Aphmau's POV
Wasted. Time. Just forget about it Aphmau... I headed out to check on the guys in the guard tower. When I made it to the top I saw Laurence and Dante but.. No Garroth? " Where is Garroth?" I asked trying to stay completely calm...  Laurence was about to say something stupid I bet because Dante elbowed him in the chest and said ".. We haven't seen him since we saw him kissing that.... Stranger... I know her somehow... I think my brother Gene told me something about her..." Laurence was still gasping for air then he said " Sorry... Maybe ask Zoey or... " I nodded and went down the ladder. I ran to my house and opened the door slightly. Malachi and Levin were asleep. I carefully opened the door and started to head downstairs to find Zoey. " Zoey? Have you seen Garroth lately.?" She bit her lip as she always does when she doesn't know what to say. She thought for a moment.... " I'm sorry Aphmau I haven't seen him in a while. I haven't seen him for a week.... " I frowned and went to my room.. I lied down and started to listen to music...

"I would react badly

To the slightest hint of hesitance
He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood
No word from his defense

I'd cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Pushed every little button
But the right one that would let me in

Now he's afraid of me
He's afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

I made changes that went unnoticed
Sang songs for deaf ears
He mistook my silence for punishment
As it had been all these years
I'd cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin

Now he's afraid of me
He's afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I-

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault"

..... " He acted out.... Now I can see it is my fault...." I repeated.  It was my fault.... Why did I ever come to- Everything went BLACK.
