EVAN

I fell asleep in the bathroom while sitting on the floor. My cheeks weren't damp anymore but my eyes were swollen. I stood up and glanced up at the tiny window in the bathroom. It was morning. I looked at my reflection through the mirror. I looked horrible. Maybe, it's just the mirror. I accidentally cracked the mirror last night.

I injured myself in the process. I stared at my hands and noticed that I wasn't bleeding anymore. The bruises were still there. Such a shame. Maybe I could have just slashed my wrist so I don't have to worry about anything.

I can't go out like this. My thoughts were interrupted when the doorknob jiggled, followed by a series of knocks. A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts. "Evan? I need to use the toilet! Hey? Evan?!" I glanced at the mirror and shook my head. I can't let anyone see me like this. "Evan? Hey? Evan?! Hey?! I really need to use it!"

I stood there while staring at the door. I honestly don't give a damn now. Who cares? It's not my problem. "Evan?! Please open the door! I-I..Hey?!" If my existence isn't worthy of existing, why should I be living at all? I'm just wasting my energy just to go back to the place I call 'hell'. "EVAN, THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ANY BULLSHIT! I NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM NOW!"

I shrugged and opened the door. I rush out of the bathroom and went outside of the cabin, not even bothering to close the door. I stood there outside, waiting for something to happen. Where's the twins? Can they cut my life right now? Where are they when I need them?

I looked at the trees in front of me. The sunlight penetrated through the leaves of the trees as if saying that there's always hope in every time the day comes. But I felt anything but hopeful. What's there to hope when there's no purpose of existing? I've been thinking a lot last night. My mind bothered me throughout the sleepless night.

The trees that surrounds the cabin were so tall that it  seems as if I'm being treated as inferior

The trees that surrounds the cabin were so tall that it  seems as if I'm being treated as inferior. It was reminding me of how big the world is and that I'm not the ruler of my own path. Things might seem peaceful right now but everything that my eyes sees are facades. Deceiving and inviting but behind that, it's dangerous. Just like how I wear a mask to hide what I feel.
