《Cherry Cola》XI. Do All My Friends Hate Me?
Advertisement
I don't wanna feel like this forever..
After the pool party, I've been nonstop thinking about what I should do with my life since everyone's got theirs all figured out.
Currently, I'm sitting on my bed with my notebook out in front of me as I bite down on my tongue to keep me from crying.
I wanted to cry because I felt like everyone was actually leaving me and I didn't know why, except I did and there was nothing that I could do about it.
It was like I was useless because there was nothing that I could say or do to change my friends minds, this is their dream and I can't get in the way of it.
"Take me back to the night we met, I don't know what I'm supposed to haunted by the ghost of you."
I sang along to 'The Night We Met' by Lord Huron, it was my only way of expressing my emotions without feeling invalid or dumb.
Singing and song writing was the only way I could show people my emotions without it being a messy story, without people telling me it was something that I was able to get over.
That's not comfort, that's discomfort and you're making me feel like my feelings and words do not matter to you.
I sighed as I grabbed a pen and began to write the first lyric to the song, I didn't know what I was going to write but I just let my hands do the talking that I knew I could never do.
After about fifteen to twenty minutes, I stopped writing due to my hands experiencing some cramps.
I stared at my notebook with tears flooding my eyes making my eyesight go blurry, this is one song I didn't want nobody to read or hear or sing to.

I thought you would stay for awhile, thought that'd I'd be okay for awhile.
I counted the days to respond, all the ways to respond to you..
Did I already tell you that joke? 'Cause you already know how it goes.
I feel like I'm talking too much, or I don't say enough, um-hm..
I guess I'm annoying, sitting at home in my paranoia but I really adora ya..
Uh-hm..
Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy, like all my friends hate me.
Overthinking alone, no one picks up the phone, my anxiety tells me that you're better without me, now I'm crying alone, no one picks up the phone..
So somebody save me, save me, save me.
Do all my friends hate me, hate me, hate me?
I don't know..
I stopped at that part and sighed, I needed a moment to collect myself before I even decided to continue to write.
My dad always said I was good with words, it didn't matter if the song, poem or whatever I was writing was based on one simple emotion, I was good at expressing myself.
But when it came to verbal, I choked up and couldn't get what I wanted to say out.
It was as if my mouth was taped shut at the moment and whatever I wanted to say refused to come out of my mouth which resulted in tears.
Crying was my only way of communication, I didn't know what to say so I'd let my tears speak for me.
Whether it's angry tears, sad tears or happy tears, I would cry.
This was a special way for me, it was also the only communication I was taught growing up.
When your biological mother is working in the music industry, of course you're going to be learning this.

I closed my eyes and laid down on my back, staring at my ceiling as tears slipped down from my eyes and glided down the sides of my face.
The only thing I heard was the sound of my own beating heart which was beating loudly in my chest, it was like I was going into a depressive mode and I didn't want to because that's scary.
In my eyes, I would have nobody left at the end of the year and in my mind, everyone's already left me.
But physically, I know they're there and that they would never leave me but I wouldn't be able to prove that.
I don't wanna feel like this forever..
I whispered to myself as I cried even more, I didn't want to feel like I was some lost cause or some banana peel that would be discarded later on.
But I knew that this was all in my head and that it wasn't true nor real but that doesn't mean the little thoughts in my head would go away as soon as possible.
With every breath I took, it felt like my heart was getting closer and closer to bursting out of my chest.
I buried my head into my pillow as I cried even harder and louder, I laid there.
I lied there in my own pool of salty tears, because I was scared of abandonment.
Because I was scared of partial commitment, because I was afraid that when they leave, my issues would come back to haunt me.
But little did I know, they had already came back....

The Sorcerer
This is a fanfiction based on Harry Potter, written by JK Rowling. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, as fan fiction isn't what royal road is known for unless your book is called Borne of Caution, hear me out. This is based 200 years into the future. Hogwarts will be very different, and besides some references, we will follow no characters from the book. In my opinion, this is more of a new, mature, and more realistic version of that universe. If we want to put an analogy to it, I'm borrowing the house, but it's my furniture and things on the inside. Synopsis - 200 years since the battle of Hogwarts. The muggles know - magic is no longer a secret. Wizards and witches show their magical traits much later in life now, their powers weaker than previous generations... and to make matters worse, there is a steady decline in the wizarding population. Follow along as Lux, a muggle-born, shows the world what one determined young wizard can do.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
