god. how obvious can it be at this point?
cant be obvious enough, apparently.
at this point, he knew. he knew that he was 'useless'.
he knew that he wasnt supposed to be there.
but the thing is...he didnt want to leave.
he didnt want to leave the two people who had stayed beside him his entire life.
he didnt want to leave them; they cared. he knew that.
but...something was telling him that...gah, he didnt know.
but...what if...
what if nobody really cared.
what if it was just an act.
why was he even thinking this?
he never thinks this- he knows the other two care.
he knows.
but...something was going on in his mind.
the fact that he really mightve been useless.
the fact he really wasnt supposed to be there.
his presence was a mistake.
just like what smithy kept saying. over and over. and over. AND OVER.
useless.
mistake.
unimportant.
weak.
wait.
why was he crying?
tears were just spilling out.
why?
that doesnt happen.
he usually takes the name-calling and accepts it. doesnt get upset about it- just accepts it.
but today, it wasnt happening.
why?
why??
thank god everyone else in the room was asleep.
well, he hoped.
everything just felt as if it were toppling over.
it felt as if everything was true. he was a mistake. he was useless.
well, the fact he wasnt supposed to be there was true.
but he had never believed that he was useless.
but tonight, its...all he could think of.
why?
he could leave right there and then.
just go.
leave everybody.
leave the constant name-calling.
leave the tension.
leave...the best people he had ever met.
he didnt want to.
but he wanted to at the same time.
the name-calling was getting too much.
itd happened a bit too much this week.
why!?
WHY!?
WHY was it happening so often all of a sudden?
WHY was the emotional pain becoming physical pain, too?

WHY was the hammer being brought into the situation?
WHY was it only happening to him in particular?
well, it was happening to the other two as well, but...but...
but...
ahhh..
the choked sobs got louder- he didnt even know.
what the fuck was even happening?
this wasnt normal.
he didnt usually think like this.
or is it just because its night?
just because nobody was awake to hear?
just because it got a bit too much?
just beca-...
"bowyer?"
he gasped.
"are you okay?"
