She lands a solid smack against my cheek and my head bonks against the wall. “I fucking hate you, do you hear me?”She whirls around and goes back into her room, then slams the door. Muffled voices reach me as I brace my hands on my knees and try to figure out what just happened. Before I get the chance, Katie storms out of her room, tugging the guy by the hand. He’s now wearing jeans and a t-shirt bearing the logo of one of Katie’s favorite bands. He’s got thick, reddish hair and a freckled face and I don’t know how I could have ever mistaken him for my mom’s balding, paunchy loser husband. I’ve never met this guy before. I have no idea who he is, and my sister’s about to leave with him.I straighten up as Katie lifts a stuffed overnight bag onto her shoulder, sleeves and pantlegs hanging over the sides. “Katie, no, no, I’m sorry. Wait.”She ignores me.“Katie, please,” I call after her. “I’m sorry.” I grab her fuck-buddy’s shoulder. “Hey, man. I’m sorry. You guys don’t have to leave.” I’d like nothing better than to throw this asshole out of my home, but now that my common sense is returning—Katie’s an adult. She can have guests. She’s got every right to be mad. But if she leaves, I can’t keep her safe.The guy wrenches himself away from me as Katie swings around and gets between us. “Touch Evan again and I’ll call the police,” she hisses, then barrels into the bathroom and comes out shoving her hairdryer and toothbrush into her bag.Shit. “Katie, please, let’s talk about this. I think it’s better if you stay here, and we could—”“Are you kidding? It was a mistake to even try to live with you.” Her voice trembles and squeaks. Her round cheeks are bright red. “A huge mistake. Come on, Evan.”Seeing that she’s not even slowing down, I jog to the kitchen and grab her pill organizer, then sprint to the door, making it just before they reach it. “Take this with you if you’ve got to go. There could be side effects if you —”She hits my hand, hard, and the dispenser flies across the room and collides with one of the cabinets. A few of the compartments pop open and pills scatter across the kitchen floor. I clench my jaw and brace my hands against the doorframe. “Evan, listen to me, man, she’s got some medical needs.” I’m trying to look him in the eye, but he won’t cooperate. “She needs—”“How dare you,” Katie growls, a tear slipping from her eye. She grabs her keys from the table. “How dare you humiliate me like this.”“I didn’t mean to! Katie, take a breath. Give me a chance to—”This time, she’s got a fistful of keys when she hits me. My head jerks to the side, and I taste blood. When I put my hand to my cheek, she shoves by me, and so does Evan.I follow them down the hall, but Katie looks over her shoulder at me. “You know you don’t have any right to stop me,” she says quietly, her voice trembling with rage. “So don’t even try. Evan could press assault charges. If you don’t leave me alone, that’s what we’ll do.”“I’m sorry,” I say, my hands up, helpless. “Please don’t go.”The corner of her mouth twitches. Her eyes gloss over with tears. “Too little, too late.”She takes Evan by the hand and disappears into the stairwell.
