pulling forward a little. there was a small cooler in the back seat of her car for particular things like her frozen dinners, it was a handy thing to have. Cecile smiled as she placed her food into the cooler. she laughed a little more and then walked into the house. She trotted up stairs and sighed lightly at the fact that the sun was going down. Cecile pulled her phone out and stared at it.

"Cecile! Come here!" April's voice rang out threw the house and Cecile ran out of her room. She huffed lightly when she realized April wanted to show off her hair. she smiled lightly and looked at her. "Its.. an odd color. makes me want some coffee." Cecile was joke of course but she was being truthful.

April glared at Cecile before rummaging through her drawers. “You want to do me a favor?” She questioned while plunging in her straightened and set it carelessly on her dresser. Before Cecile could answer April ran out of the room and downstairs. A few moments later she came back dragging a chair from the kitchen table. She plopped down and sighed. “Straighten my hair?” April turned and gave her sister the pouty look. “If we‘re gonna see vampires later I need to look like food.” She whispered, hoping Cecile didn‘t hear.

April clapped her hands loudly as Cecile came to stand behind her. She smiled when her sister began to straighten her hair. “So, when are you leaving for Shreveport?” She questioned, trying to feign indifference. “You know so Daniel can be angry then drive me up there.” April giggled and glanced up at Cecile. “I‘m happy to be spending time with you. Travis can be… mean at times.” A lot of the time She thought darkly. Reaching up April lightly patted her sister on the arm. She truly was happy to be hanging out with Cecile. Travis was not the nicest person in the world.

Suddenly the grumble of April stomach made her laugh. "Wait a second." Hopping up she ran over to her dresser and open the snack drawer. Rapidly she dug through it and pulled out a packet of gummy snacks and cookies. April plopped back down in and chair and nodding, signalling for her sister to continue.
