That night, when everyone was about to get to sleep, I went out in the backyard. I stood there, behind the tree, and cried. This day had been shit. I felt so horrible.
Suddenly I heard footsteps.
"Saphi?"
It was Skype.
I dried my eyes.
"What are you doing here, sis?" he asked. His voice sounded sad.
"N-nothing..." I said, hoping that my voice wouldn't crack.
"You know," he said. "It wasn't really nice of you. To do that. You can't just yell at someone because you're not happy about who they're dating. I'm not saying this just to piss you off."
I turned around to face him.
"I know..." I said. My eyes felt swollen.
"I'm so sorry..." I continued. "I don't like the fact of losing my brother. It's always been just our family. And Sierra. It feels weird..."
He smiled. "But hey, just because we're moving on, doesn't mean that we're going to forget about you! You're still my favourite sis!"
"Aww," I said. "And you're my favourite big brother! Don't tell Theodor that."
Skype laughed. "No of course I won't!" Then he gave me a hug.

The next day we went to the park. Or the schoolyard, in other words.
We had a really great time. I and Skype had water balloon wars.
Theodor and Jake played on the swings.
While Rosette was playing in the sandbox.
I was so happy to have my big brother back.
