Hazel
It’s time to come home,” my younger sister Ashley’s frustrated voice
rings through the phone.
I huff out a breath. This is what I’ve been dreading. I knew my selfimposed exile couldn’t last forever. Last year when I got the call from my
dad that my mom was sick, I knew I would have to go home. I was just
hoping I would’ve had longer than the five years I’ve been gone before
being beckoned back to Rose Valley.
“I know. It’s just that I’ve got so much going on out here. I’m not sure
how quickly I’ll be able to get back home.”
I pull my lip into my mouth, chewing on it. The idea of returning home
makes me so nervous I just might throw up. I swallow down the bile trying
to creep up my throat as flashes of memories from the night I left home run
through my mind. Dexter lying in bed, bloody, broken and bruised from a
rough fight. I can still feel the way my salty tears tracked down my face as I
got a text that changed the course of my life. I bring my fingertips up to my
cheeks as if I could wipe them away, along with all the pain I’ve lived with
for the past five years.
“Hazel.” The harshness of Ashley’s tone brings me back from the past,
forcing me to pay attention to her. “You need to come home. We need you.
Mom needs you. Dad needs you. I need you. And I know you’re in between
jobs now.”
“How do you know about that?” I ask with a razor edge sharpness to my
tone.
“Mom told me.” I let out a soft chuckle. Of course, my mom told her. You
can’t keep anything a secret in this family. “But don’t worry, I know the
perfect one for you—”
“Ashley. I know you’re trying to help, but I can find a job myself,” I
interrupt her before she can continue.
“I’m sorry. I just want to help. I get it, I won’t push anymore. I’ll just say
one last thing, you can stay with me if you don’t want to stay at Mom’s. At
least until you find an apartment.”
I hate it when my sister gets in these modes. I call it her fixer mode. She
loves to solve problems and her solutions always make fucking sense,
which pisses me off more. Why does she have to fix things in a logical
way?
I’m the older sister by three years. Shouldn’t I be the wise one, telling her
to get her shit together, not the other way around? I should be the one who
solves problems and gives advice.
But once again I have to admit, she’s
right. “Okay. You win. I’ll call the movers today and hopefully I’ll be back
in a week.” I heave a heavy sigh as my shoulders sag.
A screech leaves her, and then she starts talking a mile a minute with
excitement.
