Sometimes. I don't hate you, cheerleader. I never did. I just resented the fact that you always had everything that I wanted. A perfect dumb family and an annoying dog. And friends.
And sometimes maybe I still resent you because I don't want to like you.
We weren't ever perfect, especially not after my ability manifested. And I didn't have that many friends. I like the ones that I have no a lot better than any of the ones I had back then.
... I'm going to take that as a compliment, because sometimes I feel like I shouldn't like you, either.
Even if it wasn't perfect, it was a lot better than what I had. And didn't have. But whatever. The past is the past, right? And we're on the same page now, at least.
Because I think it'll make me a better person. You're like me, Molly. Before everything bad happened. I can make sure nothing else bad ever happens to you.
...I love you a whole lot, Elle. And I'm afraid of losing you because it seems like that's all that ever happens but--but you're my home, now. I feel safe with you.

And I thought that if you thought they weren't your parents you'd have no reason to stay good enough not to kill me. Or leave me.
So there you go, okay? That's the truth.

I know it's not the super serious kind of questions most people are giving and getting on this, but I figured you could use a break.
