The Red Dress - A Story
When they returned home from shopping, she was jealous of her sister. After all, it was her sister who was able to find the perfect outfit for that upcoming senior dance.
While the younger sibling was thin and gawky, the elder sister, being four years older, was shapely and well built. She looked like a dream when she put that crimson knit on too...that new red dress. The belt cinched her waist making the dress fall right above her knee showing off those long, shapely legs.
It was while the older sibling was away on her school trip that it happened. The younger sister took the red dress from the closet they shared and put it on. Of course, she wouldn't be able to wear heels to school being a mere freshman. She buffed her black flats making them more than suitable for the occasion. After all, she was only going to school.
The younger sibling relished in the compliments she got all day at school but then at lunch, something fell on the red dress. The stain wouldn't come out when she scrubbed and scrubbed. Hanging it back up in the closet and hoping that her older sister would not notice the small grease stain, she never told her sister about wearing the red dress.
Days, perhaps weeks, passed. When the older sister took the red dress from the back of the closet and put it on she noticed the stain immediately. Confronting the younger sister, scolding and shaking her finger at her the entire time while she yelled, she pushed the younger sister onto the bed. With such a forceful shove, the younger sister hit her head on the wall and burst into tears while the older sister fussed and fumed, stomping angrily around their room.
Vowing to never touch another person's property without asking and to always tell the truth, she I never broke that vow.

My sister forgave me. It took a long time.
She continues to feel badly about me pushing me causing me to hit my head against the wall.
Silly girl!
That bump probably made me who I am...:)
