Jess closed the door behind her and toddled towards Elizabeth’s bed, where she took a seat across from her. Elizabeth took the sight of her in. There was her older sister, her best friend and someone she’d always looked up to, wearing a shirt that didn’t cover her belly button and a thick, disposable diaper. It awakened a sense of maternity within her. She thought Jess incredibly cute.
“I want to apologize for the way I acted towards you tonight, Lizzy. I was completely wrong. It’s just I didn’t know anyone else knew about my secret and, upon finding out, I was afraid that you would all think less of me for it. I was supposed to be the older sister. I’m supposed to be going off to college. And I couldn’t, and really still can’t for that matter, reconcile those ideas with the image you see here, which might actually be the real me”.
