They say I'm a traitor and maybe I am. All I know is that I did what I had to do. There was no other option.

I only had two options, either I go through with it and I die. Or I don't go through with it and we all die.

I couldn't let my sisters die. Not after all we have been through.

"Katie, I need you to let the other girls know not to stand by me. When it comes down to it. Walk away. I'm going to be okay. Save yourselves. Be selfish for once in your fucking lives and just worry about yourselves. You can't let them find the forget-me-nots. Do you understand?! Do what you have to do but don't let them find them!
