24-I Will Work For My Stepbrother

Helanie:

"It is easy for you to make up rules for others. You don't need to go out and find work or think about where you would be sleeping for the night. I am scared and alone, and I am trying to do my best to still find a way to make my life worth living. So, no! I won't allow you to judge me or tell me that I am disqualified," I hissed, a large tear finally breaking from the corner of my eye.

The frown on his forehead unfolded, and he finally stepped back from me.

"You don't have a place to crash at?" he asked as if I hadn't told the brothers that I wouldn't be going back home.

"I left my pack forever," I muttered, not hesitating in my responses.

"But why?" His tone softened a lot, but that didn't mean he would be humble with me.
