Troublemaker

17. SELF-LOATHING

Maybe it was something most people wanted out of other people: their own want. If there was a way, there was a plan, and everyone would tend to have done it. Yet sometimes, the people they had a plan to, are far more cunning and sly than anyone ever thought. But that person, it's either they stab you in front, or stab you behind. A bullet from the front is something you can dodge, but a bullet from behind, you need an extra pair of eyes to dodge it.

"You used her as your weapon?" she asked again.

"Yes, Jayce, how many times do I have to say that?" Amber stood up as well, annoyed, "You always outshone me, people treated you better, people loved you better, mother preferred you and dad took so much attention on you, and they barely look at me, who's obviously better in every way,"

"You're doing this just because Eric dumped you?" she asked, "Because a boy dumped you, because a boy used you? Wake up, Amber, you deserve better than Eric, and he said so too.

"We haven't even dated, Jayce, and who made him do that in the first place?" Amber yelled, "You're getting on my damn nerves every time,"

Sisters? Not. Ashton was listening to family drama.

"In the old school, nobody liked me. Nobody freaking confessed to me," she replied.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I was the only who was trying to keep your reputation together, and I was far more busy trying to find someone to date you," Jayce stated, putting emphasis in every word, "Every single time, someone confessed to me, I asked them what they thought about you because I never wanted to date anyone who hated my sister. I did all that despite you nearly killing someone as a joke and body-shaming other students in the class, because you were my sister and because I freaking cared for you,"

"I WANTED TO CHANGE WHEN I CAME HERE," Amber yelled back.

"I DON'T SEE ANY DAMN CHANGE, AMBER," Jayce shouted in return.

"You know, now I see why Jasmine dumped you. You're the reason she cheated on you, your petty little acts and your attitude, she hated you for it. While me, no one will ever cheat on me when I get into a relationship because I know that I'm worth it, and I have whatever it takes to keep a relationship to myself," the younger twin stated.

Jayce just scoffed silently, clicking her tongue.

"You wanna know why? Because I'm better than you in beauty, attitude, and I'm perfect, unlike you, who can't even just forget you've been abused and move on from the past, and who can't keep your partner to yourself and let her slip away, and why? Because you're boring, and you're a crybaby who is selfish,"

Ashton's ears reddened at the fact that he wanted to shove pesticide into Amber's mouth. While Nadia, on the other hand, stood in shock.

But his ears rang when a huge sound of a strike came in.

Jayce had slapped Amber hard enough that she was on the ground and her cheek was red. Ashton stood up from behind the tree, seeing the mess.

"I don't know what age you live in," Jayce started, "But everyone damn knows it's wrong to blame the partner who didn't cheat and who did absolutely nothing for their partner's doings,"

"You just hit me?" Amber pursed her lips in shock.

"What does it look like?" she replied.

Amber touched her cheek, "I-"

"You deserved it, get over it and move on," Ashton sneered, talking with the words she said to Jayce.

"Would you want me to die?" Amber asked, in a sad manner.
