This is about as personal as it GETS ...
by AzureSkyy <cruel_reality@hotmail.com>
This is a copy of an email I sent my mother, just 15 minutes ago ... It's compiled of a letter-ish thing I wrote her personally before sending the mail, and several instant-messages between myself and some of my close friends ... Read at your discretion. I dont know WHY I'm posting it here, and trusting you all with it ... But I really don't know what else to do with myself anymore. Here it goes.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
... You took away my phone, cutting me off from some of the people that I cherish most ... Cutting me off from alot of the people that I have to end up helping through something or another nearly every day ... All those night phonecalls? Comforting Haylee. The morning ones? Checking up on Leah to see if she's still alive after all the family fights, divorce, and cancer-boutes. The afternoon ones? calling Holly, to cry and find someone to tell my troubles to during my lunch hour ... It's hard enough to survive things like what I'm showing you down below, without Dad being an asshole, you being unsupportive and unsympathetic, even if you dont know a shred of what's going on in my life...And despite those facts, you both still tell me "You can come to me with anything" and I just dont trust you anymore ... You, because you assume everything's hunky dory until I come crying into your lap because you've made the hurt worse by taking things away, and dad because ... I dont trust him, a single bit, and he never helps, only gets me angry, and takes things away again ...! I just... I can't win ... The blows keep on coming, the daggers keep poking through my back, only to find my heart... I can't take on a JOB! I'd collapse, or cry, or go postal on somebody ... And sports ..? ... I'm honest when I told you I'm just not good enough, and to jump in now, would be infinitely worse, and ... God, mother ... Those people are some of the worst people in school ... Everyone smokes, whether it's pot, cigerettes, both, and drinks, everything under the sun that I just dont feel like messing with ... That, and I can't stnad them just as people, without all the crap fucking with their bodies ... Grades ... I'll do my grades how I do them ... They're not spectacular, because I'm ... Completely and utterly emotionally driven ... My childhood's been stolen from me, and tainted, my once-best friend is dating the woman I loved, and still love, and can't get over for the life of me ... With all that's happened to me, and with her ... There's atleast three different things that went on between us without even Brian in the picture that would cripple a lesser man for life ... Asking me to have phenominal grades when my heart isnt in it, my talent is ebbing (I've wrriten maybe 3 creative things in the last 6 months ...) and when school is just simply -harder-, is ... Not fair, in any way imaginable ... I can't do it anymore ... I just .. Can't. Life means so little to me, lately ... It feels like I just live each day to be passively tormented by Emma, because I promised to be her friend (I keep my promises) and it hurts to be near her ... And Brian keeps trying to become friends again ... All I ask, is for sympathy, and a little freaking help ... Not directly ... Because I dont believe there's anything you, or dad, or the psychiatrist, or the GODDAMN pills they tried three dozen times to get me to take home, can help ... I'm left alone, to work the politics in my own little world. Help me out, stop taking critical things to my sanity and well-being away, at critical times ... I need you, indirectly, so badly, mother. Please. I'm dying inside up here, every freaking day. Now ... Read. This, is why I was so pissed, depressed, and so many more things... hear me out... Because I've meant every word, and always have ... Read on ... And if you love me, then, please ... Dont stop reading til the end, look back on it, and tell me that I'm not doing a hell of a job with the fucked-up life I've got ...

| B-rian (briansalo1@yahoo.com) |
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
[09:12:28 PM] B-rian: ...hello
[09:12:35 PM] Rain, rain, : ...Hi.
[09:12:59 PM] * Rain, rain, go away, come again another day .. is now
Busy
[09:13:02 PM] B-rian: blah blah blah, how are things?
[09:13:20 PM] * Rain, rain, go away, come again another day .. is now
Online
[09:13:26 PM] Rain, rain, : Shitty.
[09:13:37 PM] B-rian: sorry man, truthfully.
[09:13:40 PM] Rain, rain, : Uh huh.
[09:14:21 PM] B-rian: I know you probably hate my guts and so on right
now, and i'm willing to accept that.
[09:14:49 PM] Rain, rain, : ...Cut the therapist-talk. I can't stand
it. Really. Talk like a normal person. Please. It
reminds me of my dad.
[09:15:22 PM] B-rian: what do you mean?
[09:15:38 PM] * B-rian has changed his/her name to ~*Brian*~
[09:15:39 PM] Rain, rain, : "And I'm willing to accept that". Please.
Dont do that. I feel like I'm arguing with my father.
[09:15:51 PM] ~*Brian*~: oh, sorry. unintentional.
[09:15:54 PM] Rain, rain, : ...
[09:15:57 PM] Rain, rain, : Anywho.
[09:16:09 PM] ~*Brian*~: *shrugs* I dunno what arguing with your pa is
like
[09:16:17 PM] Rain, rain, : ..He doesnt matter, right now.
[09:16:29 PM] Rain, rain, : It's just us kiddies.
[09:16:30 PM] ~*Brian*~: ture
[09:16:31 PM] ~*Brian*~: *true
[09:18:02 PM] ~*Brian*~: what I meant this morning though, when I said
we might as well get the talking out of the way, is that
I'm not gonna play dumb and act like you don't know
anything or any crap like that, so I wanted to cut
through all the crap and get it out of the way, and
hopefully possibly continue a friendship thats lasted
eons.
[09:19:20 PM] Rain, rain, : ... How many times've you had her over?
Knowing how I still felt about her? Not like it means
anything, but I'm pretty sure you dont date your best
friend's (At least at one time.) ex that he's still in
love with. You know, unwritten rule, strike a bell?
[09:20:38 PM] ~*Brian*~: ...I know, and i'm sure you've heard it from
her, but this wasn't like an intended thing or
anything.. hell, I didn't even know you were with her at
all, until after you had told me that you and her were
broken up already.
[09:21:08 PM] Rain, rain, : ... This isnt even RECENT?!
[09:21:27 PM] ~*Brian*~: what do you mean?
[09:21:31 PM] Rain, rain, : No, she doesnt like to tell me too too
much anymore.She told me she had feelings for you, and
that she thought you probably liked her. That's all.
[09:22:07 PM] Rain, rain, : ...How long've you been .. I dont even
know what the hell the phrase would be. How long've you
been thinking about being with her.
[09:22:59 PM] ~*Brian*~: we've only been talking and such for like, a
week, maybe week and a half tops. Trust me completely
when I say that nothing was going on before or when you
were with her.
[09:23:51 PM] Rain, rain, : Somehow I dont believe you anymore.
[09:24:22 PM] ~*Brian*~: I swear on my fathers grave man, nothing was
going on before or during you were with her. I'm stone
cold serious here.
[09:26:42 PM] Rain, rain, : ... But you were thinking about it,
subtely working toward it, hmm? Become friends first,
then, hey, she's pretty cool, maybe maybe ... I'll wait
a month, til my friend 'gets over it', then I'll start
on it. Oh, what's another week, I'm impatient.
[09:26:50 PM] Rain, rain, : Running out of time and all, arentcha.
[09:27:26 PM] ~*Brian*~: there were no thoughts at all on my behalf
about anything like that when you were with her. none.
[09:28:06 PM] Rain, rain, : ...
[09:28:24 PM] Rain, rain, : I'm just too fucking pissed for words,
Brian. You dont even know.
[09:28:56 PM] ~*Brian*~: you have the right to be, thats why I'm being
straight honest with you, and talking to you about it
like a man.
[09:30:42 PM] Rain, rain, : I can't be mad at her. It's just not even
in me to really try. I can be hurt, and disappointed,
and sad, and scared, and maybe a little
injusticed-feeling, but not mad. I can't do it. It's you
I'm pissed at, you I dont trust, and ... How could you
even do this to me, then ask me to be friends again? How
do you have a friendship, when I have to have this over
my head when I talk to you...? Even, later in life. "Oh,
remember that one time? Yeah. I still flinch to look at
you. So, how's your day been?"
[09:32:22 PM] ~*Brian*~: I'm not going to argue with your point when
you're in the right about it, all I can do is sit here
and be honest with you about it.
[09:32:22 PM] Rain, rain, : It'd be nice to be friends with you.
You're a pretty cool person. You've got good taste in
music. We shared a fucking childhood together, and
frequently reminisc for chrissake.
[09:32:47 PM] ~*Brian*~: exactly.
[09:32:56 PM] ~*Brian*~: for the latter half at least.
[09:33:32 PM] Rain, rain, : ... So what're you going to do. Stay with
her, until the military takes you away? Have a.. A what,
a fling, just for fun thing? Or fall in love with her,
and then be like "Damn, sorry babe, gotta go kick some
ass for the country, I'll -write you-!?"
[09:33:35 PM] ~*Brian*~: you were like a brother, man. thats why i'm
standing my ground and talking to you about this. you
deserve that much respect.
[09:35:13 PM] ~*Brian*~: and I don't honestly know whats going to
happen in the future. too many relationships that i've
been in have been ruined talking about the future. we're
only worrying about the present, and we're both well
aware of the fact that i'm leaving and so on.
[09:35:20 PM] Rain, rain, : ...This isnt about respect, and you know
it. This is about you pulling a shitty thing on a fallen
man, now self-labeled as a brother. It's about hurt
feelings, and setting them aside because nobody wants to
look at that. It's about the girl both of us want, and
both of us know I can't have, because I fucked up, most
of it actually after-the-fact.
[09:37:21 PM] Rain, rain, : And now you've got a good thing going on
because of it. She's lonely. She wants somebody to love.
She's always been that way, she's wanted a hand to hold,
someone to comfort her, for so long ... You should have
seen her before I helped her out of little bits of it,
Brian. Everyone, everybody, could see the changes.
[09:37:51 PM] ~*Brian*~: what changes do you mean?
[09:39:54 PM] Rain, rain, : You found a good thing, because I poured
my heart and soul into helping her show herself, the
person i saw in the shell, under the cover she'd been
hiding under. She's not timid, like she used to be.
She's not as scared as she used to be. She's so much
more, but it was there if you wanted to look hard
enough. I saw it. And helped her come out from hiding.
And now you see it. You've found a good thing, but only
after I helped her find parts of herself.
[09:40:47 PM] ~*Brian*~: and I won't take that away from you, you
probably did do that, I didn't know her before then
obviously..
[09:43:29 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I dont even know what I'm saying
anymore. I had a good reason, for that whole speech ...
But the reason's gone, and I come off as a jackass. An
arrogant possessive jackass. Oh, the joy. This just
going soooo well ...
[09:45:54 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I'd love to just say "You know, what
the hell. date her. We'll be friends. She's a big girl,
she can take care of herself. I'll be friends with her,
too. We'll all just be dandy." But I can't. Been crushed
too many times, and it's just too goddamn hard to stand
up and hold my chin up off the ground. I won't let you
break her heart. And I wont let you leave her standing
in the wind, waiting on a cliff's edge, waiting, for
you, to come riding back to the US in a boat. If she
loves you, falls hard, and keeps falling, she'll wait.
For a long, long time.
[09:47:12 PM] ~*Brian*~: I have absolutely NO intent of hurting her,
that much I swear to you.
[09:47:46 PM] ~*Brian*~: yes, people might call me an asshole, for due
reason, but there isn't a thing in this world that could
make me intentionally hurt this girl.
[09:48:18 PM] Rain, rain, : .. I can't do anything here. And you two
keep giving me options that dont exist, because no
matter what I say, no matter what I do, I still dont
really matter here.
[09:48:34 PM] ~*Brian*~: not only would hurting her be unfair to her,
it would be unfair to you as well, in a way.
[09:48:37 PM] Rain, rain, : ... Brian, I hope to hell and back, that
you mean that. Every word of that.
[09:49:15 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I dont give a fuck if it's "unfair",
because thing sbeing unfair doesnt, and never has,
stopped people from doing much of anything. It better
mean more to you than Fairness, Brian.
[09:49:37 PM] ~*Brian*~: of course it does.
[09:50:21 PM] ~*Brian*~: what I care about most is making this girl as
happy as possible, and I see the potential in myself to
do that job damned well. She's a great girl, and she
deserves that.
[09:50:57 PM] ~*Brian*~: I'm not doing it to get you pissed off or
anything, i'm not capitilizing on any downfall you may
have had with her, hell, I don't even want to know what
went wrong between you and her.
[09:51:37 PM] ~*Brian*~: All I know is that this girl cares a lot
about me, and there isn't a chance in hell that I'm
going to take that for granted or ruin that.
[09:52:58 PM] ~*Brian*~: if I were to intentionally hurt her, I would
stand there with my arms and let you take the punch.
completely honestly, man.
[09:53:04 PM] ~*Brian*~: *arms at my side*
[09:56:43 PM] Rain, rain, : ... If you hurt her, and let me take a
punch, Brian, I wouldnt be able to promise you, or her,
or me, that I'd stop swinging. So just don't do it. Emma
means more to me than any person I've ever known, more
to me than growing up with you, more to me than my
mother, my father, my family my friends. And I can't
even make eye contact with her on most days. I can't
think about her without growing cold at the fingertips,
and tears growing in the lower corners of my eyes. Don't
ever hurt her. Help her. Always.
[09:57:13 PM] ~*Brian*~: I swear it.
[09:58:48 PM] Rain, rain, : Whether or not she tells you she needs
you. Because she wont tell you. Until, or unless, it is
really, really hard for her. You need to be able to
tell. And most times, even that's not enough. You need
to be superhuman. And before you take on the job, you'd
sure as hell better know what it means to be near and
dear to her heart, and be able to keep her next to
your's, and in your thoughts, and close at hand.
[09:59:26 PM] ~*Brian*~: she's already said more than enough to me to
keep her there.
[10:00:08 PM] ~*Brian*~: I don't take one loving thing that she says
for granted, because I can tell she is very guarded
person, and doesn't open up very easily, yet for some
reason with me, she seems to open up fairly easily.
[10:01:33 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I hope you know how much what you're
saying is supposed to mean. Because it's not just being
guarded with her. It's on a whole new, mysterious level.
She's no ordinary girl, no combination of any other
girls.
[10:01:48 PM] ~*Brian*~: I know that already by far,
[10:01:51 PM] ~*Brian*~: *.
[10:01:57 PM] Rain, rain, : I dont think you do. But okay.
[10:02:25 PM] ~*Brian*~: I don't take her comfortable-ness with me for
granted, thats for sure as hell a fact.
[10:03:29 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I'm not saying you do. I'm just
saying, that I think you both underestimate, and
overestimate her. By so much.
[10:03:47 PM] ~*Brian*~: how do you think I overestimate her?
[10:04:03 PM] Rain, rain, : ... You ask that, over the underestimation
...
[10:04:30 PM] ~*Brian*~: well I have more of a grasp on the
underestimation I think.. I dunno.. *shrugs*
[10:04:35 PM] ~*Brian*~: explain both then, I dunno?
[10:05:54 PM] Rain, rain, : ... Because. She's better at hiding, than
any person I've ever known. She's better at pretending,
better at everything. You can't open her mind, heart,
emotions, uness she wants them opened. Completely.
You'll do more harm than help if you push it, you'll
hurt the both of you, even if she says she appreciates
it that you try.
[10:06:35 PM] ~*Brian*~: I never push a person to open up. I wait for
them to feel comfortable enough with me to.
[10:07:00 PM] Rain, rain, : ... And even yet? Don't dismiss a thing.
[10:07:01 PM] ~*Brian*~: All I can do is be there for that person, and
make sure they know that I am there completely.
[10:07:19 PM] ~*Brian*~: what do you mean?
[10:08:49 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I can't put everything into words...
Even what I've been able to say? Doesn't do much justice
to anything at all, and there's so much more to
everything.
[10:09:05 PM] ~*Brian*~: of course
[10:12:42 PM] ~*Brian*~: All that I've said has been complete honesty,
and from the bottom of my heart. I know you don't like
me probably, and I don't expect you to, but I at least
ask you to respect that.
[10:13:22 PM] Rain, rain, : ... How much time've you spent with her? I
just .. It makes me really curious, that you seem to
have strong conviction when you say things like "I don't
take her comfortable-ness with me for granted, thats for
sure as hell a fact." and "she's already said more than
enough to me to keep her there." and "I don't take one
loving thing that she says for granted" ... I just have
to wonder at you.
[10:13:49 PM] ~*Brian*~: we've been together.. 4 times? and talked
online for hours and hours.
[10:13:55 PM] Rain, rain, : Well, not strong conviction, but that you
believe firmly that that's how she is between you.
[10:16:05 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I dunno. I can't say much, because I
was about to say that that doesnt mean alot, but .. I
believe in the phrase "A day can last a lifetime, and
lifetimes can happen in a single day.", but ... It just
makes me sad, but hopeful, doubtful, and ... I dunno ..
[10:16:29 PM] ~*Brian*~: what do you mean by the hopeful doubtful,
etc.. thing?
[10:17:47 PM] Rain, rain, : ... Hoping that it's really as strong as
you feel it is, doubtful that it is that way, and ... It
just ... I dunno. It's odd ... It just ... It's odd.
[10:19:10 PM] Rain, rain, : ... Have you been shwing her all this?
[10:19:25 PM] ~*Brian*~: well, I can give you kind of an example of
her feelings and comfortable ness with me, if you
like..?
[10:19:46 PM] Rain, rain, : ... I'd ...I'd really rather not, but ..
Gah .. Yes, I'd like to see.
[10:20:08 PM] ~*Brian*~: well, it's not seeing, it's just citing
something..
[10:20:25 PM] Rain, rain, : ...bad diction. Whatever.Cite away.
[10:20:31 PM] ~*Brian*~: lol. sorry
[10:21:21 PM] ~*Brian*~: but anyways, the second time she was over,
she was comfortable enough to have her arms exposed,
which I know is an absolute HUGE thing for her to be
comfortable with around someone, if thats an indication
of anything, or if you can understand what that means..
[10:22:48 PM] Rain, rain, : ... It doesnt mean quite as much as it
would have before ... Before ..? It would have been an
-extreme- show of trust and comfort ... But she's trying
to get out of it ... She's been wearing short-sleeves
and such for a few weeks, maybe a month or a little
more. She wore a skirt for Halloween, and another one
without hose even 3 weeks ago.
[10:23:24 PM] Rain, rain, : And almost bought a bathing suit when she
was shopping for the skirt.
[10:23:32 PM] ~*Brian*~: well, it meant a lot to me at least.
[10:23:37 PM] Rain, rain, : *nods*
[10:24:34 PM] Rain, rain, : I'm glad, for that atleast, that you saw
it for how it could've been ... But I'm not sure you
knew it's true value to begin with ... Check out her old
journals, someday, from 2003-2004 ...
[10:24:59 PM] Rain, rain, : And early-ish '05, as well.
[10:25:31 PM] ~*Brian*~: she's told me about that..
[10:26:19 PM] Rain, rain, : ... She leaves alot out, when she talks
about it.
[10:26:32 PM] ~*Brian*~: I assumed that already.
[10:27:11 PM] ~*Brian*~: I obviously have a long way to go, and a lot
to learn.. I can't know everything there is to know
about a girl in a week and a half.. Even i'm not that
good. (bad time for a joke, but nonetheless, it's me..)
[10:27:30 PM] Rain, rain, : *frowns* Yes, it was a terrible time for a
joke ...
[10:27:55 PM] ~*Brian*~: i'm good for that
[10:28:06 PM] Rain, rain, : .. It's not a journey, and there are no
goals, Bri.
[10:28:31 PM] ~*Brian*~: I know.
[10:28:50 PM] Rain, rain, : And it's not an apprenticeship. There's
nothing to master.
[10:29:16 PM] ~*Brian*~: good analogy, and I know that as well.
[10:31:21 PM] ~*Brian*~: all I can do is be the most supporting,
caring, loving person imaginable for her, and always be
there for her.
[10:32:55 PM] * Rain, rain, go away, come again another day .. has
changed his/her name to ... There are worlds, hiding
behind words, and words with worls within ...
[10:33:06 PM] ... There ar: ^ Always know that.
[10:33:28 PM] ~*Brian*~: of course.
[10:33:40 PM] ... There ar: I'll let you go ... You've probably been
wanting to stop talking for a long time.
[10:34:08 PM] ~*Brian*~: no, not at all. if you want to stop, thats up
to you, but I'm not in any rush.
[10:35:15 PM] ... There ar: Toodles.
[10:35:37 PM] ~*Brian*~: Can I ask one simple yes or no question first
though?
[10:35:45 PM] ... There ar: Shoot.
[10:35:55 PM] ~*Brian*~: Do you hate me?
[10:37:21 PM] ... There ar: ..No.
[10:38:04 PM] ~*Brian*~: okay, good. I'm pleased about that at least.
I hope we can get back what we had at one point
sometime.
[10:38:53 PM] ... There ar: Maybe.
I don't forget things that matter.
But maybe.
[10:40:33 PM] ~*Brian*~: I can't expect you to rush back or anything
obviously, all I can do is extend the invitation of the
friendship we had, and hope you gradually accept it.
[10:41:49 PM] ... There ar: ... If I do accept it, Brian, it wont be
gradually, and it wont be the same. That's just lying to
yourself, in pieces. It'll be different, but it'll be
there.
[10:42:35 PM] ~*Brian*~: hmn..
[10:44:57 PM] ~*Brian*~: I respect your willingness to talk to me
about this, given the current circumstances and the
issue at hand.
[10:45:22 PM] ... There ar: ... You're doing it again.
[10:45:53 PM] ~*Brian*~: the dad thing?
[10:46:46 PM] ... There ar: Not just that it's a Dad thing, but that
you're making everything clear-cut, cordial, tasteless,
and cold-calculated.
[10:47:04 PM] ~*Brian*~: wow, i'm not even gonna pretend like I
understand what you mean.
[10:47:42 PM] ... There ar: *sighs, frowns deeply* I know.

[11:34:26 PM] They don't l: yeah
[11:38:08 PM] ... There ar: ... I just ... I hope this works out for
you. To me ... He just ... I dunno.
[11:39:28 PM] ... There ar: ... I hate spoiling this for you, beause I
feel it's a very, very special time when you exchange
it, but ... You'll still have that virgin-moment
(Admitting to love) because it's only special when you
can see their eyes and hear it...
[11:40:02 PM] ... There ar: .. There are worlds, hiding behind words,
and words with worlds within ... says:
...Do you love her?
~*Brian*~ says:
would you even honestly want me to answer that? with
common sense..
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
...Yes. I do. Infact, I feel it's very important.
~*Brian*~ says:
yes.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
Why do you believe you feel the way you do about her?
~*Brian*~ says:
it's not a belief, its a knowledge.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
You're dodging the question.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
Bad diction, if you will, on mine.
~*Brian*~ says:
no I'm not
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
... Then if you'd please answer it?
~*Brian*~ says:
I did.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
Okay, then; How do you know you feel that way for her.
[11:40:16 PM] ... There ar: .. There are worlds, hiding behind words,
and words with worlds within ... says:
... Then if you'd please answer it?
~*Brian*~ says:
I did.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
Okay, then; How do you know you feel that way for her.
~*Brian*~ says:
love is the most unexplainable thing that exists. you
can't explain it, you just know when you feel it.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
... Brian, you sound like a greeting card.
~*Brian*~ says:
blah, I always sounds like something.
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
...
~*Brian*~ says:
*shrugs* it's true
... There are worlds, hiding behind words, and words
with worlds within ... says:
I know.

if you'd ... Like to talk to him, alone, or ... Well,
it's the internet, it's still private, but without me
talking to you as well?
[11:47:13 PM] They don't l: no. i'm fein talking to you too, matt
[11:48:09 PM] ... There ar: *sigh* ... Is there anything else you want
to talk about, or feel needs to be said/discussed?
[11:49:19 PM] They don't l: not right now for me, but if you ever want
to talk, i'm here.
[11:49:30 PM] ... There ar: okay ..

[05:53:30 PM] ... I can't : What do you want this time?
[05:54:02 PM] ~Valentines : just chatting, there isn't anybody that I

[05:54:59 PM] ... I can't : ...oH thanks.
[05:55:19 PM] ~Valentines : and I usually talk to you when I'm on..
[05:56:40 PM] ... I can't : ...Yeah. If you can't tell, having a
pretty goddamn shitty time, over here.
[05:57:39 PM] ~Valentines : yeah, I know, but I also know you well
enough to know that no amount of apology would really
change anything, so there is no real purpose in trying
to.
[05:58:35 PM] ... I can't : ... It's not even just YOU, right now.
Ever think of that one?
[05:58:51 PM] ... I can't : ... You dont need to know much about me to

[05:59:15 PM] ~Valentines : I guess, I just more assumed it was the
whole situation with me and such now
[06:02:45 PM] ... I can't : Yeah. You're a biiig fucking part. But not
all.
[06:05:46 PM] ... I can't : My friend Haylee? The night I lost my
phone, last week? She was talking to me, crying, because
of a friend of her's who ran into a tree while skiing,
and has a shortterm amnesia. Her exboyfriend, was also
recently exposed as being a child molester. He's going
to an adult prison. He's 18. He was fingering a 5 year
old that vists with her mom every once in a while.
Holly? Collapsed, on the job, from burnout. She went
into the hospital. Leah? Battling cancer. Again. And
seemingly-eternal sickness. Me? Constantly, -always-
being crushed in some form, between you and Emma and my
mom and my dad. I could keep going. This isnt half the
shit I have to let run through my mind, every day.
[06:07:18 PM] ~Valentines : holy shit dude.
[06:07:26 PM] ~Valentines : its a miracle you're still vertical.
[06:07:38 PM] ... I can't : Holly, Haylee, leah, Emma, you, Fiona,
Natalie, Lily, Darby, Jessica ... They've all got a story. I used
to put myself in the middle of it all, because I had
strength, and people to draw on. Now? I've got NOTHING.
At-fucking-all.
[06:09:24 PM] ~Valentines : I stand by the same comment.
[06:12:13 PM] ... I can't : I'm ready to fucking snap. Leave me alone.
Go kiss my ex for a while. Play with her hair. Tickle
her feet. Caress her cheek. Give her eskimo kisses. Sing
songs with her on the living room floor. She likes all
that. But leave me the fuck alone for today. You can't
help me. And I dont need any more crap.
[06:13:43 PM] ~Valentines : ok, I'll respect your want for me to leave
you alone, just take care of yourself though, stay on
the top side of the grass.
[06:14:15 PM] ... I can't : Whatever you say, Brian ... whatever you
say ...
