“Have you eaten?” And that’s the only way Aaron gives a real apology. Cooking.

“No. Are you going to make me food?”

“Let me see what you have.” He walks toward the kitchen and opens my fridge, sighing at the emptiness of it. “No wonder you look like you lost ten pounds. When is the last time you ate?” I wrack my brain for an answer.

“Last time I ate a real meal, or last time I ate on the go, from a food truck?”

“Sal,” my brother crosses his arms and sends me his look of disapproval, “do you want me to call in a council for you or unleash Mom on your case? You work like crazy, you barely eat. I’m not sure you’re sleeping much either. I’m worried.”

I have to admit that I’ve had trouble keeping my emotions in check in the last two weeks.

Exhaustion is undoubtedly the cause of my ups and downs. But hearing him say he’s worried when last time I saw him he didn’t give a shit about how I felt, infuriates me. I want to strangle him.

Forget being tired, I’m running on adrenaline, and I want to kick my older brother’s ass!

“Are you? Because you’ve been silent for a while as far as where I’m concerned. You barely reached out for months, except to ask me about Chris. I get it, he’s your friend, but I’m your sister, your only sister. You froze me out in the same way Jordan and Chris did. You accused me of taking advantage of him when he called you, and God knows what you told him about me. He was the only one who understood what I was going through, and you pushed him away! So spare me the worried act, even Barn was more worried about me than you were. Go back to your perfect life, and continue judging me from your pedestal because you’re all mighty on top of the world right now when others are scrambling to get their lives back together! So fuck you! Fuck. You!”

I’m fuming and out of breath, but I lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I feel good.

“Feeling better?” Aaron smiles instead of screaming at me or ripping me a new one.

“Fuck yes!” I sigh. “I’m sorry, most of those things were not really directed toward you…”

“You don’t say.” He laughs. “Want to tell me about it? About Chris? About Jordan kicking you out to the curb?”

“Do you have a week or two?” I let my laugh die, refusing to go there.

“I’ll just tell you one thing, Chris was also distant with me. I didn’t push you away, and I really thought you were okay. You hide things from us, Sal, we already spoke about that. You don’t share your feelings, or what happens to you. It’s hard to see you shut us out all the time, but we try the best we can to let you breathe. I think Jordan had Chris on a pretty tight leash. I don’t know what happened between them and how Jordan got so much into Chris’ head, but he did.
