“She abandoned us both a long tio I’ve come to terms with it Owen hasn’t He still believes our , he’ll figure it out someday”

The bitterness in Fable’s voice makes me hurt for her We both come from really screwed-up situations With parents who don’t seeive a shit about us, but in radically different ways I wish I could help heal her heart She may say the way her mother treats her and Owen doesn’t bother her, but I know she has to be lying It probably hurts like hell

My father’s indifference and neglect hurts me to do this day My mom’s death—I sometimes feel like she abandoned me, and it wasn’t even her fault That’s how irrational o into what Adele’s done to a

Theslot, Fable’s already out of the truck, running toward her apart a little et in a few private moments with her brother first

When I finally walk into the apartment, I’m shocked The place is literally e roo nook Every cabinet door is hanging open in the kitchen

Owen and Fable are leaning against the kitchen counter She has her arainst her shoulder Tears are strea down her face but she doesn’t look sad

She looks majorly pissed

“I hate her,” she says vehemently “I can’t believe she would do this She took my bed, Drew She took Owen’s too And all the furniture in our rooms It’s like they dumped out all our stuff that was in the drawers and left everything in a pile on our floor”

“How could she have done this, hauled everything out of here so fast?” I glance around the eone I’ve only been inside her apartment once but I remember it crammed packed with a bunch of stuff

“She has friends Or I’m sure her loser boyfriend has a ton of friends I bet they plied the out as fast as they could” She shakes her head “Owen and I both left before six”

And it’s past eleven now “So they had at least five hours”

“It’s a how fast you can hen you need to” Her ry twist

My ar and tell her everything’s going to be okay But she’s too busy taking care of her brother and right now he’s her nu helpless, I walk down the hall and glance into Fable’s roo but a pile of clothes andin the floor as she h his is an incredible mess Her mom’s room is completely empty

This is truly some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen
