Eve walked into her empty house and began her dinner.

It wasn’t this way when Daddy was still here.. Mom use to be home every day and dinner was at 5 o’clock sharp. We - Mom, Daddy, my older brother Penn and me - would eat and talk and laugh together.. But then the fights started.. Soon, Daddy left with Penn. He always had cared about him most.. And Mom let them go. She didn’t think that maybe..maybe her 4 year old daughter would want her father. And her mother now…

Eve tossed and turned in bed. She hadn’t told any of her friends she once had a brother. Later, the urge to tell someone became too immense. Eve picked up her cell and sent a text to Dante.

hope i dont wake u, but if u r ^.. can u plz call? i need 2 talk 2 some1 soon..

Almost immediatly after hitting send her phone rang. Dante apoligized for only being able to wishper, but she told him she just needed him to listen. Her mom still wasn’t home, so she told the whole story about her family. And Dante listened.
