Marshall's POV (yes i do his pov a lot so wat)

I can't believe you did that...

So judged.

You made me re-live it.

We're just freaks now.

I kept my arms crossed, keeping me a bit warm. Dragging footsteps trailed behind me. I stopped. He stopped in front of me. I fell to the ground, and sat down. Thunder shook the sky. I was judged so hard. By everyone.

I looked up at him. His back faced me. Lightning lit up the sky, showing his clenched fists.

"This was a mistake." He said, quietly. I froze. I hope he didn't mean... our relationship. I looked down. He sighed.

"Telling everyone. They... they judged us..." He said. I looked down, putting my hands on my thighs.

"Fuck!" He cursed. I felt a lump in my throat.

We were judged. Badly. I felt horrible.

I'm a freak.

I let out a choked noise by accident. Thunder silenced it. I clutched my pants. I heard him turn around and face me.

The first drop of rain hit my head. I took shaky breaths. Then it all came pouring down. My hair soaked down into my face. I glared up at him. Rain made his hair fall in his face too.

"Marshall. I'm sorry." That rang in my ears over and over.

Marshall. I'm sorry.

Marshall.

I'm sorry.

I felt tears and rain spill over my cheeks. I heard a little thump over the rain. I glared up. He was on his knees. His head in his hands.

"I've fucked everything up." He said coldly. I felt my clothes stick to my cold skin. I clenched my fists.

"They... they hate me. They all hate me. They hate us." I felt a sick feeling in my stomach. I just wanted to curl up and die. But we all know that couldn't happen.

"We're a fucking disgrace to them." He said. I wish he'd stop saying that. It's making me feel worse about myself. I lifted up my shirt. I looked at my scars.

"You're a /freak!/"

"You fags!"

"Fuckin' disgrace! Weirdos!"

The insults stained my mind. Who knew such sweet candy people could be so cruel.

"STOP!" I screamed over the pouring rain and shaking thunder. I couldn't help it. I had to scream. He was making me feel worse. I know he was broken too, but he wasn't helping. He sobbed violently. I stared at him. Just when I thought my heart couldn't break anymore... I crawled to him. He pulled me to him as soon as I was in reach. We cried into each others shoulders.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year...

Our wet skin touching, our broken lives embracing. I clutched the back of his shirt.

"Why can't anything go right anymore." I finally said. I heard him whimper at the pain in my voice. He bawled into my chest. I kept my arms around him tightly.

"They k-... kicked me out." He stuttered. My mouth was right by his ear.

"What..?" I whispered. He clutched onto my shirt, and choked out a cry.
