Chapter 13

Avery

There’s nothing.

You’re nothing.

The little well-dressed man isn’t my friend. I thought he was. He lies.

I only tell you the truth, Avery. I’m the only one you can count on.

I see him in the shadows of my room. He’s teasing me. Taunting me. Ruining me.

You’re the one that’s ruining everything. Why couldn’t you just behave?

He likes to think he’s in control. He reminds me that the reason I feel anything is because of him.

You can’t get rid of me. You want to be happy? You want to feel joy? That’s me, Avery. That’s all me.

It’s like an itch in my head. His little hands creeping on my brain.

My brain. Creeping. Itchy.

When I’m gone, there will be nothing left of you.

On, off, on, off like a light switch. Flipping the light switch.

Christ, please just decide.

I can’t get up. Sebastian is in front of me. I know he is. His pretty face is filled with concern.

Concern for me.

I can’t hear what he says. I can’t hear anything at all.

I’m exhausted. So very, very exhausted. I can’t speak. It’s too much effort.

Back and forth. On and off. Happy and sad. Everything and nothing at all.

Tired. So tired.

Sebastian. He wants me to say something.

No, he doesn’t. He doesn’t have feelings for you. Who would?

He does.

The truth is harsh, but you were just a tiny blip for him. The sex, the cuddles, the laughs. It’s nothing, Avery.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Snap out of it.

Sebastian is holding my hand.

I can’t feel it.

I don’t trust my own thoughts. What’s real? Maybe nothing. Anger, fear, death, love, joy, happy, or sad.

But I’m fine. Nothing is wrong with me. I don’t need help. I don’t need anything. I’m just a normal person who isn’t strong enough.

But I’m fine.

I close my eyes.

I’m so tired.
