Chapter 106

Brooklyn

Jolie gasps as I stumble into the house.

"Brooklyn!" she cries, her hands immediately on my arms, steadying me. "Are you alright? What's-"

But as soon as I turn my tear-stained face up to hers, she wraps me in a hug and holds me close. "Oh, baby," she coddles, "don't cry! It's okay! What's wrong?"

I don't say anything for a while, just letting my sister hold me tight while I cry my heart out.

She obliges, shushing me softly and making comfortable noises until I'm finished.

When my tears start to lessen, she gently peels me off her, crouching down to look in my face.

"Brooklyn," she whispers, shaking her head at me in wonder. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

I sniff, wiping at my nose and looking around the house. "Is Dad home?"

She shakes her head. "No, he went out with his buddies. He won't be back for a while."

"Good," I say. "I don't want him to know."

"Know what?" Jolie begs, her eyes going wider with wonder. I can tell she's as intrigued as she is worried. "Come on," I say, taking her hand and nodding towards the couch. "I'll tell you everything-"

"Nooo," she says, digging in her feet and not letting me pull her into the living room. "With tears like that, we're having this talk over vodka.
