Don't read if you don't like the good side/bad side stuff, the next part will have less of it :)
(Emotional angst stuff)
"Our office..."
I step forward, into the room. Its whitewash walls seem bare and empty, the shelves lacking of any books even the desk is clear.. The shiny mahogany desk, the way light bounces off of it is spellbinding...
"boo!"
I turn around Looking for the source The source of the sound
"Hello there, enjoying OUR office?"
I peer round the doorframe Nobody there But inside I know where the sound is from From me From the me I don't want Don't like Don't need
"What was that, you don't NEED me! Of course you need me, how else are we going to live out my dreams... Sorry, our dreams?"
I stop And stand And stare
At the shiny mahogany desk But it's not the desk That stops me Dead in my tracks It's the reflection The reflection in the wood The face Her smirk Her blue eyes Her long hair He-
"Mother told us its rude to stare you know, not that we ever listened.. She never loved us, ever, she only leaches onto us now, for the mo-"
STOP! I yell I know its the truth But the truth hurts Especially Out of our own mouth Or should I say hers.
"Hit a soft spot with that one, didn't I"
She grins at me With her Nasty grin The way it works With the dark greens The dark Dark Dark Greens of her suit It's almost mesmerising But at the same time scary
"We both know it's true, All she would say is, Why don't you look like her? Why don't you have hair like her? Why don't you have any friends?..."
That's not true I have friends Sort of I have my boyfriend I have...
"You have me, and that's all we need, stuff them, if they weren't there for our failures, they can't expect to be there in our success"
But, They are our family... What ever you say...
"if they were family to us, they'd have been there, fixed us when we were broken, they wouldn't have said those nasty nasty, things they did"
They were just joking around, they never meant that stuff
"sure They didn't, how can you be so sure.. I know they did, and they WILL regret it"
But...
"we don't need them, look at us, look at what we've achieved!"
