The other side of the medal

I have a wonderful piece of news, not about me but about my sister: she broke up today with her boyfriend! Wonderful! I was counting the days since she last told me about him and his behaviour. She called me in the middle of the afternoon, in tears, and my heart sank at first, and I became really anxious, she couldn't even speak and I was really scared, I didn't know what was happening and when it's about my sister I get really nervous. Finally, after a few minutes, she could pronounce some sounds, and I heard "sv... sv...sven..." so I immediatly knew what had happened and I was so relieved, because I knew that it was something good and she was "only" sad about it. So she came here, and we virtually spit on him, I began to say all the things I think on him, and began to try to endoctrinate her so she won't pardon him and take him back, because it's always the same with her. I hope (it's terrible to say that...) that she was hurt enough to understand what a bastard he was.

On another side, I'm really anxious, because she's devastated, plus she has problems at work, and she's really down this time, this is just the icing on the cake. Every bad things come down on her at the same moment, and she can't deal with it, she's very sensitive and all these things are too much for her. I'm really sad, and scared for her, but I know that I can't do nothing but stay around when she needs me. She is staying at my place tonight, and she's sleeping now, she's was so tired. I wish she could speak with her friends, but all her best friends are in other cities, no one is living close to us, it's really a bad situation for her. And I'm in a really awkward situation because these two next weeks I have not a minute, I work from 5 am to noon, to save some money, and then I have an hour to eat, another to have a small nap, and then I have to study for my exams until I get to bed. I think that my sister will stay here for a few days, so that will take me a lot of time, to care about her... I wish it were 34 hours a day!

Aw Charlie, you sound like such a sweet guy. What sister could ask for a better brother? Don't worry about feeling like that, obviously it's going to take her being very hurt to dump Sven. It's just the way it has to be, unfortunately. Just be there to give her hugs and to talk to her as you are able; it is the best medicine.
