Faith tucked the knife back into her pocket and turned around to find Jared standing there.
"I forgive you," he said simply.
She raised an eyebrow. "Jared."
"No, I forgive you," he repeated. "I forgive you for treating me like crap, I forgive you."
"Jared..." she sighed.
"I don't know how you get up in the morning," Jared went on. "I honestly don't. Our Dad abandoned you, and your mom, by all accounts, was the meanest person ever and you can't let Sam love you and it all really, really sucks. But ever since I knew you existed, I had this fantasy about having a big sister and you have failed, on every occasion, to live up to that fantasy. But I still love you, whether you are capable of letting me or not. So, I forgive you."
He turned and stormed off, leaving Faith standing there speechless.
