I can feel him.

He's not touching me, but I can feel him.
I can feel his arms wrapped around my neck, hugging me.

Just like what he's doing to Petunia. He's in love with her, isn't he?

It's strange, he's only been around her for maybe three hours....and he's already hooked.

She must really be something, eh?

....

I don't see what's so special about her, if anything, I think she's weird.
But....
I guess Parker is allowed to love whoever, it was never my decision.
Hell, I'm the one who came up with this idea! I thought that maybe....just maybe if he finally had someone, that.... horrible feeling in my chest would go away.

Oh, how wrong I was....
It only got worse.

I was near, camera in my hand, waiting for the two of them to talk about something interesting....

Then things started to get weird.

For example, Parker would...you know, simply touch Petunia on the arm every now and then, it was most likely a comfort thing....

But then I would also feel it. It would totally feel like his hand was on my arm, pressure and everything.

At first I thought nothing of it, maybe it was just an anxiety thing? I've always been on edge whenever we invite things into our own home that originally came from the dark web.

Unfortunately, the feeling started to get more extreme. Soon I was able to feel the embrace of a hug Parker was giving Petunia in a room away from me. It was weird! Like...it was nice, yeah, but also WHY?!

I'm already sad over Parker actually liking that girl, so why do I suddenly have to feel the affection I'm missing out on as well?

This is torture!

.....

I went to Parker's room to check in on him, he's been with that girl for a while.

I knocked on the door a few times, no response....then, he started blasting music.
Great.

I feel selfish. I'm attempting to intrude on their "date" because I'm.....

I'm jealous, aren't I?

When I was thinking about kicking the door open, I suddenly felt a rather warm sensation on my lips.

It was...nice.
But where was it coming from....?

Oh.
Oh....I see.
They were....
...
Oh.

I turned off the camera after I started to look noticeably sad. Parker would most likely be editing this footage, it's not worth explaining to him why I sound and look so gloomy in it.

Nothing was worth it anymore.

The warmness on my lips refused to leave, so I just let the feeling consume the rest of me as I sunk my body down to the floor, leaning my back against his bedroom door.

That warm feeling was nice...
but it didn't belong to me.
It wasn't directed to me.
He wasn't kissing me.

He will never love me, at least not in the way I want him to.
He has Petunia now....he didn't need me anymore.

But my god, did I need him.

I would do anything to make this pain stop...

Even if it meant breaking the two of them apart.
