Ellie

“Where’s Shit-For-Brains?”

“Dawn, will you stop?”

“Ellie, will you grow a brain?What are you doing letting that asshole near you again?Didn’t you learn the first time he broke your heart?”Dawn snaps and I sigh.I knew this wasn’t going to go easy.It’s one of the reasons I purposely didn’t tell her or Mom that I was talking to Liam again.Dawn might be older than me by a few years, but most times she acts like she’s thirteen and never going to grow up.

“I left him, remember?”

“Because you didn’t have a choice.You always were so weak when it came to that shit.You have to be strong.This world doesn’t owe you anything and the last thing you should ever do is let people run over you.”

“I’m not weak.I had choices,” I mumble, because I did and I’m starting to think I made the wrong one.

“Whatever.You always let people run over you.Besides, you wouldn’t tell me why you left?—”

“That’s because it was no one’s business.It was between me and Liam, no one else,” I insist, stubbornly.It was really between the club and Liam, but even though I was upset with the things that Liam was put in charge of, I would never betray his confidence in me.

“You say that, but it was me and Mom who put you back together and helped you stand after he left you miserable.”

“He didn’t leave me!”I yell.“I left and I’m starting to think maybe I shouldn’t have.I think maybe I made a mistake, Dawn.”

“You’re just saying that because you want laid.I’m so sick of women who can’t even think straight when they get near a man’s dick.What is so great about those damn things, anyway?They’re ugly as hell.They look like a mushroom that was outside during a nuclear explosion.”

“Will you give it a rest?Would you like to know what I think about vaginas?Even the name alone is gross,” I respond and get instantly rewarded with what I like to call her scrunched-up-bitch-face.

“You need to kick his ass to the curb.”

“My relationship with Liam is my business.Lay off of him.We have problems, but we’re trying and I may not know a lot, but I know that Liam is the only man I’ll ever love.”

“Whatever,” she sighs and I notice she’s staring at the stairs and looking unsure of herself.I’m not used to that from Dawn.Hell, most of the time she scares me.Dawn is headstrong, loud and stubborn.She never backs down and there’s always a seething anger inside of her.Mom has traces of it, but Dawn is definitely more extreme.

I follow her gaze up the stairs.Glenna went up there to the guest bedroom not long after they got here.Liam is upstairs in my bed, giving me time with my sister.He kissed me good night and gave Dawn a goodbye that sounded more like an undistinguishable grunt.He should probably get sainthood for that, considering how she acts towards him and exactly what Dawn interrupted.

“You want to tell me what’s going on with you and Glenna?”

“Nothing,” she mumbles.

“Now who is lying?”

“She told me on the way down here tonight that she doesn’t want to be in a committed relationship with me anymore.”

“Shit.”

“Yeah.What really sucks, is that what she really means is she wants to start dating guys again.I mean I get it, she likes both men and women.She’s always been upfront with me about that.But, she promised me when we started seeing each other that I was enough.She swore she was happy.Now, barely two months in…”

“I’m sorry, Dawn.”

“It doesn’t matter.I’ll handle it.”

“Have you tried talking to her and letting her know that?—”

“Save it, Sis.I’ve had this conversation.Her compromise is she wants to have a threesome partner.”

“How do you feel about that?”

“I’ll talk to you in the morning,” she grumbles, shutting down the conversation.

“Okay.”
