Warning: attempted suicide

"I can't let you go through with this." Lizzie frowns as she follows her sister into the school.

"You need to stop. Dana and Connor denied it and I believe them." Josie says which makes Lizzie scoff.

"Why would you believe them over me?" She asks, hurt as she tries to keep up with her sister.

"Because you always do this. Anytime things are going well for me, you have an episode, and you ruin everything just to steal the spotlight." Josie snaps. Lizzie covers up her hurt. "I mean honestly, Lizzie, if I believed every paranoid delusion that came out of your mouth, I'd be just as crazy as you."

"Jo..." Lizzie trails off softly, hurt lacing when voice and face as she steps in front of Josie.

"Look, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I have spent my entire life trying to make you feel okay about yourself, watched Dad kill himself trying to do it too. And why do you think he drinks all the time? He hates his job. The only reason why he works here is to keep an eye on you. Mom makes any excuse to that she can to be out of town, because seeing him like this makes her sad, because he's completely given up. So I am done making excuses for you. I am a done worrying about when you are going snap. And I am done letting you control my happiness! I love Connor, and tonight I'm going to show him just how much. Now, give me the watch!" Josie's words cut straight through Lizzie's broken heart and the blonde feels herself giving up.

"I'm sorry. It's for your own good." Lizzie whispers as she siphons all the magie away from the watch.

"I hate you." Josie says coldly, looking at her sister with such hatred before walking away.

"Josie... no. Wait. Pleas just... wait. Stop!" Lizzie screams, the lights exploding around her and all the students in the hallway cower down.

When they stand up, they start to record and take photos of Lizzie who is crying. Josie stares at her sister in shock, her sister proving her words from earlier.

"What the hell?!" Alaric exclaims as he rushes into the hallway. "We've got to go." He mumbles and pulls Josie with him.

Lizzie sobs and rushes out of the school, sprinting past the fancy car that pulls up and away from her family.

"Lizzie!" Alaric shouts but Lizzie just keeps running.

"Let her go." Josie snarls, glaring at her sisters retreating form. "We're better off without her."

Lizzie sobs, screaming through her pain as she collapses onto her bedroom floor. Josie hates her. She makes her dad sad. Her mom doesn't want to be around her. Everyone hates her at school. What the hell has she got to stick around for? She got a text from her Dad saying they are at the Mikaelson boarding school and they don't
know when they'll be back. No, how are you? Or, are you okay? She really is just a tease of space in everyone's lives.

She's been feeling like this all her life, like she's the odd one out. The black sheep of her family. The twin that wasn't supposed to be born. She's suffered with meant last issues most of her life, depression, anxiety, trust issues, self hate. Sometimes it gets the best of her and she has to do something to relieve herself of the pain, so
she cuts. Only in places where people can't see, like her thighs and stomach. She thinks about taking her own life a lot, but she never did because she didn't want to hurt Josie, but it's quite clear that her sister doesn't want her around.

If you have nothing, what's the point in staying around?

Lizzie pushes herself up about an hour later after fighting with herself, but she didn't win. She grabs a piece of and writes a simple,
