Kristina's POV
It has been a week, and Joanna has begun to go back to the old her again. She has been much more mad lately, and she has quit therapy. She also snapped at me sometimes. I have been so sad after we went home from Norway. Joanna are just arguing about it. One night, I could hear Joanna and Alex arguing in their bedroom.

"She needs you, and you're just complaining that she's in bed all day!", I heard Alex say.

"She's just overreacting, and so are you.. She's fine, she just want attention", Joanna said.

They had argued a lot lately, and I even heard they doubt about their relationship. I tried to convince her to go therapy again, but she got pissed. One day, she chose to kill her therapist to stop this mystery. And it was very brutally. I could hear the screams coming from the basement. I snuck downstairs to see what was going on.

"Please don't.. I'm just trying to help you", he explained.

"I need you dead! It's the only way to stop Kristina from forcing me to go therapy", Joanna told him.

"Then she's gonna try convincing you to go to a new therapist.. this isn't the solution", the guy said.

Joanna hit him.

Joanna's POV
I had lost some cash the last time I went therapy. I found the exact same money in his pocket. 500 dollars.

"What is this?", I asked him.

"It's nothing", he said.

"Is this my money?", I asked.

"No, it's not", he said.

"Tell me the truth and I will shoot you quickly, or I can make you suffer for days", I threatened him.

"Please let me live", he said.

"Is. this. my. money? Tell me.. now!", I said.

"Fine, it's your money", he said.

I killed him instantly. Suddenly, I recognized Kristina in the stairs. She looked disappointed at me.

"Don't look at me like that, you can't take this shit so seriously", I said.

Dory and I had gotten a much better relationship lately. One day she caught me cutting myself. I was so upset about my family and about Joanna and Alex arguing. Dory tried to talk to them for me.

"Don't you have empathy, you idiots? She's hurting herself for goodness sakes!", Dory told them.

Joanna slapped her in the face because she got mad.

"Enough is enough", Joanna said as she went to talk to me.

"Do I need to lock your bedroom door at night to prevent you from hurting yourself?", she asked.

"It doesn't get better to hurt yourself!", she said.

"You don't care about me, do you?", I asked as I broke into tears.

"Awe.. honey, don't cry", she said.

She hugged me.

"You're right.. I've changed a lot lately.. and I'm sorry", she told me.

I went to bed around 11:30 pm, but I didn't fall asleep before 1:00 am or something because I was overthinking.
