You feel like you've been ripped from reality. No, I can't, please don't. That's all you can think before your mind empties and you're dropped back into reality. You swallow you feel your heart pumping out of your mouth, the ground almost sways beneath you, whether that was the alcohol or the past, you don't know.

"Well?" Wednesday asks, her voice splashed with concern? That didn't stop your hands from trembling, even as you closed them. Your throat tightens again as you manage to Croke "Nothing, I'm just tired."

"No."

"What?"

"No. You look like a deer caught in headlights when I asked."

"I'm just-"

"No. The truth." Your heart began to beat louder like your head was stuck in a bass drum beating a million miles an hour, even as your heart begins to shatter and flashes of the past crashed through the seams of your mind.

"Wednesday..." you say forcing yourself to meet her eyes.

"Oh..." her expression drops, as tears burn your eyes.

"What did they do-"

"I can't do this!" You snap in a half-hushed voice, tearing your eyes away from Wednesday

"But-I'm- You? Please."

"This was a bad idea, I'm sorry. You can't get too close" Your brain was now screaming at you, as you rip your heart from your chest. You look up at Wednesday, she looked how you felt. there were even tears in her eyes. She sniffed. "Ok" her bottom lip trembling as much as her voice.

Tears finally spill from your eyes. "I'm sorry" You turn and walk in the other direction, not knowing where to go or where you were going. leaving Wednesday standing in the dark.

As soon as you felt Wednesday's gaze fall off you, you ran. You just ran, you don't know for how long or where. The cold wind licked at your face like it was punishing you, it scratched at your salty tears, carving a trail of pain in your face, tree branches clawed at your arms and face it all felt the same. Numb.

Your legs finally give out and your body meets the ground hard, you can't breathe, your whole body screams in pain. You want to scream. Just to drown out the world and the pain inside riping at your very insides. You feel the cold soft earth below you as you sobbed, tears staining the earth. "Please make it stop." you run your fingers through your hair, before inclosing on the roots and pulling at your hair. Holding your breath, tugging at them hard, holding your breath. You finally cry out and let go of your hair. you open your tear-stained eyes and see the forest around you. It's quiet, at peace. "How can the world be so at peace when I feel." you stop, still sobbing, taking a breath, the air like knives in your lungs. "When I feel like, pain, and hate." the words seem to get hitched on your tongue. "Like I should be dead" you whisper to yourself.

You close your eyes once more. letting the tears fall from your face. You feel the earth beneath you like it's calling you. The cold and damp doesn't feel so unwelcoming. you sigh, you imagine the earth cradling you in her arms, letting you cry as she rocks you back and forth until the world around you slowly seeps away. And it does.

It's just you now
