Wild Bastard by Ella Savitskaya (most popular ebook readers .txt) 📗

I stop near the granite monument. Lana gets behind me and huddles tighter, as if she's afraid. And I feel like I've been tasered under the shoulder blades. Sister despite the fact that I used to intimidate her, looks for protection from me.

 I roll my eyes up to the clear sky. It's time she knew the truth.

"Remember how Evelyn died?"

"Well, yes. She had an accident" She answers quietly, as if she's afraid that if she raises her voice, somebody might hear her.

"No, Lana. There was no accident."

"What do you mean?"

"She died because of our father and the drugs."

The nervous breathing behind her stops.

"How's that?"

"It's time you took off the rose-colored glasses."

The story will not be easy. Most likely, after today, she will look at the world differently. Or maybe not. I don't know if I'll make it any better by pouring all the shitty truth about our family on her, but Reenah's right. Lana needs to grow up and realize that not everything in life is rosy and plays with colors. She needs to look for good things, just as she needs to be prepared for the possibility that fate might punch her in the face and turn her inside out. And perhaps if she is aware of what happened, she will be more careful to make new acquaintances and not look for adventures.

And I... I don't know if something will change in me, but I'm really tired of driving at maximum speed alone.
