Callista Chase lay peacefully as I walked by. I wondered why it had been her. Why not me. She was everyone’s favorite and I had been in the same accident. All through the service I though about it. My mother always said I over thought simple situations. Once when I was seven someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I thought about it then answered it simply. I said I wanted to be a star. So I could be in the sky and have everyone look at me and love me. So I could feel loved. My mom laughed at me. The funeral was short. Or so it seemed to me. I don’t think it fully hit me that she was gone. Part of me was gone.

It was new years. We wanted to have some fun. So we invited Zeke and one of his friends over. This got a little rowdy and we left my house in a car. It wasn’t a serious crash. But enough to break Zeke’s wrist and cause the death of my twin sister. Callista Chase. The one everyone loved and adored or her charm, sweetness and looks. Her way with people was amazing and everyone loved her. That’s why I hated for her to be the one that was gone. Because she was everyone’s favorite and I was just there.

“ Alyssa….Alyssa” I shook myself from my thoughts and looked over at my mother.

“ Time to go dear” She said getting up and heading towards the churches door. She had never called me dear before. Maybe things were going to change since Lissy wasn’t here anymore.

“Coming Mother” I called to her walking to the door myself. When we got in the car a realized test things weren’t going to change.

“ Now what the hell do you think you were doing taking her out, or going out at all for that matter. No one gave you permission to go out with.. with Him.”

“ Mom..” I started trying to think of a clever way to defend myself this time.

“He has a name. And it isn’t Him.” Talking back was a big no-no but who the hell cares.

“ And I didn’t push her to do anything she walked out the door as freely as anyone else. And I am 17 years old I didn’t think I need your permission to go out with my sister.”

“ Don’t give me that shit. It is Your fault she is gone. No Buts about it.” The rest of the car ride was silent. I didn’t question anything. I knew that if i stayed in my room until school started up again she would cool down.

We pulled into our driveway. It was a cute little neighborhood that we lived it. Cute enough to hide the evil and hatred behind our door. We lived in a small town in Ohio. It was just Lissy, my mom and me. Now it was just me and my mother. My dad lived down south. I hadn’t heard from him at all since I started 10th grade, I’m in 11th now. When I got out of the car my mom had already stormed off into the house. Not to cause anymore trouble I went straight up to my room. Passing Callista’s on the way. I lay on my bed looking at my ceiling and cried. I wonder if my mom ever cried. I don’t think she does to be honest with you. I really don’t.
