The Price Of Saving My Brother

Synopsis

My mom always said I was my younger brother, Jamie Walker's second mom. Ever since I was four, whenever Jamie messed up, I had to take the blame. When he dirtied the floor, I scrubbed it clean. When he stole something, I wrote the apology letter. The year I was seven, he accidentally hurt the son of Henry Stone, the local shopkeeper. When Henry came to our door, Jamie pointed straight at me and said, "Lily did it." Without even blinking, my mom shoved me at Henry. "I didn't raise my kids right. It's my fault," she said. "Hit her or yell at her, whatever you want." Little did she know, after Henry took me away, I never came back.
