and a brother who's feelings are untamed.
With complete different personalities, yet an awesome bond, the siblings join a summer camp. She plans to fix her problems, he plans to make friends.
But while she's able...

I threw the drugs away.
Flushed the powder through Thomas's toilet and threw the bag in the trash can.
Then I had the best time at the waterpark. I don't know, guess I could feel things healing inside me. Having a girl around, catching up with people, not having to worry about money or threats... it was really nice. I want it to stay like this.
And Jennifer woke up. Minho and Hiram obviously talked to her first, and right now, I'm sitting next to her bed.
"Hi." She smiles. "How you doing?"
"Better," I say. "And you?"
"Horrible. But I still look good, don't I?"
I chuckle. "Sure you do. Does it... I don't know, hurt much?"
"Only when I laugh," Jen explains. "So your visit's gonna bring me a lot of pain that'll be worth it. So tell me something about what has been going on?"
"Uhm."
I stole like six hundred dollars from you, your husband, and your son. I paid for drugs with them. Then I stole more and bought more. Then in threw all my money, AKA the drugs, in the toilet.
And now I already regret it.
"Not a lot of happy things?" She sighs out.
I shake my head. "We, eh, we went to a waterpark yesterday. It was fun. And Thomas and Teresa are finally together."
Jennifer starts smiling so hard that her pain twitches in pain. "That is amazing! I'll have to congratulate them both myself."
"Thomas is right outside the door. I can go get him," I offer.
I'm picking at the skin on my fingers and praying I somehow don't spill everything that has happened. There isn't much else to talk about, so I might as well just get Thomas.
"Sure." She luckily seems to understand. Well, she probably doesn't and is just agreeing to my offer, but on the other side, it feels like she understands. "I'll see you soon, okay, baby?"
Smiling and nodding at once, I get up. "Yeah. Bye, Jen."
"Love you, bye."
I have to try hard not to freeze right in my place. "I love you, too," I say, voice hoarse. Then I gather myself back by clearing my throat. "Bye."
Outside, I tell Thomas he can talk to Jennifer. My eyes trail to Minho once my friend is gone. He's sitting on one of the chairs, eyes on the ground, seeming to be in deep thoughts.
And I love you, too. I swallow. Watching him now, not smiling nor making sarcastic comments, he can look very vulnerable. I don't want to hurt him. I've been the worst girlfriend ever lately. Or like, the worst person ever the second he kissed me and I got pissed.
