After all this time, I never wanted her to find out the truth. I thought it would destroy her. What I should’ve realised however, is that my baby sister is so much stronger than any of us give her credit for. I also should’ve known secrets always have a way of breaking down, and that it was inevitable she would find her whole life being twisted into one giant question mark eventually. Now? I’m relieved she discovered the truth while I’m still here to support her. I can get her through this. I can share stories about our mother, I can console her when she cries and I can make damn sure my dad steps up to the mark before I go. That’s why I wanted to talk alone with him. I don’t give a shit if he fails me… but if I find out he’s fucked with Emily’s head once I’m gone I will fucking haunt him. “This is all such a mess,” my dad said, shaking his head as he draped his long, grey coat over the back of his chair before sitting down in it.
