Chapter 33
"What in the—I never hit you with a baseball bat, and I never kicked you out of my house! What the hell, Erin!" Kate yelled as she realized Erin had slandered her in front of their sickly mother.
Erin giggled, "Well, technically, you did pull my hair when you found me enjoying myself on Matt’s lap. But I get it, I may have exaggerated a bit."
"What do you mean exaggerate a bit?! You fucking lied to her!"
"Anyway, that’s not the point," Erin said as she leaned on the wall and crossed her arms on her chest. She carried a taunting grin on her lips as if she was laughing at Kate for being so defenseless. "The point is, that a little lie can cause our oh-so-pitiful mother to get hospitalized due to her heart condition. Now imagine if I told her that I slept with my brother-in-law and about how my sister now planned on filing for a divorce? Can you imagine the shock she will suffer? Oh, she will definitely die!"
Erin pretended to gasp and as she covered her lips with her fingers, mocking her sister’s concern for their mother.
"Erin! How could you say that so easily! She is our mother! Do you have no heart?!"
Erin shrugged, "Well, I guess it can’t be helped, right? She’s already dying anyway."
"You!" Kate raised her hand. She wanted to slap Erin for daring to speak ill of their mother. She also wanted to slap her for all the crazy things she did with Matt.
But her hand stopped right before it touched Erin’s cheek, and Erin didn’t even budge despite the threat of Kate slapping her across her face.
It was all because she knew that her sister would never really hurt her.
Erin scoffed, "Why didn’t you slap me, sis? Are you scared that I’ll tell Mom that you slapped me? Well, I might just do that, honestly."
