Report
My sister abruptly returns to the country on the day of my wedding. My parents, brother, and fiancé abandon me to pick her up at the airport. She shares a photo of them on her social media, bragging about how she's so loved. Meanwhile, all the calls I make are rejected. My fiancé is the only one who answers, but all he tells me is not to kick up a fuss. We can always have our wedding some other day. They turn me into a laughingstock on the day I've looked forward to all my life. Everyone points at me and laughs in my face. I calmly deal with everything before writing a new number in my journal—99. This is their 99th time disappointing me; I won't wish for them to love me anymore. I fill in a request to study abroad and pack my luggage. They think I've learned to be obedient, but I'm actually about to leave forever.

"Just because you apologized, does that mean I must accept it?" I countered, leaving Adrian at a loss for words. We were in front of my dorm, with many students passing by. Even though most of them couldn't understand us, that didn't stop them from watching the drama unfold. I had never liked being the center of attention. At that moment, I was truly angry and voiced out everything that I had been keeping inside. "You keep saying that you’re making up for the love you owe me by pouring it into Nina. But why? I was the one who was wronged, yet she's the one who benefited!"At home, you always complained that I was too noisy, that I fought with Nina, and that I had a bad temper. But did you ever think that if I didn't make a fuss, no one would have even noticed me?"I had been happier at Grandpa's place than at yours. Now that I've left and put some distance between us, can't we all just go our separate ways in peace?"Mom was already in tears. "Sadie, you're our daughter! We're

I thought my rejection that day was clear enough, but one day, as I left the lab after finishing an experiment, I saw a group of people I had no desire to see standing outside my apartment building. It was Mom, Dad, Adrian, and Brandon. The moment they saw me, they all looked somewhat emotional. "Sadie, you're finally back!"Adrian was about to step forward when Brandon shoved past him and stood right in front of me. "Sadie, it's been a while."He looked haggard, and his eyes were red. It looked like he hadn't rested in a long while. If this had happened in the past, I might have pitied him. But now, I was just annoyed. "We broke up. Why are you here?"Brandon's eyes reddened even more. "I never agreed to break up! We just fought.""I don't need your permission to break up," I said calmly.I then turned to my family, who were standing to the side helplessly. "I heard what you said that day."Mom, Dad, and Adrian instantly paled, and Brandon's eyes widened as if he real

The other end of the phone fell into a dead silence after Brandon heard what I said. Just as I was about to hang up, I heard Brandon laugh. He sounded confident, like he had me all figured out."Sadie, are you sure? You've spent so much time preparing for our wedding. How could you possibly want to break this off?""So you do know I spent a lot of time preparing for our wedding," I sighed. Brandon seemed to think I was still just throwing a tantrum and said helplessly, "Come on, stop playing. I already told you I'll make it up to you. Playing hard to get won't work on me."I had no patience left to explain anything to him. It sounded like Adrian was arguing with him in the background, so I ended the call. After some thought, I blocked everyone in my family, including Brandon. That night, I slept soundly and even had a dream. In my dream, a young girl wearing different clothes from those of her older brother and younger sister was writing in her brand-new diary. Holding her

This time, no one stopped me from leaving. "Why aren't you making a fuss this time?" Adrian asked before I left, but I didn't even take it to heart. Once I arrived back at campus, I switched my phone to airplane mode and locked myself away in the lab for 13 whole days. It wasn't until the day before I was to leave the country that I finally finished my experiment and stepped out of the lab. The moment I turned my phone back on, a flood of notifications from various people poured in. I had received messages from my family, Brandon, and several of my friends. I opened my friend's messages first. She must have been very angry because I had nearly 80 texts from her, all of them cursing out Brandon and Nina. I glanced at a photo she had sent. It was a screenshot of a family picture Nina had posted on social media.My parents, Adrian, Nina, and even Brandon were all in it. Brandon stood right next to Nina, gazing at her lovingly. He looked like her knight in shining armor. Nin

Mom had assumed I was already asleep because the lights in my room were off. She was probably wondering how much of their conversation I had overheard. Ignoring the faint throbbing pain in my heart, I walked straight past her. "There's something I need to take care of at school, so I'm heading back."Seeing that I wasn't behaving strangely, Mom and Dad exchanged glances before finally relaxing. When Adrian noticed the suitcase by my side, he frowned. "Why do you need to take your luggage with you? Are you trying to run away because you're worried we'll hold you accountable for what you did to Nina?" At the mention of that, my parents, who had just been feeling a little guilty, straightened their backs and stared down at me. "That's right! I almost forgot about that!""Sadie, do you realize you put Nina in the hospital? You won't even apologize, and now you're trying to leave? Do you think you can just walk away from this?"I was irritated as I took in their furious expres

I packed my few belongings into my suitcase. I had originally requested time off school for my wedding, but that wasn't needed now. I was just about to call my professor to let him know I was returning to the lab tomorrow when my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Brandon. I assumed he was calling to figure out what to do about the wedding. I never imagined he would lash out at me the moment I answered. "Sadie, what did you do to Nina? Why is she hospitalized?"This was a man who was usually calm and poised, yet he had lost his composure twice in the same day. The first was when he heard Nina was returning to the country; this was the second.The funniest part was that he was supposed to be my fiancé. "She had an allergic reaction.""It was your fault, wasn't it? How could you do that to your own sister?" Brandon sounded very angry. "Sadie, I always thought you had a kind heart. I can't believe you put Nina in the hospital for something so trivial. Are you even human?"

Mom, Dad, and Adrian immediately rushed to Nina's side. When they saw the rash on her skin, they panicked. "Are you having an allergic reaction? Why would you suddenly be having an allergic reaction?" Mom looked around until finally, her gaze locked onto me. The next second, she slapped me so hard that I lost my balance and fell to the ground. My head buzzed from the impact. "Sadie, what did you put in the food? Don't you remember what your sister is allergic to?"Adrian looked disappointed too. "I was wondering why you were so agreeable. It turns out you were plotting to harm Nina after all! How did I end up with such a hateful sister like you?""That's enough! Stop arguing. We need to take Nina to the hospital right now!"Dad slammed the table in anger, and only then did Mom and Adrian retract their hateful stares from me. My entire family left in a rush, leaving me sitting on the floor in a daze as I clutched my swollen cheek. I didn't do it. I wanted to tell them that

As I placed the cooked shrimp on the dining table, I glanced toward the living room. The atmosphere there was warm and joyful. My father, Zachary Hoffman, who was usually so busy with work, suddenly didn't seem busy at all. He sat there, patiently listening to his youngest daughter as she recounted her exciting experiences abroad. My mother, Nancy Patton, held Nina in her arms, her eyes filled with affection, as she fussed over how much weight the latter had lost and how hard it must have been for her abroad.Adrian sat beside them, fully focused on shelling pecans for Nina. I didn't say a word. I just watched the heartwarming scene quietly. The living room and dining area felt like two separate worlds. One was filled with warmth and laughter, and the other with emptiness. "Sadie, why are you standing over there instead of joining us? Is it because you're still mad at me for ruining your wedding?" Nina suddenly said pitifully. It was only then that the people in the living

The door to my room was suddenly pushed open without warning. My brother, Adrian Hoffman, walked in and scoffed when he saw me staring blankly at my diary. "Aren't you a little too old to be writing a diary?"Normally, I would have argued back. But this time, I didn't even lift my head or respond. Seeing my lack of reaction, he grew irritated and ran his hand through his hair before snatching my diary to take a look. On it was a single number—99.It was the number of times they had let me down over the years. Adrian frowned, unable to make sense of it. He tossed my diary onto the floor and ordered, "Stop writing this nonsense. Nina wants to eat the garlic shrimp you make. Go wash your hands and get downstairs. Consider it an apology for that snarky remark you made to her earlier."I only hummed in response before I got up and headed downstairs. Adrian was surprised that I didn't throw a tantrum. After all, every time my family asked me to make garlic shrimp, I would alwa
