I can’t understand

Well, this whole deal with my sister has got me a bit confused. I just can’t understand it. I guess I should start from the beginning.
My sister has always been a rebellious child I guess you could say. From day one she’s had an attitude. It’s gotten worse over the years and now that she’s 16 (almost) it’s out of hand. She’s been living with my dad and he’s basically been letting her do whatever she wants..whenever she wants. She’s all but been on her own..the only difference is when she doesn’t have a place to stay she’s been able to stay at my grandmas..when she’s needed money my dad forks it out…when she needs something to drive she drives his pickup. He’s been working on getting my old car going for her. Well, she finally got a job up in St Anthony, like not too far from me. Well yesterday was her third day and she stopped into see me before she went to work. Well it was like 20 minutes before she had to be to work and she had her boyfriend with her. It made no sense to me because what was he going to do the 5 hours or whatever she was at work. I knew what was going on..she was going to let him take the pickup while she was at work. What’s the problem with this? Well, for one…he’s literally wrecked anything he’s ever drove. Since he’s been dating my sister there’s been two…and many more before that. Because of all these wrecks and on top of all the tickets he has he’s no longer got his lisence. Even if he had his lisence it wouldn’t matter, if he were to wreck my dad could be sued for all he’s worth.
After they left I struggled with wether I should call my dad or not. I called and told my mom and asked what she thought. She thought my dad should know. I told her that I didn’t want to call him…and I didn’t want to say anything because it would cause problems between me and my sister, but I would feel like crap if he wrecked the pickup and I knew all a long. My mom said she would call and talk to my dad and let him know to try and keep me out of it. Well, my dad called me and he was pissed..not at me, but at my sister. I told him that I didn’t know exactly what was going on and that there was enough time that she could have dropped him off somewhere. I told him that I had plans to go to lunch over there and that I’d check for sure and let him know. It bugged the crap out of me all morning because I knew I was going to go over there and it wasn’t going to be there. I went over there and what do you know…it’s not there. I didn’t get a chance to talk to my sister, she seen me, but they are really strict there so I didn’t know if I should talk to her or not…she was in the back and seen me and didn’t come up so I’m guessing she would have got in trouble. Anyways, I went back to work and didn’t dare call my dad so I called my mom. She called my dad and I guess he lost it…he blew up! I guess he ended up calling my sister and asking her where his pickup was because I had just been there and hadn’t seen it and he made up some story about how I was just curious if she was going to need a ride home or not. She flat out lied to him and told him that it was there. I had checked all around that place! So my mom calls me and tells me to go look again….so I did…then same story..called my mom and she talked me into going back again…and actually going inside and talking to my sister and letting her know that my dad was pissed and he was even considering calling in and reporting the pickup stolen. As I was going there…her boyfriend came around the corner…in my dads pickup. So I dind’t even go in…I just went back and called my mom. Of course she called my dad and he flipped. My dad doesn’t usually get mad, but when he does…oh boy. Anyways, then I worried about him because he’s out there on the road all pissed off. My mom was stressing because of how pissed my dad was..and I was worried about her because she doesn’t need to be stressing. Blah..I was worried that my sister was going to be royally pissed off at me.
I never heard much about it til later and I guess my dad kicked my sister out. I flipped because it was like all my fault. I mean I’m the one who opened my big mouth and now my sister was going to have to quit the job she just started because of me! It was horrible.
When my mom told me about it I got thinking. I was wondering if anything would be different if she moved in here with me and Matt. I mean I would lay down the rules and if they weren’t followed she’d have to leave. She’d have to have a job and what not and we’d charge her rent. Probably only like $50 a month, but then she’d realize that things don’t come free.
This is only half the story..I’ll continue in the next entry!
