The next morning Ken went in to talk to Lori and to check on her. "Sis?" he asked kindly.
"Hmmm?" was all he got from her.
"I just came to check on your cut and to see how you're doing," he replied.
With a sigh she sat up, "I'm okay and the cut is fine," she told him in a stern mixed with annoyed voice.
"What's eating you?" he asked.
"Just sick and tired of everyone thinking I can't take care of myself, this place we are in, is the only home I know of as of right now, if dad wants me he can file a missing person's report," she bellowed.
"Sis?" he asked seeing the tears build up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Kenny, I didn't mean to blow up at you like that," she apologized, "the cut is fine just hurts."
He sat down on the bed with her and took a look at the gash, "it needs stitches, thank goodness you have that insurance."
"Yeah, well, let's go, I'll grab one of Tim's t-shirts since he doesn't mind if I borrow one, once and a while," she told him getting up and getting into the closet and taking out a button up shirt and tossed it to her bed.
Taking her t-shirt off slowly she removed it and tossed it over to the pile of dirty clothes that is in the room. She slipped on Tim's black button up shirt, rolled the sleeves up to her elbows, buttoned all but the top button, tied the bottom in the front after gathering it up so it wasn't hanging down on her butt, "ready," she told him.
"Not until you use the hair brush I know you have here and make something out of that rats nest," he told her with a smile.
She went to the bathroom and grabbed her hair brush and did her hair. After it was brushed and all the knots were out she put it in a ponytail, even though her arm hurt more when she moved it.
"Now we can go," Ken told her and she chuckled and followed him to the main room.
"Tim, I'll be back later, I'm not going home to jackass, keep the bed open for me, yes you can share since it is your bed also thanks for stopping me from killing myself last night," Lori told him.
"Okay and anytime Lori, I'd be lost with out you, since you keep the guys in line around here and all as for the bed, I know you like sleeping by the wall," he told her with a smirk.
She chuckled and followed her brother out the door to go get stitches.
