Deception & Depression

|8|

"Its time to get up" Michael comes in barley awake

"Just leave me here to die" I say in a grumble

All I feel is the bed go down on my right side

I flip over and see that Michael laid down and is softly snoring

I shrug and flip back over

"You two will be the death of me" mom comes in and hollers "get up or you'll be late"

In unison Michael an I make noises and sit up

"We could skip" I shrug

"Oh baloney, get up"

I laugh at what he said

Then I lay back down when I hear my door shut and moms car start

My alarm goes off and the song Wires by the Neighbourhood

Instantly my breathing hitches

"Stop hollering" I try to plead with Joe

"Fuck you! I never wanted anything to do with you I hate you you are such a whore autumn I'm so done with you" he screams at me and pushes me down

"Joe what did I do" I scream infuriated

"You let another guy touch you, you slut" his words sting my body

"Wha-what? Who when? What the hell are you talking about?" I scream blindsided and confused

"Last week, Axel" is all he says

"Who told you that? Last week at that fucking party?" I scream back

"Yes, the one I told you not to go to!" His voice echoes through his room

"I was there but I wasn't with Axel! He was with Maggie you dumbass you know that they're dating right?  did Sammy tell you that I was with him?" I say pushing him

"Wait what?" He says quiet

"Yeah, Sammy has been trying to get back with me and I've said no cause I fucking love you" I say harsh then correct myself "loved"

"I didn't mean-"

"No just stop" I say listening to the music playing as I rub temples

I laugh as the song plays Wires was our song

"Coincidence" I say pissed

"Our song" he smiles searching my face

"I- i should go" I say stressed

"No don't" he says putting his hand in front of me

I wince at his touch

"Dont touch me Joe" I say pushing his arm away

"Man stop" he yells again and grabs my arms tightly

"Joe get the fuck off me were done I'm not doing this anymore. You don't get jealous you get pissed and hurt me it's not okay I'm done" I scream at his face

His face drops

"You're done?" He says not expected of what happened

"You knew the game and played it" I quote "our song" as a tear falls

"But-"

I don't give him time to finish as I walk out of the door.

When I come back to reality the song finishes as if on cue
