Steve's POV

To say I was exhausted was an understatement. My head was killing me by the time I arrived home. My sister had done a good job so far by taking care of herself, but I didn't want to jinx it. I hadn't seen enough of her or my own girlfriend to be completely honest with you, but perhaps tomorrow I could find a few hours to spend with them. I missed them like crazy, especially my sister since I wanted to know how she was doing in her new school.

I had started to sketch a schedule in my mind for tomorrow when I opened the door and I swore I was seeing the house upside down.

"Jillian, what on earth are you doing?" I said when I walked into the living room and landed my eyes on my sister standing there... on her hands.

"I'm doing my cheerleader exercises. I wanna make it into the school squad this year. Why?" she struggled to speak while she was focused on keeping her balance on her hands.

"Not inside the house, how many times?" I cursed inside trying to keep my temper down. I cut the distance between us and held her feet so she wouldn't end up falling and hurting herself. That was the last thing I needed.

"Fineee" she whined before standing back on her feet. "I think I'm gonna go over Joe's then, to train a little. It wouldn't kill you to drop by every once in a while by the way" she let that bitter comment fall casually while she picked up her bag to go training.

"I'm really busy right now babygirl, but I can drive you there" I said not letting my work get in between with my overprotective brother task. I had left her enough time to her own.

The ride to the training center was quiet, so I put on some music while my sister was too busy typing on her phone. Sometimes I felt she spent too much time on that thing, but I rested assured that she'd have to drop it the second she puts a foot into Joe'd gym. He was an even stricter man than me if that was possible at all, and he wasn't moved at all by Jill's usual endearing youthful expressions like I was sometimes. With him it was obey or die... alright so perhaps that was only for me when he trained me to be a SEAL, but I knew he acted the same way with his students in the gym.

It had been a while since my former captain resigned the military and focused on helping kids in the island. Many cases of abuse or abandoning arrived to the HPD, and Joe made sure to get to them and offer them a safe place where they could work on their anger and learn how to defend themselves. That's why I didn't have second thoughts when Jill told me she wanted to learn CQC. Joe would teach her right, even better than myself. Above anything he had chipped in his 2 cents when it came to my sister's discipline. He did that to people.

Another plus in that was that, usually when I pick her up from practice, she's beyond exhausted. Jill's always felt sleepy in cars since she was little, and when she was a baby sometimes the only way to calm her cries down was to take her for a long car ride I was in charge of. It always warmed my heart to see her peacefully sleeping, but it wasn't the case today. Something was troubling her and it poked my curiosity to know what it was. I'd have to do some older brother digging there.

The next morning I had to leave even earlier than my sister gets up for school. Still I made sure to wake her up before I left, so she wouldn't overleep thinking I'd be there to wake her up. I thought that with 13 years old she should be old enough to take herself to school, and she had never liked the idea of me driving her anyways. I knew when I put a foot out of her bedroom she'd go back to her peaceful sleep, and it worried me a little bit but I needed to trust her. Danny and Cath always say I don't give her enough space, so I wouldn't call her or anything, see where it goes.

I arrived to the central with one priority in my mind: find out how was my sister adjusting to her new school. I couldn't exactly ask her, because teens are never 100% honest to grownups, so I decided I could use my influence in my favor, just this time.
