"...Got me losing my shit, got me losing my grip..."
It's been four days. Four days since Mahika sent him those messages, four days since she got kidnapped and four days since Achilles lost his mind.
Pulling at his hair as he paced back and forth in the dark, he tried to think where to she could be, but all he felt was guilt. He shouldn't have left her at the concert by herself otherwise Mahika would be in his arms right now.
Going into his bathroom hé frantically searched through his medicine cabinet before grabbing the orange bottle.
Pouring five white pills into his mouth, Achilles swallowed them all hoping to get rid of the taunting voices and physical pain he was feeling in his chest.
"Fuck." Throwing back three more pills, he swished them around his mouth before swallowing them and gagging at the bitter taste.
You tryna overdose! You tryna get rid of us!? You can't Achilles, we're apart of you!
Shaking his head vigorously to get rid of his dads voice,Achilles looked into the mirror to see a fucked up nigga who's life has been going down hill since he was born.
Why do you continue to drag this girl along!
Leave her alone!
She doesn't need you!
You don't love her!
"I do..." his voice cracked, something about his dad yelling at him always broke Achilles since he was younger. When all he wanted was love from his parents, he got the opposite hate and disgust. "I...I love Mahika-."
What the fuck is love son!? Huh, explain that shit to me!? You love her!? Tell me what it is!
Swallowing hard,Achilles continued to stare into the mirror. "Love is...Love...L-Love..." his voice broke into small sobs once he realised he couldn't give a brief definition of the simple word. Growing frustrated, he punched the sink counter, leaving a dent. "I can't explain this shit cause you and mama never loved me! NEVER!"
Because you're nothing!
Worthless!
A sorry excuse for a human being!
Incapable of loving or being loved!
