Book of One Shots

THE MEROME

Ever since I could remember,

Everything inside of me,

Just wanted to fit in

•Jerome•

"Please! Stop! You're hurting me!" I yelled as another punch was landed on my face. 'Why does everyone hate me?' I had wondered. I was hoping that as I got older, things would get easier. They hadn't.

• • •

I was never one for pretenders,

Everything I tried to be,

Just wouldn't settle in

• • •

I always tried to be like them. Act cool, even though I knew it wasn't me. I laughed at the fact now. I glanced down at my scarred arms. They were slashed, but healed now. Only scars...

• • •

If I told you what I was,

Would you turn your back on me?

• • •

The one person who I loved. The one person that was all to me. The one person I kept living for. He was gone. Just like all of the others. He left me. I glanced back down to my arms.

• • •

And if I seem dangerous,

Would you be scared?

• • •

'They would be scared of me now,' I thought. I got tough and strong since 7th grade, even if I still cut. They would be scared...

• • •

I get the feeling just because,

Everything I touch isn't dark enough

If this problem lies in me

• • •

"Hah..." I laughed. I really was going insane wasn't I? I held the knife in my shaky hand. "Who is going to miss me?" I thought out loud. No one.

• • •

I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me.

I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.

A monster, a monster,

I've turned into a monster.

A monster, a monster,

And it keeps getting stronger...

• • •

'Jerome! Don't!' A voice in my head said to me. No. It growled. It was my inner conscience. It was the evil side of me.

• • •

Can I clear my conscience,

If I'm different from the rest,

Do I have to run and hide?

• • •

"Shut up! I'm sick of this! I'm sick of having to hide from people!" I yelled out to no one.

• • •

I never said that I want this,

This burden came to me,

And it's made it's home inside

• • •

"I didn't want this! I didn't ask for any of this pain! Now it won't stop..."

• • •

If I told you what I was,

Would you turn your back on me?

• • •

I growled in frustration. "Mitch..." Mumbled. He's gone. He doesn't love me anymore...

• • •

And if I seem dangerous,

Would you be scared?

• • •

It's almost night now. I put the knofe down.

• • •

I get the feeling just because,

Everything I touch isn't dark enough

If this problem lies in me...

• • •

When night falls, I'm taking everyone with me. To hell.

• • •

I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me.

I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.

A monster, a monster,

I've turned into a monster,

A monster, a monster,

And it keeps getting stronger...

• • •

This time the voice didn't stop me as I grabbed black clothes and threw them on. It didn't stop me as I ran out the door, knife in hand. Mitch's voice never stopped me.

• • •

I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,

I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.

A monster, a monster,

I've turned into a monster,

A monster, a monster,

And it keeps getting stronger...

• • •

I ran out the door, ready to kill. I walked down the dark pathway, evil grin present on my face.

"Hah...I'm completely insane now. Right?!" I screamed out to no one and continued walking. When I got to the end. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Mitch?!" I screamed with happiness and doubt. That suddenly changed to anger.

"You! You did this to me!" I yelled, gaining on him. He look dead straight into my eyes.

"Jerome, please. You dot have to do this! I never wanted to leave you! I wanted to stay!"

I stopped. He never wanted to leave. I guess he saw the weakness and he started to walk towards me. I raised my knife.

"That's bullshit," I said. Then I ran straight to him, dropping the knife and grabbing him by the throat. He didn't scream. He was so taken aback of what I became. I held him against the wall, slowly increasing my grip on his neck as I did so.

"Please...Jerome...I..." He gasped.

"You fucking what?!" I screamed. He was crying now.

"I-I...love...you..." And with that I released my grip, immediately curling up into a ball on the ground and cried. Just to hear those words again. He knelt down besides me.

"I won't ever leave you again," and he put his arms around me. We stayed like that for what felt like forever. Him trying to comfort me and I crying into his shoulder. 'I'm finally excepted' I thought.
