Not many people understand when I tell them that I have fallen into a deep and fulfilling, yet empty love with Malum...
What's wrong with me?
Lolz...

Dear Friend,

Ash and Luke, they left for America.

I cried.

But I'm still so fucking happy for them, ya know?

Calum's been checking in on me lately - like, a lot.

I'm holding him back.  He shouldn't be worrying about me.  He should focus on getting his GED.

But, one of the most unexpected things happened the other day.  I visited my dad at his hotel room.  Yeah, he didn't seem all too happy about my presence, but at least I know that he still exists.

At least I know that not everything in this world is a lie.

He seemed stressed.  I wish that I could be with him, you know, Friend?  I wanna be with my father.

But I don't think that he wants me there - not really.

No one really wants me, anymore.

And it's okay, I guess...

I mean, I don't even want myself - if that makes any sense?

I just don't even know, anymore, Friend.

Every time I shower, I burn.  It makes me feel better, in some twisted way...

The burn marks keep adding up, but I'm okay with that.  I know that I shouldn't do it, but who would care, anyway?  I mean - hell, I don't even care.

Why should I expect someone else to?

I'm sure you care, Friend.  But, you're just a book, now aren't you...

No offense.  But, I still do have to tell you everything.  I think it keeps me sane.  Friend, you keep stupid, little me sane.

How does that feel?

My clothes are getting bigger.  Though, I'm probably just washing them wrong.  Hell, I still can't hardly even use the fucking washer.

I'm just stupid like that.

Ash and I still text, regardless of the time zones.

Guess what...

Ashton and Luke are now officially boyfriends.  I think that is like the greatest thing ever.

Calum even thinks it's awesome that our best friends are dating.

The other day, I found a shirt.  It's Calum's.  And for some reason - I wear it.  It makes me feel safe, you know?  I was surprised that it wasn't too tight or something like that.

Wow...

Just, wow...

I'm weird, I guess.
