Fragile (#1 Betrayal At Its Best)

•Chapter 9•

Megh was my sister.

How could I not have known?

I recalled the picture with June Havens. Of course that was my sister. How did I think that Megh was my sister and that she was...

Alex had something that made people believe false things. Now I had one more thing to avenge for.

I cried so much that entire night. The fact that Finnick loved Megh, and not me. The fact that I loved Finnick and not Alex. And guess what Megh realized she loves Alex. This was an entire love square. But now Megh was gone, my only moral support. But who knows...

I was jealous of Megh in so many ways, even though we had the same face, and persona she was in all ways better than me. Academically and socially. She had the perfect life ever. She.

I loved Megh but she was cruel to me in so many ways. After all it was me who used to sit up late night while she went to those parties. And guess what? She would call me to pick her up when she was drunk. I always had her back.

She was just nice to me when she needed something and the next moment, shove me underground.

The only way I was ahead of her was Alex. Alex was both our best friends but he loved me. Loved me more than her. One thing I get more and that made her jealous. Wasn't she satisfied? Didn't she know we had a mission. Oh, I forgot. She hated our parents so she refused to be a part of it. She had other things to concentrate on more apparently.

She was playing Finnick the whole time, trying to make Alex jealous and left me being her slave. Alex told me to give it to her and I tried telling Finnick but he hated me. I was cruel to Megh apparently.

It was such a contrast. I don't know what made me fall for Finnick. He even kissed me that night, causing me to slap him for my betraying me sister. I was in no way like my sister. No wonder he tried killing me at one point. I think he thinks I killed Megh.

Well, I started dating Alex. Yes I was hurting him to be honest, but I needed some happiness. But again I could fall in love with neither Alex nor Finnick, but I did.

June Havens. My best friend. Our best friend. June knew everything Megh did to me and was here for me but she loved popular-driven Meghan more.

Alex and Phoenix were the only ones who didn't think it was shameful to hang out with me. Alex was the second most popular guy in school and everyone glared at us because they thought I never deserved him.

And again I felt Alex was lying to me. I could fall in love with neither Alex nor Finnick because then everything would be ruined, but I did. Now it dawned on me why June tried to drive me away from Alex. Meanwhile I treated her like shit. I hope she forgave me.

Tomorrow in school I would finally know who was lying and who wasn't. The basic idea was formed in Alex's head that I was getting my memory back. I had to warn him. I don't know what was in Alex's phone that made him go wild and whip Finnick. And the next moment also joke with him. Boys...

Wide awake. I'm wide awake. Literally my thoughts were crossing the boundary lines. I had to find out about Megh. Now that she's gone, all the attention would be turned to me. I was excited but afraid, cause this was something that Megh can handle, and not me.

UGH. Did I really deserve all this. God should have killed me instead of Megh. No one cared less if I lived or died. They'll all probably think I killed her because I was supposed to be the evil twin.

"Stop overloading your brain. Gosh. Go see your face in the damn mirror. Close enough to a ghost."

Alex tried his best to make me feel better but it only made me feel worse.

"Tomorrow's a big day and you really need sleep baby." He cooed.

"Come here." He said opening his arms and I snuggled in them putting my head on his chest. He gently tap my back for a few minutes saying a few nice things here and there.

"Alex, do you really love me?"

"Why would you think I don't Em? Have I been unsuccessful in proving myself?" He asked searching for my eyes.

"No for the past few days you're just lying to me. I know you think I can't handle it but-"

"So that is equal to me not loving you?" He asked.

"I...uh was just curious."

"I love you more than anyone in this world." And he whispered I have to let you go.

I think I wasn't supposed to hear that but I did. Probably it was a hallucination.

"Megh loved you so much." I said.

"I know." He said, his jaw clenching.

"So? Why would you choose me?"

"I have my reasons. She was so cruel to you perhaps. I don't think love is based on popularity but the heart. It should come out of here." He said pointing to his chest.

"You wouldn't know how it felt Emma. I've spent half my life loving you."

"What?" I asked but he just paused and kissed me. Like he didn't want anymore questions.

I kissed him back and it ended quickly.

"Get some sleep, honeybear." He said kissing my forehead.

This time I did sleep, peacefully slipping away into his arms.
