Chapter The Girls
The Girls
By now you’ve gathered that we were not friends before this.
Friendship isn’t what brought us together. It was the darkness, lurking within each of us. The want. The crushing blows.
We didn’t know it at the time, but that’s why we did it.
Why we can’t find a trace of remorse within ourselves. Why we’re not even looking for any.
However, we feel like we should make that distinction: this was not the team effort one might imagine it was.
There was no murder squad.
And we’re certainly not guilty in equal measure.
We could have pointed the finger. We could have kept up the fights. We could have drowned in other people’s spotlights.
But one thing united us: in the darkest shade of the night, we saw a sliver of opportunity.
We recognized it.
We seized it.
Time only can tell whether it was worth it.
