Don't like this situation

The mere idea that Nina could be this cruel put Penny in a tight spot. Not because this scared her, but because she was worried about some people. Those people were none other than her parents. Her brother might not believe her and simply tell her she was jealous of Nina, but this would hurt Allison and Charles. 

Whether they believe Penny or give her the benefit of the doubt, it would hurt them either way. One reason was that they might think they were not giving Penny enough attention that she had to resort to accusing Nina. On the other hand, if she had proven that Nina did such a terrible thing, they would blame themselves for not raising them right. 

Penny balled her hands into tight fists as this weighed in her heart. 

"What a dilemma," she whispered. "I can just throw this evidence away and act as if nothing happened."
