Burned Quotes

“You love her, Jack?” I looked at my brother. I wanted to deny it. I didn’t want him to know how vulnerable I felt. How raw and ripped open. I opened my mouth to tell him no, to lie to him the way I’d tried to lie to Ma, but I couldn’t say the word. “Yes. I love her. I want her,” I said, slidin’ down the wall to the floor. I held my head in my hands and he sat next to me. “Alright then. No deranged jumped-up psychopathic motherfucker is gonna hurt my sister ever again.”
