She had dropped both her brother, and sister, off at their practices. She had fed them dinner. She had comvinced them that mommy would be back soon. She had tried to be a little motherly and sisterly… and through all of it, she wanted to give up and most of all, she wanted her mom back.

She wanted her, the real her, not just the hard worker/partier/drunk/wanna-be teenager. And she really wanted to know what her sister was hiding. Whatever it was, she would find out. Because she didn’t want anyhing to come between them, family was all they had.
