Chapter 12- That's why I like you.

After a check up from the nurses, and a long interview from the police, Tammy came into the room pale and with a solemn look painted onto her face.

It was the first time I saw her so mature, so in need of company, she looked so empty, so alone. And right at this second I didn't care if all these years it had been wasted on her evil, bitchy ways, I didn't care that she had always brought me down, because right now, she was my sister and she needed me.

"Cali, I need to speak to you," she breathed, a shaky breath came out from her lips as if she was nervous.

Before I could even ask, Kyle got up to leave, but before he did, he brought his lips down onto my forehead. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I looked into his eyes and smiled, he smiled right back.

Tammy came and sat down in the chair Kyle was just sat in.

"You make a perfect couple," she started. I scoffed.

"We're not together," she smiled. "what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, wanting to get it over and done with.

"First of all, I'd like to apologise, you don't have to forgive me, that's not what I'm asking for, I just want to explain," she let out in a breath.

"I'll give you that," was my only reply.

"I was so childish, I wanted to bring you down, I wanted to be better than you so I could be on top, that's why I'm such a bitch, you would always comeback with the best things, you'd always win, and I hated that, that's why it continued," she started.

"You were jealous?" I whispered, completely bewildered.

"Yes," she breathed. "I was completely, extremely jealous of you." A tear made it's way to the edge of her eyes, threatening to spill over.

"Don't cry,"

"It's just, I'm supposed to be your big sister, I'm supposed to be there for you, I'm supposed to protect you, Cali, and I never did that!" She sniffed angrily.

"You did protect me, against mom," I said truthfully. If it wasn't for her and Kyle I would have been dead. She nodded.

"But before that, mom would always be on my side, and I bathed in that attention, it took over my life, today, I had been taught a lesson, you were so strong against mom, I finally realised that I had the best sister in the world, and I should have never treated you the way I did," she sobbed. I laid my hand on top of hers.

"I don't care about the past anymore," I replied. "Let's forget about it,"

"How could you forget that?"

"Because you're my sister, and I don't care about it, I care about now and the future," I shrugged.

"I never meant it to get this far, not like that, I would never ever touch you in a bad way, I loved you, even if it seemed like I hated you, and I know on the surface I did, but the jealousy was so strong, deep down I loved you, you're my sister why wouldn't I?" She sniffed while she took hold of my hand with both her hands.

I brought my lips to her cheek.

"I love you too," I whispered. She smiled and brushed my hair back. "and I forgive you," I smiled. She looked relieved.

"Thank you so much," she breathed.

"What are sisters for?" I smiled cheekily. She laughed.

"I'll start acting like a sister, I promise,"
