Silence

                           Silence

Charlis POV:
When I was 7, I started noticing the difference between my sister and I. People say the youngest gets the most attention, but that wasn't the case for me.

I was neglected every day of my life, my parents treated me differently than they did my sister. All parents say they don't have a favorite, my parents did, and guess what? It wasn't me.

I found out later that I was a mistake, they were only meant to have Delilah, but that shouldn't matter, right? I was still their child, whether I was a mistake or not, I should have been treated the same but they treated me like I was a mistake.

When Delilah asked for something they'd do it, when I did, they'd ignore me completely. On Delilah's birthday, they'd get her a bunch of gifts and have a good celebration, but on mine, I think the most I've ever gotten was a cupcake. 

I began to resent Delilah for having everything I ever wanted. Parents who actually loved her.  Being neglected my whole childhood was what caused me to have borderline personality disorder.

I smiled at him and wrapped his arms around me

Charli: "thank you"

I appreciate him saying that because the reason I never like to tell people I have BPD is because when I do, that's all they see. But that's not who I am, I'm a person. I'm not a mental illness.

Chase: "Are you gonna kill Delilah for telling me?"
Charli: "probably"

He laughed but it wasn't a joke

Chase: "let's go"

Where?

Chase: "let's go to the beach"

He's joking, right? It's 3 AM?

Charli: "absolutely not"
Chase: "we live in San Diego for a reason"

I guess I haven't been to the beach in a while

Chase: "We are going"

He grabbed my hand and practically pulled me out of the house

Once we arrived at the beach it was almost pitch black. I could not see.

Charli: "wow what a beautiful view"

What are we doing?

Chase: "right? Okay let's go swimming"

I laughed

Chase: "it's not a joke"

I can't see?? How am I supposed to swim?

Charli: "I don't even have a bathing suit"

There's no way in hell I'm going swimming

Chase: "enough saying no Charli! You need to start saying yes."

Wait he's right. If I'm gonna die I might as well do stuff before. I need to start living.

Charli: "last one in losses"

I quickly took off my top and my shorts,

I quickly ran into the freezing cold water  before he could get in

Charli: "I win"
Chase: "you got a head start, it's not fair"

He came in after me, and we swam further out into the water.

He came closer to me and I splashed him away

Chase: "oh I will get you"
