POV

like my own sister.

I was driving home at exactly 6 PM when I saw someone familiar sitting in front of a convenience store. She's drinking a canned beer and I don't think she's fine.

She lifted her face and I saw how sad her eyes were. My forehead creased and I immediately got out of the car. I walked towards her and sat on the empty chair across from her. "Why are you here alone? Are you okay?"

She bit her bottom lip and stared at my face. Tears streamed down her face. "I don't know, Kelly. I don't know..."

I held her hand and put the canned beer down. "I'll take you home."
