All Chapters of They Chose My Sister, Now They Beg For Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

SIERRAMy acceptance letter carried my sister's name instead of mine.I'd returned home, arms full of heavy groceries and seen the pink balloons, the confetti on the floor.For a second, I thought it was for me.“Congratulations, Amy Thorne!” the letter read, " You've been accepted into the prestigious SilverCrest academy…”My fingers tightened around the paper. The excitement I felt plucking the letter from my mother's fingers vanished.SilverCrest was my dream. The best healing academy in the Central region, and the reason I'd spent my entire high school life buried in books.So how was Amy's name on it?She was laughing excitedly, no trace of surprise on her face. No trace of dread that she'd gotten the acceptance letter I'd been expecting for weeks.Mother and father’s hands were on her shoulder, discussing celebration dinner guest list.Nobody noticed me until the letter fluttered from my grip to the floor.

Behind him stood Amy and the moment she saw my eyes drop to her dress, she smirked victoriously.Rich burgundy silk hugged her petite frame, complementing her pale skin. The dress had been altered to fit her slender body because it was originally mine. I was

Every eye in the room turned to my direction.As quick as the pain came, it vanished, leaving me feeling hollow.I rocked unsteadily on my feet, shivering despite myself. What in goddess name was that? It felt as if…I couldn't put it in words. It felt as if the only steady thing within me had been cruelly yanked away.“Taylor?" Amy appeared at my side, a frightened expression on her face. I tried to smile and failed.Sierra. Her name rang like a warning in my head, making me dizzy again.“Are you okay? Do you need to lie down?" She asked, steering me towa
