Redhawk Caldera Hooooo, giiiirl

It was all true, wasn't it? It was supposed to make her feel better, getting it all out there, blasting Meerkat like that, so why did she feel even more wretched watching the tears sliding down her sister's cheek? Her stomach coiled itself into a vicious knot. But, as with her argument with her parents, Alyx focused only on the bad way it made her feel, ignoring what Meerkat was feeling, and didn't think to apologize.

Just go away, she muttered, turning her head and doing her best to not look at her sister. She didn't like how Meerkat's misery didn't make her feel better about her own. She didn't like the wicked little voice telling her that this was yet another ploy for attention on Meerkat's part. She didn't like any of it, and would prefer not to have to face it for even one second more.
