Try to get Jessica out of her room
From Create Your Own Story
The only other person still in the house at the moment is Jessica and last you checked, she's still holed up in room. Maybe you can finally get her out.
No sooner do you take a few steps forward to your older sibling's room, you nearly bump right into her. With her head down, she doesn't notice you at first.
"Oh," she says, looking up. "Hey."
You stare back at her. There's an odd tension you're sensing.
"Look, ummm..." she mumbles. "I... uh... I'm sorry about this morning."
"Sorry for what?" you ask.
"I really don't want to talk about it," she replies. "It's just that, well, I had certain plans made..."
You continue to stare back at her, not exactly certain where this is going.
"It doesn't matter," she says. "The point is... I understand what you did. You were looking after me. You always look after us. Thank you."
You take a step back from Jessica - surprised she's telling you this - and then smile to yourself.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take a shower," your sister tells you. "If you want, we can talk about this more later."
You're still smiling as Jessica starts to move forward - then you suddenly stop. You just remembered that you're not exactly looking out for your family at the moment - you're forcing Miranda to poop in front of anyone walking by the hallway and Jessica's about to see what you've done. Talk about empty praise.
