“Have you ever just wanted to scream on top of a mountain or cry until your knees go weak and you collapse? Even if your voice becomes raspy and you scrape your delicate skin on the cold, hard ground, you keep screaming and crying because the pain feels better than feeling nothing at all. Do you cry yourself to sleep every night because your just so miserable and tired? Tired of the numbness, tired of the constant voices in your head, just tired of the world. Do you ever hate yourself because the one person you knew and loved, will never love you back and you just don’t know why? Do you ever feel that complaining about your horrible, painful, empty life, would just make you seem selfish, so you bottle up all of your feelings and hide them where no one can find them? Everyday you put on a mask with a fake smile and forced happiness, so everyone thinks you’re okay, but you know your dying inside. All of your feelings come back to haunt you and swallow you up like a black hole. Don’t you ever feel that way?” Clara asked as tears streamed down her face. Her cheeks were bright red and her eyes were bloodshot.
    “I..I can’t sa..say tha..that I have.” Peter exclaimed. His face was also tear stained as he listened to what Clara had to say.
    “Oh...because that’s how I felt when you left me.” Clara cried, her voice soft and weak like a mouse.
     “I’m so sorry Cla-”
     “Yea, well I’m sorry too Peter. I’m sorry for being who I am. I’m sorry for falling for you. I’m sorry that your heart was so weak that it couldn’t even carry my love for you.” Her voice cracked as Peter’s heart sunk.
      “I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have left you and i’m sorry for all of the times i’ve hurt you. You didn’t deserve any of it. Please forgive me. I can change.” He said.
      “No! No more second chances. You’ve hurt me more times than I can count. And maybe I did deserve all of the pain you caused me. I deserved it because I was stupid enough to love you.” yelled Clara as she got up and left, and that was the last time Peter had heard from her.
