When She Was Good. P 1-150

Em tells about how Pamela was so mean and that she now is dead. She cant believe that she is actually gone after all that Pamela put her through. She tells how Pamela was very lazy and just sat around and ate. She never worked becuase she told Em it was her job and that she needed to stop being stupid and figure out what to do so they could live better. Em also goes back and tells about when her mother was still alive and how all the things changed when she passed away. Pamela couldnt be controlled and she wouldnt listen to their father. She also started fighting with their father about money and would go to his work place to get his paycheck from him so he wouldnt spend it on alcohol because he was an alcoholic. She secretly kept half of this money and kept saving it so her and Em could run away. Eventually, their father got remarried and since the girls didnt like her, they ran away. They started living in an apartment but got kicked out after awhile because they didnt pay the rent. This is when Em started working and Pamela stayed home. Em worked a variety of jobs to make things work. Then one day, Pamela dies. Em still hears her voice and worries about how Pamela will react to what she does. Then she remembers that Pamela is gone.
