A mistake.
That's all I am.
That's all I'll ever be.
No matter how much Emily and Ivie try to convince me that I'm not, it won't work.
They don't know anything.
I walked down the road, these thoughts repeating in my head like a musical playlist.
"DUDE, HI!" the shrill voice of Emily called out. Begrudgingly, I turned my head to face her and saw her usual oversized smile.
"Hey," I replied half-heartedly.
I've always thought Emily shared my mind.
No, it's her creepy superpower of always knowing what cold thoughts run through my head.
"C'mon, we're going to be late..." she whispered, avoiding my depressive vibes. I don't blame her.
My next "friend" pops into view.
Do I really have friends...?
Ivie is calmer than Emily, preferring to avoid talking altogether. She gave me and Emily a quick smile.
Ivie lacks Emily's emotional prowess.
But mark my words, it's there.
Everytime.
Emily and Ivie start walking, and I trudge behind them, as usual.
Nothing changed.
Except you.
I know you're there.
Mocking me, staring at me behind your little screen.
Why?
Why would you do this?
Why would you want to be here?
With me.
It doesn't matter... you're probably another tragedy, waiting to break me even more... until nothing's left.
I want you to click away.
Leave me.
Please.
Just go spectate on Emily and Ivie's lives.
They deserve it.
I ᗪOᑎ'T.
"Haiki?" Ivie whispered.
It seems our communication has to come to an end.
Please... just go.
It's just an endless void for me now.
