Chapter 418 My Vacation Doings::7

• It wasn't going to be that night. It was the last day of classes. There was supposed to be a big party at one of the houses, and Teri said she'd be coming home late. I guess she was going to try what Mom had taught her with Kyle. I'll be honest, the idea pissed me off a little.
• I'm not warped or anything. My sister deserved better, that's all. She never let it get her down, she trudged along, putting on her happy face, dealing with life as it hammered her. Dad's death, her leg injuries, the therapy, the bullying. As she got older, she had her friends, but not much luck with guys. Acne kicked in when she was 16, if life wasn't already tough enough for her. By the time it cleared up, I was gone, so I didn't have that good of an idea what the last couple of years were like for her.
• When she got home that night, she was broken, in tears, sobbing her eyes out. I felt too awkward to get involved, and let Mom take her in the back and commiserate with her.
