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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O12xK0my5
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll leave now." Pete stutters.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh6y4hj0W0
"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvckrlhq2f7
"Oh, yeah? You think you're grown?" Dad snaps back.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwpEyR8RL
"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16vj7qKAS
"Karolina, get the fuck out of our house now!" Daddy yells.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0bsA6bXHn
"Are you fucking serious?" She yells.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCGoph7RR
"Karo, go until things cool down here," I say. She looks at me, and it finally dawns on her what she has just done.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsG699IDg
"Daddy, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She starts to cry. Too little, too late, Karo. "Please."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtox7enlsC
"Get out of my sight," he says.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiIjZqqXZc
"Can I at least get clothes?" She says, choking back tears.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPuq60bZ7W
"You have five minutes."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBYfQ53D4
"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pvQbXvvdU
"Mama, why are you crying?" he starts to get scared.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1g0bixFN4
"It's okay, Mi Vida. Mama is okay. I made you some Star Wars Pancakes."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQLxOoWeO
"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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dNOtiezcx
"Shoot! Are you sure you're okay with me leaving?" I ask.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ty8fDq06T
"Mija, yes, go. We will keep him occupied while you get ready." He kisses the top of my head.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6RUegX8lW
"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomyYzGhw8i
"She needs a few days away from us to appreciate what she has. I need to take this time to think too."

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?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8WkzmIMua
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKOFzGD5sl
"You think you're so perfect, don't you?" she says, rubbing her tears with the back of her hand.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw3ZZtV25O
"I'm far from perfect. Dude, Karo, why did you hit Ma?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCc90Shyl8
"I fucking snapped, and I blacked out. I fucked up, didn't I?" Karo says. I nod. "Damn it!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvzzpqXsm
"Where are you going? To Peter's?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG0Y1kjnV0
"Fuck, no! To Tia Sofia's."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGapcbEiGB
"Oh, shit, Chucky is going to love that." I laugh.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlchCs0fBG0
"I know! It's going to be great!" Karo laughs. "Hey, Trina' I'm sorry I've been a major bitch."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMF7p8W2u2
"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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkzuUQzRAi
"Hey, I love you too. Have fun today. Don't get pregnant, bitch!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2YIirELp
"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.
