“Fuck off,Alex,”Andres hissed.
Then things gotloud.
Slap! “How dare you fucking call me that!”Alice hissed.Shuffling. “Do you have any idea how much that hurts?? For my own twin brother to disrespect me like that?!”
More sounds… Banging and thudding. Yelling and cursing.
“Get off me!”
“Fuck you, you bitch!”
God, I wish I couldseewhat’s happening!
Iloathethe idea that I was lying in the next room,rottinglike a piece of trash while the woman I love was fighting those pricks. Rage is rising inside me again, regret and remorse so strong it’s burning up my throat like bile.
If I could revive that cunt just to kill him again, I would.
“And then it got really quiet,”Leo says.
“Shit, man… That was fucked up,”the friend says in my memories.
“Shut up. Whose side are you on??”Andres barked.“Gimme the bag of that other shit.”
“Wait… why??”the friend asked nervously.
“Just do it!”
I remember them stomping around, whispering back and forth. I didn’t hear it all… But there are flickers.
“… How much?”
“All of it…”
“Make it look like an overdose…”
“… blame that British fuckboy…”
My chest is caving in, blood rushing so loudly in my ears it’s drowning out the memories.
This can’t be right… There’s no fucking way.
They actually shot Alice up with drugs to give her an intentional overdose?? Why would her own brother do that to her??
“You heard him,”Leo says.“He was jealous. He’s probably always been jealous of her. That’s why he fucked you…”
“Thanks. That makes me feel so much better.” I rub my eyes hard.
Leo shrugs.“Hey, you’re the one who bent over for him.”
“Because he was hot! And an asshole. And I’m a goddamn chaos agent, you know this!” I bark, hating myself so deeply I could vomit. Again.
“But the good news isyoudidn’t kill her,”Leo declares, far too chipper for my liking.“So, you know… silver lining.”
I glower at him. “My girlfriend isdead!The only person I’ve ever truly loved… is fucking dead. And I let her killer fuck me…” I whimper, covering my head with my arms. “Fuck, I can’t believe I did it again… I’m going to jail.”
Curling up into a ball on the bed, I rock myself back and forth.
The memories are coming in clearer now… Now that my high has mostly dissipated and I’m stuck in the purgatory of real fucking life.
