SHOP TILL WE DROP [DETTA]

[anthony samuel costello]

anthony was hanging out with couple of his friends at one of his friend's house. pretty much all they did was drinking and playing some video games. he was bored that he decided to text his step sister and was wondering what she was doing. he miss talking to her, even though they spend hours talking to each other every single day. you can't blame the guy for caring about his step sister. he doesn't know why his sister hate him and detta so much. tony and his sister were always so close ever since they were little but when their mom married detta's father, their relationship grew apart. he became closer to his step sister and that always bugs his little sister. now, they don't talk to each other.

after spending almost an hour of texting vendetta back and forth, they decided to hang out today. he said goodbye to couple of his friends and walked out of the house. he took his car keys from his pocket and unlock his car door. he got inside and turn on the engine. he put on his seatbelt and put the car on reverse. he got out of the parking lot and drove to vendetta's dorm. the drive from his friend's house to vendetta's dorm room took about ten minutes. he finally arrived and put the car on park, not turning the engine. he took his phone out from his pocket and send a quick text to detta. hey, i'm already outside. -sammy. he press the send button and put his phone back in his pocket. after waiting for about five minutes, vendetta finally came out and notice her walking toward his car. he notice she got inside the car and shook his head while putting the car in drive. what took you so long? he teased with a little grin, putting the car on drive.

after driving about fifteen minutes from vendetta's dorm to the mall, they finally arrived. tony looked around for a parking and luckily he notice a black car leaving the parking lot. he waited patiently for the car to leave, so he could park. he parked his car where the other car was and put it on park, turning off the engine. he got out of the car, closing his door. he walk over to vendetta's side while she was getting out. they both walk toward the mall entrance. once they walked inside, he look over at his step sister. so, where do you wanna go shop at? he said.

Detta

[/color] said her goodbye to caleb before humming her way back to her dorm after having receiving texts from her brother, skipping along the way. she had been pretty angry with him going along with people teasing about her and caleb, but at the end of the day, he was still her brother and she had to forgive him because she always teased him about hannah. so it was only fair that she eventually forgave him. then again, she was a forgiving person, so it sort of helped the matter. she didn't know why it got her so riled up though. maybe it was because they were talking about how caleb was in love with her, but that couldn't be possible because she was just his best friend. if anything. she was the one in love with him. not that she would ever tell anyone. not even annie knew that she had fallen for caleb. she wasn't about to let anyone know that she was madly in love with her best friend. they would never let her live it down. plus, it wasn't like caleb would like her back that way anyways. he couldn't. not with a girl like her. at least not with one that was dying.

She slipped inside, peering for her roommates, but it seemed she was the only one back first again. she giggled a little, rummaging her closet for a change of clothes so she could go out shopping with her brother. it had been a while since she's last seen him, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she missed him. a lot. she smiled, humming a christmas tune as she took out her jeans and tank top before the pain in the side of her stomach started hurting again. it had just started as a dull throb. nothing she couldn't usually handle. her left hand immediately clutched her side, bending over a little, trying to ease the pain. she inhaled and exhaled deeply, hoping the breathing exercises the doctor had taught her would work. her right hand clenched tightly against the fabric of her jeans, squeezing her eyes shut, tears brimming dangerously, threatening to fall. but the breathing didn't work. the pain only got worse and more unbearable. she crouched down, nails still digging against her skin as she curled into a ball, her ass nearly touching the floor. her hands reached for her bag shakily, rummaging through it for the meds her doctors had given her.

The pain was making it hard for her to find her pain medications. it was like a constricting pain. contracting and constricting, like someone was trying to rip her apart inside out. her fingers circled around the bottle, fumbling to get a proper hold on it, pouring out the pills against the palm of her hand. she tipped the pills on her palm back, swallowing it down forcefully. she dumped the bottle back in her bag, wiping the tears from her face as she took a look at the new text she had just received from her brother. she swallowed hard and forced herself up, making her body to change clothes despite the pain that was still throbbing at her side, poking her insistently. she slipped on her shoes slowly, grabbing her bag as she made her way towards sammy. each step sent another sharp shooting pain, but she ignored it and kept walking, forcing a big smile on her face as she slid in the front passenger seat of the car. "sorry sammy! i decided to go take a shower last minute!"[/b] she lied with a giggle, sticking her tongue out at him. she hummed along to the radio as anthony drove towards the mall, finding a parking spot almost immediately. she shrugged with a giggle, "anywhere! oooh! i need to find christmas presents for your sister and kelsey!" she exclaimed, hooking an arm around his, trying to ignore the throbbing.

detta and sammy got along well since they've met at the family dinner. even though, he wasn't excited about having a new sister. well, that's what he was feeling on the inside when he heard the news about his mom getting marry again. he wasn't happy when his mom told him because he didn't want to through another painful divorce again. he does want his mom to be happy, but he thought she was going a little too fast. he has enough trouble with his own little sister and thought detta would be the same but thankfully she wasn't.

while waiting for his sister to come, he send hannah a quick message. he then notice his sister getting inside the car, sliding in the passenger seat. he heard detta's excuse and took a quick glance at her. he was wondering why she would take a last minute shower if she knew he was on his way. besides, it look like she didn't shower. he didn't felt like agruing with her about one silly thing, so he shrug his shoulders and drove off to the mall. all right then. whatever you say. he said.

walking around the mall with his sister walking beside him, having her arm around his and thinking which store to go first for his mom. he doesn't know what she wants. as for his sister, that's another thing. why are you gonna buy my sister a christmas present if she treats you awful? he asked, wondering why she would buy something for her. he knows that detta and his sister doesn't get along too well, ever since their parents got married. sometimes sammy is stuck in the middle between their problems. he doesn't like picking which sister is his favorite. besides, she's on the naughty list. i should know. santa told me last weekend. we had milk and couple of your chocolate chip cookies that you had saved inside the refrigerator. he teased, laughing with a smile. sammy has been secretly eating her cookies behind her back and blaming his sister. you can't blame a brother for liking his sister's cookies.

as for my mom, i don't know. do you know what she want for christmas? he asked, wondering what his mom likes. sammy hasn't even done his christmas shopping yet. he's the type of person who does his christmas shopping at the last minute. he look over at his sister and notice something was wrong by the look on her face. are you okay detta? he asked, worrying about his sister.

She

[/color] was the girl everyone loved no matter how much you wanted to hate her. she was also the girl that loved everyone from the bottom of her heart no matter how awful they were. until she met her step sister. when her dad had first mentioned that he was seeing someone, detta had been rather angry with him. no, not angry. she had felt betrayed that he could love some other woman that wasn't her mom. so perhaps her mom had left them when she was just ten and never bothered to contact her or even so much as acknowledged her existence, but she was still her mother, and detta still loved her dearly. she wanted to be just like her mom and then her dad goes ahead and announces that he was seeing another woman. he had told her that he would always hold a special place for her mom, but now there was space for someone else. but, she wasn't too happy about that. she didn't want a new woman in her life- especially one that had taken her father's heart. but the more he brought her home for dinner, the more she warmed up to kelsey.

However, she hadn't met kelsey's children until the wedding day. of course, meeting new family was always a scary thing to experience at first. having a new mom wasn't exactly the thing detta wanted because she already had one, but having siblings was an even worst thought. after her mom had left, her dad was her only family. he was her's and her's only, and the thought of sharing him completely scared vendetta. still, kelsey made her dad happy, so she sucked it up and got to know her new step siblings. of course, sammy and her had immediately hit it off despite the fact that she barely knew him. her step sister, on the other hand, did nothing but send daggers at her with her eyes. she wasn't sure what had caused her step sister to hate her so much, but apparently she had done something. detta never thought she'd live the day to see herself hating someone, but she did. she hated her step sister. it wasn't that she wanted the girl to die in a ditch even though she wished she did sometimes, but she just really didn't like the girl.

But sammy was exactly the kind of brother detta had always wanted. she had gotten to know a lot about him for the past year, and she loved him to bits and pieces. he was like caleb to her, but he was related. he knew everything about her and seemed to catch onto her lies pretty well. so she said nothing when he seemed to catch on that she hadn't showered. she wasn't sure if he knew, but she knew he would figure it out. he wasn't stupid. perhaps not as smart as her, but he wasn't the least bit stupid. it wasn't that she liked lying, it's just that sometimes it was necessary. she didn't like lying, and she didn't like being lied to, but sometimes a lie is better than the truth. but at least sammy hadn't asked her about it or even pointed out that he knew, so she just left it at that. she shrugged with a giggle, "well she's still my sister! and it is christmas! it's all about giving. i want her to have a good christmas too, sammy." she explained, sticking her tongue out at with playfullly.

She knew that she was constantly fighting with his sister, and she tried her hardest not to get sammy involved. she would never want him to pick between her and his real sister; that would just be an awful thing to do. but some things can't be helped. she hated having sammy be stuck in the middle, but she didn't know what she could do to not have him involved. vendetta laughed with a shake of her head, slapping his arm lightly with the hand that hadn't been liked with his. "you did not! maybe i should just stop baking all together, i don't want you to gain weight from all those cookies and then blame me for it!" she joked, giggling. she loved to bake and sometimes it wasn't always the best, but at least she knew one person that liked her cooking. she pursed her lips, brows furrowing while she thought, "i think Kelsey wanted this necklace that had a horseshoe on it, but i don't remember where it's from!" she had remembered shopping with kelsey that one time, and she had just adored the necklace. she glanced up at sammy, "hmmm? oh. yeah, i'm fine! it's just cramps. you know, girl stuff." she lied, masking it with a playful elbow to his side before looking away.

sammy loves detta till death. when he met her at their parents wedding, they got along great and became pretty close. he doesn't what he would do without her. she's the sister he could've ever ask for since his own sister doesn't speak to him anymore. they always have each other's backs. if one is sick, the other is there by their side and trying to make each one feel better. they tell each other almost everything. sammy would be devasted and feel like a terrible brother if something bad happens to her. sammy thinks of detta more of a best friend than his little step sister.

the relationship between detta and sammy was similar to how his relationship was with his own little sister before their mom got married to detta's father. he knows that his two sisters doesn't get along well and been trying to figure out why, but nothing. since the marriage, his sister has been in her own little world and stop speaking to him. he doesn't like it when his sister ignores him. apparently, sammy thinks that he did something wrong, so he's been trying to make it up to her but nothing seems to work. so, he decided to gives up and doesn't bother her. all right, but i know buying her a christmas gift won't make things right between you two. trust me, i've tried it for her birthday and it didn't work. he said, shrugging his shoulders.

while looking around to see what hannah likes, he felt detta slapping his arm. he look at her while grabbing his injured arm. ouch. that hurted. this is my throwing arm. if you injured my throwing arm and we lose, it's gonna be all your fault. he joked, laughing and playfully nudging her arm. sammy is like the star quaterback. the football team would lose without him and puts pressure on him because the school depends on him going to the championship game. what?! you can't stop baking. the family will be devasted and heartbroken, especially when my mom start cooking again. and for your information, i workout. so, i can't blame you about me gaining weight. he teased, playfully showing his guns. he does workout but doesn't have the nice fit body like the other football players. he heard detta mentioning something about a horseshoe necklace for his mom. um, well, why don't we look over at the jewelry store and see if they have it there? sammy suggested, thinking that's the first place to go for necklaces.

sammy look over at his sister and knew something was bothering her, but he didn't want to make a big deal about it. he haven't pay attention to the way she acts after she says something, but notice it a while ago. he notice that detta has a tell whenever she tells a lie. yes, even little miss goodie two shoes lies. sammy realizes that whenever she say something, she either playfully hits him or sticks her tongue out and that's when he notice she's lying. um, okay then. whatever you say, detta. he said, shaking his head with a small little grin. while looking around the mall, he was wondering what to get for hannah. he wanted to get her something but didn't know what she wants. normally, she would give him a christmas list of the top five things she wants every year. i need your help. i want to get something for hannah, but i don't know what she wants. has she told you what she wants for christmas? he asked, looking over at his sister since those two are pretty good friends. he doesn't really like to share friends with his sister, but what the heck.

Detta

[/color] had always been an only child, so it had been nice when she bonded with her step-brother. she's always wanted a sister too, but it seemed her new step-sister hated her and her father with a passion. she didn't know what she did wrong or if it was something she said, but the girl just didn't like her, and it upset detta greatly. not that she would let anyone know that. she just acted like what her step sister says or doesn't say doesn't affect her. just like she did with everything else. this sophomore always pretended like nothing bothered her, and masks it away with a smile or a laughter. she didn't like knowing people can see her being anything but happy. she didn't want people to worry about her because she wasn't worth being worried about. she can take care of herself. she just wanted people to put themselves before her first. because people were more important than her. plus, they had a much longer life to live.

She wanted to be the one that would push them to pursue their dreams. she wanted to be everybody's constant reminder that you don't always get a lot of time in life, and that you should treasure what you have. if you want it, go get it. just keep on trying until you succeed. don't give up. don't stop trying because once you do, you'll realize you won't have enough time to pick it up again. time was precious, and people constantly live it as if they have an entire life time. some people like her don't have that privilege. she needed to influence the people around her to understand that while it may seem like you're still young, there were still so many things you can accomplish. she didn't like it when people stopped having faith in themselves or others. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? that's what vendetta always believed. and to her, it made so much sense. maybe more than anyone around here.

if, at first, you don't succeed, keep trying until you do. if it doesn't kill you then why should you stop? you're only allowed to give up until it kills you because then you'd be dead. at least you can die saying you've tried the best you can and that you never gave up chasing your dreams. it's like when you make a mistake; you learn from it. you're not going to continue being an idiot and make the same mistake again. no, you make the mistake once, let it affect you for a little while, get off your ass, dust off the dirt and say "now i know not to do that again" and then you move on. it's the same mindset. a lot of these may be overly used cliched sayings, but that doesn't make them any less true or helpful. whomever said those first were very wise people who clearly had a very positive outlook on life, and detta admired them for it.

Detta shook her head a little, turning her attention back to sammy with a grin, "i'm not trying to be friends with her and i'm not trying to prove anything to her, i just want to get her a gift because it's christmas." she explained, shrugging a little. she knew autumn didn't like her, and while it bothered her, there was nothing she could do about it. the girl simply didn't like this blonde, and what can you do? she wasn't trying to patch things up or lure her into a friendship with her through gifts. she just genuinely wanted autumn to have a good christmas too, whether or not she wanted the present. she rolled her eyes at his joke. her hit had barely made much impact. it was a light bump, if you can even call it that. she laughed, "you're always so mean when it comes to kelsey's cooking. it's not bad, okay!" she giggled, shaking her head disapprovingly at her brother. sure, her step-mom wasn't the best cook, but she was not nearly the worst cook around.

She tried to refrain herself from rolling her eyes at him again, clasping a hand over her mouth, trying not to giggle. "you are such a guy, sammy. do you know how many jewelry stores there are?" she exclaimed, masking her giggle with a cough, shaking her head again. despite having one arm hooked around sammy's arm, her other hand was clenched tightly into a fist against her side, nails digging against her palm, trying to ease the pain in her left side. even after having taken the medications her doctor had prescribed, the pain was still throbbing dully against her side. while it wasn't as intense at earlier, it was still bothering her no matter how much she tried to hide it. her doctor had told her that the medications would help with the joint pains and the pains especially on her left side. he even explained that there was a good chance that these medications would stop the leukemia cells before they could progress to the accelerated phase. and that would not be good at all because that would mean she was slowly starting to stop responding to treatments. she stuck her tongue out at her brother before shrugging, "i don't know what to get her either! and i couldn't exactly downright ask her."

sammy and his father used to have a close relationship before detta and his father came into the picture and before the nasty divorce. he loved his father and told everyone that he wants to be just like his father when he gets older. he was a kid, he thought his parents was gonna be together forever and live happily ever after but sadly that only happens in fairy tale stories, not in reality. everything changed with just one blink of an eye. sammy and his dad stop hanging out, he would come home late and smell like he's been drinking or like he's wearing girl's perfume. he never forgave his father for what he did. his dad cheated on his mom with one of his co-worker and ruin the family. he was around ten years old when his parents finally decided to file for divorce and it was really hard on sammy.

after the divorce, he would get into trouble, hang out with the wrong crowd, and started drinking. anthony used to be a happy child who loves to smile and loves to laugh but that changed. when sammy heard the news that his mom started dating again, he was happy for her because that's all he wanted for her. he wanted her to move on and hopefully find someone who would make her happy and that's when detta's father came into the picture. he treated her well and made her happy which made sammy happy. its been a while since he last saw his mother smile like that. when he met detta, he felt like everything was going back to the way it was before.

sammy was looking around when he heard detta telling him something about his sister. he never understood why autumn hated detta and he never asked her why. she just does and for no apparent reason why what so ever. but that doesn't seem to bother sammy. sure, he does want his two sisters to get along but he can't do nothing about it. all he could do is just take one step back and let the girls work it out themselves, not getting involved. that's why he loves detta because she has a kind heart and she always put other people before herself, always thinking about other people. i never said my mom's cooking was bad. i mean, its okay but not all the time. i'm surprised that i'm still here breathing and haven't died from food poisioning due to her cooking. he teased. he knows his mom's cooking isn't good nor isn't bad but he just loves making fun of her cooking. even, his mom knows about his teaseness about her cooking and that's why they have a really close mother/son relationship. the costellos' is a family who just loves teasing each other, well except autumn because she takes everything so serious sometimes.

sammy turn his head over toward detta when he overheard her laughing at him and notice she was trying to cover the giggle by putting her hand next to her mouth. he look around and notice the jewelry stores around the mall and shrug his shoulders. he's a guy, he hardly goes to the mall and spend a day shopping with his buddies and gossip about silly things that's going around school. he's someone who spend a day hanging out with his buddies, play video games all night, and partying. that's what he usually goes whenever he's not spending a day with detta or hannah. of course i'm a guy, detta! i don't spend a day shopping at the mall like you girls normally do every single day. so, ha! he teased with a small laugh while shaking his head. sammy thought she would know what hannah would want for christmas but that backfire. now, he's screw and probably will stay in the friend zone for the rest of his life. he thought a christmas present would change that this year but no luck.

he notice his step sister sticking her tongue out at him once again and couldn't help but laugh at her. why can't you ask her? aren't you guys like best friends/roomies or something? well, you're no help, detta. he teased, with little grin on his face. sammy sometimes wonder why she always does that? always sticks her tongue out at him? to him, he thinks its funny. hey, why do you always stick your tongue at me? do you wanna have a contest to see who can touches their nose with their tongue first or what? he asked joking, laughing. he gently and playfully nudge his sister on her ride side with his elbow.
