The Darkest Parts of Me

Chapter 1

Rachel Berry entered her large two story home as she looked around. Of course her parents wouldn't be home. They almost never were. She exhaled and went up to her room. She had to admit the only good part about her parents working long hours was the vast amount of privacy she received plus the amazing house she lived in. Not to mention the expensive clothes that she always got to flaunt at school.

She finally made it to her room and signed into her account. Even though she couldn't enlist the help of her parents for communication she always liked that she did have a certain someone to talk to. She sent him a message and looked around her room waiting for him to respond. She kept looking around until her eyes landed on a picture of her and her little sister. Her little sister who she had a hand in killing. Everyone told her it was an accident, but no one could stop her from blaming herself. She remembered what happened as if it was yesterday.

Rachel laughed as her sister,, Chancey chased her through the forest and to the lake where her friends were. She had promised her parents that she would watch Chancey today. It was a nuisance, but she had said she would. Rachel smiled as she sat down beside her crush Finn Hudson.

"Hey Finn." she smiled tossing her hair over one shoulder.

"Hey Rach."

She giggled as her sister tugged on her sleeve. God, couldn't her sister tell she was busy?

"Rachel."

"What is it Clancey. I'm busy."

"Can I go swimming?"

"Sure knock yourself out."

Her sister ran to the lake and jumped in as she adverted her eyes and continued to talk with Finn who offered her a beer or two. Chancey was surprisingly quit during all of this. Espicially when Rachel and Finn went into the forest to bone for a little while. It had been Rachel's first time that day, but she was glad to lose it to Finn.

But once they headed back tragedy struck. Rachel screamed as she saw her sister laying face up in the lake just floating there. She detached herself from Finn and dove into the lake swimming towards her sister's body. She finally got to it and literally almost chocked on her own vomit at what she saw.

Her sister's skin was chalk white and her eyes looked lifeless. Her lips were a deep set blue as if she had lacked oxygen for a while. Rachel let out a chocked cry as she checked her sisters pulse. There wasn't one. Shit. What had she done?

She swam with her sister's body to the surface as Finn raced to them.

"Call 911."

He pulled out his cellphone as she began CPR on her sister. She knew deep down in her heart that it would be useless, but she had to try. She couldn't let her sister die because of one stupid mistake. Water slipped out of her sisters mouth, but she still wasn't responding.

When the ambulance got there. They tried, but it was too late. Her sister was already dead. According to the medical examiner she had died an hour before they got there. Cause of death was drowning.

Ever since then Rachel had never forgiven herself, but now instead of seeking comfort from her friends and family, she now seeked help from a chat room full of people who had lost someone. She sighed and signed in waiting for her boyfriend to sign on.

She had been talking to this one seventeen year old student for a while now, but she would never tell her mother that. She smirked when he responded and started to type away. She had to. She had to escape the pain.
