title: never meant to
prompt: G; guilty
featuring: Kelly
set: pre-series

Kelly still remembers the last thing she said to her. In the heat of the moment, and not meaning a word of it, she said three words she could never take back.
I hate you.
It was over something so stupid. Shane Pierce was coming around but Mrs. Seaver wanted Kelly to stay away. A reasonable request, but Kelly wasn't looking for reason. So she pouted and she whined and she ran to her room while her mother left for work.
Kelly never saw her alive again.
And she wonders even now: why couldn't John Wakefield have killed her instead?
