Anita
Dinner is being served by Yamileth. Her parents are at the dining table serving dinner when they ask her if Anita.
"Where is Anne? Won't she be having dinner?" Her mum asks her.
"I will go and get her. She must be stressed out." Yamileth tries as she walks to the stairs to fetch her sister from her room. Yamileth knocks on the door but there is no response. She knocks again and again as she calls out her sister's name.
"Anne, Anne…can I come in? Anne…please open up the door. Dinner is ready." Yamileth keeps calling out to her sister but she doesn't open up.
Anita hears her sister banging at the door but she refuses to open up. She is so weary and heartbroken.
Earlier that evening, she called her boyfriend and told her what her boss did to her. He hung up on her angrily and refused to speak to her or pick her calls or even reply to her messages. Anita felt heartbroken as she cried and cried.
Yamileth keeps calling out to her to open up as she hits the door more and more harder. She must be suspecting that she is in danger now. Anita takes the bottle, opens it and pours out its contents in her palm. Her hand is shaky as she opens her mouth and begins to shed fresh tears again then swallows the pills.
Yamileth hurtles into her room and her eyeballs grow bigger in shock.
"Anita! Anita! What have you done to yourself? Anita!" Yamileth screams as she rushes towards her sister who is already laying on the floor and foaming from the mouth while she is unconscious.
Yamileth screams so loudly.
"Help…! Help!!! Someone should help!!!! Mum! Daddy!" She screams as their parents who are downstairs hear her.
"Isn't that Yamileth's voice?" Her mum asks as she looks at her husband.
"It is." He replies to her. Before they can figure out why she is screaming, they rush to where her voice is coming from.
Anita is lying helplessly in Yamileth's arms. Their parents meet them there and are shocked and confused.
"What is going on here? What happened to her? Oh my God, get the car key!" Her parents are confused as they rush to take her to the hospital. Their dad, Mr. Weston Alejandra carried Anita in his arms when a pill fell off her left hand. Yamileth sees it and picks it up.
"Was she sick? What is this?" Yamileth asks herself as she wonders why her sister was taking drugs. She looked around her room and found the bottle. Yamileth picks it up and is trying to read the label to know what drug it is when her mum calls her attention.
"Quick, gety bag and phone. Met us downstairs." Her mum replies in a hurried voice as Yamileth drops the bottle and rushes to her parents to get the items then follows them to the car.
Yamileth sits in the front while their dad and mom sit behind with Anita. Zack, their dad's driver, takes them to the hospital.
At the hospital, Yamileth is trying to calm down her mum who is hysterically crying. Yamileth holds her in her arm as she is wiping her tears while her dad is walking to and fro in front of the ward.
"Mum, stop crying and calm yourself down or you will get sick. She will be fine, okay? Please be calm…please mum stop crying." Yamileth calms her mum down.
The door to the ward gets open and a doctor comes out.
"Are you the family of the patient?" The doctor asks as he sees Weston at the door.
"Yes yes please. We are her family. Doctor, how is she? Is she okay? What happened to her? Please tell me." Weston panics before the doctor.
Their mum, Claire, gets up from where she is sitting and rushes to the doctor in tears.
"Is my baby okay? What happened to her?" She keeps pouring out questions to the doctor who just stood there confused as he tries to calm them down.
"Doctor, can we go in and see her now? Is she fine?" Yamileth asks the doctor. She is the only one who is acting mature with her dad.
"Yes, you can go in to see her but I'll like to speak to her father. Please come with me to my office." The doctor replies as he walks away to his office.
"Honey go…Anne…Anne my baby…" Claire cries as she wipes her tears.
"Okay…okay…I'll be back. Let me see the doctor." Weston informs them as Yamileth nods her head and holds her mother as they rush to the side of Anita.
She is placed on a drip as she lays there with her eyes closed.
Yamileth holds her hand as her mum rubs her body.
"Mum get hold of yourself…she will be fine, please." Yamileth tries to calm her mum again as she hugs her and they bury their faces in each other's necks. Their noise wakes Anita as she blinks her eye lids and moves her hand.
"Mum…" Anita calls weakly.
"She is awake." Yamileth says as she releases her mum and moves closer to her sister.
"Baby…baby how are you? What happened to you?" Claire asks her daughter as she tries to stop crying but her tears fall on Anita's hand.
"Mum I'm sorry…" Anita apologizes for no reason as tears flow out of her eyes. Her voice is weak and her face looks pale.
"No…no baby I'm the one to be sorry…I didn't look after you properly. I'm sorry my child…I'm sorry." Claire becomes emotional again as she wipes her daughter's tears which didn't stop flowing.
"Anne, how are you? Do you feel better now?" Yamileth asks her sister as Anita's eyes shift over to Yamileth. She knows her head then turns her face away from them.
