Hey. The beginning of this chapter is a flashback to when the sisters fight, and then it will move to the present. Just letting you know, this chapter mentions suicide, death, and has hardcore depression. Enjoy!
(Peggy's POV)
I hopped out of bed, and groggily walked to my vanity. I dragged a brush through my poofy hair and tugged it into a bun. I picked a white tee-shirt, yellow bomber jacket, jeans, and yellow high tops. I was tying my shoes as Eliza jumped in my room. "Aw! Love the outfit sis! Who you trying to impress? James Reynolds? I saw him looking at you the other day." I snorted and moved to my next shoe. "He's dating Maria. She's my best friend and I would never do that to her. I'm not trying to impress anyone." Eliza threw me a skeptical look. "You sure? What about John?" "Which one? I know like fifty." Please don't say it, please don't say it. "Laurens." Damn it Eliza. You said it. "No. Why would I do that? If I was going to impress him, I would have years ago. And for the last time, I'm not trying to impress anybody!" Angelica burst in. "First, Peggy, we know you. You would take a long time to build up courage to impress someone you've known for years. You might have just built up that courage to impress second, yes you are trying to impress John because you like him. Don't try to deny it, we can tell. We know you!" I shook my head. 'No you don't' I wanted to scream back at them. They don't know me. They weren't there when I cut my knee open trying to climb over a fence to get out of school. They weren't there to convince me not to climb over the fence to get out of school. Maria was. They weren't there when I found out I had depression. Maria was. They weren't there for me when I waited on the train tracks for a train to crush me. Maria was. They weren't there to bring me happiness after trying to commit suicide, Maria was. Maria had always been there for me, and I had been there when Thomas Jefferson 'accidentally' dropped a big rock on her leg and broke it during our 6th grade field trip. I had been there when her sister-like cousin died, I was even at the funeral. Anger seeped through me. "Pegs?" My thoughts were broken. "No Angelica, you two don'tknow me. Sure, we're sisters, but you weren't there during the toughest times in my life. Do you know who was?" Eliza cut in. "John I'm guessing." "NO! HE WAS NOT THERE! NO ONE WAS EXCEPT FOR MARIA! SHE WAS THERE WHEN YOU ALL WEREN'T! SHE IS THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT MY FEELINGS! YOU DON'T LOVE ME! YOU CLAIM YOU DO, BUT YOU DON'T!" I screamed. Eliza was taken aback by this. Angelica bounced back first. "You're right. We don't love you. No one does. No one has. No one ever will. We were wrong to think someone did." My head spun. My heart throbbed. Pain. All I feel is pain. I crouched, clutching my chest. What's happening? I heard slight voices, but they were so distant. My eyes were clouding over, and soon, darkness.
I awoke to beeping on my right, and snores on my left. I looked around. I was in a hospital by the looks of it. When I turned my head, my suspicions were confirmed. Maria was asleep in a visitors chair. I smiled inwardly. As I suspected. Maria would be here, and no one else was. I craned my head to look at the clock. '2:20' School would be out in fifteen minutes. I touched Maria's hand. She immediately woke up. "Oh Pegs! I was so worried! I was waiting in class for you, and when you didn't show up, I was scared for your life! Then the office called for me and I was driven here by the vice-principle. I arrived and they told me that you had a heart attack. Your mom had forgotten her purse and come back for it, then when your sisters told her that you fainted, she called the ambulance. Oh Pegs, don't do that ever again!" She flung her arms around me. I felt tears drip on my arm. I looked at her face as she pulled away. She had a maroon dress that was very 'showy' of her body. It was tight fitting and low cut; showing at lot of legs and flawless skin. She had her brown hair straightened and she was wearing a heck-ton of make up. I told her what had happened before I blacked out. When I told her what I had said about her, tears gathered in her eyes again. "That means so much to me Pegs." She hugged me again. "You're going to suffocate me!" I laughed, a grin on my face. It was 2:50. No other visitors. Maria left at 10:46, the nurse had to drag her out, she didn't want to leave my side. I fell asleep at 1:29. When I opened my eyes on Friday, it was 7:32. Maria came with food at 8:17. She had also come with my phone and charger, games, sketch pad, pencils, and homework. A lot of homework. She guided me through history, snickered at my math, slept when it took an hour for me to do social studies, laughed at my language arts essay, and drew when I finished science. "Done!" I dropped my notes on the bed and did a victory arm dance. It was 11:13 when Eliza, Angelica, John, Alex, Lafayette, and Hercules finally came in. I had been crushing Maria at chess and scowled at them when they came in. Eliza glared at Maria when I took her bishop. Maria grinned and moved her queen. "Boom!" She made an explosion with her hands. I moved my pawn and killed her king. "What! How did you do that? I call rematch!" She stared wide-eyed at the board. "Nope! I won, fair and square!" She crossed her arms. "I quit!" "What are you quitting?" I asked. "I don't know it just sounded appropriate for the setting of the conversation." We giggled and I closed the game. Maria checked her phone. "Ughh. Mom needs me to babysit. Later? I'll bring your favorites! Home made." I grinned as she packed up. "Tell your mom thanks in advance for those cookies!" She nodded. "I will! See ya!" I waved as she left then turned to the others. "What?" I said irritated. "What do you mean 'what'? You had a heart attack and we came to check on you!" Eliza cried. "You could have come earlier. It's the last Friday of the month, which means a day off of school." I retorted. "If you want us to leave, then we will. Just say to words." Eliza snapped. Herc cut in before we could start a row. "Stop fighting. We came to see her, not fight with her. Did they say why it happened? Or is it all a cover?" He said with a grin that could only mean one thing. "A cover for what?" Alex said. Me and Herc shared a look. "Who comes to keep the bad guys away? Da na na na na na naaa. Who comes to save the day? Da na na na na na naaaaaa. SUPER SPIES! On our way to save you! SUPER SPIES! The enemies run away from us! SUPER SPIES! I'm Agent Daisy! And I'm Agent Cloth! Da na na, da na na, dyowwwwwww. Super spies." We sang together. Laf howled in laughter. Alex had his face in his hands and John was cry-laughing. Eliza looked embarrassed. "That was your theme song from your elementary game oui? C'était hilarant!" (That was hilarious)"SUPER ESPIONS!" (Super spies) Alex and John were holding each other to not fall over and Herc and I were smiling, remembering our game. Angelica's face had turned red and finally gave in to giggles but Eliza just stood there, rigid. "Back to the point." She began, but I cut her off. "What point? The one were I asked you to leave?" She reached to pull Alex with her but I shook my head. "No, just you. Angelica will stay too." I added as Eliza reached for our older sister. Eliza looked at me with something in her eyes. Hate? Love? Love-hate? No, longing. it's longing. But for what? to be the center of attention? To have all our friends next to her, fussing over her. I finally get attention, and it's because I'm in the hospital for gods sake! She always needs attention, to be in charge. The spotlight can't be on anyone but her. I smiled. Here I am. In the , basking in it. And she can't stand the thought of it.
Okay hope you liked the chapter. I tried to make the end less sad, and a little happier. I was going to add a few kisses and stuff but I decided to use the Super Spy idea instead. I'm going to throw in a random self promo. Go check out my stories on Inkitt . My username is also stormoffandoms. I also have another story on here called Where the Two Worlds Meet. It's not my best work, but it's okay. This was a long chapter and my computer is 5%, so I'll see you later. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. (This is the longest chapter in this story. )
