'How,' You think, sitting next to Aphmau who looks like she hadn't slept in days. Neither of you slept in days, really.

'How..did this happen?' 

The last few days had felt like a fever dream.

No, not even a dream.

A nightmare.

A hellish, torturous, non-stop nightmare.

You touched your neck and shivered.

The scar didn't hurt anymore.

Not physically, anyway.

But the memory of how you got it..?

Still stings.

Both scars do.

Aphmau pulled you close to her, causing you to flinch.

That broke her heart.

"Are you okay?" She whispeared.

You wanted to snap at her.

Really, you did.

But..you couldn't bring yourself to do that.

She wasn't in her right mind.

Not her, Not Zane, Not Aaron. Not...

...

"No..I'm not." You didn't miss the sob your mother pushed back into her throat.

"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry..." She apologized, beginning to cry.

You were so tired of hearing her sobs. It was starting to wear you down. And saying it's okay would make her stop. It would give her some peace of mind.

But...is it okay?

...

No.

No, it's not.

So you turned away, ears suken to the sides of your head.

....Your thoughts are kind of loud this time around, aren't they? And..they don't even sound like your own.

That's worrying.

But this brings us back to the question,

How and why did this happen? How did things turn south so quick?

...Ah.

That's right.

It all started in the car.

'I think you knew that aready though.'

~~~

"1 bottle of milk on the wall, one bottle of milk!" "You take one down," "Pass it around," "1 bottle of milk on the wall!" You, Kim, and Garroth sang.

The three of you laughed when you finished while Aarons eye only twitched in slight annoyance.
