“I decided to play alcoholic for the day. It worked for a little, but now I feel like crying.”

_How can you say that?_

_To me of all people?_

I don’t know what you want for me

From the girl whose father was one

Take it from me

You don’t want to have that happen

For it to consume your life

Faster than it takes to drink the bottle...

He did it for me, I know, I should have a wide recognition of that. Because every time he say that, my heart aches. Every god dam time I tell him “how could you do that,” the perpetual answer does not change....

“How can you say that?!” I scream. My yell echoes through the white room. I could see nobody in the room but voices continued to flood my brain. I dig my fingernails into my scalp.”STOPPPP!” I fall to my knees and let out a sob. I’m alone.

I look around the white room that I lie in. There’s not much to it. White, perfect, straight lines. There was nothing inside the room but me.

...

“How can you say that?! How can you forgive them when they damaged you oh so terribly?!” The boy pleaded, taking the hands of the one he loved most.

The girl’s eyes glistened with tears. “Because they’ve been through things too. My family is filled with nothing but hate, and if I just forgive them, then it’ll be all over. They’ll just—“

“Stop it, love. Just stop,” The boy said. “They took your c...

I never thought it would be so impossibly hard, locking myself to get away. Trying to escape the world. I had one thing to hold on to, my heart. But when I met Damian it was longer my heart. I loved him so much, that my heart was his.

And now that he’s dead, I’m not so sure that I can keep moving.

“Mya please just come out!” My older sister Alice knocked on my door.

“Leave me alone,” I say, “I’...

“How Can you say that?”

Because I’m evil, no?

“Why would you think that?”

Because it’s happened before.

“You need help, I’m sorry I can’t.”

No, help doesn’t help. You don’t.

“Open up- come out, please.”

Scratch my head, then I wake up.

Want the real me? Nah.

Go away, stop knockin’.

No one’s answering.

Stop botherin’.

Grab the knife.

Love the pain, yeah.

What? It’s my life.

Oozing, throbbing...

He yanked my arm, forcing me to face him.

“If you leave it like this, it’s over.”

His eyes were cold, his voice sounded like a knife stabbing my heart.

“Then it’s over,” I made my voice as hard as I could, “It’s over.”

A passing car honked, telling us to move.

I tried to pull my arm away, but Ty held me in place, the headlights bring all eyes on us.

“Is that really what you want?-To leave thin...

“You’re selfish, and you always think about yourself!” Scarlets’ voice was low, but frustrated.

“How can you say that?!” I said, as I looked up at her.

“Well, I mean it’s true!” Her eyebrows were raised, and her shoulders tight.

“Really? You think I’m selfish?” My voice started to break, just at the thought of what she was saying.

“I mean, you always make everything about you, not that you ...

You’re not right

You want to fight

Try with all my might

To avoid this tonight

But no, you keep going

Like lawnmowers, mowing

Chattering and annoying

Too much, stop voicing

I am now leaving

Gone and now fleeing

But you keep on teasing

Goodbye, no longer pleasing

Tessa🦋...

“How can you say that”

“Idk”...
