I'm somehow alive.439Please respect copyright.PENANAiIqRL9vBT6
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.439Please respect copyright.PENANAbCMlgbHJxn
I feel my body isn't mine. Like I'm somehow in control of my body but from a third perspective. My mind isn't focusing on anything, just a numb feeling of emptiness.
While feeling like that the other day, my primal fear of actually losing everything managed to spur me to go out to buy food from the supermarket.439Please respect copyright.PENANA2pEBk4KazP
My savings were going down, fast. My fridge was empty, and ordering delivery was no longer a choice.
It was a long walk. I bought a bunch of microwave food and things that were easy to cook. The bag felt like a deadweight.439Please respect copyright.PENANASVTAz1Cv7n
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?439Please respect copyright.PENANA6FZQ657C8W
Well, it was that kind of day. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAVk4HS3n2MK
As if the me watching from a third perspective had left the controller, and my character could no longer stand.
It was getting dark, so I sat down by a lamp post, and shut my eyes.439Please respect copyright.PENANAaT7wejWe9n

I didn't know how much time had passed, but a shake of my shoulders woke me up.
I don't really want to describe what happened next, but I guess I won't be around to feel embarrassed when anyone reads this.
"Hey, are you alright?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAF9knq2M8dJ
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.439Please respect copyright.PENANAW0cqbp8JXB
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.439Please respect copyright.PENANA6DR8ErJ00p
439Please respect copyright.PENANAP0XwdER9RX
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.439Please respect copyright.PENANA4eLelNGOlz
I didn't want anyone to see me like this. At the lowest of the low. Pitying me, who doesn't deserve a drop of pity.439Please respect copyright.PENANAEqJaw3CNuF
Much less someone I know.439Please respect copyright.PENANAx08UeacvPw
439Please respect copyright.PENANAWDQhqBl6bs
"...Hey. Hey..."439Please respect copyright.PENANA9cx6oBPvd9
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."439Please respect copyright.PENANATRw8jSdV6J
I got up. Stumbled up. A little too fast - so I reached towards the post to steady myself again. But not before my arm was grabbed.439Please respect copyright.PENANA6phbTlw5O4
439Please respect copyright.PENANA3J3MU3EKkt
"You...!" 439Please respect copyright.PENANA8bGPgRLZhe
I remember cursing in my head.439Please respect copyright.PENANARaBKw2dTua
Ah, fuck.439Please respect copyright.PENANA8C7Xzc7E28
Fuck.439Please respect copyright.PENANA9gn6chLAsg
It had to be you, didn't it.439Please respect copyright.PENANAQHR5aJky1y

Looking back, I don't want to admit it, but if it were anyone else, I might not be here, writing this now.
But needless to say, I was looking at the face of Mr. Perfect.439Please respect copyright.PENANAPaFf0eZfAO
Teacher's pet.439Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0swsyVZa
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.439Please respect copyright.PENANATk65l34mqr
The class president.
