Best Sister Ever

Thank you for bringing

Lane home.

You did bring her home,

correct?

Me

No. I left her on the

sidewalk to fend for

herself.

Best Sister Ever

Hilarious. I just texted

her. Why does she sound

pissed off?

What did you do to her?

Fuck. Why does she always assume I’ve done something wrong?

Me

I didn’t do anything, I

was the perfect

gentleman.

I avoid tellingher the part about where I did the one thing we both know not to do. I already know I’m an idiot; I don’t need Ellie reminding me.

Best Sister Ever

Yeah, right. If I find out

you did anything to piss

her off or hurt her feelings

I’ll hurt you.

Better yet… I’ll tell mom.

Me

You wouldn’t.

But I know she would. She’d do anything to get me in trouble with our mother. My sister can do no wrong in our mother’s eyes. Ellie is the perfect angel. Don’t get me wrong, my mother loves us both equally, but Ellie is her baby girl.

Being twins, our mom made us do everything together growing up. If I wanted to play soccer, mom would sign Ellie up with me. When Ellie wanted to play an instrument, I was forced to play the viola.
