knowing the kids from yesterday

01

It all happened so quickly.

One moment I was laying in bed, crying into my pillow with my earphones in listening to my favourite band My Chemical Romance.

One moment I was choking on my own tears, clenching my fists as I looked out the window to see the heavy downpour of rain outside, turning up the volume to full blast in order to drown out the muffled noises of my stepfather banging on my bedroom door, screaming at me to let him in.

And then I wished.

I wished for what seemed like the millionth time, that I could leave this planet. Get up and go out of this shitty life with my abusive stepfather and negligent mother.

And then, you fell asleep.
