[COMPLETE] When Sasha Parker is sent to a boarding school eight hours away from home, it's for all the wrong reasons. Defending herself shouldn't have brought her to her ultimate ruin. But it did.
A punishment she felt she didn't deserve was accor...

I stepped towards my brother, the emotion running through me foreign at least when it came to him. I'd been mad with him on countless occasions yet this somehow managed to surpass all. I suspected it was because anger wasn't the only emotion taking charge of my body at the moment. There was a considerable amount of hurt, a dash of betrayal and a hint of annoyance.
Together, they stripped me bare of my selflessness for once and infused in me an eloquence in the field of selfishness.
"Of course. It's the only thing you think about right?" I asked him coldly. His glare wavered a bit, a frown momentarily gracing his features. It barely took over his face before it was gone without any trace of it whatsoever.
"What are you even going on about? I just saved your ass from getting hauled back to that boarding school and you're being a bitch about it?" I glared even more when he used the phrase that boarding school.
"Oh please! Let's not pretend all you cared about as you 'saved my ass'was my happiness and not your selfish gains!" Ryan butted in this time around. "Guys I think you should-"
"No!" I growled and he clamped his mouth shut. I continued, "He needs to hear this! I'm tired of always putting you first only for you to never return the favor when I need it! All you think about is yourself! When I left for Lockwood High, you were horrible to me. I spent days, nights even, crying myself to sleep all because my self centered twin couldn't look past his pain and be there for me when I needed him the most!"
I saw guilt take over his face. I continued. "When mom and dad came over to the school and told me you needed me so badly back home, I never thought of letting you down although every cell in my body was yelling for me to do so! Because for me, you'd always come first. Above my happiness. Above everything else!"
He looked at me in accusation and asked bitterly. "And you think I wouldn't do same for you? You think I wouldn't put you above everything else?!" I smiled a rueful smile at him.
"I don't think Aiden. I know you wouldn't do same for me." It was impressive how fast the bitter expression was substituted for a pained one.
"Wow. All this while you thought that worst of me huh?"
"You pushed me to. All you had to do was ask if I was happy in the boarding school! All you had to do was ask whether I was happy being back here or not!" My voice was quivering. I didn't think I'd be able to hold the tears at bay for long.
"So you're not happy being here? Your home? You're not happy here with me?" Of course it was always about him. He didn't understand all what I was saying. More like didn't try to.
"No. I'm not. I was happy back at the boarding school." I replied honestly and watched as he sucked in a breath which was strained. He looked at me in disbelief and stumbled backwards. When he opened his mouth to speak, I barely recognized his voice.
