Samsung flashing red, no longer green. Battery is low, and its not even from texting friends. No one texts, the only calls are calls from parents and bored assholes. Power off.

Facebook is filled with them liking each other's posts from years ago, mentions in comments, never you, never you. Just them and their nervous but overly confident liking. She only has one like on her new profile picture: him. Deactivate.

Instagram is covered with them tagging each other in your posts, messaging secretly away from the group chat. Members don't worry, they're glad they're flirting. Delete.

Snapchats of them Skyping fill your inbox; she's giggling, he's smirking. Seen, seen, seen. New Snap: them. Your inbox overflows. New account.

Skype is just them talking in a three way call - you've gone to sleep and wake up to them still talking. They don't notice. End call.

"What's wrong?" they finally ask when you don't answer their calls or texts. "Is someone hurting you? Tell me and I'll help you." No longer relevant.

Friendship: off

Mind: deactivate

Schooling: delete

Social life: new account

Life: end

You: no longer relevant
