Alexa’s sister

Alexa saw her sister, Faith, calling her and decided that she would answer her first. Alexa took a deep breath as she hit the answer button. “Hey, Faith,” Alexa said. “Long time no see.”

“You put some pretty big news out there,” Faith said. “You’ve been across the world and now you’re making these big reveals? What’s going on, Lex? Why the sudden change?”

“It just… felt right,” Alexa said.

“Is that why you bullied other girls when we were younger?” Faith asked.

“Y-yeah… I was embarrassed and ashamed… I still am,” Alexa said. “But I have a support system now.”

“That’s good. I dunno how mom is gonna take it. You know how she can be sometimes. But I love you, Lex. Nothing changes that,” Faith said. “Also… was that a ring on your finger?”

“Oh… yeah. I’m engaged to Michelle,” Alexa said.

“Wow, congratulations. Can’t say I’m too surprised. I’m proud of you, Lex. And you better invite me to the wedding,” Faith said.

“Are you kidding? Who else is going to be my maid of honor?” Alexa said with a smile.

“Are you serious?” Faith asked.

“Of course,” Alexa said. “Just… hopefully mom won’t freak out too much.”

“Is that Alexa?” Alexa heard a familiar voice in the background and gulped. “Hand me the phone.”

“Mom, I don’t think you should…”

There wasn’t much arguing as Helen Johnson snatched the phone. Alexa gulped wondering what she’d say and how she’d react.
