Reborn: I Won't Change Her Fate Anymore
My parents want my sister, Rachael Booth, to marry rich so badly they try to talk her into dropping out of high school during her senior year.
I do everything I can to stop them. "Mom, Dad, women can take care of themselves these days. Besides, wealthy families care about education too!"
They back down because of my words.
But later, Rachael never marries into money. Instead, she falls for a hooligan in college and ends up in an abusive marriage.
Mom screams at me, "This is all your fault, you jinx! If we hadn't listened to you, Rachael would be living the high life right now!"
Dad is just as furious. "You just want to ruin her life, don't you? You just can't stand to see your sister happy!"
Rachael buys into their narrative completely, genuinely believing I am the one who ruined her future.
One night, she kills me with a knife.
When I open my eyes, I realize I'm right back to the day Mom is trying to convince Rachael to give up on college.
