Immediately the door shut behind me, I lost it.The calm facade I had put on earlier slipped away, and all that was left was anger.
Pure, unfiltered anger.
The urge to punch the wall or break something was so strong my hands were trembling.
It wasn't her words that rattled me the most...oh no.Ut was the fact that a part of me believed what she said. The fact that I knew, deep down, I could never be as perfect as she is.
And that knowledge was crippling.
I sat on the edge of the bed, burying my face in my palms.My insecurities were surging in piles, and I just let them come.
Goddess, I've been trying to be okay.
I've been forcing myself to be happy and enthusiastic about everything, but why… why does it feel like I'm always being tested?
Is this another cruel reminder that I don't deserve this life?
That I don't deserve a good story?
The door clicked open, and I didn't need to look up to know who it was. I just knew.
"Please go away, Kaelith. I want to be alone."
