She'd Be Lying

Roof Top

*Peggy's POV*

As I stood on top of the roof, thinking of the unimaginable, I closed my eyes to think to myself.

If you're about to get caught, what's the point?

I shook my head and took a deep breath as I opened my eyes. I looked down, and gradually inched closer to the ledge.

Any last words to your family? Dish em' out.

With a second deep breath, I thought about my family and what I would want them to know before I do this.

To my mother, we never had the best relationship, I know you blame me for a lot of things. I'm not mad about it. I was a surprise, I know. I'm sorry I wasn't the son you wanted. I'm sorry I let you down. I'm sorry I'm not more like Angelica or Eliza. I'm sorry that there's actually two of me and I can't tell you. You did the best you could, and thank you for all you gave me.

To my father, from the start, I know you resented me. I wasn't the son that you had hoped for. I really don't know much else to say to you, the very few times that we do talk, you're yelling at me or just speaking over me whenever I try to speak. But you provide. It's more than enough.

To my biggest sister, Angelica. I loved sharing a room with you and Eliza. You guys are my best friends, I don't know if you guys know that or not. Angelica, you've taught me so much about life and school and I know you'll get accepted into all the big schools. I'm so proud of you. You keep doing you because you're unstoppable. I hope you're satisfied in life. You've done and will do a lot more.

To my darling sister, Eliza. Again, sharing a room with you and Angie was the best I could ask for. You guys made me into the girl I am today. I hate what I did to you at homecoming. I played it off like it was nothing. It was stupid of me. I'm sorry. Just know that Maria and I never wanted to hurt you. We don't mean to do these things. Our brain really isn't okay and we can't talk about it because no one would understand.

Any last words for Alexander?

I sighed and shook my head.

No. Nothing for Alexander, I can't let myself feel for him.

By my third deep breath, I was at the very ledge of roof. I don't know how I hadn't fell yet.

I closed my eyes and extended my arms out to the side.

"Peggy? Peggy! What are you doing?!" I heard Eliza say, petrified.

My eyes sprung open and I froze.

"Uh.."

Last words. Last chance. Take the jump now or never.

"G-good bye.." I said and started to lean forward.

I heard Eliza scream, and the next thing I know, it was black.
