We stayed at Aunt Helen’s house while we figured out the divorce thing. It all ended up that my mom got me, and my dad got Sarah and the house. So my mom and I bought a new house near my school. It was the same school so I got to keep my friends. 4 days later, the whole world finds out that my parents got divorced. Rumors kept going on and on. Ones about me causing the fight or me making my mom run away. Two weeks later, when I was coming home from a long day at school, my mom came up to my room with tears coming down her face again.
She knocks on the door. “Samantha?”
“Yes! Come in!” I replied smiling as I said this. School had been good that day. The rumors about me had died down.
My smile disappears when I see my mom open the door, tears running down her face. My eyes get bug and i ask “What wrong?” She took a few moments before answering my question.
“I was just on the phone with your father..”
This was a surprise for me, my mother has never called my father and vice versa.
“What did he say?”
Instead of responding she walks over and sits on my bed. She folded her hands and put them on her lap.
“Well...he told me something that will affect both of us!” She says all of this while still crying. We sit in silence for another few moments. She takes a deep breath before saying “Sarah had just committed suicide. She was cooking dinner when she stabbed herself with a knife!” My mom started breaking down even more. I didn’t want to cry but knowing my sister, my role model I wanted to cry more than I ever have.
The one person that I told everything to.
The one that gave me good advice to help me through middle school.
I couldn’t help but cry so hard, that I turn over to hide my face from my mother. My mom lays down on her stomach with me, crying. She starts rubbing my back. We both were so tired from crying that we fell asleep.
The next day I went to school still devastated by the news to find out that the whole school found out. I don’t know how but they just knew. During lunch, a group of people that used to be my friends starts kicking and hitting me. Calling me names and that I made my sister kill herself. That night I didn’t come out of my room.
I didn’t do my homework. I just cried and cried. I went on my phone and read all the rumors that were written.
“She may have a good singing voice, but she hasn't got a good personality! I mean she made her sister kill herself “I think she should kill herself just like her sister!”
Before all this happened I was a famous singer on InsantCam. I had about 10K fans on it! Everyone always recognized me because of my mismatched colored eyes. My right eye was green and my left was blue. I never knew where I got my eyes from, but I did know where all my popularity came from. It had all started with one little video that I made for my mother on mother’s day. That was till the rumors started. Then people started turning from fans to haters in a snap. My boyfriend broke up with me after he heard the rumors too. Turns out he only dated me for attention. I knew my mother knew about the hateful comments but she tried to hide them away from me. Trying to make me not be on my phone so much, or talking about it. She knew it was hurting me, a lot. She then found out that I was teased and bullied at school and she made us move to a new house in a new state with a new school. I then cut my hair and changed my looks. I used to wear t-shirts tucked into my jeans but now I wear oversized sweatshirts just like Sarah.
