He'd done what was good for him, which, in this case, had been living with his mother. Not only did he know life with his dad would be miserable, but he couldn't leave his mother alone like that. He just couldn't.

"Whether you like to admit it or not, I'm his SON. I'm your BROTHER. Just because I'm not like the rest of the family doesn't mean I'm not a part of it," he said quietly. Oh Merlin, he was going to cry now. He'd already been breaking up earlier, but now he could feel his eyes tearing up and his vision became blurred. "Is it too much to ask for an update every once in a while?" he added. Seriously, why hadn't he known until NOW if this had supposedly happened all summer? Sure, he was shocked--he probably WOULD be shocked for a while--but that didn't mean he didn't deserve to KNOW.

"Good, I hate you too," he mumbled. Like that was anything new. He'd been telling Sierra he hated her for years. Only this time, he was genuinely ANGRY at her. He blinked his eyes rapidly to try and push back the tears, reminding himself he could cry later when he got back to his dorm and no one was around. Crying now would just be embarrassing.

"You said it, not me," she snapped, spinning back around, doing her best to look like she hadn't been crying. She stared him down, taking a few moments to draw in several deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down. Choking on a sob, she started coughing a little, giving her a few minutes of distraction while she tried to shove the harsh words out of her mind and away from her tongue.

For a reason she was sure she'd never quite know, she covered her ears when he tried to remind her that he was still their father's son and still her own brother. Over the summer, she'd allowed herself to just forget that there were others she'd left behind. It had been easier for her to adjust that way, but now Alex was causing all of that to come back to her. "Yes," she answered, "it is too much to ask. We're none of your business." Even as she said the words, though, she knew she was wrong. Choking back another sob, she quietly added, "Fine."

"I have to go," she announced.
