"You said you wouldn't forget to pick up your siblings! I trusted you but I just should've known that you'll let me down again!" My mom yelled from the other end of the line.

"Mom I'm so sorry I really am so sorry I can ex-"

"I need my kids home, I don't need your explanation." My mom cuts me off then hangs up on me.

Didn't I tell you? you're just a failure and no one will trust you ever again. Go kill yourself and make their lives way better. You're not just a threat to yourself, but to others. You're disgustingly selfish and self centered you don't even deserve to live. Okay I'll kill myself , I just need to get my siblings back home.

I get up, grab my keys and start driving around looking for them.

Where could they have possibly gone? They got kidnapped. No they did not , please don't say that. I'll just drive back to school maybe they're still there? Your mother said she called the school and they said that everyone had already left. So they got kidnapped. Oh God please no.

I don't know where I am, nor where I'm headed to, I just need to find my siblings.

Two hours later, still nothing. What do I do? Go jump off of a cliff. Shut the hell up! Not before I get my siblings safe back home.

My phone starts vibrating, "Betsy is calling.." the screen read.

"Girl where are you?" she says from the other end of the line.

"I'm looking for my siblings my mom called and said they're not in school and I didn't take them home so i think they got kidnapped I don't know what-"

"Girl are you out of your mind? Just relax, I'm at yours and they're right here. Now come back home they'll explain." She cuts me off.

"Okay okay I'm on my way." I hang up.

I let out a sigh of relief. My siblings are fine.

***

I get out of the car and run to my siblings. I hug them so tight as a tear made its way down my cheek. "I'm so glad you're fine." I whispered to myself.

"Okay so is anyone gonna explain what happened?" I ask them, concerned.

The two 10-year-old twins say in union," Caleb saw us waiting-"

"wait who?" I say, shocked.

Who does he think he is?

"Caleb, your friend told us he's gonna take us home because you went home. And then we went to get some lunch and we had an icream" Charles said.

"Okay okay,  let's call mommy and let her know you're fine." I said as we all got inside.

"So what did you want to tell me? You know the text you sent" Betsy asks me.

"Caleb, dumped his girlfriend just to get with me.." I said, "and he probably also gave my siblings a ride home for that reason too, I don't know what to do." I added then I let out a sigh. I'm exhuasted. Can't believe my mother went through this because of me.

"Are you serious? Are you gonna tell Corina the truth?"

"Yes of course! He ruined her reputation, just to get with ME. I think I owe her this."

"your mom is calling" Betsy says as she hands me my phone.

I'm scared. Well you better be. She went through hell and back, because of YOU. Stop pushing it down my throat in every single chance you get. I get it, I'm a failure. Hell yes you are.

"Brianna?" my mom said the moment I picked up the phone.

"Yes, mom" I responded, my voice trembling.

"I'm sorry, about what I'd said earlier.. It's just that the thought of anyone of you getting hurt messes up my whole mind."

She meant it. She meant every single word she said. You know they say people are most honest when they're angry. 

"i-it's fine mom, I love you." I say, holding back my tears.

" I love you too honey, be home at 7." She says and then hangs up.

So let me get this straight, you went home and cried yourself to sleep, you didn't even set an alarm so therefore you couldn't get up and collect your siblings from school on time. Your mother almost gone insane because of the thought of your siblings getting kidnapped. All because of you. Can't you just become a better daughter and sister? You suck and you need to change. Or else you got to stay out of their lives. You choose how.

I'm going to try. I'll try to change.

***
"Who do you think you are huh?" I say as I approach Caleb in the hallway.

"I'm Caleb Daniels, and I like you." He says as he smirks.

"This isn't a matter of joking okay, you took my siblings without anyone's permission, my mom went through hell and back because you decided to be a hero just to prove to me that you're a good person when all you did was ruin a girl's reputation and break her heart."

"No he did not, darling." Corina says as she approaches us.

I didn't notice all this people gather up, but the hallway was so crowded that I got so anxious. Nobody likes you.

"Corina please, hear me out. He said it himself, he did all of this just to get with me. I swear I knew nothing about all of this. I was gonna tell you-"

"Just shut up fat bitch." Corina cuts me off. "And you better get away from my man." She adds as she takes Caleb's hand and leaves.

See, everyone thinks you're fat. Starve yourself and die.

"Dude what was all that?" Betsy says as she wraps her arm around me.

"I don't even know. I'm so confused and I feel like shit."

"Who do they think they are? Do they really think it's some kind of a game?" Betsy says, frustrated.

"Apparently yes" I sigh. "I'm just a doll, and everyone likes to play with me I guess." I add.

"Shut up girl, don't say that. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you."

"But i hate myself so what's good?"

Betsy says nothing, but pulls me in a tight hug.

She probably hates you too. Well thanks for making my life one million times harder. Cheers. My pleasure, my love.

***
It's been a really long day. I kept on hearing the same words over and over again. "What a slut" , "who would've known that this dumb fatass can do such thing" and the list goes on.

I just want to sleep and get my head off of everything. Do you really think that's possible honey? Oh God.

Just as I close my eyes to rest, and go into a better realm, I hear a knock on the door. A tough one.

I get up and go down stairs to check who came.
"Hey brianna" the voice behind the door said.
I instantly close the door and lock it up. My heart falling out of my chest.
