Happy Never After

Chapter 1

"Jess, I don't have time for games now tell me what you want for dinner!" I yelled.

She finally stopped circling around the kitchen. I thought she was going to give me an answer so I waited. But she propped herself up on the counter and scooched her butt on it.

"Alright your getting macaroni again," I said shrugging my shoulders.

It was another day that my parents have left me alone with my little sister. They left for their 10 year anniversary. And of course, I had to baby sit. But I didn't mind. Jess and I had the best times. We would play music and have a fashion show and write number on plain sheets of paper and hold it up Everytime one of us finished just like real judges.

She was 9 years old but acted like a 5 year old. But I loved her to death. She was taking after me and my track career. She said she wanted to run like me. And I am very big on sports so I took her seriously. Everytime I went for a morning run I brought her with me. I had won alot of 1st place medals in my time. And I wanted to shape her into a great athlete.

I looked in the pantry and saw there was no macaroni.

Ugh. That means I would have to go out and buy some at the grocery store up the block.

I checked my phone. It was nearing 7:00. Still almost early but it was the middle of January so it got dark early. I debated whether to run out to the store or not.

I decided to go and get it out the way. I looked into the living room and saw Jess's butt planted in the middle of the couch watching TV. There was no way I was going to get her to budge. So I told her I was leaving, not that she would have heard. When the TV's on, its like she's possessed.

I checked my Instagram before leaving the house.

minnimia: Lmao you really need to get out there more sis😂.

That conversation we were texting on instagram about the fact that I always win the game "Never have I ever." It isn't my fault that I don't do anything. Or maybe it is.

Mia was my best friend. We texted on Snapchat, Instagram, regular messages, and just about every single app. Mia was more on the popular side. She hung out with all the upperclassmen athletes and cheerleaders. If things didn't work our with our friendship, she would easily have a default set of friends.

"Jess I'm leaving!" I slammed the door. I plugged in my headphones and headed toward the store.

I replied to Mia's dm.

Okay Miss. Ihangoutwitheverybody🙄

I was enjoying my music when I heard a voice call out to me. I turned to see a group of boys smoking in front of a door step. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey ma! You wanna come inside and chill?" One of the boys called. I rolled my eyes and walked faster.

I turned up my music all the way to block out any further cat calls.

I finally arrived at the store. I purchased the pasta along with some orange juice and a Reece's cup. The chocolate was for Jess. It was her favorite candy. I always picked something up for her when I came here.

I purchased my things and made my way home. I made sure to put on my hoodie this time so the group of neanderthals wouldn't notice me.

I made it home in peace.

"Jess! I'm back!" I yelled. I looked in the living room but she wasn't there. I rolled my eyes as I thought she was upstairs playing in my room as usual.

"You know there are spy cameras in there! I'll catch you one of these days!" I yelled. I chuckled softly to myself. I took the items out of the bag.

When she didn't answer I went upstairs.

"I got your favorite," I called passing her room. She still wasn't there.

"Okay this isn't funny anymore, Jess come out!" I yelled. I checked everywhere in the house. Still no sign of her.

I had this crazy idea that she was out in the backyard.

I opened the door to the backyard. "Jess!"

"Okay I know-" I cut myself off. My heart dropped as to what my eyes are staring at right in this exact moment.

"Oh my God," I felt my chest in my stomach. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I stared at my little sister, covered in blood and stab wounds all over her body. She layed lifelessly in the grass. My little Jess was murdered.

Because of me.

"And as you can see, lines 1-6 express a change in the character. When she is faced with a life altering situation, she has to act upon it and adapt," She said. She kept talking but I blocked her out. Just like I normally did in all of my classes.

I was stoned faced. Sitting in the back of the classroom. There were people talking and passing notes while the teacher explained whatever the hell she was explaining.

Just then the class bursted out into laughter and loud conversation. I'm guessing the teacher said "You may begin," or something.

I doodled on my notebook a made eye contact with no one until the bell rang. People know not to talk to me or they'll be rudely ignored. I was glad no one talked to me. I didn't want them to. Talking would mean friendship. Friendship would mean expressing feelings. Expressing feelings would mean me opening up and that was not something that I wanted to do.

I kept my head down and headed to my next class. A random girl then bumped into me.

"Are you blind? Do those two pieces of plastic on your face need to be renewed?" I yelled in her face. I had no idea who she was. But I knew she got on my nerves. She looked flustered. I brushed her off and made my way into my next class.

It has been 6 months since the incident. And I still acted insanely mean to everyone. I didn't take my pills today. So I was more miserable than usual. But why wouldn't I be? My sister was dead and it was my fault.

I left her unnattended.

I let her murderer into the house.

I killed Jess. And that pain of knowing that is never going to go away.
