I think it was Dennis who fucked me over, now that I think about it. Because when he and I stopped being so close, I fell away into a sort of depression, and I suddenly felt so alone. I didn’t have that close friend anymore. I did try, though. But then…
I just stopped trying. And I stopped trying with everyone. But let’s backtrack.
One thing, starts a snowball of things. Because I don’t express myself properly. I don’t let people in, because in truth, I get hurt. Very, very, very easily. I’m a very broken person, in reality, and maybe that’s why I try so hard to make everyone else happy, and hope for their cheerfulliness. Because. I. Don’t. Want. Them. To. Feel. The. Way. I. Do.
I do know the terrible loneliness. I do. Try being alone–completely. The last kid to be picked up at camp. At school. Sitting and waiting. Waiting at home. Waiting at the babysiters house.
Years and years of hurtful loneliness. So maybe I snapped, and maybe–maybe–there’s something wrong with me. But whatever it is, I do know I did it to myself. To choose such over reality has to be saying something. I know loneliness, I know it so well that I cannot be left alone.
At all. At anytime.
Isn’t that horrible? I cannot, literally, be alone, because I snap. Because I can’t handle it. I can’t just go to the mall by myself, I can’t be home alone by myself, I can’t do anything by myself. Somedays its so bad I have to follow people around everywhere.
I don’t become suicidal, that isn’t the problem. I’ll destroy the house, I’ll scream and cry, and I may even try and hurt myself–but never have I been suicidal. I don’t want to die, and I never will. I just…
I go crazy.
And this is another reason that I don’t do close relationships. Or rather, why I didn’t. But then there was Dennis–and he become a constant. But then, I wanted away, and he pulled in the other direction as well.
And then there was the Mall Group. But the mall was a constant stress to me–too many people. The dirstraction, however, was often brilliant. The group was nice. But I struggled being myself, as I often do. The sarcastic, somewhat cunning and manipulative person I tend to be–because it seemed much easier to be a childish person. I had finally gotten the type of attention I longed from my mother in the eyes of the people.
And I do like Billy, as I like Sarah, and Brandon, and Snarf and never Face. Okay, I sometimes liked Face–in fact, I did like Face. In a friendly, never romantic, manner. That’s how it always was–and I wanted to pretend it different. I wanted to fit in.
But Shane. I should have known then.
Anyway.
I feel bad. I feel awful. I feel awful that I get hurt by Snarf, and that I’d admit it. And I’m ashamed to let the wound grow deeper and deeper, so much that I couldn’t pretend anymore, and I started moving away.
And I’m left wondering if I’m selfish for wanting my own happiness? And that while knowing she’s suicidal, I’m not going to do a thing about it, like I’ve never done for anyone else. Molly’s sister is that way too, and Molly didn’t tell.
Will says it’s like saying you don’t care if that person kills themselves, and that Molly should’ve told. And I think to myself, am I wrong for not telling an adult? And what are my reasons for not telling? Because I’m afraid? Do I just not want to get involved? Is it too much drama for me? Or because I just don’t think she would?
I also wonder why it’s always up to me, thus making me the bad guy? Constantly. I’m always the bad guy to someone in someway. Always. I don’t go to the mall, thus it’s my fault Snarf’s depressed. I can’t be the friend she needs, thus it’s my fault she wants out of life.
And this Lynn-Doug thing is ticking me off.
This all is more then I signed up for. I failed with Dan, I was there for him so much, and then I let him go, and then…
I’m so happy, and I suppose I’m angry that I finally have things going nice for me, and then… then things are terrible, like if I’m happy, people around me just can’t deal with that.
And thus, I find new friends who are happy. Like Wally. Wally can make me laugh, and I him, and we have things in common.
So does that make me awful? I try and run away from everything else and look for happier things? Does that mean I like to give up? No. It doesn’t.
I just can’t deal with being the problem. I don’t want to go to the mall, and I don’t want to have to be reminded about being the thing that upsets her, and I don’t want have to feel like shit everytime she says something because I’m just not good enough and I’m not a good friend.
I can stick to Molly thick and thin, and stay up all night with her, helping her with her problems. And fuck, I’m loyal. And yes, I’ll be there if needed, but this…
I’m sick of being hurt over and over and over again. Either my writing isn’t like hers, or I’m too happy, or it’s a compition, or she’s angry about an energy drink, or she’s angry but don’t worry she’s not anymore, or I’m stupid in my relationship or I’m somehow spiting her by doing shit she wanted to do with her boyfriend, or I’m just toooo shizophrenic and I need help. I just… I dunno. I’ve been hurting. I mean, fuck, at least Dennis could make me pee myself with laughter. It’s like every damn thing I do is wrong.
I’m sorry if it’s selfish that I just don’t wanna go to the mall, or that I don’t want to hear the newest thing that you’re angry about dealing with me–but I could die at any minute, and I have a lot of shit that I’ve been through.
And I think it really sucks, because you’re a really fucking great person, and not many people get close to me like you have. And I will defend you to people, and I will defend your relationship to anyone who questions it, and I’ll always speak highly of you. And I really hope you have a nice happy life and relationship, and I’m sure you’ll have lovely kids, and a nice house, and your life will go great.
I just don’t know if we’ll be friends for much longer.
