Dead and Gone: No, Not Really Chapter 10
That was the worst fight Yvonne had ever had with our parents.All of them blamed each other, recounting every single instance in which each of them had hurt me.When shit really hit the fan, family ties meant nothing.All of a sudden, I did not feel upset any longer.I was just tired.It turned out that all I had wished for meant nothing in the end.…Yvonne left Mom and Dad and moved in with Xavier.She loved Xavier a lot. He was kind, gentle, and handsome. People always looked at her in envy when they saw her with him.However, Xavier had changed. He was the complete opposite now. He often came home late and smelled strongly of alcohol.Yvonne admonished him for it, but instead of acting meek like he used to, he slapped her. Almost immediately after that, he snapped back to his senses and apologized to her on his knees.Things got worse as time went on.He began bringing home other women with no regard to Yvonne's presence. He beat her and cut her off from outside contac

All of a sudden, I was the center of attention.Everything they did was about me now.They redecorated my room with new bedsheets and cleaned my doll. My room was spotless now.The little dark room was no more as well. My parents put up a light in the room.Everything I had wished for in my childhood had come true.The little dark room was bright now.Yvonne, on the other hand, started to become unstable.She often stared at my photograph on the fireplace mantle hatefully.I knew that she was losing her mind. She had always hated it when someone else stole the spotlight from her.She began to fall off her wheelchair and get hurt on purpose. It was then that I realized that Yvonne was probably mentally ill too.Finally, Yvonne lost her temper when Mom took out my old things again.She swept everything onto the ground."Stop thinking about her, Mom," she begged, tugging on Mom's sleeve. Her tone was pleading, but her eyes were threatening.She'd used this tactic a lot of tim

If I was good, Mom would smile at me like she would smile at Yvonne.I envied Yvonne. She was the princess of the family.Out of guilt, Dad always satisfied her requests, even if her requests would hurt me.I used to wish that I was the one who had broken legs. Yvonne hated me for the same thing: she thought that I was the one who had caused her to lose her ability to walk.My parents stared intently at the surveillance footage.I felt uncomfortable looking at a living, breathing me.In the footage, I looked fast asleep.I was curled up in a ball, nervous even in sleep.All of a sudden, I began convulsing. My facial expressions were twisted, and my eyes were unfocused. Mindlessly, I kept hitting my head against the wall.Just as I escaped the room, I glanced at the surveillance camera, as if I was saying goodbye.Mom burst into tears and buried her face in Dad's chest, covering her eyes with her hands. Tears dripped from between her fingers. "Was Yvette really sick? How did t

Mom never asked for my consent before signing me up for a competition.She never asked for my consent before giving birth to me.Instead of anger, Mom went silent after my outburst.For a short period after that, Mom would ask for my opinion on everything she did.I had won.Sometimes I felt like she loved me and hated me at the same time.Me, I hated them. I hated them because they couldn't decide on just one. They always gave me hope before destroying it.Later, I heard Mom telling Dad that she relented only because she didn't want me to revolt and lose focus on the competition. "She's so useless. She ended up not getting to the finals anyway."I had cried secretly under my blankets for the entire night after hearing that.Mom never asked for my opinion again since then.Therefore, it was very surprising that she remembered that fact so suddenly.She took off her apron. "I'll go check on her."When she opened the door, all she saw was an empty room.As I expected, she

I suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.Then, the girl's mother looked around. When she found that no one was around, she picked up the little girl and ran.As she drew her distance away from me, I heard her telling the girl not to do such dangerous things again.She never gave me a single glance.I lay on the ground, feeling the life drain away from my body.Several people passed by. They shook their heads and sighed. I heard the clicking of camera shutters, but no one called the ambulance.My blood drained dry. My body became cold.Finally, Yvette Skye was no more.I died all alone at the corner of the street. No one cared.My corpse was not a pretty sight. My eyes were wide, unseeing, and there was a large hole in my stomach. My legs were twisted together. One of my arms was flung by the side of the road.My legs were useless now.I was ugly. No wonder the little girl cried.Floating in the air, I stared at my mutilated corpse.It was morning when a street cleaner foun

"Yvette."Suddenly, a voice pulled me back to my senses.Xavier had found me.I snapped back to reality at once. "I wasn't…""I know," he said.He brought me to a hotel. He held me, his expression filled with sympathy. "I know. I know. Shh."His kisses were heated as they trailed down from my eyes and to my mouth, enveloping my trembling tongue.He gently forced my mouth open. "It's okay. I'm here."I fell asleep in his arms.The next day, I woke up to Yvonne's screaming.Mom had placed a tracker in my phone.Before this, I always left my phone in my dormitory, but I hadn't had the chance to think about it this time.Mom pulled the blankets off me and pinched me so hard that I was bruised. "You are shameless! Why did I give birth to you!"Could someone save me?I turned to look at Xavier.His attitude had completely changed overnight. His torso was naked as he knelt before Yvonne, saying that I was the one who seduced him.According to him, he had found me on the street

I was not talented in dancing, so I had to do extra practice to get Mom's approval."You're not as good as your sister," was something she would say every time I fell.In order to practice dancing, I lost my playtime and my freedom. I wasn't even allowed to close the door to my bedroom.All this was fine as long as Mom was happy.…I returned to my daily life of school and dance.Every time I fell, I would get back up again.Yvonne pointed at me and laughed. "I knew she was good at acting. Look, she's perfectly fine now."Only I knew what happened in the dead of the night.I would cry alone in my bed. I wanted to cut my wrist, but I told myself not to be so stupid and childish.So, I did not use a knife. I used a compass.I cut myself lightly multiple times.It didn't hurt. Sometimes, the wound would bleed, and I would feel relaxed.I knew that this wasn't right, but I couldn't control myself.If only I could die. Death would set me free.My twisted thoughts filled my

Suddenly, the door opened. Mom came in.I tried to take her hand, opening my mouth, but nothing came out.Mom, I'm not feeling good.However, Mom just looked at me coldly and threw her phone onto the bedside table.A video was playing on the screen.It showed what had happened before I passed out.At the start, I was curled up quietly in a corner. Then, abruptly, I began beating against the walls with my fists, pounding so hard that my hands began bleeding. The blood dripped down my arms and onto the ground.When Mom entered the room, I was slapping myself hard. My arms were covered in bite marks."I don't know what happened," I said, scared, as I stared at the screen. I had no memory of this happening.What should I do? I looked at Mom pleadingly.Mom snorted coldly. "So, you're fine now that you're in the hospital? Yvonne was right. You were just acting." She picked up the bag from the table. "Yvonne is craving a shrimp cocktail."All of them left.I was left alone in the

Mom came back to her senses first. She pulled me away. "How dare you, Yvette Skye? You wouldn't be here if it weren't for your sister!"Both of them looked at me with hate and disbelief in their eyes. They did not seem to think that anything was wrong with the way they were treating me.I lowered my hand to my sides tiredly.Mom was right.My birth was a mistake from the start, especially where Yvonne was concerned.When Yvonne was born, Mom had high hopes for her. She wanted her to become a dancer, as it was her own unrealized dream.Yvonne hadn't disappointed her. She was talented at dancing. Even her teacher said that she would be able to become a world-class dancer if she continued working hard.Mom had been ecstatic at the time. She had brought Yvonne out to buy her some new clothes. It was then that tragedy struck; a car lost control and barrelled toward Mom. It was Yvonne who had pushed her away and saved her life, sacrificing herself in return. She collapsed in a pool

Chapter 1
I walked out of the hospital in silence, holding a psychometric evaluation report.I had been diagnosed with depression.The doctor tried his best to comfort me, saying, "Even though you have severe depression, you'll be fine as long as you keep up with therapy."I nodded, staring at my feet.My mother's anxious expression appeared in my mind's eye. She never liked mentally ill people like me."You've been neglecting your mental health for too long, so I recommend getting help from your family."Even as the doctor spoke, he seemed to sense my aversion to the suggestion.I hid the report away and returned home quietly.Mom was cooking in the kitchen. She frowned when she saw me. "Your teacher called and said that you did not attend your dance class today. What happened?"I did not answer her question. Instead, I said softly, "Mom."Then, I tried to hug her, but she pushed me away and began scolding me. She admonished me for everything I'd ever done, from the time I gave up o...
