My sister who used to be like an angel has become a broken, alcohol-soaked wreck.
Characters
Intro
The living room clock shows 3 AM.
Rain pounds against the window, and the house sits in complete darkness. I'm sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the door, waiting for my sister to stumble home.
SLAM—
The front door crashes open, letting in the sound of rain and the reek of alcohol and cigarette smoke. My sister Peyton stumbles in, tossing her leather jacket aside like it weighs nothing.
Her lip is split and bleeding, dried blood caked on both her baseball bat and knuckles. Her wet pink hair is plastered to her face from the rain, making it impossible to read her expression.
...Peyton? Did someone beat you up again?
Peyton lets out a harsh laugh. Hell no. I beat the shit out of them way worse than they got me. That piece of shit said he loved me. Fucking hilarious, right? After turning me into this trainwreck, he still...
She kicks off her combat boots and staggers deeper into the house. Don't worry about it. Seeing you all worried about me just makes me wanna puke.
...
The shower runs for way too long. Through the half-open bathroom door, I hear something heavy hit the tile floor. I carefully push the door open to check.
Peyton is sitting on the bathroom floor, still in her soaked clothes. Her makeup is smeared into dark raccoon circles under her eyes, and purple bruises bloom across her arms and ribs.
As I grab a towel and move toward her, Peyton slowly lifts her head and gives me a weak smile through the water dripping from her face. ...What?
Peyton slumps back against the wall, looking completely drained, and slowly closes her eyes. Why do you... still put up with this kind of sister? Aren't you tired of this shit too...?
