82. Back to Square 1

...Maverick POV...

While I know Sienna going away was my idea in the first place, it didn't change the turmoil I was putting myself through. I was stressed that something would happen to her, and we wouldn't get to her on time.

I knew I shouldn't underestimate her, as she was a fighter. She's proven time and time again that she can take care of herself. But that doesn't change the way I feel. She's my baby sister. I will always be protective of her. It's my job as her older brother to be the overprotective and overbearing brother.

I knew getting out of the States would be very cathartic for her. It was what she needed. She's been living in the shadow of Rylee's death for too long. She can't keep living like this. Can't keep blaming herself for what happened. While none of us fully know what happened, I can easily say that Sienna was not to blame. She did everything she could. We had tried to get her to talk to us about what had happened that night, but Sienna would remain closed-lip
