Have you made mistakes that follow you your entire life? Mistakes that followed you throughout your entire childhood or teenagers years and maybe even in your late 20s and thirties? My mistake was down to plain old stupidity. I was five when I first started to act out. Some people would say she's got middle child syndrome or she's being a kid but it was more than that. I was a failure. I didn't feel like every other five years old, I felt like I was some kind of alien trapped in a silly little girls body. Nor my mother or father truly understood my beholder and some believed that my mother's death had to do with the stress I caused her and so my father shipped me off which meant  no one knew who I was. It was as if my father was ashamed of me and to my siblings I was invisible and they probably just saw me as a figure of their imagination. I was one out of three triplets. Georgina and I were identical and Andrea was the fraternal one so to those who knew my family only presumed that those two were unidentical twins because my family did not want to be associated with a trouble maker. So when Georgina mysteriously  disappears and presumed dead, I was brought back to fill in her place. I was asked, no wait, I was demanded to pretend to be my "dead" sister, "it is only temporary" they said. Georgina was the opposite to me but I would have killed to breath fresh air again, to not be in a School where I was treated as a vile creature who everyone disliked so I went along with their sick and twisted fantasy.
