Hidden Feelings

Chapter 16 - Fire Breathing Monster

You know, life is strange.

One moment, you're at your highest. You're happy and you feel like nothing is ever gonna bring you down.

But the next moment, life is like, "No, I have to drag you down, you're too happy right now."

Unlucky things happen to you and I feel like that is my current situation right now.

I am currently lying down on my bed and contemplating about my life. I have just lost two of my bestest friends to a silly fight.

Was I being too selfish?

Did I like my selfishness crowd the way of my friendship?

I was too harsh, really, I admit.

I should really apologise to them.

Sighing, I stood up and wore my Chuck Taylor's, ready to walk to their houses and apologise.

But would they accept my apology?

I wouldn't blame them if they didn't. I was too terrible as a person. They did not deserve treatments like that. Maybe I should buy them a "I'm sorry" gift.

Yeah, okay, I thought as I headed for Walmart.

Anything was way better tham drowing in my guilt in the comfort of my bedroom.

I threw on my sweater before I left the house in case it got too cold and unbearable. Like my feelings.

The walk to Walmart was short and I thought carefully of what I was to say to them later on.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to snap at you really. I'm really very sorry, please accept my apology."

That sounded so desperate.

But who said I wasn't?

Whatever, they had been my friends for so many years that I figured it would be better to go unarmed.

Thanks to them, I ignored all Jai's calls and texts because I was so guilty.

Yeah, I'm not the best person I admit.

The walk to Walmart was as bad as it gets.

A bird pooped on my hair and as a car skid on the road, it splashed water on my clothes and face. The water was muddy and disgusting.

And then as a final slap to my face, the rain poured down suddenly in torrents.

Great, just great, I thought as I plodded through the rain unhappily.

It's safe to say that I arrived at Walmart looking like some poor hobo wandering around everywhere. Yep, me.

I'll just get them some ice cream.

I plodded my way to the freezer section and there were only four left.

Why does Walmart always run out of supplies? What business is this? How outrageously outrageous! Does it want me to boycott them? Huh?? Walmart?? Speak for yourself!

"Ha sucker!" a fat kid of twelve yelled. "Mine now!"

He grabbed three of them and ran away as fast as his fats could carry him. Well, it was rather slow.

Obnoxious kid!

I would have slapped him silly but today wasn't the day.

One. I might as well take it.

As I reached out, a hand slapped mine away and took it instead.

"What the hell," I raged. "Who is it now?"
