Dysfunctionality Runs In Our Veins

'Dysfunctional: not operating normally or properly'

That was one way to describe Clara Campbells family. Dysfunctional; not operating properly. That was just what happened when your older siblings leave you.

Or that's what Clara had always believed. She had never had any parents there to hold her hand or any older siblings to tease her; they had grown up before her.

She knew how to cook, clean, walk around her parents emotions, go to and from school; she know how to take what life gave her. Well, what was the other opportunity that she could of had?

But what happens when her ship gets rocked and thrown off course? When people you thought left you years ago decide to show up again?

Clara has always known one way to live, and that gets ruined, so how is she supposed to cope with the change? She has taught herself everything else in life, so this can't be any different, can it?

"There is no book about independence and there is no book about dependence. You have to write it yourself; you have to be the one that lives through it"

Clara was that girl in class, when she was asked about relatives or family members, she always said she had none. Everyone believed her because she never had anyone there, not like it mattered to her or any of them.

"It was you had lost someone, or that was what I thought about whenever someone asked about my siblings and the rest of my family. I didn't know who they were, and they didn't know who I was. I mean, I didn't know me either"

Clara grew up without them as they grew up without her, so what will they do when a wave rocks the worlds they live in?

"I heard her screams, Colt, I heard them. You weren't the one to hear the screaming and crying of your baby sister, it was me, and I knew there was nothing I could do to stop it. I couldn't save her"
