Chapter 7
Daren’s POV
I went home and wrote my essay. I told the story of a boy who insulted a girl he loved because he thought that would help him keep her. They were young and he thought ignoring her would make her like him, but she didn’t like him for that reason. He ignored her for longer and longer lengths of time. He thought then he could keep her but she left and he never saw her again.
Arya’s POV
I tried to write it down, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t tell the story of a girl whose neck was snapped by a punch. So I wrote about a boy whose skin was covered in circular burns that lived in darkness who fell in love with a girl filled of light who had the power to heal him. It was stupid and superhero cheesy, but it was the only way I could deal with the story.
Daren’s POV
I feel empty.
I shouldn’t have said anything, she still probably hates me and she sits with that boy who hugs her and checks her eyes for tears every second. But at the same time I’m glad I told someone.
I climb into bed and pull the sheets up over my stomach, tracing the puffs of flesh from red hot nicotine.
