Damien:
I staggered back, my hand over my bloody nose. The throbbing pain was nothing like the one I felt deep down inside- the guilt that was slowly starting to eat me up. “Zo,” I choked. “Zo, I'm so sorry.”
I could feel my eyes welling up, the tears on the verge of falling.
Zöe was silently crying, soft tears spilling down her face. It was killing me, whenever someone hurts Zöe, I want to hurt them. I can't stand seeing her upset. But this time, it was me who made her upset in the first place.
Her hand was bloody from hitting me, but she didn't bother to wipe it, she just stared at me- like she didn't know who I was anymore. “Zöe, I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean a word of it-” Her tears were stopping and her stare was cold and icy.
“No, don't say that. Don't say you didn't mean a word of it; because that is a lie. You meant EVERY word of it, Damien. Because its true. You just said the worst things about me. The things that make me a bad person. The things that I HATE about myself, but I try to hide. The things that I expected other people to think. People who weren't my friends. But I never thought you'd think them.” She took a big breath. “But at least now I know what's been going through your head all these years. And it only took a mortal who I'm only friends with, for you to get it off your chest.” She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand furiously, her lip was quivering, and I thought I'd never seen her so vulnerable- or so beautiful.
“At least it's out there now. At least I know how you feel. Are you happy now? Relaxed? Satisfied?” I open my mouth but no sound came out. I wanted to grab her and hold her and tell her I love her. But I was still too stunned to move. “You know, I always knew that they'd be a day when I'd finally break. A day when I couldn't take it any more and I'd just... Crack.”
She looked me dead in the eye then, searching my face.
“But I just never ever thought that it would be you, Damien Grace, who did the breaking. And I never thought that at the age of only fifteen I would feel this hopeless, this horrible and this broken.” And then she was gone. And i was crying.
