| have never felt so bad in my life.
To my “family”, | have always bullied Ava. | broke her stuff, and I said mean things to her. | did. | have broken her
stuff before, but mostly replaceable stuff like the pile of shit | threw out of the window today. And mostly because
she broke my things first, or that she broke them herself and blamed me.
| have never broken something this meaningful for anyone, especially Ava. Maybe it just doesn’t happen often
enough so that I'm feeling like sitting on a thousand needles?
Ava has been crying — fake crying - in front of her room while Alfred cleans it for a while now. | have been sitting
on the empty dinner table and waiting for her cry to turn into a real one, for a while.
| got really good at telling apart her real and fake cries — her nose gets stuffed when it’s real. That means she

heart pounding in my chest so loud that I think even he can hear
He lets out a light, surprised laugh.
“I thought this kind of sister's war happened like, every day?” He cocks his eyebrows, having his fun taunting
me.
I glare at him.
“Is that quilt | see in your eyes?” Sebastian looks carefully at my eyes as if doing accurate science, “You don’t
look like someone who does evil all the time...rookie.”
“Not as much as you do,” | retort back nastily, “and who's your source on that? Ava?”
Sebastian frowns lightly, and | turn to leave.
“Wait a minute,” Sebastian grabs my wrist, and | swing him off by instinct
“You have no right to touch me!” | know part of my anger is because I’m on edge now, but he asked for it.
“Ohh, | thought | have every right, MRS. Knight,” He stresses the word Mrs, smirking evilly as he reaches for my
wrist slowly, “You tore our divorce papers, remember?”

In his inner chest pocket are schina pieces! Ava’s doll!
“You ownnow,” He says, one word after another, keeping my hand over his chest as if making a vow,
