Present day
“I can't keep running from my past. It's the samething over and over, no
matter where I go. I have to find Lylot and apologize.I have to return to my
hometown. I need to stand up to them to protect mysister.” Those are thoughts
in my head overlapping. I just thought I was finallydone with it ALL. But now I
remember why I hated home in the first place. My ownparents abandoned me, I
never had any real friends, I’ve been made fun offor having W3D forever, and
the only friends that I had.. I killed them. “I killedthem,” I whispered to myself
while sobbing. “Lylot, Vail. I'm sorry. I just wantedto protect my sister. I never
meant for anyone to get hurt.” I yell as if they'relistening. Mom walks in. She
looks genuinely worried. “Are you okay, we heard youin the next room.” What I
want to say is disrespectful so I say, “Nothing, it’sjust I really appreciate you guys
for taking us in. I really do, I know I don't sayit often but, I love you.” She looks
really worried now. So, I laugh. Key comes in andasks to lay with me tonight.
Mom leaves and says she loves us. “Why are you sad,Big Sister? I don’t like it
when you cry.” I sat up. “Do you remember Vail andLylot? And what happened to
them?” “Yes, I remember Vail. I do not remember Lylotat all.” She said, “Well, we
are adopted and those were the people we were withbefore our adoption. And
they're both dead now.” I say. “That's why you werecrying?” Key inquires. I can't
tell her that I killed them so, “Yeah, I just missthem. But we can talk about it
tomorrow, goodnight.”
