THIRTY-EIGHT| sister is love?

My mind suddenly went to the last memory I had of my younger sister. I thought about the time Chloe came home to realize we were only half sisters. It broke her heart to get the news.

-

"So me and Chloe are half sisters?" I had asked Mom.

"Hell, is my dad even in the damn army?!" Chloe asked loudly.

"I get one day off of work every so often and I come home to you," groaned Mom.

"Answer me!" Chloe yelled while stomping her foot on the ground.

"Yes!" Mom said to Chloe. She seemed annoyed.

Chloe groaned. "Bullshit!"

"I wish you would just let this topic go," Mom said while putting her hand on her forehead.

"No!" Chloe yelled and she stood and pointed her finger in Mom's face. "You're such a fucking liar!"

Mom stood and slapped Chloe right across the face. Chloe fell to the ground over dramatically. I huffed and helped her stand.

"Chloe, stop crying," I whispered.

"Just because you can go against my word about England, doesn't mean you're a grown woman!" Mom yelled. "You will obey me in my house!"

"I'm more of a woman you'll ever be!" Chloe yelled back.

I stood in between them.

"Stop," I mumbled to Chloe

"I'm sick and tired of your attitude!" Mom yelled.

"Mom, stop." I pleaded.

"I'm sick and tired of you! Always praising this no-good depressed piece of shit and I get nothing but a fucking slap in the face!" Chloe yelled breaking from my hold.

I pushed her back so she wouldn't come in contact with Mom. I groaned and Mom started walking forward. I pushed her back too.

"Please, stop it!" I begged.

"I went my entire life thinking she was my sister! She's barely related to me anymore!" Chloe yelled at Mom.

"She's still your sister!" Mom yelled back.

"If I wasn't born she would've been dead! She would've killed herself!" Chloe yelled.

I stepped in and pushed Chloe back making her fall against the wall forcefully.

"That's enough!" I growled.

"Ow," she groaned while standing up and running her head. "What the hell!?" She pushed me back.

"You'd better be lucky she pushed you and not me!" Mom yelled at Chloe.

I turned to Mom. "Just answer my question."

"I couldn't let you be apart of that terrible man's life in any way. So I legally changed your name," Mom explained.

"What about me?" Chloe asked.

"What about you?" Mom asked while rolling her eyes.

"Is my last name even my real last name or was that another one of your sick perverted needs?" Chloe growled.

"Your father is in Iran right now, Chloe," Mom growled. "His name is Dennis."

"Why'd you keep him a secret from us?" I asked.

Mom huffed. "I don't know."

That was the end of that. Chloe went upstairs and I had followed her. She went into her room and I went in there with her. I don't know why I followed her, but I did. She sat on her bed and I closed her door.

"Why are you such an asshole?" Chloe asked me.

I frowned.

"Mom only cares about you!" Chloe yelled.

My head went down.

"You suddenly want to fucking kill yourself and you get all the love in the world!" She yelled at me. "I am perfectly fine with no love at all!"

"Chloe, stop," I huffed.

Chloe flipped me off and I walked out of her room silently.
