r a i n Leaving California is both a blessing and a curse . A blessing because that means I won't have to see James nor my mother again , for a long , long time , which includes everyone such as Julie . A curse because I have to leave my sister behind , I have to leave her with these people , even though they don't seem to be threat , it still leaves an aching feeling in my heart to know she has to stay here . From where I'm standing , in front of the car , ready to get in and drive off , I look at Evie , trying her hardest not to cry . It's five in the morning , the sun barely risen and the cold still erupting goosebumps on my skin . Right now, this is a f*****g curse . "Let's go , Rainy ." My brother says softly , and I get the feeling his tone is to not shatter me or something . Evi
