Chapter 6

For the rest of that day, I couldn’t get Miranda out of my mind. It wasn’t just the conversation she’d had with Lexie that was throwing me off, either. It was the fact that she was with Lexie at all. What was she thinking? That girl was so obviously trouble…

I tried to push both of the girls out of my mind, but it was impossible. I lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling trying to think of anything else, but I couldn’t. All I could think about was the Miranda I knew from so long ago. That little girl who used to follow Beck around everywhere. The one who always begged to join in and was so sweet, so innocent.

Where had that girl gone?

And as soon as the question flitted through my brain, I knew the answer. It was my fault. I’d caused her whole world to come flying apart and the result was this new, bitter, angry girl who was making the kind of stupid mistakes that were the ones I’d been making years ago.

I thought that maybe I wasn’t the one who should be judging her in the first place—and it was none of my business, right?

But I couldn’t help but remember Beck as I laid on my back staring at the blank ceiling above me.

“Get out, Miranda!” Beck yelled at her little sister.

Miranda was only thirteen and her favorite pastime seemed to be spying on us. She had been lingering in the doorway for who knew how long now, watching us as we dressed up and put on make-up, blaring the music while Beck’s parents were out.

At the sound of Beck’s scolding, though, she bolted from the doorway. We could hear her tramping down the stairs quickly.

“I hate it when she does that,” Beck told me, making a frustrated sound.

I waved off her concerns, painting on a bright red color on my lips. “She’s a kid. It’s annoying, but no biggie. She runs as soon as we catch her. It’s not like she asks to join or anything.”

I glanced over at Beck, but she was still frowning. She still hadn’t finished her make-up yet, but instead of picking up the mascara, she just sat there staring at the tube that sat on the counter.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I turned to her. “What’s the problem? So what if she snoops sometimes?”

Beck looked at me, and I realized that she was really worried. Not just annoyed at her little sister for being all up in her business or worried that she was going to tell on us or something. There was something else that was bugging her.

“I just worry, you know?”

No, I definitely didn’t know. “Um, not really,” I told her honestly, putting the tube of lipstick down on the counter and taking a seat on the edge of the bed. “Care to elaborate?”

She lifted her shoulders uncertainly in a small shrug. “I don’t know,” she began, second guessing herself. “It just seems like she’s so young.
