"Don't you think we should do something?" Embry, my half-brother from my loser father asks me about the drunk girl still drinking on my porch.

"Like what?" I ask him. She gets violent when she's drunk so I find it best to just let her drink until she passes out.

"Maybe take the vodka out of her hands or maybe call her dad?" He suggests.

"Like he cares but if you care then go take it from her. I did it last time."

He sneaks up on her and grabs the bottle from her and backs up before she can hit him.

"Give it back Embry!" She screams trying to attack him. Luckily she's not all the coordinated even sober.

Bella is our 15 year old best friend, possibly half-sister from the same loser father.

My father left when I was too little to even remember him and my mom worked so hard to support us I hardly ever saw her until one day it was like her career was her family and I was just in the way. Embry's mom would never tell him who his father was when we were younger until one day she spilled the long time secret in her drunkenness. She's constantly disappearing then showing up again promising she's never going to drink again. Embry was pretty much raised by my babysitter because his mom would dump him off with my mom when he was little.

Bella had a great childhood with a loving devoted dad. Her mom died in childbirth so she actually shared the same babysitter when her dad worked so the 3 of us grew up close. When she was 13 she got sick and needed a blood transfusion which is how is came out that her dad, Charlie, is not actually her dad. It tore their family of two apart. Charlie couldn't handle the fact that his wife cheated on him and then died giving birth to a daughter that is not his. Since she doesn't have any relatives on Renee's side and he had no idea who her real father is he was forced to keep her but he quit loving her.

And that is why she is drunk and trying to kill Embry.

"Where did she even get the vodka?" He asks me jumping out of her way once again.

"Probably from your house…" I tell him and he says oh.

We don't know for sure if she is our half-sister but the chances are likely since Embry ended up being her blood donor which is part of the reason he's more likely to stop her from being self-destructive I think. Our dad also took off right after Renee died.

Bella knows what we think but she doesn't really care. Embry is the overly forgiving one so he keeps hoping he shows up a new person who wants us. Bella said even if he showed up a new person she would kill him and burn his body. Only after knowing if he's her father of course.

"Help me Sam!" Embry yells at me so I grab her and force her to sit down.

"I hate you!" She screams trying to squirm out of my arms.

"Bella we care about you. You're all we have besides each other. You're too young to kill yourself like this. You hate Embry's mom. Do you want to turn into her?" I ask her and she starts crying.

"You know I don't. I just had a really bad week and then I got home and Charlie was yelling at me because I forgot to do the dishes and then I was waiting for Embry to get ready to come here and I saw the bottle and I thought about how she is such a sucky person but she doesn't even care because she's always drunk and I thought maybe just one more time because it did work for me the last times. It's so much easier to forget the man who raised me hates me when I drink Sam. Please let me have it back?"

Embry tells her no and she storms into the house.

"She needs help Sam. We should talk to your mom." Because even though she's always at work she's the only one who cares at all.

"No. Charlie finds out about her drinking, he'll use it as an excuse to send her away and she needs us."

He agrees with me and I agree to help him control her until she is more stable. And for the next couple of years that's what we do. She's 2 years younger than me and a year younger than Embry so by the time she graduates high school, largely due to us, we already have a mechanic shop up and running, thanks to my mom that she comes to work at.

We convinced her she doesn't need to drink to be happy and we did everything we could to prove it. We became an exclusive group of three until she started working for us. We offered her the receptionist position even though we would have had to fire our current girl but she wanted to be a mechanic. She'd been working on cars with us since she was about 10 so she's good… we just thought she might want to be a girl.

Since she is the only girl mechanic she gets lots of attention from men and while it increases our business I do not like it. Bella on the other hand loves it.

I went out to get lunch for me and her leaving her alone at the shop for 30 minutes at the most since today is Embry's day off. I walk in and she is making out with some man that looks way too old for her.

"Bella!" She looks up in shock then blushes and giggles then pushes him away so I can see his face.

"Shit Bella, that's my dad… meaning there is a good chance you just made out with your father."

The look on her face almost makes it worth happening.
