"I can't just leave her there alone!" Hayner cried. What kind of older brother would do that? He needed to be home to take care of her, and be with her. "Fuck finals." Like he'd even be able to concentrate on finals. Would he even be able to come back to school for next quarter? Someone had to be home with Rachel. They had a pair of grandparents a few states away... they'd probably go there, but Hayner couldn't just go to school and not be around to make sure Rachel was okay.
Really, Sora was bad, but Hayner still through he had it worse.
"Fuck," he said again, and plopped down onto the floor, bringing his knees up to his chest. "I really need a ride home, tonight."
