"Too bad, I'm not going back on my word. I will do worse if he hurts you again."

"Luckily for both of us, he's switched to pretending my existence is entirely arbitrary and does not effect him in any way."

"Better than nothing, I guess."

"Yes, it's much preferable. I'm afraid at some point though he's going to /actually/ forget I'm there and I'll have to sneak my own food into the apartment."

●

"I really doubt that."

2015-09-07 11:04:04

🌀

"Okay, maybe he's more likely to just pretend to forget. Either way, though."

"He's got the point, that's all that matters."

2015-09-07 11:06:02

"That point being?"

2015-09-07 11:08:12

"That if you fuck with someone I care about, you get me, and I don't tolerate /anyone/ hurting someone I care deeply for."

2015-09-07 11:09:36

🌀

.....deeply? "......are you sure that isn't a bit.....excessive?"

2015-09-07 11:12:22

●

"Nope."

2015-09-07 11:12:59

🌀

"And you do this /every/ time someone you care about gets hurt."

2015-09-07 11:13:52

●

"Yeah. That's how I wound up in the psych ward."

2015-09-07 11:14:12

🌀

".....so you don't see a problem with it."

2015-09-07 11:16:03

"I don't."

"/How is that/?"

"...." Ah, Fuck it. Might as well tell him the whole story. "Do you remember when I said the person I got close to outed me to the entire school?"

2015-09-07 11:19:01

"Of course. An asshole. And?"

"Well....she was paid to find out if I was gay. And I lived in the south, which is a disaster waiting to happen. So I got beat up. A lot. And so did my friends. A lot. I defended them. Took the blame. Got suspended a lot. Eventually thrown down a flight of stairs. The nurse saw the cuts. Wound up in the psych ward. Lost my friends. Tried to kill myself. Got sent back in. Got out. Was alone, but I never once regretted helping the people who hurt me."

As her succinct story progressed, I grew more and more angry at her childhood. "How are those /friends/?! /Any/ of them??"

2015-09-07 11:28:14

●

"They were all I had."

2015-09-07 11:28:56

🌀

"...........that's /immensely/ unfortunate."

2015-09-07 11:31:53

●

"...Shit happens. I guess."

2015-09-07 11:32:13

"But shit like that is just a cruel act of God."

"It's the bible belt, what'd you expect? My parents were going to kick me out if I was 'certain' about it."
