Tears prick my eyes at her words. She’s right, she does know how I feel and at the same time, she has absolutely no idea. She has her parents who will no doubt forgive her eventually.

They’re good people, nice people. They aren’t dead or locked away in prison like mine. She also has a whole slew of relatives, aunts, uncles, and cousins that she can turn to for help. The only person I have is the one who told me to never come back.

I want to say something else, but I don’t know what to write back. Anything that I say would probably come off as snarky. Closing my eyes, I suck in a breath and let it out slowly before I open them and write something back as nicely as possible.

I’m happy for you. I know that you really love him.

JENNA: Please come back. We can all live together. I’ll make sure he accepts you.

It’s sweet really, but Brent made it very clear that I was not welcome. I don’t say that to her though. There’s no reason for it. This isn’t Jenna’s fault. This is just what’s happened.

I don’t hate my brother, in fact, I think that he was right. I’m making a hasty decision. I don’t know Wesley at all. But I also need to make my own mistakes and maybe he shouldn’t judge me so harshly for them.

I’ve made my bed, no matter what it’s made out of. I don’t type any of that to Jenna, instead, I give her a generic reply, but one that she will accept. Even if it is a bald-faced lie.

I’m happy. This is what I choose, what I want. I found my place.
