Rae reached for my hand, which I quickly ripped away from her, making her frown, “What's your deal?”copyright protection149PENANAhUPDvyDDes
“My deal?” I slightly glared at her, “I don't want to fucking touch you,”copyright protection149PENANAS1NVjLNJCt
“You enjoyed the sex, what's the problem now?”copyright protection149PENANATHljA28gFV
“I don't remember enjoying anything, Rae, now drop it.”copyright protection149PENANA6OhTI9mNui
“This is why everyone hates you, and the only people you have around lie to you because they feel bad.” She scoffed, flipping a switch in my brain,copyright protection149PENANAXHbv4RSGjy
“Great. Well, now you can go back, and tell everyone I'm leaving so I don't bother them anymore.” I shrugged, and she smirked,copyright protection149PENANAXKe9Ph9APS
“Will do.” I watched her walk away, shaking as soon as she was out of my sight,copyright protection149PENANAFfGuScFvL9
Did he really hate me? Why does he hate me? Why am I not good enough for him? Does he actually think I caused the whole… thing? Is it- No, I don't need him. I don't need him… I don't need hi-copyright protection149PENANA4w7yyTPEPA
“Hello? Kid? Are you okay?” A guy with green hair sat himself next to me.copyright protection149PENANA35WaHjfoDn
“I'm okay.” I lied, copyright protection149PENANARwYxAg8KaP
“Seeing as your sobbing, I think that's dishonest.” copyright protection149PENANA2i74pJTLnZ
“Yeah, okay… I actually feel like shit.”copyright protection149PENANA3TKsJHSAzU
“Here, come in for coffee with me.” He pointed to the shop we were standing in front of, Welcome To The Punk Side!. copyright protection149PENANAyIdahxuKjr
“I'll pass.”copyright protection149PENANAlGazfe64Wm
“Why's that?”copyright protection149PENANAEX6Sxi2BUV
“I-I don't want to bother you.”copyright protection149PENANA4Hn4skDCCJ
“Nonsense! You won't bother me!”copyright protection149PENANAD7CngVFK7g
“A-Are you sure?”copyright protection149PENANAMY6LprAFKF
“Yep, come on!” He lifted me up, and took me inside, motioning for me to join him on the couch, which I took him up on, copyright protection149PENANARtbpaUka0v
“Elden? Oh… Who is this?”copyright protection149PENANAm9HaZNHc2R
“Tennille, this is…”copyright protection149PENANA84gTEtG2il
“Tyler.” I looked up at her quickly, before staring at my hands, which I fidgeted around with,copyright protection149PENANAvGe6aaDEqv
“Well, nice to meet you Tyler.” She held out her hand to shake it, and I did so, still avoiding her eyes.copyright protection149PENANAOFnexSraK9
“Hey, Tennille, would you mind making us some coffee?”copyright protection149PENANAwV4rbPuVS2
“Yeah, sure.” Tennille bounced her way out of the room, before Elden turned his attention back to me.copyright protection149PENANAWKHdN4y7d7
“So, let's talk. What's going on?”copyright protection149PENANAloO1rNRj5O
“I… um…”copyright protection149PENANA6vPtr3WovX
“Are you nervous? Because you don't need to be nervous. I totally get it, I studied psychology in college for a while.”copyright protection149PENANAuLMM3BG3Xd
No, it's not that…”copyright protection149PENANAfxM5Jezr1G
“Then what is it?”copyright protection149PENANAdnQi5NrWvV
“It's just… well… It sounds really stupid.”copyright protection149PENANAnHIZfZHwSw
“I doubt it's stupid if it makes you cry.”copyright protection149PENANAmvT4SyZYya
“It is. Everything makes me want to cry.”copyright protection149PENANAbN5bprHuqm
“So? That doesn't make things less important. C'mon, Tyler, just let it all out.”copyright protection149PENANAYmFxubqupp
“I… Okay… M-My friend… She wants to be intimately involved with me, even though I've told her no on several occasions, she won't listen to me, and does what she wants, since I… I can't over power her, which sounds pathetic because of my bigger build, and her petite build….” I took a deep breath, “And now she's pissed, and feeding me shit about how no one cares, and even though I know subconsciously that at least one person does, I still can't help thinking that maybe they don't, because of the way my brain is wired.”copyright protection149PENANAd78S2TNdl8
“Well, even if they don't, who cares? You don't need them.”copyright protection149PENANAPshBaKrNAR
“But that's not completely true, as much as I want to try, and convince myself that. Sure, I can say that about Ami, or Cameron, but Preston? I just… I can't function without him anymore.”copyright protection149PENANAzeL4t3XMYw
“If you don't mind me asking, you and Preston, are you guys dating?”copyright protection149PENANAngXnXS4Y9y
“No, but we are together.”copyright protection149PENANAwmpXwE2mxk
“Huh?”copyright protection149PENANAy6kbIWAFwA
“He's my queerplatonic partner. It's a different relationship dynamic, but basically we're more than friends, but we aren't dating, because the both of us are aromantic, and don't feel for each other in a romantic way.”copyright protection149PENANAkb5tJ7LgS2
“Oh, alright. That makes… some sense.” Elden nodded, “I think if you just sat down, and talked to Preston, things would turn out okay.”copyright protection149PENANABdfkPKewyz
“I don’t know if I really want to go back…”copyright protection149PENANAq5rqMPqjgj
“Oh, well then stay with us.” copyright protection149PENANAXv7rolG9HF
“Are you sure?”copyright protection149PENANA3Hf7ImUj04
“Yeah, of course. If it makes you feel better, I have things I need done around here, so you can help with that.”copyright protection149PENANA81jRJlh1io
“Okay,” I took a deep breath, “Thank you.”copyright protection149PENANABxfiudhH66
“Don’t mention it kiddo.”copyright protection149PENANAMhJRzXPiLC
