tw:  mention of assault

panic attack 


IT WAS ABOUT six in the morning, Ryland was finally telling Sloane about everything.

"So there's a person inside you?" Sloane asked trying to wrap her head around it.

Ryland shook her head, "it's not like a person, it's me... but evil me..."

"So you're not a cannibal?"

Ryland raised her eyebrows, "why would i-" but Sloane cut her off by laughing as she stared at the celling.

"I was kidding."

"I know!" Ryland laughed along with her.

Sloane turned back to face Ryland, "so Allison sent you there again? why?"

Ryland sighed, "I called her out for something bad, and she didn't appreciate it. So she sent me there...?"

"That's messed up." Sloane looked at Ryland sadly, sensing the pain she was in.

Ryland nodded.

-x-

The two were eating their breakfast when they heard a knock, "I'll go get it." Ryland stood up and peeked her head out, but closed the door immediately.

"I just want to talk!" Sloane heard from outside.

Ryland didn't budge, "then talk to yourself! It's fun. I do it all the time!"

"Please just-" and Allison pushed the door open.

Sloane offered a small smile, and cleaned the crumbs off the bed.

"What?" Ryland asked impatiently as she sat next to Sloane.

Allison sighed, "I just wanted to... apologize. For being a shitty sister."

"Understatement of the universe." Ryland mumbled and Sloane hit her hand to make her stop, "go ahead." Ryland told her.

"What?" Allison asked.

"Apologize."

Allison sighed, "I just did."

Ryland rolled her eyes, "no, you said you wanted to apologize. You didn't apologize. I want to see what you have to say for everything you did."

"Ryland I-"

Ryland stood up, "no, you were a horrible person to everyone, you didn't consider you were hurting other people. I was willing to be there for you after everything that happened. You cut me off! and then don't even get my started on what happened with Luther. Did you apologize to him? Because if you didn't that should be the first thing you do. I can't believe you made him do something like that! especially when I was in the same situation as him in Dallas. Surprisingly you were the only person I told, and when I called you out for being a shitty person, you sent me to my worst nightmare. The same situation I had to face when I was sixteen! the same situation I still take anti anxiety meds for! I almost died there. If I couldn't escape and come back, I would have been dead. So I'd like to see you try to apologize for something like that!"
