The Stories I'll Never Write

Monster

TW: talk of su*cide

"You are just so...so..."

"Say it." I hiss back.

"evil."

I smiled at her and chuckled. "You think IM evil? Have you even begun to wonder why I am this way? What could have possessed me to treat you like this?"

Jane stayed silent, a stray tear running down her cheek.

"It truly is rich hearing that coming from you. The chosen one. The perfect little angel."

"Im not perfect."

"No, I suppose not. But you are exceptionally good at playing the part, arent you? Having everyone eating out of the palm of your hand, believing you could do no wrong."

"Its not my fault no one wants to be around you. Its not my fault your only friend would rather-"

"NO." The word spewed from my lips as I grabbed her by the face. "You do not have the right to speak of her. Dont you dare say her name."

She pulled her face away from me, a smile dancing on her blood-stained lips. "What? Still having feelings about your dear friend Lilly. The poor girl killed herself because she couldnt stand the thought of being associated with your filth."

I stared at her. I felt the tears welling and my chest tighten, but I could not give her the satisfaction.

"Lilly fell. She didn't...she wouldn't kill herself."

"Sure, Meredith." Jane sighed, still with that small smile I wanted to rip from her face. "It wasnt at all your fault. She just happened to be walking along the bridge, in the pouring rain after the big fight you had, after she found out the type of monster you really areshe just happened to slip and fall over the guard rail into the river."

My hand was connecting with her face before I even realized I was going to hit her. Her head fell back to her chest as she spit blood onto the ground. She chuckled before looking back at me, her eyes lit up with a fire Id never seen before.

"See? This is who you are. A disgusting, piece of shit that would rather beat the shit out of her own sister than admit she is to blame for her own friends suicide. You are without a doubt, a- "

"Just shut up!" I screamed, covering my ears with my fists. "Shut up shut up SHUT. UP."

"If I was your best friend, I would have killed myself too." She said, standing up shakily as I knelt to the ground, the tears running down my face. "Unfortunately, Im your sister and Ive had to clean up your messes ever since I was born. Imagine, the younger sister having to make sure the oldest kept her shit together and didnt ruin the whole family with her filth."
