"Chloe, where the fuck have you been?" Penny shouts when I enter her apartment.

"Out." I simply reply.

"Where the hell was that?" she asks while screaming.

"I ran into a new friend, and just decided to hang out for a while." I answer her calmly.

"And who might this "friend" be?" she asks putting air quotes around the word friend.

"Does that even matter?" I ask seriously as my eyebrows scrunch together.

"You've come to me saying you wanted to be here with me, but you ran off to be with some friend." she says.

"Penny?" I ask wanting to get her attention.

"What?" she asks clearly fed up with all my bullshit.

"Penn, can we talk?" I ask walking over to her couch taking a seat.

"Go ahead." she says.

"I'm really sorry for being the worst sister ever. I haven't acted as if I cared for you, or matter fact anybody. I've only thought all about me every since dad."

"You're not the worst sister ever. I'm just worried about you. All you've seem to be doing is holding onto the past." she says looking at me sympathetically.

"It's hard to let go when he is gone. I loved him so much, more than anything Penn. I know you and him had your differences, but that didn't stop him from loving you."

"Baby?" my dad asked knocking on his and mom's room door.

"What do you want?" she asked bitterly.

"Let me in, so we can talk." I heard him say.

I heard footsteps, so I knew she was letting him in the door.

I wanted to know what was going on between the two of them. Me being nosy I walked up the stairs, so I could hear.

"Do you even love me anymore?" I heard mom ask.

"Baby, of course I love you. Always have always will." I heard him say.

"How can you say that? After all the things you have put me through." Mom says.

"Come here." Dad says.

I wonder what exactly there talking about.

"I love you so much. I know I said I wouldn't get involved anymore, but he's my brother." I heard dad say softly.

"I know. I just don't want anything bad happening to you." I heard my say while sniffling a little.

Bad? Brother? What the hell are they talking about.

"Chloe, what are you doing?" Penny asks causing me to jump up from the step.

"Um, nothing."

"Chloe?" Penny asks.

"Yes?" I ask.

"There's something I wanted to tell you." she says.

"Okay..." I say hoping she would just continue.

"I found our uncle." she says hesitant.

"I was there for you, so you should be there for me." My dad says to his brother my uncle.

"I'm trying." My uncle said.

"Try harder ." My dad said and from the sound of his voice he was getting angry.

"Found him?" I ask furrow in my eyebrows in confusion.

"Well more like he found me." she says with a blank look on her face.

"What do you mean Penny?" I ask because these short answers were starting to piss me off.

"Well, I was in the store. I was getting food for my house when all of a sudden someone came, and tapped me on my shoulder." she says slowly making sure I caught all of it.

"It was him?" I ask in disbelief.

"No, it was a little boy who looked exactly like dad." she says looking away as if she were reliving that moment.

"What do mean like dad? That's not possible. HE CAN'T HAVE ANOTHER CHILD!" I say jumping out of my seat pacing around the living room area.

"Calm down sis." she says trying to get a hold of me.

"Just finish the damn story." I say trying to calm myself down.

"I just stood there staring at the boy. He had greenish blue eyes, thick light brown hair and his skin color is exactly like dad's white, but not pale." she says giving me a mental picture.

"And what happened after that?" I ask getting slightly impatient.

"A familiar voice called out a name which I presume was the kid's name. When I looked up I was met with those same green eyes. It was him." she says looking at me with a sad and confused
look.

"What did you do?" I ask getting worried at what could have happened.

"I couldn't take all the emotions I felt looking at him, so I did what I thought would help me. I ran." she told me as her eyes slowly started to water.

I hadn't noticed that I started crying too. She didn't have to say how she felt I knew. I felt all the pain, all the hurt coming back all at once.

I clinched my chest hoping that it would help me breath better, but it didn't.

I felt small arms wrap around my waist. I knew it was my sister, so I settled into her arms.

I've missed her, I felt safe with her. I can't live without her, and I know that now. Her touch always seemed to soothed me.

"He loved mom he couldn't have another kid. He wouldn't do that to us." I say slightly shaking in her arms.

"We will get through this together okay." she says wrapping her arms around me tighter almost reassuring me everything will soon be okay.

"Okay." I say while softly sniffling.

After a few minutes we both had calmed down. Just tear stained faces in a room that was completely silent.

"I just want us to be close again." Penny says breaking the silence.

"I'm willing to give it a try." I say giving her a light smile, and scooting closer.

"Me too." she says laughing softly while opening her arms for an embrace.

Her hugs are the best, so I gladly accepted.

"You realize we have a lot to catch up on?" she asks while her warm breath hits my neck.

"Yeah, I know. What would you like to know?" I ask while raising my eyebrow curiously.

"Everything, but first what happened between you and Melissa." she says nervously like she's scared she might say the wrong thing.

"It's okay I'm willing to talk about it." I say giving her a reassuring smile.

So I did, I told Penny everything.

Everything that I did when she left, the things I did to Melissa, the bullying, me smoking and drinking.

She wasn't happy about what I did, but she understands why I did what I did.

I was just lost...
