"You've been gone for three years and now you want to just come back as if nothing happened?" Elijah speaks lowly, standing up, fist balled up tightly at his sides. As he continues though, his voice grows louder. "Well, we don't need you!"
"Eli I-" Kaz silently moves behind me, placing a comforting hand on my lower back.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He screams, slamming his fist against the table making Kamari jump. "Don't fucking call me that!"
Stunned into silence, I stare at him, my arms hanging limply at my sides. He looks me dead in my eyes for what's very possibly the first time since I've been here.
"I wish it was you who died, it should have been you," He says, breathlessly, his voice breaking near the end, and then he rushes up the stairs.

Just a few words I called a sentence and a few sentences I called a paragraph. How was I supposed to know that it would turn out like this. What even was this? I was him. He was me. We were...we? "How can I be you!" I shouted in panic. This wasn't making sense. He? Me? We're...us? "Because I'm you." He answered calmly and my mouth dropped open. Wait, what? "How can you be me and I, you?" I bellowed, confused. This was way too much for the little brain cells I had left. "You're a boy!" "Okay, now that's just being sexist."
