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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiaYf6kD1R
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll leave now." Pete stutters.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvVwn5Mrt9
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIq0qqE4Z8
"Oh, yeah? You think you're grown?" Dad snaps back.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDLjOhqcy
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gK7EOLqMM
"Karolina, get the fuck out of our house now!" Daddy yells.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKPHHS1Wy
"Are you fucking serious?" She yells.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1yHpmjV2O
"Karo, go until things cool down here," I say. She looks at me, and it finally dawns on her what she has just done.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHm57bu9YA
"Daddy, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She starts to cry. Too little, too late, Karo. "Please."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyk4CYi7AJ
"Get out of my sight," he says.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdLAc8jsWu
"Can I at least get clothes?" She says, choking back tears.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGokrU6FEg
"You have five minutes."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iP5dLwGp5
"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJXNPx9pGv
"Mama, why are you crying?" he starts to get scared.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7AoOhX5jA
"It's okay, Mi Vida. Mama is okay. I made you some Star Wars Pancakes."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1jxbAo2LT
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6qEvAjy90
"Shoot! Are you sure you're okay with me leaving?" I ask.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkCn3d0gq
"Mija, yes, go. We will keep him occupied while you get ready." He kisses the top of my head.

"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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHml3nm36YQ
"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?
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPVy4WymSX
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NjghYwQp
"You think you're so perfect, don't you?" she says, rubbing her tears with the back of her hand.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOgGA4S3PV
"I'm far from perfect. Dude, Karo, why did you hit Ma?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeftuXYW0F
"I fucking snapped, and I blacked out. I fucked up, didn't I?" Karo says. I nod. "Damn it!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmoR7PDDLY
"Where are you going? To Peter's?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA36tRh402X
"Fuck, no! To Tia Sofia's."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2o1Wdv1Px
"Oh, shit, Chucky is going to love that." I laugh.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJrhzF10sV
"I know! It's going to be great!" Karo laughs. "Hey, Trina' I'm sorry I've been a major bitch."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMVcFyQ6WG
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlQTACJX8Z
"Hey, I love you too. Have fun today. Don't get pregnant, bitch!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5ayJZSQ4
"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.
