[welcome to more red-as-a-metaphor]
Three months. That's how long it's been since they all cut contact with me... even she did.
I've been so alone, even in my own home... my parents hate me because of how 'rowdy' I am, and how much I get into trouble at school.
They're probably congratulating my sister on some small bullshit or whatever, I never really pay attention to her anyways. She's their golden child.
And I'm the other one.
But with my friends, I was Maple. We all managed perfectly fine for a while, until Liy...
I miss them all. I miss them all so much. I miss when the seven of us could all hang out together, it let me ignore all my problems.
But most of all... I miss her.
She was the first I opened up to about my whole... family, and she listened to every word I said, and comforted me.
She kept me alive for so much longer than I would've been without her.
"I miss you..."
To be honest... I knew I was in love with her almost from the beginning.
Maybe it was the hair.
Maybe it was the eyes.
Maybe it was the wings.
Maybe it was the face.
Maybe it was the smile.
Maybe it was the personality.Either way, I... loved her so much more than Marker ever will... right?
I glanced to my left, recalling times we'd be here together, and I'd vent about the favortism. And she'd listen.
"Wha-"
She was there, seemingly faking a smile. But something was off... her wrists were red.
"Potato, what happened to-"
Why... why were my hands red?
"Did... did I do this...?"
No response... she wasn't even saying a word, just smiling. What... what did it all mean...?
Wait... right...
I never knew what love was... I never got any from my parents.
I always thought that love meant that your partner would do anything for you, if you wanted them to.
That's... how it was for me, at least.
Was my perception of love... hurting her?
Was I... why her wrists were red?
I drove them all away, just by showing what I thought love was.
I ruin everything just by being there.
I probably can't even make it up to them all now, can I?
Other than wallowing away in my own guilt... I want to take it all back.
But would I deserve it...? No, no. I wouldn't... I don't deserve anything.
Not even sympathy or pity.
I deserve this, being the awful person I am.
"I'M SORRY!"
I feel like a monster.
