Why? Why did you laugh at me? I was stupid to talk of love, I know. But... You hurt me. Was it something I did? I'm shy and easily embarrassed, I know that. But... I loved you.
I shook my head, my alarm ringing from the bedroom. I had passed out in the doorway again. I stood up, rubbing my wrists slightly. Still a little sore, but I'd be fine. I walked to the bathroom, seeing bags under my green eyes. I hadn't slept in God knows how long, and on top of that, I was deathly pale. People started to ask questions, especially about the long sleeves in the middle of summer. I couldn't show my arms, what was left of them.
