DYLAN POV

I didn't know what got into me. I was perfectly under control before.

But the moment I see them,

With their arms wrapped over each other's shoulders,

And to see Hideki almost late to class with him, even though he's never late to class.

I feel this dark and hideous monster cloud my sight,

Controlling my actions, leading me to the wrong ending.

I say things I never want to say,

I never wanted to call him a coward, an asshole for leaving me hanging

I don't want to pretend he doesn't exist

Nor do I want to shoot him dirty looks from time to time.

But, part of me wants him to suffer, to feel my pain and love I've been holding in since our childhood.

I know it's going to make our friendship even worse than it is now, I don't even know if we can be called 'friends' now.

But all I know is that he now has a new friend, my replacement.

And he's now afraid of me. I'm not dumb, I've been with him since we were born and I know those expressions when I see them.

It's not exactly him who is the asshole isn't it?

It's me.
