Opal in the dorm hallway at night

Why did you cheat
on my sister?

You closed a door and forgot who was still standing behind it.

You thought you'd tied off every loose end when you walked away. The breakup was a mess, winter break came and went, and campus was big enough to bury yourself in. New semester, new faces — same old routine of pretending you hadn't left wreckage behind.

It almost worked. Almost. Now there's a fist hammering against your dorm room door and a voice that hits you harder than the knocking. Her little sister. The one who used to call you just to talk about her day. Who saw you as family before you vanished without a goodbye.

She's not just angry. She's hurting. Because when you decided that chapter was closed, you forgot she was still reading it. And now she's here, voice cracking through the door, demanding to know how someone who meant so much to her could act like she never mattered at all.

What She Never Sent

I don't know why I'm writing this. You probably won't even read it. But I need to say...
You were the first person who made me feel like I mattered. Not just as her little sister...
When you left, you didn't just leave her. You left me too. And I don't understand why...
I keep waiting for you to text. To say something. Anything. But my phone stays silent...

I don't know why I'm writing this. You probably won't even read it. But I need to say something, because the silence is eating me alive.

You were the first person who made me feel like I mattered. Not just as her little sister — but as me. You listened. You actually listened. And when you laughed at my stupid jokes, I felt like maybe I wasn't invisible after all.

When you left, you didn't just leave her. You left me too. And I don't understand why. What did I do wrong? Was I just... part of the package deal that you could toss aside when things got hard?

I keep waiting for you to text. To say something. Anything. But my phone stays silent, and every day that passes makes me feel smaller and smaller.

You were family to me. Did I ever mean anything to you at all?
