the date was june 21, 1988, school was finally out and summer break finally began, jack was relieved, finally, school was over, fucking finally.

jack walked down the halls, avoiding eye contact with everyone, he just wanted to get out of there and go home.

jack continued walking, until he bumped into a girl.

Girl: watch it, druggie!

the girl spoke in an angry tone and walked off, jack scoffed and glared at her.

Jack: mumbles fucking annoying…

jack mumbled, already starting to become irritated, he walked out of the school and dumped all of his stuff out of his backpack into a trash can.

until he heard a voice, a voice he recognized.

Sarah: hey jack! over here!

sarah, jack’s older sister, she was 21 and worked at a hospital near town as a nurse.

Sarah: mom wasn’t feeling well so i offered to pick you up.

jack glanced at his sister before walking towards her and getting into the back seat of the car, Sarah got into the drivers seat and closed the door before driving off.

Sarah: so, you excited that school is over?

Jack: yeah, i am, that fucking place gave me hell.

sarah glanced at her brother before focusing back on the road.

Sarah: cmon jack, what’s got you so irritated now?

Jack: nothing, just drive, i wanna go home.

jack sounded desperate and sarah heard it so she didn’t say anything.

the car ride was silent, pretty awkward, yeah?

a few hours later, they finally came back home, jack quickly got out of the car and went into his house, sarah grabbed her purse and followed him back inside.

Sarah: jack, are you okay?

Jack: i’m fine, where’s mom?

sarah placed her purse down and took off her shoes.

Sarah: she’s in bed, i told you, she’s not feeling well.

jack scoffed and took off his shoes as well before going into his room and closing the door.

just a few hours later, sarah got dressed into her nurse uniform and put on her shoes before going into jack’s room.

Sarah: hey jack?

jack, who was laying in his bed glanced at his sister.

Jack: what?

Sarah: i’m gonna be working late, are you gonna be okay at home with mom?

Jack: yeah, i’ll be fine.

Sarah: ok, bye, love you.

sarah glanced at her brother before closing the door.
