'@IDontEvenKnowAnymore: Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.'

Benny's POV

I woke up feeling good, feeling happy. However, all those feeling were drowned when i remembered my meeting with Steven. Does he really want me gone? I sighed, checking my phone.

I opened twitter and read through some of my mentions, most of which were cute little tweets. One came across my eye.

@RayOfLarry: Why do you keep trying? You've already fucked up your career enough, stop attention seeking.    

What? It was in response to one of my tweets, so I took a look.

Oh no.

One of the tweets that I meant to post on my secret account I had posted on my public one. Oh no. This can't happen. Oh my god.

@imbenendict: Maybe one day you'll see what you did. You played me in your sick little game and you won. I'm done.

I groaned and slammed my fist on my bed. Why is it always me?  I deleted it as fast as I could.

I exited the app and looked around the rest of my phone. I had a text.

It was from Steven, I almost laughed as I read it. 'We need to talk.'

 I smiled and began to type back, 'more like shout, when you're there.'

I knew it was a bitchy comment and that I was letting my anger get the best of me, but I didn't care. I've become numb. Numb to any sort of feeling.

I logged on to my other twitter, hoping @IDontEvenKnowAnymore had messaged me. She has a beautiful name, but I've become so used to seeing her twitter on the screen that I forgot that she is a real person and called Juliette, who actually lived very close though I can never meet her. I regret lying about my identity. She thinks I work in Walmart from 9-5 and don't get paid nearly enough.

@IDontEvenKnowAnymore: hey

@YouWouldntBelieveMe: hey kiddo

@IDontEvenKnowAnymore: jfc what a horrible word

@YouWouldntBelieveMe: theres nothing wrong with calling someone kiddo, kiddo

@IDontEvenKnowAnymore: it's what a fifty year old would say as part of his love affair with a 22 year old.

@YouWouldntBelieveMe: could we keep the inappropriate winking to a bare minimum we've only known each other 4 weeks.

@IDontEvenKnowAnymore: a lot can happen in four weeks ;)

@YouWouldntBelieveMe: whatever floats your boat, kiddo ;).
