The day I got back was the first day we had my sister for a holiday or even a weekend in two years. Me and earth had planned this whole thing. It was going to be just like the old days before all the bad happned.

We had saved up all the dollars and pennies we could find or had for at least two months. We were going to get our sparkling apple cider one bottle each. And then with the left over we would buy some candy or something equally special.

Our mother had no consideration for our plans. only a selfish act that no one could have imagined would tear our family apart for good.

She decided that going out and partying all night and leaving us to babysitt several of her friends kids, was more important then spending that one saterday night with us.

Earth and I were not only outraged, we were devestated that our mother would throw away what little time we had as a family on a holiday to go out and get drunk and come home at seven In the morning.

When she got up the next day I had had enough. Earths father had called and said he wanted her back by two that afternoon. It was noon. She had wasted precious time she could never get back.

Earth had forgotton to do the dishes. as we would take turns doing them as most siblings do. Mom told me to get of my arse and do them I was already in a black mood so I yelled at her and said its earths turn and I am tired of being the only one doing any of the chores around here.

She slapped me and I slapped her back. We ended up having a physical fight. We even threw each other down the stairs.

I broke away and jumped of the back balcony to run to a friends house. But before I did I said the most hurtful thing to my sister that even now these four years later still brings tears of shame to my eyes. I told her it was her fault that our family was fallimg apart and that she wasn't my sister... I will never forget watching her face fall and breaking into tears because of those words.

That saterday night was the last time we were all in the house together.
