chapter 34

Julie:

"Omg, I'm so happy we're finally going on vacation for a week of rest with Angel. Since I found out I was sick, it's been hard – Mom stopped going out or on vacation. It's been a while since we've all been together, and I'm thrilled that Alex will be there to keep Sara occupied. In a few months, I have to start my treatment, and it's a big step for me. Saving up throughout the year is finally paying off. I'm also relieved that Angel is leaving with Mary because I don't want her to see me in the condition I'll be in during my treatment.

I just want her to have good memories of me. In a way, I'm trying to make everything right with my sister, despite our differences. She's my sister, and I love her, even though there's been hurt on both sides. I shouldn't have slept with Alex, but I can't change the past. I've learned from my mistakes, and I won't let it happen again.
