Chapter 71:

it's her.Words: 640

being me means to

lie smiling in my bed

watching netflix and feeling totally happy by myself

until I

suddenly

listen to your laughter in my head

and my desk is begging me to write about the sound

so

being me means to

feel totally fulfilled

until I

write your name without using any letters

and

all I can think of is searching for liquor to numb my pain

I write about one and a half pages

and already have scratches on my arms

it's as if

your sickness is escaping my body

but

how can this change so fast?

I was doing so good and

now the blood is rushing through my ears and all I can do is breathe until your horror is leaving me alone again
