Lucy

And she was like, it's really important. I need you to tell Jennifer that it's not her fault. And I was really confused by this. And also my immediate response was not only did I not want to stop what I was doing, but I also did not want to bother my older sister. Again, Jennifer is 13 years older than me. So she's like 17. She doesn't want her little sister going and bothering her.

And so I was like, no, I'm good. And she goes, no. Lucy, this is really important. She was really, really insistent. And I don't remember her ever being that insistent about something before. So I relented pretty quickly because again, she was my best friend. So I was like, okay, okay. So yeah, I put down my bike, which I'm sure still had training wheels on it.

So I don't even know that I put it down or that I got off my bike. And I walk inside the garage, through the garage door, and my sister, Jennifer, lived in the room above the garage. So I go to go towards her and then she's actually sitting at the top of the steps. I can still see her and she's tying up her tennis shoes. Yeah.

So Lauren is, you know, right there being like, still telling me like, it's really important. And I'm like, okay, okay. I'm doing it. And so I see Jennifer at the top of the stairs and I said, Jennifer. And of course she doesn't even look up because I'm her little sister. So I say her name again. And she, without even looking up, she goes, what Lucy?

And I go, Lauren told me to tell you it's not your fault. And her head whipped up. She was like, who, what did you just say? And I said, Lauren told me to tell you it's not your fault. And I remember she looked at me like she was trying to understand. Like she kind of like cocked her head for a second. Like she couldn't believe it. Like her face was extremely shocked.

And I was just like, I don't know. I'm just the messenger. I don't know what I'm saying. I don't know what it means. I just know that I have to say this. As soon as I said it to Jennifer the second time, I remember looking to Lauren and being like, there, I did it. Are you happy? Because I didn't understand what I was saying. I just knew I was doing a favor that had interrupted our playtime.

But as soon as I finished saying it the second time, when I said, Lauren told me to tell you it's not your fault, Jennifer burst into tears. It was probably the hardest I had ever seen her cry. And my mom, who must have been listening in from the kitchen, which is just the other side of that wall, my mom comes and wrenches my arm. And she says, who told you to say that? And I said, Lauren.
