This all starts with Amtrak. Sorry excuse of a company. The delays, the incompetence, the uncomfortable seats. The uncaring staff. All of it, horrible.
Sometimes you need something a little horrible to find what you have that is good.
Pulling his bags into a cab, Scott recalls he was told that once. He can't recall who it was but they had to be wrong. There was no upside to this mess.
See, this trip was a bad idea from the start. Go see your sister for a couple weeks, he internally recites in a mocking tone imitating his mom. You're 18, you can take care of yourself, it'll be a good warm up for when you head to college in the fall.
Right, they get to lounge at a resort in the Caribbean while he has to bribe a driver an extra twenty bucks to drive him from the station to his sister's campus because the train got delayed, then broke down and didn't get in until 2am. If this was any indication of what college will be like he may have to reconsider enrolling. Why couldn't his parents have waited until he was gone instead of ruining his summer vacation to do a home renovation? He should've taken the last-minute plane ticket his dad offered to buy. But no, he had to be stubborn. The train fare's already bought, it'll be a new experience, and it's only like an extra hour after you factor in the wait times at the airports. Now he's mocking himself.
By the time he gets to the door it's nearly three in the morning. Oh yeah, he has no way into her apartment. Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Scott sighs at the thought of kicking off the visit by waking his sister up in the middle of the night.
"Oh come on, she doesn't hate you." That's what his mom said to his initial protest of this idea.
Well if she doesn't now, she's going to soon. Scott vaguely recalls there was a time they got along. Years ago, when they were kids. She was an athlete, the type who wouldn't shy away from joining in with the roughhousing he and his friends took part in. They'd fight legitimately too, sure, same as anyone. He kind of wished he could at least get that back, if nothing else. Once she hit high school she found a boyfriend and was immediately lost to him. No hanging out, no roughhousing, no anything. She was gone all the time. Either with that guy, or busy with her three S's - softball, soccer and science.
He remembers the advice his mom gave back then. Give her time, you'll see her more once the excitement of first love blows over. That was right, in a way. Aimee dated that guy for around a year. Then one day he was just gone. Scott saw his sister more around the house. But she never came back, not really. There was this new divide, it was like she's a grown-up now and he was still a kid. No time for the childish antics of a middle schooler when you've got important high school affairs to deal with. That three-year gap separating them went from the thing keeping her taller than him to the thing making her grow curves right as his mind began to recognize what they were for. Maybe it was only natural they'd drift apart for those years.
Still, it didn't seem right. Three years. That same space in between their births now spanned the amount of time since they had last seen each other. And their first meeting will require wrecking her sleep schedule. Awesome.
At least, that's what he thought. Just as he taps the green button to dial, the door in front of him swings open, nearly knocking the phone out of his hand. Out pours a busty blonde dressed in, well, not much. She looks like the type Scott would've expected to find at one of the Greek houses he had seen on the way in.
"Think you've got the wrong room, kid." She belches his way while stumbling around his luggage.
"You must be Aimee's little brother." Another voice, softer, comes from inside. A grip, not as soft, goes around his wrist and pulls.
His body flies in, tossed like the wind, as she steps past him, "You can walk home no problem, yeah? K good." She sets the stranger on her way.
"Hey, name's Juleena. I'm the roommate." Yanking his bags in over the entrance, the girl greets him. Scott's not sure how to react. He eventually did hit a rather significant growth spurt of his own in high school and shoot past his sister but the rest of his body hadn't filled out. He's a fairly thin 5'11 and while at some level is glad to lose the burden of carrying around all that crap, he's also mortified this very pretty and apparently quite strong young woman has lifted it from him. He catches a view of her backside while watching her lug his stuff into the living room. Nice ass, he assesses, when she bends over to grab something upon setting them down. "Beer?" She offers, turning around with an open bottle.
"Shame." She responds to his rejection before chugging down the rest herself. "So what was your name again?"
