As Xara walks out under the sunlight, she believes it's the beginning of a brand new life. A life, filled with light, freedom and other people; a life, where nothing seems to be able to go wrong.
But, of course, life has it's own plans.
And when Xar...

Xara's POV.
"X-Xara?"
I pressed my hands to my ears and took a deep breath, my pace speeding up. No. I couldn't do it! I couldn't do it anymore. My heart, which I had been trying so hard to keep together, to save from breaking to pieces, now shattered, and with every breath, with every step I took it was more and more injured.
I couldn't do it. I... I failed.
"Xara, wait!"
Romeo's warm hand grabbed me shoulder and a second before I realised it, a second before my mind could even give my body any command at all, something made me yank my shoulder out.
Stop it. Stop it. I-I couldn't play pretend anymore! I couldn't let my friend act as if he cared, I couldn't put him through the torture of having to constantly be around someone who he despised the most! Just... Stop! Why couldn't he stop and tell me the truth already?! Why was he making everything so difficult?!
"P-please, Xara, hold on!" My roommate - I couldn't call him my friend now, could I? - rushed to catch up with me and I had to speed up as well, my heart crying out in both my and his agonies combined. "What are you doing? Wh-what's going on?!"
He sounded... Scared. Legitemately scared. I forced my feet to stop walking and took a deep breath, glaring at the sand under my feet as it was guilty of everything that happened around me.
Right. Yes. I-I was probably supposed to tell him that I knew all about his hatred, right? I was supposed to allow him to stay as far from me as he wanted, safe in knowlege that I would still vouch for him to that John Doe monster.
Yes. Oh damn, how had I been so selfish?! I had known he despised me, he loathed me, and I still forced him to pretend like he cared?! Stupid. Selfish. Arrogant. Rude. There-there weren't even words that could describe how much I wanted myself to die that moment!
"Stop it." A bitter whisper was everything I could let out. "Just... Stop. You-you're free now. You don't have to pretend anymore. I... I know."
"Wait, Xara, what?" Romeo asked from behind me although he clearly tried to stay away from me. Something gnawed on my insides. He really couldn't stand being beside me, huh? "I-I don't understand... What do you mean? Wh-what do you kno-"
