Having a little sister was great, Jane had always wanted one. So, when her mother told her she would be having a sister, she was delighted. However, when Allison was born, nothing was like Jane had expected. Everyone was paying attention only to her, and Jane was feeling left alone, and jealous. Their mother was worried about them, but she was told it would pass. However, it only got worse. Allison was smarter, more beautiful, and better at everything than Jane. She ended up having a better job, marrying a better man, and being richer than her sister. On top of that, she was always really sweet to her sister, deciding to ignore the envy devouring Jane.
Jane felt terrible for envying her sister, she knew she should love her, but she had everything she wanted. It was hard seeing someone you know and love succeeding in live when you were failing. It was hard asking for help. And then, Jane's husband left her, and she became a wreck. Jane fled to her sister's home, crying, to be received by her happy sister. When Allison saw the state her sister was in, she got her in and gave her a warm cup of coffee. Jane sat on her couch, crying uncontrollably.
-He's a bastard, a bastard.-she muttered.
-What happened?- her sister asked, sitting by her side.
-He was cheating on me. With my best friend!
Allison simply hugged her and set the table for dinner. It was only her and her sister, as Allison's husband was away in a business trip. She served the salad and the roast beed, and poured a glass of wine for her sister.
-Won't you drink with me?- Jane asked.
-I'm sorry sister, I can't. I'm pregnant!
-Congratulations! That's awesome!- she said while feeling a stab through her heart, she had always wanted to be a mother.
They finished their meal, while Allison updated her sister on her life. Jane was feeling more and more jealous the more her sister told her. When it was time to sleep, she just couldn't fall asleep, thinking how her sister had everything she wanted, and she had nothing. The thought filled her mind, and although she loved her sister, and although she was her sister she knew what she had to do. Jane stood up and sneaked inside her sister's bedroom, she took a pillow and covered her sister's face with it. She pressed until her sister was no longer breathing, it was the only way to make sure she wouldn't be better than her anymore.
