Why did it have to come to this?

Apple Bloom was holding on to Scootaloo by her wing. Scootaloo was falling off a cliff, but Apple Bloom had grabbed her friend.
"Hold on Scoots!" Apple Bloom shouted.
"No! I don't deserve life!" and Scootaloo wriggled out of her friends grasp.
---There is a reason to this. What if I told you Scootaloo did deserve this? Would you be shocked? Confused? Both? Because in her eyes, she did.
The filly had come to terms with the fact of her being an orphan, and distracted that memory with flight training. She learned with the help of Rainbow Dash and her filly, who learned at a young age. RD was the caption of the Wonder bolts (no surprise there) and the filly is a Pegasus who is cyan with a hint of pink.
---"Pink?" you might ask. "Who's the father?" you might too. Well here's the answer; Pinkie Pie. Your reaction: "Wha...What? PINKIE PIE? HOW??" My explanation: "Surgery." That is all.
After a few years of training, Rainbow Dash accepted Scootaloo into the Wonder Bolts. Show after show, it was great. Flying and stunting around an arena to roaring applause. For about four months it went like this. Her life was perfect, until Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon came back to Ponyville.
Our well-known Scoots was a full-grown mare and decided to visit Ponyville after a show. She was walking to Sugar Cube Corner for a bite to eat when she heard an all-to familiar voice:
"Well if it isn't Blank-Flank!" said Diamond Tiara
"Yeah, Blank-Flank!" mimicked Silver Spoon
---Yup, Scootaloo hasn't gotten her cutie mark yet. She has tried everything and now worst fears are back.
"No," Scootaloo said, "I don't have, and will not have, my cutie mark now or in the near future. But at least i don't walk around stalking other ponies and pointing out their issues, while their issues are far greater. So no, I don't have a cutie mark. But do you know what I do have?" Then Scootaloo pulled out a sharp blade, engraved with the letters 'DT.'
"What's that?" said Silver Spoon, slowly backing away, fear in her voice.
Diamond Tiara stammered, "Is that--"
"Why, isn't it your dad's knife. Shame he had to commit 'suicide.' Scootaloo said with a grin, twirling the knife in her hooves. She had been planning this for a while now. She was finally going to get revenge. Finally. "Hm, would you look at that? Oh! It's your initials. Funny. Guess I should put it BACK WHERE IT BELONGS!!" With a shout, Scootaloo planted the knife into the chest of the pony opposite of her, Diamond Tiara. Spitting up blood, she said her last words;
"I'm...sorry..."
"It's too late for sorry."
And with that, Scootaloo twisted the curved blade and it punctured DT's heart. The dying pony collapsed to the ground and started having convulsions. Backing away in part smugness, part shock, and with SS long gone, Scootaloo ran into the night, wondering what she had just done. She had to punish herself.
Scootaloo knew what she did was wrong. She also knew that she made the wrong choice with suicide. But if she wanted to save herself, she couldn't because Apple Bloom had damaged her wing. Her life was flashing before her eyes. All the taunts from DT and SS. Then she realized something. They were raised being told that they were better than every-pony else. They were fed lies since birth. It's not their fault. Then, before the rocks pierced Scootaloo's heart, she said her last words;
"I forgive you."
