So, it's been four years or so and I'm now twenty years old. Such joy.
Four years of fucking burger king.
Four years of Derek being a little weird towards me. Not in a bad way exactly, but a creepy way.
Four years of this town with it's weirdos. Not saying I'm any better than them. I guess we're all freaks here.
Four years of always feeling like crap.
See the joy?
It was six in the evening and I just got home from the hellhole. Derek was upside down on the couch, in shorts and no shirt.
I blinked and shook my head, walking away from the scene.
"Ruuuusty!" He whined and fell off the couch.
"What, freak?" I walked to my bedroom.
"Gu
I have this feeling.
Like...
I'm being followed.
I turned around for the sixth time. I swear I saw red eyes. Holy shit. I let out a breath, and started to walk again. This was creepy. Really creepy.
I let out a growl. I'm just being paranoid. My hand was in my jacket pocket, holding my red and black switchblade tightly. I turned and started to walk across the bridge that connected the city and urban area.
The bridge over the water was at least a ten feet drop. I studied it every time I walked across it. In the evenings there would be a sunset, before it was completely dark. Then I would just walk on home.
Suddenly, I felt myself
The town was destroyed. Fire still consuming some of the buildings. The rest we're just crumbs and ashes. Everything was gone. Everyone was gone. Until I turned around, and saw my dad.
"Nobody wants you." He spoke angrily. "Nobody will ever want you."
"-sty, wake up!" Was all I heard before everything was bright. I opened my eyes quickly. My body felt hot, and my eyes we're wet.
"Rusty! Why are you crying?" Derek asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" I was crying?! Shit! I don't like people seeing me cry.
"You're crying, and you we're shaking." he looked at me softly. Quickly, I hid under my covers.
"Shut up! No I'm not!"
"Alright. Is that the last box?" Derek asked.
"We only had two boxes." I muttered back, yawning. It was eight in the morning, and I just wanted to fall asleep again.
"Derek! Rusty!"
We both turned around and Eliza ran into me, hugging me tightly.
"Oh gosh, I'm gonna miss you guys! Like, a lot!" She cried, actually crying.
"Get. Off. Me. You. STUPID FUCKING GIRL." I yelled out, hitting her head.
She instantly let go, and looked at me, hurt. A second later they turned to anger.
"You asshole! I've been nothing but nice to you, because I felt bad for you, and this is how you decide to treat me?!"
"I don't need you and your dumb boobs to b
I never meant to hurt you,
though it happened all the same.
With words I never meant to say
I took the one you love away.
I should have kept my mouth shut.
I never should have said a word.
I guess this is a lesson learned,
I am of better use unheard.
