YN: "Hello?"
B: "I'd like to speak to Miss YN, please."
YN: "Yes this is me!"
B: "Hello Miss YN, this is officer Bacowsky. I'm calling to let you know that we've finally got information about your sister" your heart was beating fast "she's been found at the airport and she's ok. She was coming from Mexico. The policemen from the airport are on their way to your home with her, so if you're not there right now, I advice you to head home immediately because sometimes teenagers tend to run away again if none of the family members is present. But if you still have something very important, I can tell them to stay with her until you've returned."
YN: "No, I'm home! Thank you so much officer Bacowsky for everything! I was so worried I even thought she was dead!"
B: "Completely understand Miss. If you allow me.. I'd advice you to talk to her.. I have two daughters teenagers and believe me, I know what you're going through!"
YN: "I will! Once again thank you!"
B: "No need to thank me, it's my job!"

'MEXICO!? SHE WENT TO MEXICO!? THE FUCK WAS SHE DOING THERE!!' you were very angry at your sister. Lately, she's been driving you crazy... and she running away like this.. this was the top of the ice cream!

4 days ago, your sister went with friends to Michael Jackson's concert. She's a huuuge fan of him, so for her 17th birthday you bought her, as a present, ticket for his concert. She was very happy that she got a chance to see him for the first time ever, and you too were happy because she was happy. But after she disappeared you realized that buying the ticket was the biggest mistake in your life!

She just left with her friends and last time you talked to her on the phone was before the concert. She called to tell you that they made it safe. When you tried to call her few hours later, her phone was switched off and she just didn't return home. For the next 4 days it was like she's vanished from this planet!

You see... you've been taking care of her ever since your mom died 6 years ago. You were 16 back then and it was so hard for you... you can imagine how it must have felt for little Courtney. As for your father, he started drinking after her death and his life headed towards direction 'bottom'. He lost his job and became very abusive, and would use to hit Courtney, releasing his anger and disappointment of life on her. You couldn't stand it so every time he would try to hurt her, you'd come on the way and he would beat you instead. Afterwards, little Courtney would come crying to you and would apologize saying
"I'm sorry, YN... it was all my fault! He should have got me.." her eyes filled with tears. You would hold her in your arms while your heart was aching so badly for having to see your little sister suffer like that
"This is not your fault, Courtney, not all! Remember that!". The two of you would use to stay like this for a while and cry. "One day... one day it's gonna be only you and me and we're gonna live in peace without him! We won't have to worry about a single thing, I promise you Courtney!" you kissed her on the cheek.

You kept your promise. But still, it didn't turn out the way you wanted.

After graduating school, you found yourself a job. With the savings your mom had left you, you found a nice place for you and Courtney. Without your father knowing, you took her one day and moved in there. You haven't seen or heard from him ever since.

In the beginning, life was peaceful. Courtney was happy and so were you. Shortly, before she turned 14, everything changed. The little, sweet Courtney turned into the worst nightmare - she started hanging out with these new kids (you didn't like at all), she dyed her hair black, one day she came home with a piercing, another day with a tattoo, she would skip school, drink alcohol, use bad language... and lately, just few months ago, you found some weed in her closet! And you were sure the weed was Chad's - he's her new boyfriend, 19 years old and "exactly the type of boy she needed" around her. She would sometimes just not return home after school, without calling you, then you found out she was at Chad's house. Let's not even mentioned that she got arrested twice!

However, when she didn't come back from the concert, you thought she was with Chad. Next day, when she still didn't return, you started to get worried and went straight to Chad's house. When he said he hasn't seen or talked to her on the phone, you freaked out! You called her every friend but no one knew anything about her. That was when you scurried to the police...

You were cursing yourself for buying her that ticket! The ticket, that was supposed to make the two of you close again. It was supposed to make you sisters again! You wanted to show her that you loved her and that you were there for her... you were trying to find the way back to her heart. You wanted to learn to speak her language so that you can communicate again since lately, talking to her has been a disaster! You wanted to bring back the Courtney she was before... In the end, the ticket only separated you. You were thinking about all those things when the sound of someone knocking on the door brought you back to Earth. It must be her! And it was.

"Miss YN?"
"Yes."
"Is this your sister, Courtney?" the policeman pointed to her.
"Yes, it is, thank you so much!" Courtney came in and the policemen left. She was obviously annoyed that she had to return home. She made her way to the living room and sat on the sofa, sighing because she knew what was about to happen. You didn't want to attack her but couldn't keep your cool either. And let's be real, the girl's been missing for 4 days, most probably enjoying life in Mexico while you felt like dying back here.

"Soo, Miss Mexico... do you have anything to say?" you said with an attitude.
"No, actually I don't.." she said while placing her feet on the coffee table. You gave her the look "Well alright, alright.. Mexico is beautiful! You should see the-" you cut her off.
"Are you damn crazy? DO YOU KNOW HOW I FELT HERE? DO YOU KNOW YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME AND HOW DID YOU EVEN GET TO MEXICO!? I NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD GO THIS FUCKING FAR! I WAS DESPERATE I EVEN THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" you told her all that you kept to yourself for 4 days. She sighed, obviously annoyed, then got up, came to you and said
"YN, now... no need to act like some crazy ass bitch. Nothing happened, ok, no need to make a big deal out of it."
"Jesus!!" was all you managed to say and you placed your hand on your forehead. She was definitely not able to realize that what she did was SO WRONG.
"C'mon, YN... I know your crazy ass and I knew you were gonna overreact so I got you a little present, well... actually my boyfriend did..." Boyfriend? Not Chad? Another pain in the ass? Great...
"What boyfriend? What present?!" she took a little box out of her bag and handed it to you. You opened it. It was a leg bracelet (you liked wearing bracelets on your legs) and NOT just a leg bracelet. It was hell of an expensive one - white gold with little diamonds, hanging from it. You took another look at it 'cause you thought you had mistaken the bling bling for a real one. You hadn't. This shit was real. You got up.
"Ok. What did you get yourself into this time, Courtney? And you better speak up 'cause this here is some serious shit!"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing!"
"Did you steel it?"
"WHAT? NOOO"
"Don't lie to me!"
"I'm not!"
"Do you think I'm fucking stupid? Do you really believe it? Now SPEAK THE FUCK UP STOP PLAYING WITH ME LITTLE GIRL, YOU GOT YOURSELF IN TROUBLE AND IF YOU DON'T TELL ME AT THIS INSTANT, I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU, I'LL LET YOUR STUPID, STUBBORN ASS ROTTEN IN PRISON!" she needed to see you were serious. This girl was getting herself into more and bigger trouble everyday.
"I told you, my boyfriend bought it, I didn't fucking steal it!" she was telling the truth. You knew her very well and just one look in her eyes was needed to know if she was laying...
"And who's this boyfriend of yours? And what happened to Chad?! I thought you were all over his ass?!"
"Chad's in the past. Forget about him. I fell in love and this time it's real!"
"Oh Lord... help me! Do you even know anything about love?"
"Certainly more than you. As far as I remember, you've had how many boyfriends..? Let me count.. ahmm..." she was counting on her fingers "..zero!" that was a sensitive topic for you.
"If you still remember... it's because I was too busy taking care of your ass!"
"Oh please, c'mon! Listen, you gotta let it go! Man are not the same, they are different!" you had this man a year ago that you were crazy about but he betrayed you really bad. Moreover, he was just like your father. You, then, got disappointed with all men, and thought they were all the same. That's why you didn't want a boyfriend. You wanted to protect yourself from trouble, pain and being hurt again. Maybe the past was to blame, 'cause, when living with your father, you were always trying to protect something.
"Courtney, you're only 17! You don't know SHIT about life! Anyway, don't try to change the subject. Now tell me how did you end up in Mexico and how did you get your hands on this bracelet!"
"Ok, ok. I met my boyfriend, fell in love with him, he fell in love with me, he asked me if I would go to Mexico with him, I said yes, then we went shopping and we bought this for you. I chose it, he paid for it. End of story." she explained without even taking breath.
"Somebody please shoot me!"
"I'm telling the truth, I swear!"
"And where's your boyfriend now?"
"He couldn't come with me and I thought I should tell you first.. Aren't you gonna ask me who he is?"
"Actually, I'm afraid to. But by looking at this bracelet, I'm assuming his ass is rich and waaaaay older than yours.."
"Yes and no."
"Why couldn't he come with you again? Oh maybe 'cause his wife's waiting for him to get home!!" you yelled. Rich man, giving much younger girl such presents... you didn't like it at all. You didn't know what you liked better, the time when she got arrested or now, when she's fucking some old ass man, who can be her father.
"He's not married! He's very busy and had to get back home to finish some work."
"You gonna make me decide to never have children in my life!"
"Oh c'mon sis! Now, don't worry, I'll introduce you to him and you'll see that this time I actually got a nice boyfriend. I promise!" she said, looking so assured and happy.
"I suppose I don't know him?" of course you didn't, you don't know any rich men.
"Well.... actually, you do."
"I do?!"
"Yes. He's Michael Jackson."
"WHAT THE..?!!!" Courtney was nodding her head. "OK. I didn't do anything when you got your ass arrested but this time I think you need help. You can't just make up stories like that, Courtney! I know you like Michael Jackson a lot but this shit is crazy! Are you having hallucinations? Are you high on something?"
"Nooo! And I'm not making this up. I swear he's my boyfriend! I too didn't believe it first but it happened! And I'll introduce you to him this weekend. He wants to meet you since I told him you're my only family!" she said smiling.
"I need to sit down..".

'this time I actually got a nice boyfriend. I promise!' so much for the nice boyfriend and you even believed her for a second.

After few days

You've been thinking about the whole situation. The first day, it was very hard for you to believe Courtney but you knew her so well, therefore, could tell when she was lying and when she was telling the truth. You read her like a book and realized she wasn't making up the whole shit about Michael Jackson. The positive side of the story was that she wasn't crazy. The negative... Michael Jackson! You had to think about the positive and negative aspects of your sister relationship with him. You were even making a list in your head

1. He was the most famous man on Earth and that's exactly what Courtney needed - a man who gets all the attention and drags her into his crazy world.
2. The man is worth billion dollars and after only 4 days of dating he's already buying her stuff! Wonderful! Now Courtney's gonna be spoiled and she'll get used to this life. When they brake up, only God knows how you're gonna give her this life. The most important was, that this way she wasn't gonna learn the value of money.
3. He is older than her! How old is he even? You thought 33 but wasn't sure... you had to check later. Anyway, he was twice her age!
4. Let's not even think about him hurting her! What is a 33 year-old man doing with a 17 year-old girl? The answer was clear-playing! Young girls are vulnerable... she'll only fall in love with him and trust him, then he'll hurt her..
5. And what kind of a person was he?

As for the positive sides, well... you couldn't think of anything positive!

You tried to talk to her about all this, to put some brain in her head but it won't work. The situation would only deteriorate. You felt that if you said 'no' to this relationship, she would only distance herself from you. You also sensed that she was ready to go live with him, leaving you all alone. You couldn't let that happen, she's just 17! Another option was to go to the police and report him for having a relationship with a minor but when you thought about it again... not a good idea. Courtney will hate you for it and he'll probably take out his cash and his lawyers save his ass. The bad guy will be you. She was ready to do anything for him, even throw herself in the ocean... she was crazy for him and if you now turned against it, you knew she'd hate you! The best to do was just to go with it and wait for it to end. You were only afraid that she'll end up hurt but at least with some kind of a life lesson. Oh and you also believed she would miss Chad since she used to love him very much.

Today was Friday and tomorrow night, Courtney was gonna introduce you to her new boyfriend.

Anyway, only time can show what will happen and until then you decided to pretend you're ok with it. However, this didn't mean you were gonna play all nice and sweet in front of Michael! HELL NO! You didn't really care who he was and how much money or power he had. You were gonna tell his ass to better watch it 'cause your sister's not alone!
