Carlie flinched. Her sister's words hit her hard. She was right, she WAS acting like a little child. Like she was a spoiled brat. Carlie had never acted like this before. She had always wanted to be strong for her father, always wanted to be the son that he never had. So she always acted tough and like she didn't care about anything. So...maybe this was her way of releasing all of that selfishness and childness she had developed over the years. Was she using her father's and sister's relationship as an excuse to release all of this feeling?<br/><br/>"I...I just want to you to treat me like you treat Celeste..." she finally said, quietly. "I...I just...feel like your relationship...is a better one. It's not that your lov is different, it's just..." Carlie went quiet. She couldn't squeeze out any more words. She just wanted to cry now. Cry and go call her mother so that she could live with her.
