I woke up in a hospital room.
A nurse threw a glass bottle into the garbage.
“Still alive?”
“You hurt so many people, but you only lost
the baby.”
My throat was burning and I couldn’t talk.
Г
The nurse called out for someone and two
people picked me up.
I saw Chad.
He tried to convict me of murder.
“I can give you probation, but you are going
to jail!”
Then he looked away.
Brittany hugged Chad.
“Chad, I had another nightmare.
“I dreamt that I died in the fire.”
“”
Chad turned pale.

“You hate Brittany so much. Why do you have
to hurt her?”
“Her dad died in the line of duty. You are
hurting a war hero’s daughter.‘

I was given water and finally spoke. “Brittany
is a firestarter. She is a criminal and you are
incompetent.”
Chad slammed the table again and looked me
in the eyes.
“How can you say that about her?”
“She told me everything. You are the one who
started the fire.”
Brittany cried. “I’m so scared, Chad. I just
<
wanted to be your sister.”
Then she shook my arm and fainted.
“Chad, she hurt me!”
Chad picked her up and slammed me to the
floor.
“You dare hurt people in front of me?”
“You have no conscience. I want to put you in
jail.”
I looked at Chad.
I remembered when he proposed.
Now, I had nothing.
<
“We’re getting divorced. Sue me.’

“The baby is gone. Try to put me in jail.”
Chad raised his eyebrows. “What do you
mean ‘the baby is gone?“”
