I flick the volume dial up so my sobs are downed by the guitar solo.

I turn left and I find myself on the way to the beach.

Fuck everyone.

Fuck my life.

Fuck this.

Fuck it.

I run across the sand and my legs get soaked by the waves. I fall on my knees and cry.

Everything will be okay. We can leave this town. You have me and I have you.

But now I don't. I don't have you. You don't care if you don't have me.
