I suck, I've been neglecting you guys and I'm sorry.

Cheri' POV
I frowned as my sister held out her tiny little hand to me. "Stop it, I'll never like you. You killed our Mom." I spit, glaring at her. She just coos and tries again. "Angel I just said-!" She grabs my finger and I feel the anger escape me. "Tch, whatever. It's not like you can understand me anyway." She let's out a giggle and I do my best not to smile.
"Stupid baby," I mutter while picking her up and cradling her in my arms. "It's just me and you...Scarlet." I mumble softly.
3 5/6 Yrs Old~
"Scarlet get your scrawny ass in here!" I shout with a chuckle, hearing her little feet patting against the floorboards. "CheChe! Bad!" She was holding the little bank I had given her when she began to repeat the curse words I said.
"I regret giving you that," I groan and she simply giggles as I drop in two quarters. I watch as she shakes the container filled with coins. 'Should I stop calling her Scarlet? It isn't her name...but she killed our mother, she's a devil.' I frown as she walks over and hugs my leg, smiling up at me. 'Mom wanted her named Angel...I've always thought of her as a devil...a demon that didn't deserve anything. She's so kind though...'
I watch as her multicolored eyes, similar to our Mother's, shift and she moves to where she smells food. Unintentionally, I smile. "Angel..." Her head tilts and I see her attention move to me once more. She suddenly smiles the brightest smile I have ever seen on her face.
Tears come to my eyes and I drop to the floor, "Angel...Angel....Angel!" I cry, tears falling from my eyes, making their way to the floor. Angel walks over and hugs me, "shh...shh..." She pats my head, giving my cheek a gentle kiss.
Her actions cause me to cry more and I grab her, pulling her into a hug. "I'm s-so sorry...I failed Mom...and you..." I sob and she just shushes me once more, this time kissing away the tears on my cheeks and cupping my face, nuzzling our noses together. "Lobe you, CheChe."
How could I treat her so cruelly?
6 Yrs Old~
"Cherry!" I heard my little sister squeal in her little voice and laughed as she climbed into my lap. "Yes Angel?" She held out a book, "read it to me?" I take the book and nod with a smile, "sure." I probably should've looked at the cover.
"Mommy always said, 'a life given is a life taken'. Today is the day my baby sister will be born, Daddy seemed kinda sad but it's okay! He was packing to go on vacation. I don't know why he'd do that today but either way- it's time! She's here! She's here!
Mommy was cold, very cold. The doctor lady gave me the baby and I don't like her anymore... She killed Mommy." I froze and closed the book, looking at the cover. It was my diary from 6 years ago. I didn't remember until now.
"Cherry, you're supposed to keep reading. I want to know how a baby can kill a mommy." I looked down at Angel and felt a rekindle of burning anger and pushed her off my lap, hearing her cry out in pain. "Shut up!" I growl and her eyes well with tears as she sits with a twisted ankle.
"Come on, we're going out." I stand up and she whimpers, "but Cherry my leggy!" I slap her and her eyes widen as she cries more. "I said come on!" I snatch her up by the hand and drag her to her room. "Get dressed!" I push her into the room and go to my own, rummaging through my clothes and putting on a few things to keep me warm.
I find a bag and stomp back to her room, hearing her distant crying. Walking inside, I open the door roughly and frown when I see her struggling to put her pants on her hurt ankle. She was already dressed from the waist up.
Ignoring her struggle, I walk to the closet and stuff her clothes, shoes, and socks in there. I hesitate but put a few snacks in the front of the bag and a $5 bill. Turning back around, I pick her up and help her get her pants on the rest of the way before putting on her socks and shoes.
It doesn't take me long and soon we're in the car as I drive to another town. I was thinking of where I could drop her off. An orphanage? She probably didn't even deserve that. I was so mad, I didn't notice I was slowly veering off the road until my sister screamed.
It was only a few moments before we crashed and I saw the terror written all over my sister's face before it all went black.
When I woke that night, I was in a hospital. "S-Scarlet...?" I called weakly, my voice hoarse. "Ah, you're up. I'm sorry to inform you but your sister, Angel is being taken from you. She had a twisted ankle and a bruised cheek from before the accident and we also found a bag with what we assumed to be her clothing in it. We'll take good care of her, we promise." A man in a white coat speaks with a police officer beside him.
"Oh, you're also going to jail for child abuse and neglect. Your sister was in the front seat without a seatbelt, she was underage, and had no safety seat." The office spoke quickly and I moved, my eyes landing on the cuffs beside me. "I want my lawyer." I finally stated, fed up with everything.
Scarlet could just die for all I cared.
