i felt my hopes crumble into millions of pieces
as midori spoke.
scared.
she’s scared.
she looked up at me with guilt in her emerald eyes
smiling to make it better.
she’s scared.
i moved my hand away from hers
feeling an emptiness start to devour the warmth that was there earlier.
she watched as i stood up slowly
and began to speak.
“you’re scared?
well, guess what, Midori
so am i.”
the tears were pricking my eyes
and i hated my body for crying
hated myself for being so stupid.
of course this would never work.
everyone always leaves.
“Sora, i-”
“i can’t believe i thought things had changed.
nothing’s changed.
nothing at all.
you’re just going to leave and i’ll still be here
alone
stuck with Otousan
who never speaks.
i hate this.
i hate this.”
Midori stood too and tried to calm me but i pushed her away.
“please leave,” i begged
and i hated the way i begged.
“come back when you’ve figured yourself out.”
she left quietly and i knew i was being unfair
because i was the one who needed to figure myself out.
i slammed my door
and gave out to the tears spilling outwards.
