Take A Slice

The turning point

"Knight! What are you doing?!"

...

"Don't touch me." I put down my boundaries for the third time today. I tried to seem confident and tough, but I'm terrified. They were smug and overconfident, I just wanted to murder him. Or at least punch that smugness off their stupid face.

They didn't respond. Of course they didn't.

"You heard me? Don't touch me. I don't want to be touch by you."

"Thissssss again?"

"Yes again! I TOLD you not to touch me inappropriately, but you did so you can't touch me at all."

"You can't sssssstop me from doing sssssso." I snapped.

"Shut up Pitaya."

"I thought thissssss wassssss ssssupposssed to be professional?" I snapped.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! I WOULD MURDER YOU IF I COULD! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK."

Then I heard it.

"Knight! What are you doing?!" Oh fuck. I didn't even realize how loud I was.

"Sssseemssss like sssssomeonessss in trouble."

I raised my hand and slapped him across the face. I don't care anymore.

"Knight!" The familiar voice of Pistachio. Oh Pistachio. A past friend, but now... I'm not sure. I mean, ever since she became my superior, she kinda became rude and distant. It was weird, we didn't talk like friends or even as acquaintances. Even at work, she became a lot tougher and even made me faint from overworking myself when training.

She grabbed my shoulders and I turned around. "What's gotten into you?! I know you two have a history, but you should be over it by now! Let it go."

That stung. A lot. Not only because of the incidents, but because of all of the trauma from fighting Pitaya. I was in a goddamn coma for a month. I almost had to amputate my leg. I still have scars, physical and mentally. She was my friend at the time. She would have known how it was effected me.

I pushed by her and walked to the outside of the palace and onto the garden. I can feel the tears roll down my cheeks. God, I'm so pathetic. I should just melt away from existence. I sat down near the pond and just looked at myself from the reflection of the water from the pond.

God I'm so ruined. I don't have many friends, made tense relations or even enemies with my coworkers, I fucked up today, and I was even raped. Hell Princess dislike even being around me. I could even remember when I overheard Hollyberry being disappointed that people fought Pitaya, even stating that she thought that they knew better. And that was the biggest part of my career as a knight.

I guess I'm just that disappointing. I think I'll just go away. Quit my job and disappear from the face of Earthbread. Sounds like a plan.

I heard footsteps coming behind me.

"Knight! Don't think you can just run away from this!"

"Leave me alone Pistachio."

"No Knight, you must be reprimanded for such behavior."

"LEAVE ME ALONE."

"DONT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT. YOU WILL BE HEARING ANOUT THIS LATER WILL BE HEARING ABOUT THIS."

"FINE WITH ME! IM LEAVING ANYWAYS!" She look a bit shocked, but I couldn't care anymore. "At least I won't be here long." I mumbled. I don't think she hear.

I take my knight's badge and throw it at her, then I leave the garden. I don't need this hellish job anymore. I'm going to kill myself anyways. Tonight.
