Daniel's POV

Mara is gone. She's gone again. This is the 9th time.
She didn't leave clues this time.
No post-it notes on the doormat. No spray paint on her walls.
No old-fashioned letters or fax.
No Nothing.
She hates us. She hates Mom,Dad,Lilly and Me. She keeps leaving and comes back when she gets her fair share of attention. We though her "disappearances would stop after she graduated high school, We thought that she would become mature but she's still the same attention-seeking "teen superstar".
I have had enough of her in my family's life. This time, when Lilly asked me if she could go after Mara again, I told her no because I don't want Lilly to distance herself from me when I need her the most.
I need that job or else, I swear I'm going to burn my college degree.
What's the use of an education anyway, when you could just become famous by existing?
