A/N: Short. Again. My apologies... and it's kind of repetitive of what you already know. But I think reinforcing it might help solidify the plot a little. This story's kind of all over the board, but if I grind Skinny's background into you, maybe it won't be so confusing? *hopeful smile*

Variation #1: "Fall Apart"

21. Vacation

The only vacation Skinny had ever had was a week off school when her mother had died.

She'd been four years old, and in pre-school.

Her dad had said he'd make it up to her.

He ran out of time.
