Salty's dad drank too much
He got canned for the umpteenth time and Salty's mom supported them working for the school district.
Salty had an after school and weekend job helping out at the Wal-Mart. Salty had a Mercury Montego that was on its last legs.
Dad was usually passed out when Salty got home. He tried to stay away from home as much as possible. He felt bad for his little sister and tried to help her where he could.
"Here's some money. Do not fucking tell dad."
"Ya think I'm stupid?!"
"Umm yeah!"
"Fuck you! Thanks for the money"
Jeannie was fourteen. But she weren't exactly a glamour gal. Kinda skinny and red haired and not all that popular.
"I'm going shopping on Saturday with Lynette!"
"Sears?"
"NO! Dumbass. We're going to Southland mall!"
"Hmm. Shopping for some dick?"
"EWW YOU CREEP!"
"Hahaha"
