I stare dinto her eyes.
"What?" -
"Dad was protecting her... From this guy who she'd dated in the past. He was into drugs and... He was a criminal. Dad became friends with him to keep her safe. To keep all of us safe. Mom used Dad as a safety blanket. After Dad had it handled, she stopped, well, needing him... And..." I took a breath. "Oh, God, Randy... I was never supposed to tell everyone. I saw Mom sneaking in late at night when I was around 13... She was giggling and laughing, and she had one of those dresses on that people wear when they want to get laid. And a guy was pulling out of the driveway..." I shook my head. "She was cheating on Dad. Which is what spiraled him out of control and drove him insane..." I placed my fists over my eyes. Don't cry, damn it, Sam. "Because he loved her with all his f---ing heart, and she repaid him with disloyalty and betrayal. He sacrificed so much for her and she still did this to him." And just like that, I was done. Once I was talking a million words per second, and the next I was completely silent, staring at the family picture on the wall with the cracked glass frame. We were all smiling. If only I could smile now.

I gasped, lacking anything better to do. "But why? Why didn't you say anything? And Why would Mom do that?"
-
"I didn't say anything because I didn't understand. I didn't believe it." I glanced at my feet. "It felt stupid and wrong to tell anyone. It took me this long just to convince myself..." I sighed. "I don't know, Randy. But I do know that's what set Dad off. And I look so much like her... My voice is almost exactly the same, just a bit higher. Don't you see it? He wants me dead because to him, I'm just another reminder of a fairy tale gone horribly, horribly wrong."
-
"But... but it... it's not right! He can't... she couldn't have... No!" I shook my head. This was way too much for me to process at once. I was stuck in even more denial.
-
"He's going to kill me. Maybe I should just let him," I whispered under my breath, a single tear sliding off the bridge of my nose, making a small dark splatter against the light blue sofa. I got up and slowly made my way to my room, shutting the door softly behind me. I was like a ghost... No emotions, no expression. Just a vague shadow of the girl I used to be...

:3

I let my shoulders slide forward. I wasn't in the mood to stand or sit up tall. Just slouch into depression like Sam. I stood up and went over and knocked on her door.
-
I eyed the door, refusing to move from my spot on my bed. I crushed my face into my pillow, squinting my eyes shut. He's going to kill me... Maybe I should just let him. I grimaced. Or spare him the trouble.
-
I turned the knob slowly, trying not to have it click. "Sam... I'd... You..."
-
I mumbled something incoherent into my pillow, muffled by the plush my face was pressed in to.
-
"Listen, do want me to just... leave you alone for a while?" It absolutely was the worst idea I could've come up with, But I knew how sometimes; People just need space.
-
"Yeah." It was the stupidest thing he'd ever done, leaving me alone after I'd tried to commit suicide the other day. I'd use this alone time to... Take care some business I'd left unfinished. The pills were still in the bathroom. I had a bottle of water. I could dissolve them in water and slip away quietly... Yeah. That'll do it.
-
"I'll be in my room if you need me." But she doesn't know I'll be watching her.
-
:O STALKER. I GOT ME SOME PEPPER SPRAY... And I'm not afraid to... use it...? XD
I unscrewed the water bottle, taking a sip as I walked into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind me. I took a breath, then poured a handful of pills into the bottle, each making a quiet plunk when it hit the water. I closed the cap, shaking it vigorously for a few minutes. They were just about dissolved when I stepped back into my room.
