Danielle and I sat in silence in the room for a while. Then she hugged me, and for once, I didn't push her away. I held her. It felt so good to be held by someone again, and even better to have my sister hold me. I knew I had made her understand. She got why I felt the way I did. She knew that my life had been a living nightmare since they had left. She knew what our mom and brother had gone through so that I could have a semblance of a normal life. She understood why I was hurting.
Now I had an ally, I wasn't alone anymore. I knew she really loved me and she was regretting ever leaving me behind. And that's all I wanted; I wanted someone to see what they had done to us when they left.
I laid there in Danielle's arms for a long time. She finally made me get up to go eat something. After we had eaten she moved some of her stuff up to my room and got the air mattress and blew it up beside my bed.
I wasn't alone anymore… I wasn't alone
Sorry this is a short chapter…but hopefully it answers some questions.
