It definitely took some will power to deny all the preaching their parents were so good at selling. Ray had ignored it all his years there but he managed to stay out of the house a hell of a lot more then her. Problem with being the only chic, parents were even more protective. Ray had been written off pretty quickly, the bad child both wished they never had. Her though? Little princess was going to be made to do right. He'd always felt bad for her, always got her out whenever he could, and yeah he'd felt bad when he took off and left her there.
But he'd given her chance to go with, just hadn't been her time. She hadn't reached that breaking point quite like Ray fucking had. He had reached that point that another day, another hour even, he probably would have ended up killing one of those bastards. Not a good place to be in. Better for him to get the fuck out of dodge. better for all of them probably, she probably hadn't had near as much shit brought down on her now that Ray wasn't around to be such a band influence.
Fuck that.
Ray shoved his hands in his pockets, fingers fumbling with the pipe in one to give his hands something to do. Yeah alright so he was sort of fucking off his game and all that. not everyday you get a blast from the damned past showing up. He knew eventually he'd look her up, make sure she was alright and all but yeah..he hadn't expected much more then that anymore. Too much time and all that shit.
Now...yeah...sort of different.
Course then she started talking and Ray was pissed "That lemming loving cunt hit you?" he didn’t even blink and eye to the bullshit they did to him but smacking his kid sister? Yeah he didn’t give a fuck who did it, it wasn't cool. "Bitch needs to take a damned look in the mirror before trying that shit." a vague growl to the words, if he hadn't hated her before, he sure as fuck would now. What the fuck was wrong with those two? Shit more like those three. Whatever.
Ray shook his head, rolling the neck a bit to try to get out some of that tension. "Bitch deserved it, so where did you go then?" meaning I hope to fuck you didn't do the same shit I ended up doing. He wasn't ashamed, far fucking from it. He just didn’t want to think of his sister on the streets.
