I want to slap her...I want her to bleed for her poisonous curiosity.
But I don't. She has never been so stern. And what is that feeling Im getting?

My heart shatters.
You know...what she did to me. I tell her. Why must you always ask? I think I try to smile warmly, but she flinches, and so Im sure my expression is stone hard.

Why are you like this. She whispers.
This time, I strike.
And it's a punch.
More than one.
