A Furious Chick

Truth Is... Part 1

Katherine

I walked into Kaleb's house with a bottle of liquor in my hand. He sat with a glass of tea, watching a baseball game that he did not seem the least bit interested in. I turned off the game.

"You are going to drink this liquor. You're going to down it and you are going to rile me up and kick my ass."

"Excuse me?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Feelings." I poured the liquor. "When I saw the triplets room, I felt love and so I remembered them in my arms at the hospital. I believe if I get angry, I'm going to remember things. Or at least the basics. So come on. I need you to get angry so I can get even more angry."

"Katherine, I'm sober right now." He whispered. Staring at the drink with desperation in his eyes, he began to squirm.

"Kaleb, I need you to help me out here. I will pay for your rehab and help you get back on track. And besides, who has the right to make you stop drinking if you don't want to?"

"Alina." Kaleb looked at me. "She's the love of my life and stopping means I get to be hers, too."

"Well that is the most foolish thing I've ever heard." I waved my hand. I placed the drink on the table and sighed. "Fine. I'm going to find someone else to trigger me. Thanks for helping."

I stormed to the door.

"You were never liked. By anyone." Kaleb shouted after me. "Not growing up, not by Dom or anyone in the team. I was always the better twin because I had control over myself and I use my head."

I turned around and saw him gulping the glass I poured.

"What do you mean?" I frowned.

"Don't you get it?" He poured himself another. "If it weren't for your children, Brian would've left you a long time ago. This team would've dropped your unstable ass a long time ago."

Again, he downed that drink like water and grabbed the bottle, taking huge gulps.

"The main thing is that you are simply intolerable." Kaleb shrugged. "You don't think before you act. That day you got captured, we were all relieved."

I felt something stirring in my stomach. My fingers began to twitch.

"Why?"

"Because Katherine lets be brutally honest, we are better without you!" He stood, caressing the bottle as if it was the love of his life. "Sometimes I wish I could ditch you. But you're my twin and I am bound to you forever. And that's what this relationship is! It's not a loving sister and brother relationship. It's simply something I have to put up with but let's be honest, love..."

I felt my face heating up. "What?"

"No one would care if you disappeared forever."

I balled my hand up in a fist.

"In fact, your daughters would be better off without you. Considering how you fuck up everything, you'll probably fuck up their lives, too. Like you did with my life and Brian's."

And it was like I put on a pair of glasses and everything became clear. Kaleb noticed my change of appearance and set down the half full bottle. He placed his hands on his hips.

"Do us all a favor, Katherine." Kaleb sighed. "Just fucking leave."

I lunged at him.
