People also said she was prettier than me, but I didn't care cause I love my sister and she loved me. We grew so closely together when we were little. We were inseparable but when we got older things started to change. It started when we turned 15 and my sister started hanging out with the wrong crowd she started acting differently towards mostly because I didn't want to hang out with her and her friends.

"Did you have fun atleast? " "Yes for a while." Melissa replied. "Why can't you let yourself have proper fun. Your always doing this." Nicky said annoyed and stormed out of the room.
