Sibling Bonds

by Liseegirl

Peter is confused. He has begun to develop feelings for his step sister, Jan. He isn't quite sure what to do about it. They both begin to write the course of events in diaries, which help them to realize who they are, and how they relate to each other. Will they always be brother and sister, or will they, someday, be able to have something more.

2. My Date With My Big Brother

Hey! So here's Jan's version of senior night. I hope you enjoy it!

June 9, 1974- My Date With My Big Brother

Greg and Marcia gave me this diary on senior night. They gave Peter one, too. They said they wanted me to write down my thoughts in it. I guess they must have told Peter the same thing. I wonder what he's going to write in his diary.

Oh, and by the way, my name is Jan, and Greg, Marcia, and Peter are three of my siblings. My mom and dad got married when I was almost eleven years old. My real dad died a year or so before that. I have five brothers and sisters: Greg, Marcia, Peter, Bobby, and Cindy.

I'm one of the middle kids. In fact, I used to wish I was an only child. It felt like I was always drowning in Marcia's shadow. I mean, it seemed like she was practically perfect. And Cindy was the adorable one. She was so adorable that it made me feel like an ugly duckling.

The only one of siblings who really understood where I was coming from was Peter. Being the other middle child, he struggled with similar insecurities, although his weren't as prevalent. For this reason, Peter and I got pretty close. So close, in fact, that when my date for senior night backed out on me because I was being a total jerk, he offered to take me. Who would have thought that he'd ask out his little sister?

Anyway, senior night was groovy! My speech went great! Every one said that I did a really great job, and that they forgave me. Billy Garst even asked me on a date to the pizza place for next Saturday. I told him I'd think about it. I wonder why I said that…. Maybe it was because Peter was staring at Billy like he was going to bop him one. And for some strange reason, I liked that.

Peter was a terrific date, even though, in his own words, he's my "own dumb brother." I even told him that any girl would be lucky to go out with him. He smiled, and I kissed him on the cheek. Oddly enough, he seemed to really like that. I wonder why….

Anyway I had a great time, and I think that Peter did, too! At least, I hope he did. I wonder why I care so much what Peter thinks all of a sudden. Who knows?

Yours truly,

Jan Brady

Please, please, please, read and review! It means a lot! :D
