Elsie runs a lot. She gets up at the crack of dawn and goes out for hours. She thinks I don't know, but I feel her get up, I don't know what to do to help, so I make her breakfast and then wait for her to come back."Morning." She grins when she comes back in, which is why I don't fight it. She always looks so much happier after she's been running."Morning, your breakfast await my dear." I bow and stretch my arms wide, gesturing to the table which I've laid for the two of us.The whore is refusing to be in the same room as us in the hope it'll make Elsie feel guilty enough to end it with me, which I think is why she's running as much as she is. She's also forgetting to eat, which is another reason I'm making her breakfast every day."Apple or orange?" She asks, peering

Laura and I grabbed a drink and some chips in the cafeteria, then took it in turns to go to the window overlooking the car park and check whether the Whore's car was still there. It was dark before Laura came back, telling me the spot was empty and we made our way back down to Elsie's room. The nurse glances our way, opened her mouth but then shut it again, glancing around the room and then gesturing at us to carry on. The relief I felt upon seeing her awake and sitting up in her bed, quickly vanished when the brief look of elation she always has when seeing me, disappeared into a mask of sadness. "Els, what's going on? What've they said? You're ok aren't you?" I must have flown to her side, because I'm holding her hand trying to lace my fingers with hers but she's p

"Dad, Carly, I'm just popping out to Luke's for a bit, do you need anything?" I ask as I pass the doorway. It's killing me to be nice to the whore, but I've been thinking about what Elsie said yesterday.She thought we were hurting too many people and it wasn't worth it, that still feels like a dagger in my heart, but I'll have to show her she's wrong. And, since my dad seems ok with us now, that just leaves her mum, so if I have to behave differently, be respectful or whatever to the whore, to get her to accept us being together and leave Elsie alone, then I will."No, thanks, Bill lad, you have fun. Oh, how are you feeling?" My dad twists in his seat and gives me a warm smile. Ever since I had my little breakdown with him yesterday, he's actually been acting like a caring father, checking on me, asking about how I am and actually sounding like he's interested

It's Friday and I'm fucking bricking it waiting for the email to come through.  All week I've been cracking jokes, pretending I'm not worried and refusing to think about what it would mean if the test comes back and says Elsie's my sister, because that's some seriously messed up shit that would never be fixed, especially when I can't stop myself being attracted to her. I've tried ever since she told me, but it's impossible. We've spent all week together, but apart from the kiss on Monday, we've not touched, both of us mentally preparing for the result to be bad. My dad and the whore seem oblivious to our struggles, content in their loved up bubble. Well, that's going to come crashing down regardless of the results, because it means either my dad's with someone who didn't tell him she had his daughter eightee

We made the most of the weekend, but as much as I wanted to, we couldn't avoid coming back to reality and this particular reality involves confronting the whore about her disgusting lies.Elsie and I talked about how to do it all the way home and I'm still not sure exactly what's going to happen. We've printed off the results, both for her and my dad and me, and, as if they don't realise we've gotten home yet, the whore is putting on her usual bedroom performance with my dad in the next room. The first thing I notice when we get downstairs is the giant diamond ring on her finger, it's so large that it sends reflections all around her from the lights, my mum would have said it's too gaudy, as if she's trying to flaunt her wealth, so I know the whore must have chosen it, even before she thrusts it into Elsie's face and tells her my dad told her to p
