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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1LqeGBs0
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll leave now." Pete stutters.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mJ7zXSxg6
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnosl8r9UJ
"Karolina, get the fuck out of our house now!" Daddy yells.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8njCvUQ0MU
"Are you fucking serious?" She yells.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUybAZJ8bw
"Karo, go until things cool down here," I say. She looks at me, and it finally dawns on her what she has just done.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9WlqCurEj
"Daddy, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She starts to cry. Too little, too late, Karo. "Please."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVfE7m6ctG
"Get out of my sight," he says.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2iXE3yh6M
"Can I at least get clothes?" She says, choking back tears.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdskNe9lFM
"You have five minutes."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0wAR7Gi19
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIdNrwJSF
"Mama, why are you crying?" he starts to get scared.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hWI9QqO2s
"It's okay, Mi Vida. Mama is okay. I made you some Star Wars Pancakes."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGaIetduCV
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZdfHWPdi
"Shoot! Are you sure you're okay with me leaving?" I ask.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmebe3OwDHF
"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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46gneX31m
"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?
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxfZKTbfTK
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRvgqTgbV1
"You think you're so perfect, don't you?" she says, rubbing her tears with the back of her hand.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMLyeUstZg
"I'm far from perfect. Dude, Karo, why did you hit Ma?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4j7JYrSDK
"I fucking snapped, and I blacked out. I fucked up, didn't I?" Karo says. I nod. "Damn it!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIGalRASbS
"Where are you going? To Peter's?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwRrtOl3M
"Fuck, no! To Tia Sofia's."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6koZcBD0xD
"Oh, shit, Chucky is going to love that." I laugh.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQoGgkxc8r
"I know! It's going to be great!" Karo laughs. "Hey, Trina' I'm sorry I've been a major bitch."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNznj01O3
"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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Ko6cQ0o7
"Hey, I love you too. Have fun today. Don't get pregnant, bitch!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJeS0HEfeS
"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.
