"Ugh, I don't know if this will work" I sigh, turning to inspect every part of my outfit. I was getting ready for my date with Xavier with the help of Yoko and Enid.

"Are you kidding? That looks amazing!" Enid claps excitedly, one of the many things I noticed she did at times of excitement.

"Yeah, if Xavier doesn't like it then he has absolutely no taste" Yoko agrees with a small laugh.

"Yeah, okay I guess. I have to go though, it's almost seven thirty" I grab both my purse and little gift bag which contained a gift for Xavier.

"Bye, hopefully, you spend the night with him!" Yoko teases, waving.

"Perv!" I laugh, closing my dorm door and going downstairs. I walk through the trail, remembering my way perfectly.

As I inched closer to the shed, my stomach filled with butterflies, though my vision was filled with bright red and blue lights.

"What the hell?" I mutter, taking a few steps closer to the source. It was a patrol car in front of Xavier's shed. "Xavier!"

I run over, and Xavier walks out with an officer behind him. "Xavier, what the hell is happening?"

"Dahlia, step back" Sheriff Galpin placed a hand on my shoulder, pushing me back.

"No, why the hell are you arresting him?!" I watched as they placed Xavier into the backseat, his face stayed expressionless the entire time.

"He's the monster, We figured it out with the help of your sister"

"What? He's not the monster, I know that for a fact. Wednesdays lying!" I push past him, entering the shed. By now they had already left with Xavier, Sheriff Galpin ready to do the same.

"Dahlia" Wednesday stood, a slight smirk of satisfaction on her face.

"Oh, you're happy locking up my boyfriend? Well great to see you're feeling happy"

"I simply helped with catching the monster"

"Oh my God, Wednesday! I told you already he's not the monster, I told you to stop investigating him and now here we are!"

"There is evidence, this is everything he collected from his victims" She gestured to the desk, the belongings there just as she said.

"It's obviously planted, I was in here not even that long ago, and that stuff wasn't anywhere!"

"You must've missed it"

"God Wednesday, why the hell did you have to do this? I was finally happy, I wasn't living in your shadow, I was finally Dahlia Addams, not the other twin!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb, it's obvious everyone likes you more! I mean I will never compare to the great Wednesday Addams in Mother and Father's eyes. I will always be the other twin."

"Mother and Father love you"

"Yeah, they kind of have to, they're my parents!"

"Dahlia..."

"No, see you don't get it, you always go on about how you'll never be as good as Mother and how you'll never compare to her but try walking in my shoes! I have always been in your shadow, I do something good and I try to do it my hardest, and you do it perfectly without even trying. Hell, I made new friends, and even after you treated them like shit, some of them still liked you better!"

My eyes were filled with tears as I paced in front of Wednesday. "I just learned to simply stop trying. Stop trying to do good, stop trying my best because it's never as good as you is it? No, but see I may not be as smart as you or liked as much as you but then I got Xavier. He is the only guy who has ever treated me with respect and love in a relationship, and I finally felt comfortable in a relationship, I finally felt loved and you ruined it! I actually feel like I'm worth something when I'm with him!"

"Dahlia, where is this coming from?"

"This is what the hell has been on my mind ever since we were ten Wednesday. That's when I realized I would never be enough, ever."

"I'm sorry"

"Oh, great a pity apology. You can take that apology to someone who actually wants to hear it because I am not going to listen or talk to you anymore. Don't ever try to talk to me again, don't ever try to come up to me again, and don't ever rope me into an investigation ever again. Take that bullshit to someone else because I am done being at the beck and call of perfect, perfect Wednesday Addams."

I walk out of the shed, rushing past Wednesday and all of the other students gathered outside of the school who had heard what happened. My arm is pulled, stopping me in front of a worried Yoko.

"Hey, I heard what happened. I can't believe Xavier was the monster"

"Xavier wasn't the monster, Wednesday is making it up"

"Uhhh, she found evidence, I don't really think that's 'making it up'" Yoko chuckles.

"Yeah, whatever now can I go back to my dorm or what?"

"Jeez, don't get mad at me. I'm just trying to bring your mood down. It's not my fault that Xavier turned out to be the monster" Yoko rolls her eyes in frustration.

"Believe whatever the hell you want but let me go back to my dorm because this is definitely not bringing my mood down"

"Fine asshole" Yoko lets go of my hands, pushing me slightly in doing so. My eyes filled with even more tears as I continued my way into the school and to Ophelia Hall. I stop in front of my dorm.

As I enter, I lock the door, making my way over to the bathroom and doing the same to that door as well. I sit down against the door, leaning my head back and letting my tears stain my rosy cheeks.

I decide to turn on the bath, letting my fingers run under the hot water. Soon enough, I sat down, my small muffled cries now becoming loud sorrowful sobs.

My whole world was coming crashing down, I couldn't support it, I couldn't fake my way through it anymore. I was becoming my worst nightmare once more.

I was back to being the other Addams' twin.
