"You think I don't know that?" he said. "Hearing that I'm the reason we're losing the house feels--"

"I don't care how you feel. No, wait, I do care. I hope you feel terrible. I hope you feel so terrible that--"

"That I wish I'd gotten a job instead of coming back home? That maybe I'd wondered why Mom and Dad always looked so freaked whenever I told them tuition was due?

Guess what, Kate? I feel all that stuff."

He stalked into the kitchen and got out the mop, coming back and thrusting it at me.

"But you know what? This isn't about me and, believe it or not, it isn't even about you.

Mom is really upset, and she can't get the house ready for the real estate agent by herself. So shut up, grow up, and help out."

I stared at him, speechless, and then I started to cry. Not because of what he'd said, but because he was upset too and that, more than anything else, made me realize this was going to happen. It didn't matter that I didn't want it to. It didn't matter that it wasn't fair. What I thought and wanted didn't matter, not in this.

Not in anything.
