Equestria Girls One Shots

A Shoulder to Lean On (Appledash)

rainbows pov:

i bolted from the locker rooms crying. it was useless going back. sunset would just try to comfort me and my feelings for her would just grow. it felt like my heart was being sucker punched as i ran across the street, into the bushes of the park, and slammed myself against the wall of my house. i hit my fist on the wall and started sobbing, everytime i saw sunset kiss twilight i couldnt fucking stand it. i wasnt mad at twilight but god if she wasnt one of my closest friends i wouldve done something rash. i was jealous. i hated to admit it. my whole life ive always told myself im the best at everything, that i can accomplish anything. but whats the point if im not good 

enough for sunset.

i threw my bag in the window and crawled in, it was the window in my room. i picked up my bag from the floor and threw it back down again. i fell to my knees and started sobbing again. mom and dad werent home from work yet thankfully, i didnt want their attention for at least another week. i let myself fall on the floor and hugged my bag as i continued crying, my eyes burning, my nose getting pinchy, my breaths getting heavier. and i just let it happen. i wasnt awesome anymore, i was miserable.after lying on my floor for a good 30 minutes i sighed and wiped my nose with my sleeve. i got up and sat on my bed, i was numb. i didnt know what to do. i grabbed my phone and looked through my contacts:

sunset🧡

twilight ✨

fluttershy 🦋💞

i stared at fluttershy's name for a bit before reading the next:

apple jack 💩

i pressed on her name and called her. i didnt know what else to do. i sighed while the phone rang. i heard a click.

"howdy rainbow! whats up?" she said enthusiastically

"hey apple jack, um.." i said monotone, "can you come over?"

"uhh i dont know, im mighty busy. plus i have a bunch of chor- wait a minute, is this about the competition we had the other day? cause i know for a fact i beat you fair and square-"

"i dont give a shit about that apple jack." i shouted

"oh, uh im sorry rainbow.. are you okay?"

"just.. come over quickly. or dont come at all, i dont care." i wasnt even listening to myself

"im coming rainbow, dont you worry." she said before hanging up

i threw my phone on the bed. at least she cared. well, sunset and twilight cared too but.. ugh i dont know. it was different. i didnt even have a right to be mad at them anyways. its not like they know theyre hurting me. god fuck why is this so complicated. as i sat on my bed numbly staring at the floor, time passed. before i could finish arguing with myself, i heard the doorbell rang. i got up and walked slowly to the door.

"hey rainbow" apple jack said in a worried tone as she waved hesitantly

i moved so she could walk in and i closed to the door without saying anything. i walked to my room and seeing she had no other choice, she followed me. i stood next to my bed as she walked in. i felt her hand on my shoulder.

"are you okay rainbow?" she said looking at me

i took one look at her. a feeling came over me. i didnt know what to do, i was so numb nothing fucking mattered.
