~Chloe~

It was the 20th of December 2017 and we were all having a family meeting. I mean we could have been in Lekki Palms Mall or Lekki Conservative Center but No! We were all in the sitting room this hot Sunday after discussing my punishment. A punishment for a crime I did not commit.

I'm sure you're probably confused as to how I got my self into this deep shit. Well let me rewind to last night, after I went to bed with Zoe's words of her getting back at me for being sarcastic hovering in my chest. I woke up 3 hours later with the most unbelievable lie that was cooked up just to frame me.

At exactly 10pm last night mom came up to my room and dragged me out of my bed- which I was still fast asleep in, all the way down to sitting room. Zoe sat down there with crocodile tears streaming down from her eyes. I eyed her skeptically wondering what was going on and my question was answered by the video playing on our flat screen tv

It was a video of Zoe acting as me threatening to strip her clothes off. As if it wasn't enough, she played bear pong and ended up kissing a random guy in the video. She was dressed in the same brown top and black skirt she took from my room that night.

How is mom and dad stupidly buying this video? No offence, but even a new born baby would tell that this was clearly Zoe dressed up as me and acting like me just to get me in trouble all for what? Because I was sarcastic to her.

I groaned out when Zoe wouldn't stop crying and mom was being the best mother she could by raining insults on me. It was sad though that she didn't even give me a chance to explain. As far as I was concerned, Zoe is the good girl doing her "Sisterly duties" by showing them this fake video - which she obviously photo shopped so well, making sure I appeared nasty to mom and dad. While she obviously appeared as the knight in shining armour saving me from my "bad behavior."

Mom was the only one doing the talking while Dad was quiet. Dangerously quiet which was Piercing my skin every second.

"Jessa Olamipo Chloe Babajide how could you? Why the sudden change of behaviour? What if someone else saw you? Chloe. I am highly disappointed in you. I may have expected this from Zoe but c'mon not you. You are better, you know better than to drink and get wasted!"

"Mom it wasn't m--"

"Enough! Stop trying to lie to cover up what you did. How could you tell me it's not you, when it's clearly you. No one had that Brown and black outfit like you and look the brown top has your name on it! So what other cock and bull story do you want to tell me? "

I sighed knowing it was no use trying to explain to her. Heck! How could I when she wouldn't even give me a chance to explain myself? It was few minutes to 12am when she finally gave it a rests and dad spoke with anger and disappointments evident on his voice.

"Let's call it a night. I will pick this up tomorrow afternoon after Church. And Chloe you had better find some evidence to prove your innocence or else, hmmm let's leave the rest till tomorrow. "

With that, he left and so did mom leaving I and Zoe in the sitting room. Zoe turned off the Tv and said to me.

"Don't look so crestfallen Chloe. I just portrayed who you really are to Mom and Dad in that short video, a stupid, worthless, selfish old hag. So what I believe you should be saying is THANK YOU "

With that she left for her room as well, leaving me all by my self in the sitting room. I sighed wondering if I would forever be in Zoe's shadows. I was just glad I had a hamburger and French Fies with Samuel before I got home tonight. Not knowing what else to do and how to save myself and frankly to tired to think of a solution. I left for my room with tears running down my eyes as I sang the last verse of the song "When will my life begin" by Mandy Moore from the movie "Tangled".

So with that said, I hope I was able to keep you up to date on how I got to this predicament.

"Really Chloe all you've brought to the table are lies, lies and more lies. I always knew Zoe had the tendency of lying but I didn't think she would influence you too."

Father said and his words sliced through my heart. I always knew mom never really believed in me but now dad too. I was disappointed to say the least this was by far the height of it but I was willing to give it a try, to explain myself one more time.

"Dad you don't understand, that's Zoe Pretending to be me in that video."

"Oh really then why don't you prove it huh? Prove that you aren't the one."

"For starts, if you smell the shirt, it smells of Zoe's expensive cologne and not mine and secondly, I don't use glasses, ever and thirdly, why would I sneak out to a party when you know all to well that I've never actually been to one before?"

"Nonsense! That doesn't proof anything and I am sick and tired of you spitting more lies. "

My dad thundered and I cowed in fear knowing I might as well stop trying. This was honestly pointless. I always knew Zoe was always their favorite, was always preferred, and now they were point blank rubbing it in my face.

It was obvious that no matter how badly she behaved towards me and everyone around her, our parents were never going to see through the good girl façade she keeps putting up in front of them. I thought I could hold the tears back, thought I could convince them but they never gave me a chance to. Heck! all the energy I had gathered went out the window the minute dad said...

"After all I've done for you. After all your mom and I have done for you, you choose to repay us this way. Hmmm maybe some time in solitude will bring you back to your sense. "

"D...dad? W... Wha... What are you saying?"

"What I am saying is. You will be spending this Christmas holiday all by yourself in this house. You're grounded Chloe and you won't be going with us to Las Vegas, end of discussion."

"Daddy No! It wasn't me. Please believe me! "

I screamed and wailed like a woman in labour. All my screams fell on deaf eyes and mom and Dad walked out on me leaving me in the sitting room with Zoe. I curled up into ball not minding If I was making myself vulnerable before her. After a while she spoke making me raise my head at her voice

"Tsk tsk tsk poor thing. It makes me cry to see you cry."

She said to me with a pouty face. I glared at her as I felt the new urge to strangle her.

"Oh wait. No it doesn't! Ha! Serves you right for being sarcastic to me. Oh and good luck. Apply for Dummy's Championship now."

"It's the International 3D Animation competition you---"

"Ah ah ah I wouldn't complete that statement if I were you. Or you could and watch me ruin your life right before your eye. "

I gritted my teeth in anger knowing she had the upper hand against me. To think she was my twin sister, she was obviously Voldemort in person. How mom and dad failed to see this is still a mystery to me. I sighed knowing she was right. I just walked out of the sitting room and headed to my room not wanting to be in the same room with the person that had brought this misery on me.
