I wake up and jump out of bed, excited to get ready to spend the whole day alone with Marco. I go check the bathroom and am relieved that Karo is not in there. She must still be asleep, and then I hear the yelling. I go downstairs to see what is going on. I see Pete sitting on the couch, and he looks like he wants to run for his life. Karo is seated next to him with her arms crossed, staring down, daddy.

"What do you have to say for yourselves?" My dad yells.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgzZCML07
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll leave now." Pete stutters.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h3vPFvXUY
"You don't have to say sorry to him, babe. I can do whatever the fuck I want. I'm eighteen. I don't have to listen to them," Karo says.

"Oh, yeah? You think you're grown?" Dad snaps back.

"Yes, I don't have to do shit, you say. You're such fucking dick!" Karo screams. My mama comes over and grabs her arm and shakes her a bit. "You fucking bitch!" Karo stands up and does something that shocks the fuck out of me. She slaps our mama across the face.

"KARO! What the fuck?" I yell. I run over to mama. "Are you okay, mama?" My daddy's face looks lethal, and to be honest, it scares me.

"Karolina, get the fuck out of our house now!" Daddy yells.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA8iafjvTo
"Are you fucking serious?" She yells.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATKNgkrqoS
"Karo, go until things cool down here," I say. She looks at me, and it finally dawns on her what she has just done.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19xchozVt
"Daddy, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She starts to cry. Too little, too late, Karo. "Please."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeEhgcLOnn
"Get out of my sight," he says.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ1trfpa0x
"Can I at least get clothes?" She says, choking back tears.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfdQWzyAVp
"You have five minutes."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HJ43ryv8H
"I'm sorry, Mama," she cries. "I really am." She says as she goes up the stairs. Mama has tears falling down her face.

Joey comes down the stairs rubbing his eyes from his sleep. He notices mama crying, and he runs to her.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCja5y46oj
"Mama, why are you crying?" he starts to get scared.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaUTKx7gbf
"It's okay, Mi Vida. Mama is okay. I made you some Star Wars Pancakes."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkJBpu7lI
"StarWars! Can I eat them now?" He screeches and runs into the kitchen.

"Katrina, aren't supposed to go with Marco today?" Daddy asks. I nod. "It's almost ten."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBA0sx7UnA
"Shoot! Are you sure you're okay with me leaving?" I ask.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRfrFAsAKj
"Mija, yes, go. We will keep him occupied while you get ready." He kisses the top of my head.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlUk76DGFQ
"Daddy, I know I'm going to regret saying this, but take it easy on my sister," I say, and he raises his eyebrows at me.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6AGH4O9PT
"She needs a few days away from us to appreciate what she has. I need to take this time to think too."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn5dePTGKb
I run up the stairs, and she is packing her rolling suitcase, and she is grabbing her backpack of school books. She looks up at me, and she looks angry at me. What the hell?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbr0PNz2jz
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KXqyYiefO
"You think you're so perfect, don't you?" she says, rubbing her tears with the back of her hand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Usq0opEJ6
"I'm far from perfect. Dude, Karo, why did you hit Ma?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerglybogOt
"I fucking snapped, and I blacked out. I fucked up, didn't I?" Karo says. I nod. "Damn it!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLJmVuBuPF
"Where are you going? To Peter's?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zuVeqGQnM
"Fuck, no! To Tia Sofia's."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0nyWJyO3S
"Oh, shit, Chucky is going to love that." I laugh.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLR7weh36s
"I know! It's going to be great!" Karo laughs. "Hey, Trina' I'm sorry I've been a major bitch."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJXcbs81n
"It's okay. You better go before Daddy doesn't let you take anything. I will work on things here for you. I love you, Karo. You're my sister."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92zsdVB13S
"Hey, I love you too. Have fun today. Don't get pregnant, bitch!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE0WzhsSlL
"Fuck you, get out of here."

She leaves the room, and even though we fight like cats and dogs, she is my sister. She is my twin. I hope this will open her eyes, and she decides to change her ways.

I know what happened right now is terrible, but all I can think about is Marco and how happy I am when I'm with him. I deserve happiness and am going for it.
I get ready while the hoards of butterflies take flight in my belly. This day will be fantastic. I can feel it in my bones.
