Yes she does have issues, Her big Sister rivalry was fueled by Darcy resenting Chole’s favored child status and was slow adjusting her out look from big sister to adult guardian. Chole real being taken for granted point is with her best friends who have 3rd wheeled her, and they were the primary reason she choose to live with her sister over her brother
Jeez, her parents messed her up hard, probably indulged every single tantrum she had

If Fred had come up and taken her out of the car and explained things, I can imagine him being like “forget it, I know what it’s like”
But when he also gave her a ride home? No way he’s not expecting monetary appreciation for that.
She has a point.

Wouldn’t have been simpler if she had phoned her brother and asked to come and get her and she had fit in any more with the two boys
Well, that’d be a lot to ask of her brother considering he lives in a different part of the country. Also, I’m sure she wanted to be dramatic!
