Pity

I watched the rain pour from outside my window.
Streak after streak of rain.
I could hear it splattering on the roof, very rhythmic and synchronized.

You did this to yourself.

No i didn't.
I wrung my hands. What 'she's' saying is true. I really did do this to myself.
I looked at the locked door, and i saw my father's eyes through the tiny slit at the top.
His eyes, such a shocking blue; so unlike my own; were filled with pity.

"Don't feel sorry for me..."

His eyes quickly left the slit.
"I'm not. I wouldn't say the same about your mother though."

A pair of stormy grey eyes took my father's place in the slit of the door.
"Juniper..."

I looked away. I didn't want her to see me like this.
I dont want her pity.
Their pity.
The worlds Pity.

You did this to yourself. Remember that.
