She had been fixated on Rex Balsom since she was twelve years old. If she really thought about it, she couldn't say exactly why. He had come to her rescue that first day of school, but when Gigi and he started dating, she couldn't have been happier for her big sister. One of them deserved to be happy, and it certainly wasn't going to be Stacy…
But when Gigi abandoned her, up and abandoned her, three years later, Stacy knew there was no going back. All she had wanted was to be a good sister, but obviously Gigi didn't feel the same way. To leave her at home…with her dad who—and her mom, who did nothing to help…Gigi must've really hated her.
Without Gigi's happiness to fixate on, to focus on the glimmer that could make her horrible life livable, Stacy's intense emotion shifted to something else. Loathing. Unadulterated loathing. How dare she race for freedom and leave Stacy to fend for herself? Gigi had always been given everything, and Stacy nothing, yet it was never good enough. Everything Stacy had done to protect Gigi, blocking her from her father's backhand, from his…advances. And then she up and left.
Damn her.
Well, Stacy had taken on the burden for their entire childhood…Now, maybe, it was finally Gigi's turn….

So, what do you think? Any chance redeeming Stacy (or at least justifying her actions) would make for an interesting story?
