Secrets and Lies:Identical

Prison or Unplugged

I blamed Jordan for the monster I had became. I remember when I used to be so sweet and innocent but all of that changed when I let his demons inside of me. I had finally understood why they said love made you do some crazy things but I don't know if stabbing your sister and holding a butcher knife to your own mothers throat fits into that category. I was a fucking psychopath, but I couldn't kill my own mother. I slowly started to remove the knife away from her neck. She grabbed my hand and pushed the knife back against her throat. My hand felt a little moist and I could see a small amount of blood on the tip of my fingers. My mother started to laugh and even though I had the knife in my hand. She was starting to scare me. I let the knife go and it dropped against the floor making a ringing sound in my ear. She placed her hand against my face as she looked in my eyes. She had this blank look on her face that gave me this weird fiery feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew at that moment that something was wrong. She leaned towards me and said "Oh my sweet sweet girl, I always wondered which one of you it would be". I thought it would be your sister , but I should have known it would be the quiet one. I had no clue what she was talking about but she was surely about to show me. My mother grabbed my hand and we went to the computer in the living room. She typed the password in and deleted the surveillance video that showed what I had done on it. Next, she ripped a cord out of the camera that pointed towards the kitchen out. I didn't know why she was helping me but I was definitely scared of her. We walked back into the kitchen and sat down. For a moment it was just a weird silence lingering in the air. Until I build up the courage to say something to her. I said "Mom , I don't understand" and she placed her finger over her mouth signaling me to hush. She began to tell me a story about how she almost got caught having a relationship with one of her students. She said the school board started to look into her and she was about to get fired. Until , she found out a way to keep seeing him and cover the situation up. I was confused for the for them most part but then she said "I introduced him to my daughter, Mehlani". I said "Wait, so you were seeing..? "She said" Yes I was having My mother was having a relationship with Jordan too. Mehlani was a people pleaser so it made since that she would date whomever our mother told her to. She continued and said "But Jordan started to forget who he belonged to. When he started sleeping with you, He told me he wanted nothing to do with me or Mehlani anymore. He wanted to be with you and only you". She began to laugh again like she had just heard a joke. I couldn't believe it. He really did want to be with me? The same feeling I had started to take over my whole stomach this time and I vomited all over the floor. I could still hear her laughter but my head was spinning. I began to sob I had framed the love of my life for attempted murder. She stood up wiped my tears and said "Why are you crying dear?". I screamed out loud snd said "I FRAMED HIM FOR MURDER MOTHER. HE ACTUALLY LOVED ME AND I FRAMED HIM FOR MURDER". She kneeled down to where she could look directly in my eyes and said "No you didn't , princess. We did". Earlier, today I told your sister to come home at exactly 7:45 that would give you time to get home first. Did I mention I had already put roofies in the drink ? I had no idea you would add more but I'm so happy that you did it. She said; "So , see baby I had a helping hand in this also and we have to go clean it up". She walked towards me and stood beside me for an awkward moment. Next, she grabbed my head and slammed it against the kitchen corner. Instantly, my nose began to bleed and I was confused. She said; "And don't ever hold a damn knife to my throat again or I'll kill you myself. Now get your shit together and let's take a visit to the hospital, princess". I picked my head up and wiped the blood off that was dripping from my nose onto my face. My mother was a psychopath and when I looked into her eyes it's like she had no soul. She was the devil and I was just as bad as her. I was a demon. I slowly got out of my chair and walked to the car with her. She started to drive towards the hospital. Once, we got there she smiled at me and got out of the car. I followed behind her onto the elevator. She pressed the number four and we started to move. The elevator came to a stop and we got off. I stopped for a moment I had that same bad feeling in my stomach. We came to a door and my mother  ordered me to walk in quickly and close the door. Mehlani was laying in the bed hooked up to multiple machines. One of them looked like it was breathing for him. I stood on one side of her bed and my mother on the other. I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. What had I done? And to my own flesh and blood. My twin. My mother definitely wasn't the only psychopath. I wiped some tears off my face and my mother said; "This machine is the only thing keeping your sister alive but it's also the only thing keeping you from being free. If Mehlani wakes up and tells the police everything. You can unplug the machine or you can go to prison it's your choice, princess."I walked towards the plug in the wall and put my hand on the cord. Prison? there was no way I could go to prison. I knew exactly what I had to save my life and keep myself out of prison. I had to take Meilani's life.
