I needed time to process things,I just got through a few traumatic events and I wanted to have time alone.I put my hair in a bun and put

on my faded capri overalls with long side slit white graphic tee with Mike Wazowski,the Monster's Inc. character all over it.I put on

my tan mesh combat boots and I didn't put on make up.I would look ridiculous.I walked outside and got in my car. Surprisingly my gas

card was still being reloaded...my father didn't stop the monthly withdraw from his account.I got in my car and drove to the mall.I

wanted to do something most girls do...boys were overrated.I turned on the radio New Flame by Chris Brown was on the radio.I

had only turned the radio on once before...every ride in this car was silent unless it was a happy one.I didn't get good vibes.I arrived

sooner than thought.I was kind of happy,I haven't been shopping since my sister went missing...I always went with her.The first place I

would always go to was Starbucks Coffee...Matthew...Damn it.I caught myself ordering a Swiss herbal vanilla

milkshake.What he ordered on our first date.It wasn't bad,I was used to having strawberry.I walked straight into Charlotte Russe,it was

my favorite store immediately heading to the graphic tee sale they had.I had already had about five T-shirts and two skirts and

three jeans in my hands before I felt eyes boring into my skin.I quickly turned around seeing a girl with red hair dip dyed orange quickly

turn her head.I walked towards her.Slowly inching towards...she grabbed her stuff and walked off covering her face.I felt awkward and

turned my head and walked up the counter so I can just blow off my gas card,it had about sic hundred on it...I could use a good four out of

it.I bought what I had along with flower head bands and other jewelry I found.I walked out heading to Bath and Body works.It was so

weird that a person was staring at me,but also tempting as well.I wanted to know who it was...maybe an old friend I had...something

I didn't but anything in there,instead I went on a wild goose chase to find her.I saw the back of the girls head in Sheiks a shoe

store.Before seeing the CUTEST palm tree KD's,Blue and Green Air Max's,and red and blue nikes I walked towards

her.She caught me at the

corner of her eye.And walked off fast.With the uncomfortable height if the situation I yelled "Hey!" and

began running for her,stuff in hand.She ran into WetSeal,then into Forever21 and then Journey all while I ran after.I quickly passed a

register throwing my bags asking her to hold them while I ran against wind.I finally caught up and grabbed her

shoulder.Whirling her around,"Hey,don't I know-"I stopped myself at the sight,dropping my drink."Kaleen?"I said slowly

tears filling my eyes.She had eyeliner and mascara with dark make up on and a lip piercing,fresh looking,I would know."Oh my god it's

you!"I said.She looked just like me now,her nose,lips and eyes filled in the perfect shade of green,she looked older she looked at me

reaching a hand out to my eye...she broke into tears as well."Im sorry...I don't know you..."I gasped."No,you do Im your sister...""No Im

sorry,Megan I don't know you!""You just said my name... you do!Why'd you leave us?!?Why were you so selfish?!?Why did you leave

me?!?"I began losing my temper gripping her arm tightly as she tried to pull away."I DON'T KNOW YOU!"People stared in all

directions,we were standing in the middle of the mall and things weren't look to good."Please!!!ANSWER ME!!!""Let go of me or I'll

scream and hope someone pry's you off of me..."I let go."Im happy,Im not in that corrupt house and it's best you leave too,before you end

up in the position I almost was...dead."She said whispering and ran off.I heard people's whispers as I backed away from the

scene,eyes staring,laughs and snickers before I ran off.I walked into the bathroom.There in the stall I pulled on my hair screaming

at the top of my lungs.I kicked and kicked and kicked.I had a horrible anxiety about her.Scratching as hard as I could until I

broke skin on my arms and yelling until my lungs gave out and my larynx tore.My throat got sore instantly and little squeaks escaped my

mouth as I tried to scream again.I struggled to let go of my hair and sit up.My hair was down now from the yanking and my arms were

bleeding but it was alright...Im always hurt.Always.I walked back out to grab my bags and headed outside to my car.I

drove back to their house.No one was home.I was lonely I walked into the bathroom and locked the door,my anxiety was still high,then I

thought to myself.I had my answer,I had no reason left to live anymore...I was a SELFISH BITCH with a bullshit life.I was just

dragging people through it...Im going to be selfish,I am...because it's about mother fucking time I was happy,and it wasn't going to

work if I was alive and had the people I was supposed to love in along with it.I looked around in the bathroom,In the drawers,nothing,in the

mirror cabinet ,nothing but strep throat and allergy pills then I looked to the side of the sink.There...rat poison...I stared at it my

mind went blank immediately and my hands moved faster than my brain could.I grabbed a glass sitting at the edge of the sink

and filled it with water...I slowly took it.Not feeling anything at first,then my side hurt awfully and my eyes rolled back I heard a

huge bang then...but not before I fell out.I didn't know if I was dead,I just knew I was still thinking and all I saw was dark.If this was

it then I was all alone now.
