Been in care all his life? No, Reese didn't know that. No, nobody hasn't even attempted to tell her anything about that. Do people just think it's easier to keep Reese out of everything? Truthfully, it probably was, but she liked to be informed about stuff. "Do you two get along?" She questioned. The answer was probably 'yes', but she needed to make sure. "Attention? Don't we..." She paused there. Thinking about it, Jake didn't get much attention back at the house: Heath usually was worrying about his car, her mom was always cooking or on the phone, and Ryan usually spent time with Dale. Reese usually was out and about shopping or hanging out with friends, so she normally wasn't around the house during the day.

Great. Just great.

"Jake, if they said you need attention, I can't disagree with you having to move out. You barely got any attention at the house," she said. She should have spent more time with her brother - she really should have. "Maybe after I get back from Greece, you and me can go out for a day? Just you and me," she suggested. "We need some sisterly and brotherly time, don't you think?"

Not like Jake could talk. But Reese wasn't Jake. She was Jake's sister. And that meant Jake would have to talk to Jack about this.

The boy watched as Reese seemed to consider things, and he tilted his own head. For some reason, he wanted Reese to understand that this was what was best for everyone. Yeah, he probably wouldn't get to see Dale again... not that much if at all... but... the attention. "We dddddo get along," he nodded, eyes begging Reese to understand that.

He nodded when his sister spoke, not really commenting... not wanting to point the finger at anyone or badmouth anyone at all.

"We ssshhhould do that," he answered quietly, and added silently. As long as I'm not, like, grounded or anything.

Well, he HAD got up to mischief that year.

Sighing, she looked around the area and that's when it hit her where they were exactly standing at. As much room that there was in this place, she was standing in the place Helios was. Why hadn't she known this earlier? Eh, she was slow.

She tried her best to not let her facial expression show how much it effected her as to where they were standing right now. "That's good," she simply replied back to her brother, and then she looked back at him. "Jake, I'm going to let you know this. I'm not mad about you living with a foster mom. I can never be mad about something like that. Upset, yes, but never mad. And, I want you to do what you think is best, and if you think living with a foster parent, then I'll support that decision." She paused, and then quickly added, "I do love you, Jake. You'll always be my little brother, even though we do fight at times." A little smile formed on her face as she thought back to times were her and Jakers didn't get along AT ALL.

"We will," she stated. "I promise."

Nodding silently, Jake kicked at the floor, causing miniature puffs of dust to float up briefly into the air. "It's ttthhe ruh-right thhhing fuh-fer me," he nodded looking up again, feeling bad about making Reese upset to any degree.

But he was definitely holding her to that promise.

But for now... "Whhhh-whhy are yyyyou going to Guhh-greece?"

Innocent enough question...

"Okay, then. That settles it, doesn't it? If you think it's the right thing, I'm going to support your decision," she stated. As much as she would like to see Jake at the house, she was going through with what just came out of her mouth. She was going to support his decision, because that's what sisters do, right? They support their brothers with decision making...right?

She shrugged. "Torin asked me? I mean...yeah, Torin asked me. I thought it would be fun to go visit a place I've never seen before," she answered. "I'm planning on going sight seeing, shopping with Tammy, and I'm planning to hang out at the beach with all my friends." She was actually planning on spending most of her time at the beach, but was it like she really needed that sun? She was already tan as it was.
