Beth•••
"Where were you last night?"
I scoffed before spitting out coldly, "none of your business"
Becca threw her hands up in the air. "It IS my business" she came closer trying to touch me, but I just side stepped her. Her blue eyes turned glassy in seconds. "Y-you're my twin sister, I care about you"
"Care?...well Becca you should have thought about that last night" I turned to the stairs &"and no" I tilted my head to look her square in the eyes "we're not sisters"
"What are you saying?"she cried.
"I don't know you anymore. And I'm not sure that I...want to know you"
"Becca who's tha—oh my God Beth!!" mom appeared at the kitchen's door and squeezed me into a tight hug. "Where were you last night baby?"
"I asked her the same thing, apparently I'm not good enough to get an answer" Becca said.
"Shut your trap!" I told her.
"See mom that's your precious daughter. She's back with her bipolar shit. And guess who doesn't give an actual fuck right now?" her eyes flickered between mom and I "that's right! Me"
I walked to her and did what felt right.
SLAP!!!
I slapped her. Leaving a red imprint on her face. "I should have done that a long time ago. And for your information you stupid bitch, I'm D.I.D not bipolar which you would know if you weren't so dumb"
"What did you call me?"
"What you heard. I can't believe that after everything I did for you, you still treat me this way"
"You deserve it" Becca screamed catching me and mom off guard that we took steps back. "You fucking deserve it. You stole the spotlight from me. No one looks at me anymore. Its always "did you see the other Miller twin? She's so hot". That used to be me. Now you are the popular one. Congrats"
I looked at the thing that I'm unfortunate to be related with and laughed. A pure mocking laugh, laced with anger.
"Is that your problem Rebecca? Being in the spotlight? The center of attraction? T-the reason heads are turned? Wake up bitch" I landed another slap to her face to wake her up
...or maybe cause my hands were itchy.
...fine it feels nice to slap her okay?
"It's only been one day, a-and w-whose attention did I steal from you? Is it Lincoln? The guy you dated for two years behind my back? Or Rory? the idiot you banged last month?" her face paled at this. I snickered, "oh yes I know. When he tried to kiss me at that party at Greg's house and insisted that we get back inside, it wasn't hard to put two and two together. You're a fucking hypocrite. And a spotlight can't be stolen if the person truly shines from within" I paused to take a huge breath.
That's the most I had ever spoken at once. I resumed my journey to my room. At the top of the stairs I said softly, "I wish you weren't my sister. I wish you were dead, but look where we is"
I knew that they heard from the sharp intake of breath and gasp that the wind carried into my ears. So for more effect i slammed my door shut a little harder than necessary.
I fell with my back on my bed and put an arm on my face, so my nose was digging into the crook of my elbow.
How did we end up like this you ask?
Well let's have a little recap from last night when I met my other personalities.
*Flashback*
Where am I?
Why is there so much darkness?
"Beth are you okay?" I heard mom ask and I looked up.
"Yes I'm fine" I said.
But I heard something else come out of my lips. "Hello mom"
Is that-isn't that the judgy voice i always hear?
What's going on?
I flinched in shock when I felt a hand slip into mine. I whirled around to see a girl who looked just like me, from hair to toe. We were even wearing the same robe.
There was a difference though. Her eyes. They were red. Like Bella in Twilight...when she became a vampire, that kinda red.
"Hi" she said. Her voice a little deeper than mine. She stretched a palm forward. "I'm Athena"
I blinded at her. Shaking her hand I whispered, "I'm Lisbeth but most people call me—"
"Beth" she cut me off "I know"
"W-wh-who a-are y-you?"
At this she smiled. "I'm one of your personalities"
"What?" I eyed her wearily and wouldve taken a step back if she wasn't holding my hand.
"Tsk, I can't explain but Lis can" she walked away, so I turned to follow her. But she waved me away, "go sit, I'm coming"
I looked behind me only to see a sofa just like the one in my living room. How did—where did this come from? It wasn't here earlier.
"Athena did you—oh" I saw no one there. Just where did she go?
Shrugging, I made myself comfortable on the couch. I looked around but there was no soul in sight.
"Lis?" I heard mom ask. Did she know this Lis person? "How is this possible?" she sounded amazed or doubtful...I can't tell since I can't see her facial expression. I could only hear them.
"You know the answer to that, don't you mother?" I heard myself or rather this Lis person say. I would never say "mother" like that.
"I see you've made yourself comfy" I heard Athena say before I saw her fiery eyes then her whole body.
Smiling, I nodded. "What is this place?"
She looked around. "Your mind"
My what?
I thought my mind mind would be like white....'cause I'm pure and all that. But this place—there's just darkness all around.
Athena snickered then put one finger on her quivering lips.
"What did you mean when you said you were one of my personalities?" I asked.
She sat down beside me. "I told you. I don't know how to explain it. Lis will"
"Who is this Lis person?"
"Another personality" she deadpanned. "She's the one out there right now"
"How many do I have?"
She tilted her head backwards and let out a groan that sounded like a dying cow. Her eyes opened and she looked at me narrowing her eyes a little.
"Maybe I forgot to tell you but I can hear your thoughts. We all can"
"We?" Can't believe I was caught.
"Yes"
"..." Wahhhhhh?
"Use your mouth dummy" she mumbled.
"So...how many personalities do I have? Just curious"
"Curiousity killed the cat" she said dryly.
"Well I'm human" I said in a duh voice.
Rolling her eyes she lifted four fingers.
"Four?"
Oh my God.
