"Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs and ways of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren't inherently bad people, but they aren't the right people for us. As hard as it is, we have to let them go.Life is hard enough not being around people who bring you down, and as much as you care, you can't destroy yourself for the sake of someone else. You have to make your well being a priority. Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful-you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself"

"Fuck of, Julian. I am trying to sleep!", he is going to die a slow, painful death for waking me up at this ungodly hour. It probably isn't even 7:00 am yet, and he robbed me of my precious sleep.
"It's 12:58, wake up! Me and Leah made you breakfast, so get your lazy ass out of bed and down the stairs." 12:58, that isn't even really late. I hadn't even slept till 1:00pm.
"Ugh, fine. What's that smell though. Did you make breakfast? It smells like something is burning."
His eyes widened, "The waffles!". He ran of of the room and practically flew down the stairs.
I heard his voice, "Goddammit, Leah! You were supposed to make sure the waffles didn't burn."
"Sorry, I went to the bathroom because I accidentally cut my palm while cutting the strawberries. I was bandaging it up.", Leah's faint voice replied.
"Oh my god, are you okay!? Do I need to take you to the hospital!? Are you gonna die!? Let me check your pulse!" Overprotective brother mode was now active. The damn hospital for a cut on you palm, she didn't cut her hand off. I knew Leah, even though she is a bit naive and innocent, could take care of herself.
I reluctantly pulled myself out of bed, ignoring it's silent calls for me to get back in. I made the bed, then walked to bathroom. I brushed my teeth, the minty taste filling my mouth. Stepping in the shower, I relaxed under the hot water. I grabbed the shampoo and massaged it into my hair. It smelled like lemons. Letting the water touch my scalp and wash of all of the foamy shampoo out of my hair, I put some conditioner in my hair and washed my hair again. Lathering soap all over my body, and letting the water rinse it away. I stepped out of the shower, shivering, but felt clean. I grabbed the towel, wrapped it around myself, and walked into the closet. I picked out a short, black dress, and put it on.
I walked back into the bathroom to dry my hair. I grabbed the hair dryer and let the warm air evaporate the water in my hair until it was dry. I grabbed the hair brush and untangled all the knots in my hair. Afterwards, I reached to the top of my head and started braiding the hair. Doing that once on each side of my head, I secured the french braids with black hair ties. I put on some natural make up, tan colored eyeshadow, strawberry lip gloss, and mascara. I also slipped on a black choker to finish the look.
I turned the bathroom light off and headed down the stairs. The smell of burn waffles filled my lungs. "What's for breakfast?"
"Well, we made waffles, but I accidentally burnt them." Leah said.
"Oh, okay. We could go out to eat then?" I suggested. "Chick-fil-A, maybe?"
"Yes to Chick-fil-A", Julian loved Chick-fil-A. Leah also nodded in agreement. "Let's go, I'm starving."
Chick-fil-A probably wasn't the best breakfast option, but it was one of my favorite fast food places.
We walked to the door, and I put socks on. Then slipped on a pair of black Vans. After we got in the car, I connected my phone to the sound system of the car and played music. My playlist consisted of random stuff. Random, underrated music artists to popular, millionaire music artists. Boy bands and k-pop. Rock to pop. We pulled up to Chick-fil-A and walked in the doors.
"I've got to go to the bathroom, get me a milkshake, 8-piece chicken nuggets and a small fries." Just as Leah walked away, my boyfriend walked into the fast food restaurant. I remembered that e loved Chick-fil-A too. His eyes scanned the place and landed on me. Then he looked at Julian. My eyes widened, I knew what he was thinking. He was thinking that I was cheating on him with Julian.
"Hey I'm gonna go order. Same as Leah right, but large fries."
The possessive bastard that was supposed to be my kind and caring boyfriend always jumped to conclusions. He stalked over to me.
"What the hell are you doing over here, with some other dude. Alone. Wearing the revealing ass dress, you slut." He raised his hand to try and hurt me in some way, but then another guy, that I didn't know, at all, looking angry at what was going on, showed up. And let me tell you, this other dude was hot. I pinched myself. I was standing in front of my boyfriend, thinking another boy that I don't even know is hot.
but his platinum blonde hair, it looks so soft
No, don't think like that!
and his blue eyes, they look like the ocean, so beautiful
I pinched myself again and snapped out if it.
"And what the hell do you think you are doing raising your hand at a girl!"
