Diana’s Anger

Was this how painful siblings fighting was? I thought, almost rubbing my chest at the stub of pain that was festering there.

I had thought it was only a broken heart from a broken relationship with a lover that could cause this hurt, but the more I watched Diana fuming and probably cussing me in her head, the pain increased. I haven't experienced it before, because I hadn't had a sibling, ever. Lent and Lilian hadn't been siblings. They had been plain thorns in my flesh. But it was different with Diana.

I and Diana, despite the short amount of time we have known each other, were closer, loved each other, and had a deeper relationship than I even had with my foster father. But still then, I didn't regret making the report to Laura and Peter, even though she was boring holes into my head, even though Laura and Peter were looking at me in disappointment. Better now than later, or rather better late than never.
