My mother was a rainicorn, and my papa was a dog. Things were bound to be interesting. But no one expected a defect as… unsettling as Jake Jr.'s. Her horn was on her butt, and she was born sightless. She never needed anyone's help finding her food, or navigating the barn, but she always relied on me whenever we went into the Candy Kingdom. Viola, Charlie, and T.V wouldn't understand the ways she leans on me, the help I have to provide for her. I love all my siblings as equals, but JJ (that's her nickname) needs me, and for some reason, I need her, too. The thought of living without her makes me feel different. It's a twisty, uncomfortable feeling in my heart guts that I really just can't cope with.
I express my sibling love in different ways for all of them. T.V's is flight assistance, Charlie's is epic paw fives, Viola's is playing Beemo with her. JJ's is a kiss on the cheek. Mom said it was fine, but never in public. People might get the wrong impression. And one time, I biffed it up and kissed her cheek on the playground. The other children called me "Gross" and "Sibling lover", but I blocked them out. I do love my siblings, but not like that. JJ told me she was sorry I got in trouble for showing her affection. Charlie and T.V told Papa. Viola and Mom just cried.
I felt awful for making my family ashamed of me, awful that JJ felt ashamed of herself. So I never kissed her cheek again. I tried other ways of showing her, but none of them felt the same. None felt as special. I'm beginning to wonder, maybe I do love Jake Jr. in a special way. Even if I do, I can't act upon it. It's wrong, and I never want to make my family disappointed. I will ignore these feelings because they're disgusting. I won't hurt my siblings like that ever again. My mother was a rainicorn, my papa was a dog. Things were bound to be interesting.
