Status Updates From You Ruined Me

“There was now something driving him.
Revenge.
You.”

“It should have clicked for me then but it didn’t. I was too busy adoring you to be suspicious of you.”

This girl, this woman who clearly had feelings for you, stepped closer and tugged at the collar of my dress. I jerked away.

She smiled coldly. “I see he hasn’t changed.”

“If someone had told me then what you did, what you would do, I would have cursed their name. I would have ripped their tongue from their mouth.

For in that moment, I would have died for you.
I would have killed for you.
Burned for you.
That was how you made me feel.
Like you were worth something. Worth everything.”

“Then, I had to be brave. I had to be strong. But around you I felt safe. I could crumble.”

“You again.” Her eyes narrowed. “Are you stalking us now?”

“Yes.” You said it so openly that no one would have ever suspected it to be true.

“A whore is what people call women when they are threatened by them. It says more about the person who uses it than the person it is used to describe.”

Keying in the lock code, I pressed on the new message. ‘It was nice to meet you Sophie Rush.’

“Maybe I was attracted to things I hated. Maybe that’s why I noticed you. Subconsciously, I knew that one day I would hate you.”
