A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages"
THURSDAY, MAY 9TH:
Townies, it's our last day of school. The Darcy kids are throwing a party tonight to kick off the summer of champions. You're gonna wanna be there... Never a good idea to miss a Darcy party.
I excitedly entered the familiar Darcy Residence with a big smile on my face. I have been here many times before some of these memories I was fond of others I rather bury deep inside of my heart.
"Drinks ?",Tristan asked me.
"I though I was a terrible drunk ?",I said snappy. He laughed at that "You are right",he said. I pulled a face.
"I am going to socialise,you get drunk or something. I am being responsible adult for today",I told him.
"Thank you sister",he said and with that disappeared.
I wanted him to have fun,and of course Tristan was one of my dearest friends but I wanted to find Holden and Tristan couldn't stand him and me together,so Tristan had to go.
I spotted Holly from a mile away "Holly .Holly",I yelled. She turned around and she gave me the sort of "Who are you again" look.
"It's me Arya",I said excited. She squinted a little but a smile briefly flashed over her face but just briefly.
"Yeah I remember you. We sat next to each other in all through middle school right?",she said. I nodded happily.
"You moved away to New York,didn't you ?",she asked me. I nodded again " Do you not remember that time you came down to Jenna Ma's birthday? We spend in hour together trying to get in the bathroom",I said trying to trigger her memory. She looked at me confused.
"I vaguely recall that",she said. I was kind of disappointed by that response but I kept on smiling.
"Anyways it's nice to see you again",I proceeded and finally here she gave me an actual smile.
We then preceded to talk about random things,a little about New York but not much she seemed a little uncomfortable about that subject,the conversation ended swiftly after that and escaped. I don't know if I had done anything wrong. But I like Holly. Hopefully we could become friends.
"Arya",I heard a voice call me,My face lit up in an instant when I saw Holden coming my direction.
"Holden",i said happily and run into his arms. He hugged me tightly and picked me up to swirl me around. It was one of our many childish ways.
He put me down and pulled me face close to his.
"I have missed this stupid face",he whispered. And scrunched up my nose and grinned. I kissed his nose ,quickly as if I had stolen something with a mischievous grin plastered on my face.
"I have missed you so much more Holden Darcy",I replied. He put his arm around me and we wandered around the party finding a place to talk.
"How long have you been in town ?",Holden asked me while sipping on some beer.
"A couple of days",I replied. He looked offended.
"And you did not bother to find me? To contact me ? I thought I was your favourite person",I said.
I felt something in me. It kind of hurt. I didn't know what it was but this pain happened often with Holden.
"What gave you that idea ?",I said trying to be cheeky. He laughed at my response. He brushed strand of my hair behind my ears.
"Do you really want me to say it out loud,what gave you away ?,he said. I went bright red. He was amused by that and laughed again. I looked away.
"I am going to be right back,kiddo. Stay put",he said and disappeared into the crowds of people. I watched him walk away from me. I always watch him walk away from me.
15 minutes later and Holden has still not returned. I stood there starting to feel stupid. And silly but most of all I felt horrible about myself. This always happens with him but I can't help myself. I bit my lip, I was growing more anxious. He was not returning to me, because I wasn't important. I decided to sit down ,so I plonked myself next to a tall ,tanned girl who was downing something. "Hi,I am Arya",I introduced myself. If we were going to share the couch might as well make friends with her. She looked at me taken aback at first with my hand offering to shake hers but she took the offer. She looked at me and then responded " I'm Amari",she said and I smiled brightly only for her face to respond to that smile.
Amari then proceeded to tell me about herself and I told her all about my grand plans of the summer.I let out my plan to get with Holden to me but I told her everything else. I was starting to become very fond of her. She seemed like the type of girl I could spend all summer with making fun of people and break into old abandon houses with. Her phone started buzzing but she did not respond at first "Your phone",I said.
She looked bewildered before retrieving the phone to check who it is. She had a strange look on her face and I decided that perhaps I should go ,so I did.
I started to feel more and more upset about Holden disappearance and usually I would go and find Tristan and get drunk and have a good old time but I just felt shitty.
I decided to head for the door ,I needed some air and clear my head.
I sat on those familiar steps just outside the door,like I have done so many times before. Contemplating why I was doing this to myself. Holden wasn't even that good to you. But there was something about the smile
he would give me ,and the way he would say my name. But most importantly it was about the way he would kiss me. Yeah it was the way he embraced me that made me think that he perhaps loves me but maybe i was just fooling myself. But I put my brave face on. I got my positivity back up. And smiled. Because everyone loves a girl with a smile. I headed back inside.
As i attempted to go back in I almost slammed into a slender dark haired girl.
“Oh sorry!” I exclaimed said. The girl turned around and said "It's cool", I smiled kindly.
"Im Arya" I introduced myself ,“Indiana Sky” she nodded with a smile. “Oh!! You are the girl from the old Wessloh mansion, it’s a beautiful house, one of the prettiest” I recalled. “How do you know my house?” Indiana asked me intrigued. “Once when it was for sale, and there was nobody living there me and a friend entered through the beach, we just wanted to see it, its beautiful” ,I told her. One of my many hobbies back then was breaking and perhaps entering into the abandon houses. They were so pretty. I now that was against the law and all but I wasn't really occupying the rooms or staying there or anything. Most of the times we just run around ,played hide and seek or got drunk on their back yards. It was all innocent stuff. “Oh yeah, it’s a great place, im more of city lover, but hey, everyone here is drunk by 2pm” Indiana joked. I laughed and that's when I spotted Holden walking towards us. I was trying hard to control my expression. Look happy.
He smiled at me widely,I felt a twinge of happiness and disgust towards that action. “Who do we have here?” he said, throwing his arm around me.
“Holden Darcy this is Indiana Sky, she lives in the Wessloh Mannor” I introduced them to each other. “Nice to meet you” Holden said and his tone was more then friendly. He kept looking her up and down,clearly obviously checking her out. I grabbed him closer and whispered into his ear " Where did you go earlier". I felt rude towards Indiana but I had to kind of give her the vibe that I liked this boy and that I would have appreciated her not to get with him. She was pretty and attractive. More attractive then I was. She seemed cool and adventures and someone that I felt Holden would have preferred to me. Because I am just a nice sweet girl to everyone. I was a bad drunk yeah and occasionally adventures but to Holden I was just a sweet girl. And I was sick of that.
Indiana seemed have gotten the hint and walked away quickly. Holden didn't really answer my question and just mumbled about going to get something to drink and then I disappeared or something. He called me babe and tried to wrap his arm around me and I let him for a second and then I pulled away and looked at him.
"What?",he asked me confused. I took a deep breath out. "Nothing",I said,my smile fading.
"I am going to get you something to drink",he said and kissed me on the head. I watched him walk away from me. Again. I always watch him walk away from me.
My mood was increasingly turning sour and as I walked around trying to find Tristan or someone who was a friend. I saw him Holden talking or should I more say flirting with Indiana. I bit my lip. I liked her,why did he have to hit on her. I felt like now I hated her and I didn't want to. I didn't want to feel jealous. I didn't want to feel useless. I felt pathetic. I turned away from the scene.
I was downing my 4th shot of Sambuca when my brother found me drinking with some friends from school who had embraced my return. Tristan took the vodka out of my hand."Don't mix your drinks",he warned me. I giggled happily.
"I am trying to attain a spiritual drunkness my dear",I told him. He asked me to get up and go outside.
"I thought you wanted to be a responsible adult today,how much did you have to drink?",he asked me warningly. "A bit..a lot",I laughed again. He shook his head.
"But are you alright?",he asked me again. I looked at him,pulling his cute little face closer.
"If something was wrong you would be the first to know. I just wanted to have a good time",i lied.
He looked at me "I believe you. But I want you to sit here for a bit and sober up okay. I am not going to mother you because you hate that but wait at least 40 minutes before drinking more okay",he said. I nodded happily. "Find me if you need me",he said and kissed me cheek lovingly like he did.
I didn't want to lie to Tristan but I didn't want to tell him about my pathetic feelings. I did as I was told and sat there as he headed back inside. I didn't like to be mothered by him and I was glad that tonight he decided to let me be. "Hey",a girl said who plonked herself next to me. I turned and smiled.
'Hey",I replied. She was pretty in a strange way but nevertheless still pretty. "Arya",I introduced myself.
"Sephora",she said and smiled at me,I returned that smile.
"You okay?",she asked me.
I looked at her confused. "You crying while smiling",she pointed out. I didn't even realise.
I wiped my tears away and let that smile disappear of my face.
"Boys are stupid",I told her. She kind of laughed at that. We sat there in silence looking out to the happening of the party around us. There was Holden. My face changed when I saw him. That happy face that I try to keep plastered there at all times appeared even though I really didn't like it.
"Wow,you are smiling again. You almost look happy. But I know you are sad",Sephora noticed.
My eyes were fixed on Holden. My whole being was begging for him to see me. "Is that him",she asked me. I somehow nodded.
"He once told me he hated to see my crying face. He told me he found girls who were always upset and let on something was wrong annoying. So I pretend nothing was wrong",I confessed. She looked at me.
"But it seems that something is very wrong",she told me before leaving me be and perhaps actually enjoying herself. I watched him and as always I watched him walk away from me. I always watch him walk away from me.
Townies, it's our last day of school. The Darcy kids are throwing a party tonight to kick off the summer of champions. You're gonna wanna be there... Never a good idea to miss a Darcy party.

I smiled as I saw Delaney walk towards us. I had been alone with Ella for a little too long for my liking,I loved that girl I did but in light of recent events her and Amelia have been sort of disappointed in my behaviour. It wasn't like they openly hated me or were mad,no they supported me ,they always did because that's what friends do support you. Even when you totally fu-ck up. "Hello girls",Del said excited grinning from ear to ear.
"You look happy?",Ella pointed out.
"Where are the others?",she asked us first looking around.
"On their way hopefully",Ella replied checking her phone. I took another sip from my Ice tea.
"What's the news ?",I asked again.
She shushed me. "The others have to be here for me to make the big announcement?",she told me.
"Did you buy something irrelevant again that none of us care about?",I joked and Ella laughed slightly hitting me for my indecency.
"I am obviously kidding",I said and hugged Deleany tightly. She pushed me away in disgust.
"Too much love",she complained.
"Over here",Ella yelled the others over.
They all got in their seats and we all looked at Del expecting something.
"MY PARENTS BOOKED US A VILLA IN THE BAHAMAS",she screeched followed by us screeching because we al knew it was going to be the most amazing thing of all time. We laughed we smiled.
I became even more excited about this holiday. I really wanted to go now.
As we got up to go to dinner Delaney pulled me to the side "Rumour has it that a certain Noah Cormac and his family are vacating in the Bahamas this summer"she told me. My eyes widen by that comment.
"What are you are going to do about it?",she asked me curious.
I gave her a mischievous smile.
"What a girl ought to do",i replied and winked.
"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN SAM?",she yelled after me.
I laughed and grabbed her hand.
"You will see but for now we gonna get us some eats okay",I told her.
"Don't stir up trouble Kinsella",I heard the girls say behind me.
"Me,never",i joked.

+ bio; Billie Jean (which she a prefers to be called) who just at the young age of 15 got over the fact that her mother literally named her after a song, actually her mother named all of them after songs,like the strange woman that she is ;at the delicate age where she had settled into High school and friends and growing up really,she hadn't figured it out but she surely wasn't as scared anymore and to wake up one morning finding her brother dead,suicide. He had hung himself in his room,that same room right next to hers. Their walls were so thin she could hear him cough at night. But she did not hear this. Billie Jean's life went into turmoil. Her and her brother were twins and very close,his death made no sense to her. They told him that had clinical depression and that he wasn't coping well with school and growing up and all and Billie just didn't understand why that would make him kill himself. They explained it to her countless times but she didn't get it . She just didn't and the more she didn't understand how he can just leave without her ,the more it changed her. Later on she was diagnosed with Depression herself. Most people don't really remember much of Billie Jean during High School because she completely withdrew,she didn't really go anymore,she found people very exhausting,she found standing in the place that made her brother commit suicide physically sickening. She just couldn't deal,so she ended up being partially home-schooled and just showing up for test. She is better now though,she still struggles with it sometimes,but she is taking her medication and going to therapy even though she hates her therapist.
But being in New York feels different to Billie, it feels fresh and new . That feeling she felt when she was 15 that feeling of being settled about life,not quite got it all figured out but it wasn't scary anymore. She got into her dream Uni studying Art the thing she believes saved her from eternal sadness and getting a part-time job and an Architecture company where one she may or may not have a huge crush on one of the partners,who is way too old for her.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 8TH: Do you hear that? Sounds like it's summer time and we all know what that means -- vacationers. There'll be a welcome summer party down on the boardwalk tonight and all are welcome. There'll be music, bonfires, and beers to smuggle
(please comment if you liked to be friends or enemies with Arya,thank you)
Story time:
Tristan rolled his eyes as I excitedly run down the broad walk to get my favourite fish and chips. I breathed in the fresh air,I really missed home.
"I don't know why you love this chip shop so much", Tristan said. I munched down on my chips while wiggling around happy.
"Gah,don't you just love it here ?",I exclaimed happily.
Tristan shook his head " As my duty as the cynical ,sarcastic one ,I must say I do not love it here. Everything is so cliquey. I want to get drunk without having to worry about a and z ,flake this and townie that",he told me earnestly.
"I ignore all of that. People can get so dramatic here",I told him. He laughed " No, Arya you can get dramatic,like seriously",he said still laughing.
I threw a chip at him. "Please don't drink a lot tomorrow,we just arrived and I don't have money to pay for your usual inappropriate behaviour fine",he told me. I threw another chip at him " That happened twice,okay",I defended myself.
"Right. You tell yourself that",he laughed.
I pulled a face.
"What's tomorrow ??".I asked as we wandered around the broadwalk.
"Party at Darcy's I do believe",he told me.
"How do you know?",I wondered as I tried on novelty glasses.
"I have my sources",Tristan told me trying to sound mysterious.
"You don't have sources,you have like 3 friends and I am one of them",I called him out.
"Holden text me about it",he said.
I pulled another grimace.
"You don't like Holden",I said.
"Yeah,I don't like a lot of people. Doesn't mean they aren't fond of me",he replied.
"I really don't understand how you are a real person",I said and pushed him slightly.
He grabbed me and tried to suffocate me through a hug.
I was helping my mother prepare dinner when she turned around and asked me "Are you going to meet up with all of your old friends ?".
"Hopefully",I said and smiled. She looked pleased at that thought. But honestly I didn't know if they wanted to meet up with me. But I was being optimistic as usual. Years of friendship is stronger then a change of zip code right ?
"DINNER",I yelled down the corridor.
I looked outside and saw our amazing view of the beach.
I really did miss this,miss the beach,the food,everything about this place.
Summer,yes,Summer was going to be perfect.
Hopefully.

Story:
When I was 11 ,I thought that my whole world had collapsed. I had found my father collapsed on the floor and when I saw his motionless body ,I cried my little eyes out. He had shook him and shook him ,told him to "hang on " ,just to not go and leave me. But he wouldn't budge. I had cried and cried and finally had come to my sense and called an ambulance. They came as fast as they could and said he had a heart attack. I remember the smell of his burned skin as they were trying to retrieve him ,over and over and over again but he just didn't come to himself. Somewhere in between that my mother had arrived. She didn't look like she had cried. She arrived at the scene crazed and worried. She looked around and only glanced at my mother but rushed over to me. She held me in her arms and told me "It is okay,over and over again until I fell fast asleep in her arms. I was woken up by the sounds of a sob. It was my mother ,she quietly by herself cried in her bathroom ,not for me or my sister to see. She kept it to herself and I felt bad so I got of that bed and hugged her as tight as my small body could. She looked taken aback as I over and over again whispered : "I am sorry". She stopped swiftly and looked at me. "Why are you sorry ? This is not your fault",she said. She smiled kindly like mothers do. She wiped my tears away as I wiped hers.
"All I need from you is to smile like you always do,okay. Remember how much your father loved to make you happy and laugh ,I want you to still be happy and laugh ,okay. You look just like him when you do ",she said and kissed me on the cheek.
And since that day I vowed that I would always try and be happy and cheerful because I felt as if my father was still part of me that way.
A 5 years later:
"SHUT UP",I yelled across the house. I heard Tristan laughing hard.
"You know I am right",he said as he ducked from the pillows I threw in his direction.
"I did not say that!",I firmly say and turn around back into the living room.
"I am pretty sure you did." Oh Holden please..",he imitated my voice.
I threw the remote at him "STOP IT",I yelled again.
"What's all this fuss about?",Mac came out of his study looking at us slightly amused.
"Your son keeps listening to me as I sleep talk and accusing me of saying things that I did not. I feel as if My privacy is constantly invaded",I said in my yes layer speak. Mac laughed.
"Maybe You and I should just send Tristan back to his mother who is off to France with her girlfriends and he can join by carrying there bags and other slave like work",he joked and winked at me. I stuck my tongue out to Tristan.
" I hereby formally apologise to you Arya Chambray. Everything but that",he said and I burst out laughing.
"See that's all sorted then,right ? Can you guys keep it down for now,gotta do some lawyer stuff. Tres boring",he said and vanished into his study.
"I am hungry",Tristan suddenly said. I looked at him ."We can go to Mum's place if you want to",I suggested.
"Why can't we order pizza ? Moving is effort ! ",he said. I crumbled my nose "I am not a fan of pizza my friend but I will get chicken wings",I told him. He smiled. "That sounds good,I will go and order it,why don't you become useful and chose a movie",he said to me.
"With that tone I might end up choosing the Princess Dairies by accident",I said.
He laughed: " I love the Princess Diaries okay !". I collapsed into the sofa laughing because I knew he did he really did love the Princess Diaries.
He knew every line,every song . No matter how many times we watch it together and I say it ,itself makes me laugh uncontrollably.

I looked at my reflection. I was tall but somehow tiny. I this really small face that made me look like a child in some way but then again didn't. My father always said that I was adorable in every way but also the most beautiful thing he has ever seen next to my mother of course. And I always thought that he said it because he was my parents and thats what parents do,think that their children are the most beautiful creatures on earth,blood or no blood. Parents love is the same . But the more I think about love the more I become to understand,he thought that way not because I was his child but because he loved me and that love that he had for me ,that he gave me and i returned to him made me beautiful to him. Love ,that love that he has for me is what makes me pretty. I started to think if Mathias or any of my boyfriends have ever looked at me with such love as my father had. If any of them has ever thought " god,she is beautiful because I love her". It pained me to think that I have never received such love ,it pained me to think that I might never do. But then again have I ever given such love. Can I truly say I have loved madly,deeply ? Or is that fleeting feeling for Mathias the first time for it to hurt so bad ? Is this the first time for me to have fallen unsuccessfully in love so that kind of love that I was talking about,that love that makes one beautiful I just missed out on it ?
I stared at my face. Was it timing this time ?
Or was it more like that he just chose her instead. I bit my lip. No more thinking of him.
But have I never really loved ?
Wait no...that's not true. There was Anton. Anton Gorbachev. I really liked him but he said that it wasn't enough. He was the only guy were I really cried my eyes out for. I cried for weeks for Anton. Because I really liked him and he almost didn't allow me to express it ,as if he'd stopped it before it could have hurt anymore. I think most of all I was sad that he wasn't there anymore. He was one of the few I always thought understood me. He did. With just a smile,just his eyes always knew what was on my mind. Why was it that my love is always cut so very short ?I contemplated that notion until the phone rung.
All that talk about Anton made me suddenly recall the very first time that I had met him. It made me recall out turbulent courtship.
This was only a year ago thinking about it last spring to be exact. Father and I used to go to this fancy art gallery downtown and pretend that we cared about post modernism art (we really don't) and basically just pretend to be pretentious as hell. Some times we would go and speak only in french and other times only Japanese to fool people. It was always my favourite past time .Father called it "Bonding time". When they had left for quite an extensive trip abroad ,I had stayed behind for a change and by Week 2 I came to miss Father and Mother and to not feel so lonely ,I went to that fancy art gallery by myself but it wasn't the same I tell you but I don't regret going because that was were I met him.
Anton was the first boy were could honestly say I fell for at first sight. He was dressed in all black. Wearing boots,black skinny jeans a long black button up shirt with interesting cufflinks and collar tips. His skin was as pale as snow and his hair as black a choral. I thought he was the prettiest thing and when he saw me staring he smiled the kindest of smiles a boy had ever given to me. I returned the favour and we spoke and spoke throughout the night. He took me to this nice late night cafe and he told me about russia and i spoke about France and we laughed and exchanged loving stares and I feel in love hard.
I remember it like it happened yesterday,the first time he had pressed his soft rosy lips against mine and made my heart beat faster then I ever thought it could. It was at one of those many parties us rich kids hold and it was mainly the boys school and ours so I didn't expect him to be there at all. He was older. 22 years old and at University writing a dissertation on Russian History and it's correlation to their Art and we were just a bunch of kids with too much money. That day had been the first time I had actually attend one of those events but as per usual I felt the need to escape the masses the people and hid in my oddness I would call it sometime. I had found myself crouched down in some corner of their huge garden when he found me. I was desperately trying to light a cigarette and he watched me smiling. "You look adorable like that",he has said to draw my attention to him. I looked up with the cigarette half falling out of my mouth and he laughed at that. He kneeled down next to me ad took the cigarette out of my mouth,he pushed it between his lips and grabbed my hands and cupped his hands around mine to help him light his cigarette. I felt my cheeks flush red with that sudden skinship and he smirked because he knew. He let me hands go slowly softly as he stared deeply into my eyes,taking my breath away. He removed the cigarette from his mouth and exhaled "You're interesting Yana",he said softly and smirked again. I swallowed hard as I took the cigarette out of his hand and took a long drag. "I like you",he had said and my eyes had widen as I exhaled,suddenly I felt his lips on mine. I still remember the taste nicotine mixed with lemons and alcohol. I dropped my cigarette as he pulled my body towards his. I moaned into his kisses as he deepened them. I could feel him grin through the kisses. There we were making out in someone else's garden.
Painfully the memory of our break-up rushed to me. I felt the tears swelling up. I was sad all together but just thinking about it. I recall laying in bed next to him. Skin on skin,my head resting on his chest and me feeling so absolutely content about my life. Like I thought it could only improve from here but obviously I didn't know much. He had been quite for quite a while and all he did was stroke my hair in a strange rhythm that send me to sleep. I felt him nudge me and he said " I think we should stop seeing each other my dearest Yana". I got up straight away ,I was taken aback and as he spoke those words I felt like everything beautiful was tainted. "What ?",I could barely say. "This relationship isn't going anywhere and I feel as if we stayed like this,if we tried to make it work,tried our very best it will only hurt us. And I want to remember you fondly",he has told me. I but my tongue. "I don't understand what exactly is wrong. I mean you like me and I like you and I don't see the problem",I said to him. He smiled kindly and kissed my cheek. "The thing is Yana liking me isn't enough for me and I don't think you will ever feel the that I want you to feel about me. The way I think I could feel about you. It's not enough for me.This is not enough for me ",he told me. I was just so confused in welling up in tears ,i chocked on my next words. "But..",I said. He hugged me tightly and shushed me "Please just cry now",he said softly and so I did. "This will never be enough for both of us trust me",he had said when he had walked me home.
I cried for days and days on end and I never understood what he meant. But maybe now I do .The way I feel about him and Mat is different,the feelings,the longings. The connection is different. I feel absolutely devastated knowing that Mat is no longer in my life that I can't speak to him or even just look at him. Because he will never be mine . That feeling that Anton wanted me to feel was that. He wanted me to feel like that about him.I think.I understand a little but man the way I felt about that boy ,I didn't think that I could ever feel like this again but here I was feeling like that again.
I stared at my face. Was it timing this time ?
Or was it more like that he just chose her instead. I bit my lip. No more thinking of him.
But have I never really loved ?
Wait no...that's not true. There was Anton. Anton Gorbachev. I really liked him but he said that it wasn't enough. He was the only guy were I really cried my eyes out for. I cried for weeks for Anton. Because I really liked him and he almost didn't allow me to express it ,as if he'd stopped it before it could have hurt anymore. I think most of all I was sad that he wasn't there anymore. He was one of the few I always thought understood me. He did. With just a smile,just his eyes always knew what was on my mind. Why was it that my love is always cut so very short ?I contemplated that notion until the phone rung.
All that talk about Anton made me suddenly recall the very first time that I had met him. It made me recall out turbulent courtship.
This was only a year ago thinking about it last spring to be exact. Father and I used to go to this fancy art gallery downtown and pretend that we cared about post modernism art (we really don't) and basically just pretend to be pretentious as hell. Some times we would go and speak only in french and other times only Japanese to fool people. It was always my favourite past time .Father called it "Bonding time".

FollowWHEN I LOOKED BACK, IT WAS THE PEOPLE I CARED ABOUT MOST DEEPLY WHO ENDED UP HURTING ME THE MOST. MAKES ME WONDER THOUGH, IS IT REALLY BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME GREATER SCARS? OR DID I INFLICT THE PAIN UPON MYSELF BY NAIVELY EXPECTING THAT THEY, OF ALL PEOPLE, WOULD NOT EVER BE BAD TO ME?"
