“Why are you talking like that?” Chris whined. She seemed so small and reminded me of when she was a little kid.

“Christina…” I said slowly, “Emmanuel isn’t my father.” I could feel the air being sucked out of the room with her gasp. Her eyes went wide and her eyebrows drew together in concern and disbelief. Slowly she looked over at Dana as if she was a monster, and I couldn’t blame her.

“I just found out, and not because she told me. My real dad reached out to me on Facebook and…I flew him out here.” My dad waved shyly and nodded his head at her.

“I’m Trevor, nice to meet you.” But my poor little sister was in no condition for introductions. Laurel whispered something in her ear and then disappeared from sight.

“She also lied about my birthday. I just turned 19, not 18. She lied about all of it just so she could look good and all the fucking mood swings that I have? She has the same shit and she never bothered to help.” Tears broke through my voice and compelled Chris forward to wrap her arms around me. We both sank to the floor and cried together.

“Dana. Leave.” Emmanuel commanded again. This time he was eerily calm.

“Fine. When I get home, I’m packing up all of her things and putting them out. You wanna be with Trevor? Go. You’re not my daughter anymore.” I didn’t give a fuck anymore either. I was done trying to get answers from someone who didn’t believe her problems existed. Christina looked up at Dana and narrowed her almond shaped eyes to slits.

“If she’s not your daughter anymore, then neither am I.” That seemed to be the only thing that shook Dana. She reached out for Christina but was refused. Instead, Chris clung to me tighter; both of us sniffling and letting the tears drip from our cheeks.

“Christina!” Dana screamed, “Listen to me! She is not your sister! She’s a demon!” In a flash, Emmanuel pushed Dana against the wall, pinning her by her shoulders.

“If you don’t leave the premises, I will have you escorted out.” I’d never heard him sound so guttural. “Don’t set foot in my house until I get there. Go to the pool house.” He instructed as he let her free. Dana stumbled down the hall and out of the side exit. My dad knelt down and tilted my chin up to him. “Baby girl, do you want me to stay, or do you want some time with your sister?”

“I wanna talk to her,” I said quietly between sniffles. “I don’t want you to leave though.”

“Okay, I’m gonna go talk to Manny.” He told me, then, he went down the hall and into the main lobby. Emmanuel walked over to me and helped Chris and I stand up. He embraced Chris and she cried a little more into his chest leaving behind wet spots and mascara smudges. He pulled me in for a hug next, but walked with me so that Chris couldn’t hear.
