But I tried to be patient. She was my sister after all, and I wanted the best for her.,” You’ve been so rude to me lately. You used to be a nice girl.”
She mumbled into her shirt., “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to be mean… I’m just dealing with a lot of… “ She didn’t finished her words.
“…with a lot of what?” I chased her.
She lifted her head to look at me. Her eyes glistered., “With… with losing mom and dad. Everything’s changing and I feel so alone.”
It hurts to hear what she just said., “Sister Baby, I’m sorry I haven’t been a good brother for you.” I held her arms, and I continued., “But do you think I don’t feel like losing them? Do you think I don’t miss them? I loved them as much as you do.”
A tear slips down her cheek., “I know… I’m sorry for pushing you away. I thought you didn’t care.”
“I care about you, and I love you, but you’ve never been here with me when I got home from work. You preferred to go out with your friends. And when you are here… you love your phone more than you love me. You didn’t even have a second to talk to me.” My voice trembled.
She looked down, feeling guilty., “You’re right… I’ve been a crappy sister. Letting my phone consume me, acting out… I’m sorry, brother.”
“Look at me, Sister… I miss the old time with you. You used to be a good sister for your big brother. I miss those times.” I reminded her about our good times together.
She met my gaze, looking vulnerable., “I miss those times too… I miss you. I want that back.” She hugged me.
I hugged her back., “Please don’t ignore me now, sister.”
