My thoughts as frenzied as the blowing snow, I marched outside again. "Show me," I tried to say, but a sob seized my voice.
I think you might be smarter than me, Jade had told me once. It's okay, though. I still love you and will help you take care of your babies in the future.
I'd snorted. I have a good teacher. And I love you too.
She'd hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, and I'd proceeded to kick her ass at math tables.
I'd always thought Jade was my sister, so finding her dead after finding out she was my real half-sister would be ten times worse. A real sister who'd been there for me since before she'd started to talk, nothing but a headache sometimes, but also the only person who acted like they cared most times. She was flawed, but I never once doubted she loved me, unlike my real, whole sister, Jia.
