Could I say I was pissed off? Yes. Could I say I felt betrayed? Yes again. Used? Manipulated? Let's just assume it's all yes. Those pricks handed me everything on a silver platter but it was all just a trap. They fooled me and I fell for it. So, I did what I do best: escape. I went back to my roots and lived it large, that is until I was caught.
Well, there were only two people I could turn to, if they deigned me worth their time after I ditched them. It looked like I was thankfully, but I should have known better it wouldn't last.
They got scared and turned on me, leaving me alone again. How many times would I have to be scorned by these two before I got it in my head they didn't care? Probably more than twice. They were just...everything.
But then what was it going to take to make them see I was an equal and not a damn happy meal? I could give them what they needed, but they refused to see it.
What did I need to do to make them accept me? I had no idea, but time was running out for me, and I needed help. I could only pray they saw reason before I was lost forever.
