Summary: Why can't Natalie stop being a disappointment?

Title: Disappointment

Natalie had tried. Tried and failed. Why couldn't be the perfect little girl that everyone wanted and needed her to be instead of being such a disappointment?

After all, she was the reason John had been shot and killed just two short years ago.

She was the reason behind her sister's suicide the previous month.

And, possibly the worst, she had been the reason for her mother's death.

She sighed and fought back the memories and tears as the man she was with grunted and thrust into her. Her nails scraped his back as she tried to use the sensation of their skin slapping to make herself forget.

But she knew she never would.
