“Respect, love Real love and the title Old Lady by his choice I saw it in his eyes He wanted to claim you, brand you, and keep you all to himself” She huffs “You never even wanted that”
“I wanted Shadow and whatever came with him”
“You want to kno I did it? I pretended to be you I crept in, all shy and buhts off while I alteredit good for you Touching me with a tenderness I haven’t ever experienced since Not even fro bastard” Her lower lip trembles
“Why?”
“Because I could Because I hate you as much as I love you”
Her words are a knife toout of the metaphysical wound she’d inflicted as my psyche screa from the attack “You did this All I ever wanted was to be your little sister For you to be happy withthe Calla I looked to for protection, knowledge, and coure out what I did”

She snickers “Ask Dad He’ll tell you a story I know you never heard before”
I push away from the table and stand “We’re done here” I tune out her voice as I’ my hands I’ll send soress if he doesn’t want to co any tidbits The hate I witnessed in her heart one awry This is a uided sense of wrong
I watched her change daht How she could put that on anyone other than herself baffles ustsup to her and later finding out she was carrying his child The betrayal burns I’ve been kiddingother than evil lives inside that woman I won’t make the same mistake twice

It felt good riding with my boy He was about ready for his own bike soon I plan on saving it for his graduation present though Despite all the adversity he faced growing up, he was a good kid It wasn’t easy being associated with the club We park in front of the local Whippy Dip place I always used to take him as a kid
We walk over, and the blonde behind the counter bats her lashes at Bolt
I can’t help but smirk Like father like son
