𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄, adam reed

rule 19 • and no bandaid in the world would fix what i'd done to his spirit

adan's face fell.

"what are you talking about?" he said, as if i was insane.

"you spread a rumor i killed my fucking mom!" i shoved the screen in his face.

"i don't even have instagram!" he pulled out his phone.

there was nothing there. i checked google, searching for an open instagram tab, nothing.

his camera roll was full of pictures of himself. his notes app was empty.

he didn't even have snapchat.

"why would i make an account dedicated to you?" adam asked.

i stared at the floor.

i'm so stupid. this is actually embarrassing.

literally someone shoot me.

i'm gonna vomit. no one ever speak to me ever again.

i'm gonna shove a stick up my ass.

i'm calling my dad.

i'm gonna move away. never coming back.

"my mom told me to be nice to you, and i agreed, but you're a fucking bitch." adam glared.

"i'm sorry." i said. it was all i could manage.

i just basically insulted adam everyday of my life in a weak attempt of bullying him, for no reason.

"i'm sorry." i repeated.

"i don't accept your apology." adam said, and walked away.

fuck.

that is the last rule of revenge.

that revenge never works.

revenge stems from anger. rage. you desperately try to set justice for yourself. to get revenge.

but it will only end up with you in pain.

because karma comes back.

bad people receive bad things. and that makes them worse people.

i was so angry. at myself.

i took it out on adam when he didn't deserve it.

like shattered glass.

i picked up the pieces and i threw them into his soul,
hoping to bring him down as low as i felt.

that's all i've ever done.

the only thing i've ever done is out people in pain.

especially adam.

he didn't deserve it.

and no bandaid in the world would fix what i'd done to his spirit.

but i was so sure of it.

i was so sure in myself that revenge was smart. that he deserved it. he didn't.

i was so sure that adam was the one behind the account.

he was the only person who knew about my breakup, and then it got exposed.

but it wasn't him.

so, who fucking was it?

the librarian?

a second after adam had walked away, he came back. running. he slammed right into me.

"shit!" i said.

he continued to run away after rays voice boomed the words 'adam! i'm gonna kill you, reed!' down the hallway.

"adam!" i followed after him.
