"Why are you acting like this?" 
"Acting like what? I'm living."
"By ruining everyone else's life in the mean time. Do I even mean a damn thing to you anymore?" His voice is like sandpaper, scratching across the deepest part of my soul, but he's partially right. 

I don't care. 

I haven't cared in a long time. 

I just don't understand why he can never take a hint . . . Is it really that hard? 

I shift my weight from my left side to the right, my arms are crossed defensively over my abdomen as I try and take in all that's been said before hand. Not to mention, I need to learn how to explain things better . . .Right?  

Obviously I am not doing such an amazing job at that one, either. 

"I haven't ruined anyone's life, Adam. I'm finally realizing who I am . . . And I love it. I wish you could be the same." I say, finally loosening my posture up. 
"Right. I'm not anyone--Because I don't matter. Because our future doesn't mean shit to you." 
"I wish you the best, Adam. I really do, but I don't think we have a future anymore."
