I Promise: A Promise I Could Not Keep to My Sister

I Promise

I still remember it as if it were yesterday. The very day I ended my twin sister’s life. The sound of her pleading voice begging me to slow down will always haunt me for the rest of my life. I could never forgive myself. She was my sister, my bestfriend, we were one and now I’m lonely by myself.

“Brittany, slow down, you’re going too fast!”

“I know what I’m doing, we’re fine!”

“I don’t care, SLOW DOWN!” she yelled once more.

“Brianna relax nothing will happen, I promise.”

I guess my promises are worthless, since something did happen. I was just a kid who was having fun, believing at sixteen I could handle going over the speed limit. My life was so perfect, but now I’m living in a sinkhole formed out of my misery and regrets. I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night since the incident, thinking about my sister.
