With her arms around me, she cried into my chest., “I won’t ignore you anymore. I promise… Always.”
“I know you’re a good girl. I love you more than I love myself.” I stroked her head.
She leaned into my touch, purring contentedly., “Mmmm… I love you too, big bro." She clung to me.
“I want us like we used to be.” I continue.
She nodded against me., “Me too… I’ll try my best to be better… to make you proud of me again.” She said it with a determined look.
“After mom and dad are not with us anymore, we have to be stronger, to share, and to help each other. You understand what I’m saying, Sister?” Tears started to come to my eyes… dropping on her cheek.
She nodded vigorously, sniffling., “I do… I’ll do anything, Brother… to bring our family back together.” She jumped when she felt a warm drop on her cheek., “Are you crying, brother?”
I hold her head, and I look at her in the eyes., “Yes… Look… I’m crying. I can fight two men, but I’m crying now because I love my family… because I care about you, my little sister.”
She looked at me through her teary eyes, her voice chocking., “I love you brother… more than anything… We’ll get through this… together…” Her hug was even tighter.
“Will you be a good girl?” I asked her in a low voice.
She nodded solemnly., “I will, big bro… No more fighting you… no more ignoring you… I’ll put down my phone and focus on being a good sister…”
