The simple pain of living is hard enough to bare by itself. Haylee taught me this, it was the first lesson I would ever remember her teaching me. Her light hazel eyes shone brightly as she showed me her wrists fresh with razor blade incisions. My eyes watered as my soft fingertips traced her self-inflicted pain. But that was only the beginning.
I am Kale Vaught, and these are my confessions.
There are plenty of guys like me. Everywhere you look, as if we all come from the same mold. I don't mind because basically, I don't care. Apathy is the only thing that makes sense in the midst of the fakes and the whores of society.
Or, at least that's what I used to think. Before I met Baiyen and Clarissa.
Baiyen, Haylee, and Clarissa. My entire world wrapped up into three unique, cataclysmic, and utterly amazing people.
"I'm writing you again..." Clarissa's soft voice echoed over the phone line, the crackling of the bad connection disrupting my sleep at 3 in the morning.
"What?" I yawned, barely able to gather enough energy to wipe the sleep from my weary eyes.
"I've been writing you letters that I just can't say, but I'm saying it now. I'm begging you to tell me the truth."
Ah, the truth. That fickle little monster.
"About what, Cissa?" My back-logged brain tried to compute what she was saying.
"About Haylee. I know there is something going on, I couldn't sleep without knowing the truth. No matter how bad it is, I want to know." Those words were burned into my memory as my brain churned to come up with a feasible answer.
The truth? Never.
"She's going through a tough time, Clarissa, you know that. Now will you let me get some sleep?!" Clarissa was instantly quiet. I had never snapped at her like that.
"I'm sorry, Clarissa, I didn't mean to-"
Click. Silence on the other line.
I sigh. Being a gentleman had never been my forte.
Rolling over on my bed, I slam the phone back into it's cradle as I scramble out of bed and slid my fingers over my keyboard of my computer. The hum of the motherboard barely calmed my nerves as I waited impatiently for it to turn on.
Time to confess my sins to those who don't care.
oh just confess it.<3
