Skylar

It's pathetic how desperate you are to get his attention. You are an embarrassment.

When will you realize he will NEVER be yours?

He'll never fall for a psycho who can't keep herself together without throwing a tantrum.

You will never be good enough for him.

He puts up with you because he pities you.

Any ounce of self-worth left just went out the window. Skylar has always treated me like crap and made me feel I will never be good enough. She constantly belittled me and made me feel small. She was always jealous whenever Maverick paid attention to me or cared for me when I had one of my episodes. It was like she enjoyed seeing me suffer. She would watch me struggle and not offer any help.

I never fit in at school and had a difficult time trying to make friends. As a kid, I was always a bit different. I loved painting, reading, and learning new things, but my classmates didn't share my interests. I found myself feeling isolated and alone, even in a crowded classroom. I tried to make friends, but everyone already had their groups and cliques. I felt like an outsider, always looking in at the social scene but never quite able to join in. She was good at playing the damsel in distress when she was anything but. And the stupid boy would jump at every turn she made. It was a trait I both hated and loved about him.

With shaky hands, I tuck my phone in my back pocket and try to focus on my work, but it doesn't help.

Her words scream in my head, and I can't shut her up.

He'll never fall for a psycho.

You are an embarrassment.

He will NEVER be yours!

You will never be good enough for him.

My heart is beating erratically against my chest.

I can hardly breathe.

He'll never fall for a psycho.

I need to get out of here.

You an embarrassment.

Like I’ve been kicked, I jump out of my seat. I walk out of the office and down the hall to the bathroom on wobbly legs.

Pushing the door open, I hold onto the wall for support until I can grip the edge of the counter.

Breathe, Skittles.

Seth?

Yeah, Skittles. You didn't think I left you, did you?

I hold back a sob.

I am always with you, sis. I need you to breathe.

He will NEVER be yours!

Skylar's words are killing my soul; I worked hard to put myself together and find that self-worth.

Don't listen to her Skittles.

Tears leak from my eyes.
