Town of Broken Girls

Glitch

Shatter POV

I walk up to Angel's house to see her. God- I do not want to do this. But maybe if I help Daffodil with this people will see me as more than a freak- like I can actually do something. Maybe? Probably not, but... maybe.

Hopefully, it doesn't take too long. I- well- Barbie actually asked to go to the movies with me. As friends, of course, but still exciting to finally have a friend. I've never had any friends.. well, except for Lexie I guess but she kinda has to be.

Anyways, I better get to this.

I knock on the door but no one answers. Oh, great- she's not home, now what do I do-

Angel: I'm over here, idiot

I turn around and see Angel carrying a backpack. That's weird, she, like, never leaves her house (no judgment 'cus same) it just doesn't seem like her.

Shatter: Oh, uh, hi

Angel: What do you want?

Shatter: Umm, I was just wondering if you've seen August recently, 'cus I noticed she hasn't really been around recently and-

Angel: She's just sick.

Shatter: So she's at home?

Angel: Yeah

Shatter: But... she didn't tell any of the people from her drama classes she wasn't going to be there and that doesn't seem like her-

Angel: What makes you think you know my girlfriend better than I do?

She grabs my shoulder and pushes me against the wall. Daffodil's right, she isn't acting like herself.

Shatter: What? No, that's not what I said-

Angel: Then what were you saying?

Shatter: I-

Angel: And tread lightly, you wouldn't want to make me angry.

She digs her nails into my shoulder.

Shatter: umm... I- just find it kinda weird that you're the only one who's allowed to see August and no one else can even get in contact with her.

Angel: Are you accusing me of lying?

She digs her nails further into my skin but they feel more like claws. I feel blood dripping down from my shoulder and I start to glitch. I feel electricity shooting through my body, my vision starts to flash black. I look down and see my veins glowing white through my skin. Fuck- I haven't glitched this bad in so long.
