her the award.
My song, but no one believed me.
Anya mentioned that my dad polished the
lyrics, and my dad laughed and accepted it.
He gave Anya the award, and said she was
his pride.
I bit my lip as tears fell.
The lyrics were about my time in the
orphanage, but now it was theirs.
Even my brother said that “Ten years ago our family went to the sea, and I went surfing, but

there was a tsunami, and Anya jumped in to
save me. She gave me her lifejacket.”
“Anya gave me a second life. I’ll make sure she’s the happiest princess who can sing!”
I laughed through the tears.
Anya can’t even swim, how did she save you?
I gave you my lifejacket, and crashed into the rocks, covered with blood.
I gave a long time number a text.
[Does your promise still count?]

They replied [Yes. You shouldn’t let them hurt
you. I know what they did. You shouldn’t be
with them. What do you want me to do?]
I started typing, but my mom walked in and
saw the text.
“Who are you texting? Where are you going in
three days?”
I turned off my phone, and flipped through the
calendar.
[My birthday.]
Mom sighed in relief, and patted my head.

“Where do you want to go? We’ll go with
you!”
I typed in an address, the beach where we
went ten years ago.
Everything began there, so it should end
there.
Three days later, the family booked a yacht to
celebrate my and Anya’s birthdays.
For ten years, she was always the main
character.
She learned how to get attention, while I was

socially awkward from living in an orphanage.
This time was no different.
She had the cake made two meters tall, and
said to me “I forgot you can’t cut the cake
with me…”
My parents consoled her, and said it was
okay, and this year she would cut the cake for
ine.
Anya happily cut the cake, even splitting me
into two.
When she gave it to me, she whispered
“Everyone likes me, if you take them away, I’ll

do what happened to the cake!”
Next, everyone congratulated Anya.
My parents went to greet their friends, and
my brother came when I embarrassed them.
“It’s windy. Do you want me to take you inside
to rest?”
Anya stopped him.
“Brother, you can go, I’ll help my sister to her
room!”
I wanted to reject, but couldn’t make any
sounds.

Anya took me to the corner room.
There was smoke everywhere, and several
men stared at us.
Anya pushed me to them, and grinned.
“Don’t think you can turn things around. You
can’t win!”
“Did you know? My brother gave you a dog’s vocal cords, hahahaha!”
“Even if you sing, you can only go woof!”
Anya barked, and the men laughed.

I saw the lust in their eyes, and was scared.
[You can have anything, I’m leaving. You’ll be
the only daughter.]
Anya read it and laughed.
“Leave? Where can you go? Haha!”
She smashed my phone, then ripped her
dress and messed up her hair.
Then, she screamed “Help!”
The door was kicked open, and my family
rushed in.

I sat there, and Anya was struggling with the
men.
“Stop!”
My brother was angry, and my dad told the
men to calm down.
“What do you want? Just don’t hurt my
daughters!”
The leader sounded deep, as if using a voice
changer.
“This girl slandered our idol, she has to pay!”
He pulled out a hammer and got ready to hit

Anya’s hands.
“Police! Everyone put your hands up!”
My dad’s friends rushed in.
The men let go of Anya and jumped out the window.
It was too dark to see where they went.
Anya held my parents and sobbed.
“Don’t blame my sister, she just wanted to do
what my fans did to her to me…”
“It’s my fault she’s like this, don’t blame her!”

My brother felt guilty, then mad.
“Chloe! What’s wrong with you! Those people
had nothing to do with Anya, why are you taking it out on her?!”
My parents were also disappointed and heartbroken.
“It was your fault for stealing her song. You’re
so evil!”
They grabbed Anya and left.
Everyone called me names, and told my
parents to cut me off.

They locked the door.
The family had the doctors do checkups on
Anya, then thought about me.
Dad told the waiter “Let Chloe out. She
should feel bad after a night.”
The waiter crashed into the manager running to him.
“Mr. Lancaster, something happened! Miss Chloe jumped in the water! She left a phone, which has the recording of what happened in the room!”
“Miss Chloe was frame”
