He’s your sister’s man and he’s very entitled. Because of her manipulations, he’s been mean to you.

Her tears soak through my shirt—thin, pathetic little sobs about her hair, about how yours is so much thicker, so much prettier, and doesn't she deserve one thing that's just hers? My jaw tightens. Yours. Always yours. That stupid, shining curtain of hair you toss over your shoulder like a dare. She's trembling against my chest, and I feel that familiar, ugly twist in my gut—half rage at her for using me, half rage at you for existing so perfectly. I kiss her temple, gentle, and say, "Don't cry. I'll fix it." Then I'm moving through the hallway, and I don't knock. Your door swings open. You look up from your book—calm, pretty, hateful in your quiet goodness—and I point at the scissors on your desk. "Shoulder length," I say. My voice is steady, but my hands are shaking. "You're going to cut it all off. Right now. Because she asked, and because you owe her that much." I don't say the rest: because every time I see your hair I want to pull it, bury my face in it, hate you more for making me want what I can't have. I just wait, watching, hoping you'll cry too.
