breathe

kyle yelled at me.

it was out of the blue, we had been getting along the whole week we had been there.

he said they didn't like me. he said i made things worse.

i didn't understand, i got scared. his words and tone were terrifying.

loud noises were terrifying.

i was quick to run out of the cabin, pushing past poor daniel. my breathing was ragged, but that didn't stop me from sprinting as fast as i could.

until i couldn't breathe at all.

i collapsed near the shower building; my shoulder hitting the painted cement sharply.

my lungs hurt, my shoulder hurt, my heart hurt.

im pathetic. no wonder he said i made 'it' worse. im a joke. and now im going to die because i can't breathe.

breathe
breathe
breathe

i continued to repeat that in my head, eyes closed.
