"Ariana, can we get this?" Y/n held up a bag of chips from a brand I have never heard of before. "No. They look expensive." Y/n put the chips down and loudly groaned. "Everything is expensive to you!" I shrugged my shoulders mad look at some chips that look interesting and good. I put it in the shopping cart before going to the next aisle.

"Can I please get something, Ana? Please!" I shook my head, "no, Y/n. I'll spoil you with something else but we don't have enough time to check out everything you picked up. It's suppose to be a fast trip." I explained.

"I should've stayed in the car." Y/n pouted. "You can't stay in the car by yourself-"

"I can't stay in the car by myself, I can't stay at home by myself, can I not go to the bathroom by myself? I'm not a kid anymore, Ariana!" I look around and see a bunch of people looking at us. "Shit, Y/n, you're drawing attention!" I whisper-yell, "just be quiet until we get home, okay? Thank you." I hear a angry sigh from Y/n but I try to ignore it. The last thing I need is for someone to ask us if everything is okay because Y/n would just tell the truth.

"So you killed someone?" One of the two girls that were standing in front of me asked. I continued playing with the piece of grass I had in my hand, completely ignoring them.

One of the girls snatched the grass out of my hand and the other pulled me up by my ponytail and looked me in the face. "Listen, bitch, I don't know what you did to get in this hell hole, but you better answer us before we do somethin' that we regret." The other girl nodded her head in agreement.

"You wanna know what I did, Eloise?" Eloise was the girl that was holding me up, the other girl was Halley. They were best friends. Eloise nodded. "Yes, I killed someone. Her name was Lucy, and I would do the same thing to you, you know, kill you? But I'ma be a good girl and keep my hands to myself because I don't want to hurt someone nor do I wanna put myself in the electrical chair, but if you don't put me down, then I might just have to do something that I regret."

Eloise laughed. I could tell that Halley didn't want to end up like her best friend which is understandable.

I ball my fist up and punch Eloise right in the mouth. She instantly fell to the ground and everyone gasped. I could here whispers all throughout the yard.

The attention was making me nervous, so I ran inside, only to be stopped by mother. "Ariana, you do know that we have cameras everywhere, correct?"

"I apologize, mother! Please don't take me to the electrical chair! I swear it was an accident, a huge accident- she was just holding my hair and I started to freak out! Please don't tell! Please, please, PLEASE!"

"Ariana, hun, I know you don't like it, but I can't help you. According to the law of this household, I have to take you to the electrical chamber. I promise it will be quick and easy, just please stop crying and begging for mercy."

I was terrified...

"Do you hate me?" I ask Y/n as we ate dinner. Y/n looked up at me then looked back down and didn't say anything. "Y/n, babe, I'm sorry! I just-"

"You just what?!" Y/n snapped. She shook her head and got up from the table with plate. I rubbed the bridge of my nose, not knowing what to do. Life has never been so complicated...

"Y/n, let's talk. It was just a grocery store filled with a bunch of stuff you were curious about. I didn't buy you anything because I wanted to make the trip quick and easy.

"Ariana, we're in Canada! No one knows me here!!" Y/n yelled. I grip onto the table and try to calm myself down. Y/n was starting to piss me off. "There could be spies..."

"Camila, Elodie and Celesté are dead, Ariana!! Wha- why?!  Why would any of them have spies on me??!"

"WHY DOES EVERYONE GET MAD WHEN I TRY TO PROTECT THEM, HUH?!" I yelled out as I abruptly stood out of my chair. I looked at Y/n to see her scared. "I'm sorry, I just...need some time..."

Y/n didn't hesitate to rain up the stairs and go into our shared room.

I put my hand on my head and take deep breaths in and out.

"I have to do something."
