Short filmTranscript
00:07I had a notebook hidden in my drawer it only contained one number 99 the 99 times my family
00:19let me down on my wedding day my sister Sylvia Meyer
00:29suddenly flew back home my parents my brother Zachariah and even my fiance Eugene
00:37Anderson all abandoned me to go pick her up at the airport while she posted group
00:41selfies on Instagram showing off how adored she was I called them over and
00:47over yet every call was coldly declined the only one who picked up was Eugene he
00:52said just one thing stop overreacting we can always hold another wedding
01:00so at the wedding I had looked forward to for so long they made me the biggest joke
01:04of the day whispered about and ridiculed by everyone I calmly wrapped everything up on
01:12my own then wrote a new number in my diary 99 it was the 99th time they had
01:17disappointed me I no longer wished for their love I filled out my application to
01:23study abroad and packed my suitcase they all thought I had finally grown
01:29obedient but the truth was that I was preparing to leave the door to my room
01:33burst open Zachariah walked in and let out a mocking snort when he saw me staring
01:38at my diary seriously how old are you writing a diary like an elementary school kid
01:47normally I would have snapped back but this time I didn't even raise my head
01:56annoyed by my indifference Zachariah raked a hand through his hair grabbed the diary and flipped it open
02:03inside was only one number 99 the number of times they had let me down
02:12he couldn't understand it he frowned tossed the notebook onto the floor and ordered me
02:17enough with your nonsense still wants your garlic butter shrimp go wash your hands and get cooking
02:23and take it as your apology for that snarky comment you made earlier
02:27I simply said okay and headed downstairs
02:35he was stunned that I didn't throw a tantrum in the past whenever the family asked me to cook
02:41shrimp for Sylvia I would cry like I had suffered some great injustice
02:47why is she suddenly so quiet he thought
02:56Rebecca what's with you you're not up to something right you're not planning to put
03:01something in her food are you
03:04suspicion flickered in his eyes as he studied me
03:09when he noticed my slightly reddened eyes he paused and finally shut up
03:17after a long moment he spoke again
03:23Syl's been abroad for a year living on her own the whole time
03:27this is her first time back home
03:32of course we're eager to see her you should understand
03:38it's just a wedding we can throw you another one later
03:45I stayed silent while cleaning the shrimp right just a wedding in their eyes nothing
03:50would ever matter more than picking up Sylvia not even the wedding I had dreamed of four
03:54years they knew it had taken me months to secure that couture gown
04:04they knew I spent half a year planning every detail with the wedding team
04:09yet in the end they turned me into the biggest joke of the entire event my
04:15family never showed up Eugene never appeared while Sylvia flaunted her airport
04:21welcome party on Instagram I faced the guests ridicule and puzzled stares alone
04:29even the hotel staff noticed how pale I looked and pitying me urged me to go home and rest
04:38but when my family returned the first thing they did was ask me to cook
04:46a bitter smile tugged at my lips
04:50I had once thought that because my parents were getting older
04:53Sylvia was abroad Zachariah was busy and I was getting married
04:57I should decline my professor's offer to study overseas
05:01but now I knew leaving was the right choice unfortunately even with the
05:07application submitted I still had two weeks before I could depart I pushed past
05:12Zachariah move you're blocking the way my coldness made him feel like he had swung
05:19a fist only to hit empty air he sighed about to speak again but Sylvia's voice rang out from
05:26the living room Zach I can't open this chestnut
05:34Zachariah panicked instantly don't do it yourself you'll hurt your hands you're gonna be a pianist wait
05:39I'll help you that annoying buzzing finally left the kitchen I lowered my gaze to my hands my once
05:46slender fingers were now red and swollen from an allergic reaction when I set the plate of
05:51shrimps on the dining table I glanced toward the living room the atmosphere over there was warm and
05:56lively dad who was usually busy with business calls suddenly had all the time in the world
06:02he sat comfortably on the couch listening patiently while Sylvia talked about her fun
06:07experiences studying abroad mom held Sylvia in her arms fussing over her saying she looked thinner and
06:16must have suffered overseas Zachariah was sitting next to her focused on opening chestnuts for her
06:23I didn't say anything I just watched that cozy little scene quietly the living room and dining room
06:31felt like two completely different worlds one side was full of laughter and the other was utterly
06:37silent Becca why are you standing over there is it because I messed up your wedding are you still mad
06:44at me Sylvia's soft pitiful voice carried across the room only then did the three in the living room
06:50finally notice me dad frowned instinctively wipe that look off your face get over here mom's expression
07:01held a flash of irritation your wedding mess happened because you picked a bad date it had nothing to do
07:07with slive if you dare stay mad at her don't call me your mother Sylvia pouted dramatically and tugged on
07:15mom's
07:16sleeve mom don't say that you'll make Becca sad she sounded like she was defending me but the smugness
07:23in her eyes was impossible to hide I knew better that Sylvia was far from innocent a week ago I
07:30told
07:31her the wedding date myself she saw the message and even replied that she was preparing a surprise
07:38and she did give me one it was just not the kind anyone would want
07:45this forced choice between us was a game she had played since childhood
07:51every single time I was never the one my parents or Zachariah chose
07:58even Eugene who was supposed to spend his life with me didn't choose me I should have been heartbroken
08:05but maybe I had gone numb hearing their words now barely stirred anything inside me
08:11I'm not mad the moment I said that everyone stopped and stared at me it was impossible that
08:18I wasn't mad I caught the expressions on their faces and felt a wave of irony they knew what they
08:25did was infuriating yet they chose to do it anyway and then acted like my emotions were the problem
08:33my calmness made my parents and Zachariah uneasy after a moment of silence dad finally said
08:42good we're a family so stop taking everything so seriously yes I understand I nodded obediently
08:53seeing me act so unaffected they relaxed and turned back to fussing over Sylvia
09:00aside from the shrimp I made the table was covered in seafood dishes prepared by the housekeeper
09:06they were everything sylvia loved sylv you're so thin eat more dad and Zachariah's fork never stopped
09:16moving before long the food was piled high in her plate like a tiny mountain
09:24she beamed as she bragged to the family about her life overseas
09:29she claimed she had already secured a spot in an orchestra and would be performing with them soon
09:35my parents and Zachariah showered her with praise
09:39i quietly continued eating my rice my silence must have finally stirred some guilt in mom
09:45because she suddenly remembered i had been humiliated today
09:52a shrimp was placed on my plate i looked up mom's expression was a little stiff
10:00eat don't think we only care about sylv didn't i just give one to you too
10:05i stared at the shrimp for a long time then set my fork down no need i'm full
10:16mom looked embarrassed and a little irritated
10:22what's wrong with you now just as she was about to say more sylvia who was sitting beside her
10:28suddenly grabbed her throat her facial expression changed instantly
10:35mom i i can't breathe
10:39when my parents and Zachariah rushed to sylvia's side and saw the hive spreading across her skin
10:44they panicked
10:48she's having an allergic reaction
10:51how could this happen all of a sudden
10:55mom's gaze flicked around then landed on me
10:59the next second she slapped me with all her strength
11:06i staggered couldn't steady myself and fell to the floor my head buzzed
11:13rebecca what did you put in the food don't you remember what syve is allergic to
11:18zachariah looked at me with utter disappointment
11:20i knew it it was weird that you were acting so agreeable you were really planning to hurt syl
11:30rebecca how can i have such a vicious sister
11:35enough stop yelling
11:39take sylve to the hospital first
11:42dad slammed the table and only then did mom and zachariah tear their hateful glares away from me
11:48my whole family rushed out in a blind panic and i was the only one left sitting on the floor
11:53holding
11:54my swollen cheek in a daze it wasn't me i wanted to say it so badly
12:02but things like this had happened too many times and i knew they wouldn't believe me even if i said
12:07it
12:09so i would just forget about it
12:13one of the house staff came running over after hearing the commotion
12:17she tried to help me up but froze when she saw my hands
12:20miss rebecca what happened to your hands why are they so swollen i'm fine
12:28i rejected her help stood up on my own and went upstairs to my room
12:36i picked up the notebook on my desk as a flood of memories surged through me
12:40when i was eight our family had very little money all five of us squeezed into one old cramped house
12:51my parents were overwhelmed with work and couldn't take care of three kids at the same time
12:56they decided one of us needed to be sent to our grandparents in the countryside
13:01but zachariah was about to start high school at a critical time
13:04and sylvia was too young and frail for them to feel at ease sending her away
13:11i didn't want to see my parents looking so stressed so i lifted my hand and volunteered
13:18and just like that i was sent to the countryside
13:24before i left mom stroked my head and said i was the most sensible child
13:29but no one told me the price of being sensible was that i would stay there for eight whole years
13:35for eight years except for the new year i didn't see my parents zachariah or sylvia
13:44i watched their clothes get nicer every year and could guess that life at home had improved a lot
13:50i kept waiting for mom and dad to bring me home but i grew from an elementary schooler into a
13:56high
13:56schooler and even after my aging grandparents passed away they still hadn't come for me
14:04i only returned once there was no one left to take care of me the tiny rundown house in my
14:10memories
14:10was gone in its place stood a three-story villa
14:17the room they gave me was on the first floor corner it was nothing like zachariah's room filled
14:22with books and gaming gear nor like sylvia's room overflowing with girlish decorations
14:29it mirrored my place in this family never important enough to matter and always easy to overlook
14:37i packed the few belongings i had and stuffed them into my suitcase
14:43the wedding leave i had requested from my advisor rayden delian was useless now
14:50i was about to call him to say i would be back tomorrow when my phone suddenly rang
14:56it was eugene
15:00i thought he was calling about wedding follow-ups but the moment i picked up
15:04he started yelling rebecca what did you do to syl
15:10why is she in the hospital the man who was always calm and composed had lost it twice in one
15:17day
15:19the first time was when he heard sylvia was back in the country
15:23the second time was because she went to the hospital
15:28i found it funny considering he was supposed to be my fiance
15:35she had an allergic reaction so it was you wasn't it how could you do that to your own sister
15:43his voice was thick with anger rebecca i always thought you were a kind person
15:49but just because of something this small you sent syl to the hospital do you even have a conscience
15:56i listened to his accusations too tired to bother explaining
16:03yeah guess i don't it's my fault i'll apologize to her when she gets back
16:10are you happy now if you've said everything you needed to say i'm hanging up
16:15i have things to do
16:20eugene froze he clearly didn't expect this reaction
16:25before this we had fought countless times over sylvia
16:30on dates he would get lost in conversation with her
16:34at meals he would forget my food allergies but always order her favorites
16:40whenever i accused him of crossing lines he would respond with you're overthinking she's your sister
16:47i'm just looking after her for you
16:51his indifference made me look like some controlling jealous lunatic
16:56my parents and zachariah took his side every time saying i was too possessive
17:03so when sylvia left the country for a year i shamefully felt relieved
17:10but i had been starving for affection for so long that i forgot broken glass cuts
17:15i kept clutching those shards long after they should have been dropped and now all i was left with were
17:20bleeding hands
17:24rebecca you'd better mean what you said if anything happens to sile again you can forget about our wedding
17:33eugene's voice carried a clear threat
17:38i heard him get out of the car the door slamming shut and the noise around him suddenly growing louder
17:44i could tell he was going to the hospital probably rushing in to check on sylvia
17:50he was using my name as an excuse just so he could fuss over the woman he actually cared about
17:55did he really think i was stupid enough to fall for it
18:01i let out a dry laugh hung up and called raiden
18:07by the time my parents and zachariah finally dragged themselves home
18:11exhausted i had already finished packing and was ready to move into the dorms
18:18just in time to hear mom sigh
18:21if only gino's family were better off he and syl would make such a good match
18:28look at him he's so attentive
18:32my steps faltered then dad spoke
18:39yeah he's decent looking too i think self actually likes him
18:46if i had known earlier i wouldn't have arranged for eugene and rebecca to meet
18:55don't overthink it mom said i can't bear the thought of syl suffering with him better for eugene to be
19:02with rebecca
19:04they match each other
19:08besides
19:09syl is going to be a pianist
19:13even if he's her brother-in-law he can still spoil her
19:18she kept talking then lifted her head and saw me standing on the stairs
19:23she jolted back a couple of steps in panic
19:28rebecca
19:31what are you doing here mom must have assumed the lights were off because i was asleep
19:37who knew how much of their conversation i had heard
19:41i ignored the faint sting in my chest and walked right past her
19:47i have things to take care of at school i'm heading back
19:52seeing that i looked calm my parents exchanged a glance and finally relaxed
19:57zachariah frowned when he noticed the suitcase at my side
20:01you're taking luggage to school what are you afraid we'll accountable for sylv's allergy
20:06are you planning to run away
20:08the moment he brought it up my parents who had looked guilty just seconds earlier
20:13straightened their backs and towered over me with righteous indignation
20:17right we almost forgot rebecca do you realize sel ended up in the hospital because of you
20:25you won't apologize and now you want to walk away
20:33do you think you can get off that easily
20:38irritation crept up my spine when i saw they were worked up and clearly unwilling to back down
20:42i pulled out my phone dialed sylvia and put the call on speaker she was awake now
20:50at that moment she was basking in eugene's attentive care the moment she picked up her
20:56voice dripped with faux innocence becca why are you calling me
21:02did someone tell you gino is here taking care of me are you upset about that
21:09the moment sylvia's voice came through my parents and zachariah both froze they could hardly believe
21:14that such petty spiteful words were coming out of the mouth of the daughter and sister they adored
21:21i didn't care what they were thinking nor did i care about eugene hovering over her
21:25i said flatly hmm eugene's taking good care of you
21:32everyone listening was stunned
21:35sylvia too sounded confused becca are you serious of course i replied without hesitation
21:49i don't know what exactly triggered your allergy but i'll apologize anyway i'm sorry
21:59before anyone could react i hung up cleanly then looked at my family every one of them was dumbfounded
22:07can i go now i asked calmly this time no one even tried to stop me
22:15i didn't bother taking zachariah's snide remark why aren't you throwing a fit now to heart
22:22back at school i switched my phone to airplane mode and locked myself in the lab working non-stop for
22:2913
22:29straight days i didn't step out of the lab until the day before my departure when i finally finished my
22:38experiments the moment i turned my phone back on it exploded with notifications
22:48there were messages from everyone my family eugene and a flood of texts from my friends
22:56i opened my friend eleanor hamilton's conversation first she was furious she had sent 70 or 80 messages
23:05in a row all cursing out eugene and sylvia then she sent a screenshot from sylvia's instagram
23:15it was a family portrait my parents zachariah sylvia and even eugene were in the photo
23:22he was standing next to sylvia staring at her like a knight guarding his princess his eyes were soft and
23:30full of devotion sylvia's caption read with the people i love most the audacity nearly sent eleanor over
23:39the edge she ranted endlessly and even commented under the post your sister isn't even there it
23:48looks like your brother-in-law is taking good care of you i soothed her with a few replies before
23:55opening
23:55the rest of my messages without exception every message scolded me for letting eleanor bully poor
24:05sil
24:07i apologized one by one just as i was about to lock my phone zachariah called
24:15rebecca what the hell is going on why haven't we been able to reach you
24:20you have no idea how worried we have been the past few days
24:26right after he said that i heard sylvia's bright sugary voice in the background
24:32dad mom jenna look at this carousel it's so pretty
24:36so they were at an amusement park i asked softly worried
24:42that single word made zachariah choke up it took him a long time to respond
24:49well yeah we couldn't reach you if you were around you could have come too
24:59besides it's all your friend's fault sylva's sensitive she cried for hours after seeing that
25:04comment we had to bring her out to cheer her up i already apologized
25:08he went quiet again as if he had no idea what to say next after a long pause he muttered
25:16good you finally learned to behave the next second eugene snatched the phone
25:23his deep annoyed voice cut through the speaker rebecca did you tell your friend to leave that comment
25:29why is your mind always so dirty i've told you so many times that sylvia is your sister
25:36i'm only looking after her for you your whole family does that i know you're jealous because
25:40everyone likes sylve more but that's not her fault
25:47maybe you should think about why no one likes you
25:51my grip on the phone tightened when i heard him run his mouth like that
25:57when we first started dating i had told eugene about how my family treated me
26:03back then he held me and said he would always be on my side now he told me to reflect
26:10on why myself
26:16but i didn't feel sad a little over 10 days ago back at my parents place
26:23i finally learned the truth that eugene had never liked me
26:30he had just been playing a part and once the act landed he could stay by the woman he actually
26:37wanted protect her spoil her and never let go what i thought was fate had never been anything more
26:45than a script they rehearsed together sometimes i wanted to ask why but there was no point love that
26:58wasn't there was simply not there whether it was family or romance it didn't need a reason
27:04on the other end of the line eugene started stammering apologies clearly realizing he had gone too far
27:12it didn't matter anymore
27:17i glanced at the flight information my colleague had sent me and spoke calmly
27:28eugene
27:30let's break up i was done being someone's tool i was leaving hearing my words the other end of the
27:39call
27:39went dead silent just as i was about to hang up eugene suddenly laughed he was full of confidence
27:47like he had me completely figured out rebecca are you sure you spent so long preparing for that wedding
27:55there's no way you actually want to break up
28:00i sighed
28:03so you do know i spent a long time preparing he seemed convinced i was just throwing another tantrum
28:09and spoke helplessly stop it i already told you that i'll make it up to you
28:20acting like this won't work on me i didn't have the energy to explain anything further
28:26when i heard him and zachariah arguing in the background
28:32i simply hung up then i blocked every number belonging to my family and to eugene
28:42that night i slept deeply and had a dream
28:48in my dream a little girl dressed differently from her siblings sat at a desk
28:54writing in her diary she held a pen and wrote the number one in a new notebook mumbling to herself
29:01if it ever reaches 99 i won't want mom dad zach or sill anymore she paused then crossed out the
29:10number and wrote 0.5 instead mom and dad forgot to buy clothes for me again the kids at school
29:15laughed
29:16at my old outfit i felt sad but this is the best i have today sill said i stole her
29:24things mom and dad
29:27beat me i didn't steal anything i was trying to clean it for her
29:38but mom and dad forgot i'm allergic to seafood my hands swelled it hurts a lot it's sill's birthday
29:50the cake is so pretty i want a birthday too but mom and dad forgot mine comes two days earlier
29:59i watched silently as she filled the notebook page after page sometimes listing fractions
30:04sometimes whole numbers she made excuses for her family over and over her face grew increasingly numb
30:12when the notebook was almost full the wedding she had hoped for fell apart too the number stopped at 99
30:19i found myself staring straight into the eyes of the girl in the wedding dress
30:23i should have left earlier she said i nodded but it's not too late now
30:33when i boarded the plane all those heavy feelings i had recorded all the resentment
30:39disappointment and wound stayed behind on that land
30:44i threw myself into studying with everything i had
30:49being alone in a foreign country could feel lonely but unlike sylvia i didn't look for someone
30:56to complain to i used every spare moment to fill myself up again like a sponge i absorbed everything
31:03i'd never had the chance to learn before eventually my lab mates begged me to stop overworking and force
31:08me to take a break i returned to my dorm and lay on my bed
31:14while chatting with eleanor she suddenly mentioned my family and eugene
31:19sounding gleeful becca you won't believe it after you left eugene and the meyer family practically went crazy
31:29crazy i murmured
31:32i typed a casual reply impossible they don't care about me that much
31:37eleanor sent a quick message back who knows but apparently they've been trying every possible way
31:43to contact you i nodded that finally explained all the recent unknown numbers calling me
31:51but since i never answer unfamiliar calls i always ignored them
31:58it turned out they were from my family and eugene
32:03as i was thinking this another unknown number came in
32:08i hesitated then answered to my surprise it was mom the moment the call connected
32:15she sounded emotional becca you finally picked up where did you run off to
32:20why did you block all of us we thought something happened to you
32:25she paused then spoke stiffly we shouldn't have ignored your feelings before come home we'll celebrate your birthday
32:37her sudden change in tone was too abnormal i immediately thought of the notebook i had
32:42tossed into the trash before leaving and figured they must have fished it out and read my diary
32:4799 numbers and far more than 99 wounds
32:52no wonder they were suddenly drowning in guilt and desperate to make it up to me
32:56but what did it change
32:59doing something that hurt me and then coming back asking for forgiveness didn't prove they cared
33:06it only proved they wanted to soothe their own conscience i said coldly no need i don't like
33:13celebrating birthdays mom choked on my words and was left speechless for a long moment
33:21when she finally spoke again she tried to persuade me to come home soon
33:26i looked around my small dorm room it wasn't big but everything inside it was mine i had chosen them
33:35this place was where i finally felt i belonged
33:41no need i'm already home i said it calmly then hung up i had assumed my refusal that day was
33:49clear enough
33:51but one afternoon after finishing my experiments and stepping out of the lab
33:58i saw the very last group of people i wanted to face standing at the entrance of my apartment building
34:05it was dad mom zachariah and eugene
34:11when they saw me all of them looked shaken
34:15beck you're finally back zachariah started toward me but eugene shoved past him and planted himself
34:23directly in front of me
34:26becca long time no see he looked haggard eyes red like he hadn't slept in days the old me might
34:34have
34:34felt a sting of sympathy now i only felt annoyed we already broke up why are you here eugene's eyes
34:42reddened even more i didn't agree to break up we just had a misunderstanding
34:52a breakup doesn't need your consent i said calmly then looked toward my family standing awkwardly to the
35:00side i heard everything you said that day my parents and zachariah went pale in an instant
35:07and even eugene's eyes widened as the truth finally hit him i continued with the truth i had pieced
35:13together eugene has always liked sylvia you didn't think his family background was good enough for her
35:23so you pushed him towards me instead that way you could still keep someone around to spoil sylvia right
35:34no no no that's not mom tried to deny it but even she had no strength to argue
35:44dad and zachariah both lowered their heads shame painted across their faces
35:50as for eugene he rushed to explain himself
35:54i did like sile in the beginning but that was only at the start we're about to get married how
36:00could i not have feelings for you i nodded as if acknowledging it relief briefly flickered in his
36:08eyes then i struck cleanly
36:13but you didn't show up to our wedding so we're not getting married anymore
36:18no we can have another wedding i i already ordered your dress it's it's still from your favorite
36:23designer i already contacted the wedding planner as long as you agree we can redo everything it'll be
36:32even better than last time eugene held my shoulders voice hoarse with pleading becca please just listen
36:41to me i only take care of cell out of habit the person i love is really you i never
36:49thought you
36:50would actually leave i was a jerk i hurt you it's my fault i gently pushed his hands off his
37:00red rimmed
37:01eyes stirred something inside me after all he was the person who stayed with me during the loneliest years
37:07of my life and he was the one who made me believe i could be loved and maybe that was
37:12exactly why i
37:13could never forgive him forgiving him would mean betraying the girl who once waited so desperately
37:19for her wedding day you love me no you don't love doesn't look like this love means always feeling indebted
37:34not taking advantage of someone's feelings and hurting them again and again
37:39love is two people trying to understand each other not one person doing all the giving
37:46eugene we can't go back you know very well what i wanted what i wanted was someone who chose me
37:53without
37:53hesitation but he had never done that eugene staggered back like he had been struck by lightning
38:02he slumped over and covered his face it looked like he was crying i didn't comfort him he was
38:08an ex-boyfriend now he wasn't worth my energy that was all that needed to be said as long as
38:14he wasn't
38:14blocking my path to the dorm that was enough just as i turned to go my family stopped me
38:21that was when i recalled there were still three more people i hadn't dealt with
38:26i rubbed my temples irritated then looked at the three guilty hesitant faces
38:31he's here to beg me to get back together what about you what are you here for
38:40dad exhaled heavily becca only when we read your diary did we realize how much you've suffered all
38:47these years are you done you can go now i have things to do this afternoon don't waste my time
38:55how is this wasting time we're apologizing zachariah's voice trembled with frustration
39:01just because you're apologizing doesn't mean i have to accept it i said firmly
39:07zachariah opened his mouth but had nothing to say
39:11you keep saying you shifted your love for me onto sylvia but why i was the one you owed she
39:18was the one
39:18who benefited in your house i wasn't even as happy as i was living with grandpa and grandma
39:24now i've left i'm far away from you we can live our separate lives isn't that better for everyone
39:35mom was already sobbing
39:39becca you're our daughter you can't just cut us off like this i'd rather not be your daughter
39:46after saying that i turned and walked upstairs not bothering to look at the three of them crying
39:52in a pathetic little huddle during my final year of grad school a huge scandal exploded in our
39:59overseas student circle it turned out that after sylvia went abroad she immediately tossed aside the piano
40:08she had bragged so much about all the claims about orchestras and teacher recommendations were lies
40:17she didn't learn anything valuable what she did pick up was a chaotic lifestyle and an std
40:26then at some party she got involved with things she shouldn't have touched
40:31to get money from my family she lied that she was seriously ill
40:36my parents and zachariah rushed over out of worry only to walk in on her partying wildly
40:41apparently she was still high when they confronted her and she snapped
40:48aren't i your favorite why would you give money to that
40:51bitch rebecca instead of me if you had given me money i wouldn't have had to lie
40:57during the argument she became delirious grabbed a knife and stabbed zachariah
41:04he survived but the damage was permanent
41:17his body would never fully recover for the rest of his life
41:21my parents called it a family disaster and finally cut off her allowance
41:27without money she slid even further down the wrong path
41:32she passed her disease to several people then returned home looking for someone to take responsibility
41:39and guess who her target was eugene
41:46even though he claimed to love me
41:50when his first love came knocking he didn't refuse
41:56except that first love turned out to have an std he got infected too
42:05unable to accept what his life had become he snapped and stabbed sylvia
42:12she stabbed him and he stabbed her in the end one was dead and the other one was injured and
42:21imprisoned
42:24i stared at those familiar names and felt nothing but a faint distant sigh
42:31whatever emotions i once had were long gone after graduating i returned to america and became a key
42:38researcher at a pharmaceutical company my parents and zachariah eventually tracked down where i worked
42:44they tried to visit but they never even made it past the front gate because the security stopped them
42:51and so they lived the rest of their lives in regret
42:55they regretted never cherishing the girl they once brought home
43:00and they regretted losing the daughter and sister who once looked at them like they were her whole world
