Josh's POV:
                          
I really don't want to tell her. It could break her. Maybe not, but I didn't want to take that chance.
                          
I pulled her into a hug and stroked her long hair. 
                          
"Look, Pren, d- dad left when h-e found out mom was pregnant." I admitted. She gave me a confused look.
                          
"And..? I already knew that." 
                          
"With you." Her eyes shot open. 
                          
"DAD LEFT BECAUSE OF ME?!?!?! HE LEFT. AND IT WAS MY FAULT?!" She pushed me away and got out of the covers.
                          
"Where're you going?" I asked her, knowing she'd be this way.
                          
"IS THAT WHY MOM SAID I WAS A MISTAKE? IS THAT WHY SHE MADE ME MOVE OUT?!" As soon as she spoke those words, she cupped her hand over her mouth.
                          
"Mom MADE you move out?! You told me you decided to move out!!! Pren, why didn't you tell me?" I asked. This hurt, a lot. We all knew Ben was moms baby. Her favorite, but she was so disappointed in Pren for making dad move that she MADE my little sister move out?
                          
That, I didn't know.
                          
I stood up and caught her shoulders, steadying her staggering body. "Pren. Pren, please listen to me. I'm sorry." I felt so bad.
                          
"About what?! Josh, you didn't do anything! It was me. So, no, josh. IM sorry. I'm sorry I made dad ditch us. NO. Not even us. You and Ben." She rattled.
                          
"Prenitha Jasons, please stop it. Please, I'll talk to Ben. I'll talk to mo-" I began.
                          
"NO! I don't want to ever, ever see or talk to her again. Whatever happened to see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil?" She looked at me. "Please?"
                          
"Fine. I won't talk to mom but we've GOT to get together with Ben. We haven't seen momma's boy in forever." I stated.
                          
Huffing, she agreed. "Fine." 
                          
"Now go to bed, goof. Love you." I told her.
                          
She climbed into bed covering herself back up. "Love you to." 
                          
I kissed her forehead and then went to my room to sleep.
                          
Pren's POV:

I got dressed in the morning- a black/grey flow-y tank and a pair of patterned shorts. I slipped on my TOMS and hopped down the stairs.
                          
When I was all the way down, I could hear slight whispers coming from the kitchen. I stopped abruptly and quieted my breathing so I could hear.
                          
"C'mon! I miss dad too." Josh hissed.
                          
There was a pause. He must've been on the phone waiting for a reply.
                          
"I know- no she didn't!" He almost yelled.
                          
Pause.
                          
"Well I'm sure she misses you." He reasoned. 
                          
I knew one thing. If that was mom, He got it all wrong. I don't ever want to see her again.
                          
"Please?" He begged.
                          
"Fine, it'll just be me. Pren won't be there." He finished and I heard the phone slam down on the table. 
                          
I waited a about two minutes before skipping into the kitchen with him.
