Family revelations part 1

I was on my way to my younger half-sister’s apartment. She had called in tears, explaining how her boyfriend had left her, and that he had taken all their money and ran. He had apparently not paid the rent on their apartment for a couple months, and her and my niece were getting kicked out. She was going to go stay with her mother’s parents until she could find a place, but she needed help moving some of the furniture out of the apartment and into storage. Her 2 year old daughter was with my sister’s grandparents while we finished moving.

I pulled up to the apartment, and was thankful that it was a ground floor apartment. She came out and gave me a big hug and thanked me for helping. Everyone else was either busy, or not willing to come help her. I hadn’t really seen her much over the last few years, as there had been a falling out with my father and step-mother. At twenty years old, she had become and amazingly beautiful young lady. It didn’t help that she was wearing a pair of very short shorts and a tight fitting tank top.

I had backed my truck up as close as I could get it, and she took me into the apartment to show me what she needed help moving. We quickly got to work and started filling the truck. It didn’t take us long to get a full load in the truck, and we hopped in and she directed me to her grandparents house, where all the furniture was going to be stored in their garage for the time being. We said our hellos to everyone, and unloaded the first truckload. We headed back to the apartment to get some more. We filled the truck up one more time, and made another trip to the garage. After getting back the second time, there were only a few things left, and I knew it would all fit in one load. We decided to take a break and have something to eat and drink a couple of beers.

We sat on the bed and ate, and talked, catching up on the last couple of years. She started to get upset again, and was crying as she told me the story about how her boyfriend, Mark, had left her.
