Apart forever.



People were once angels before they came to the world.

As I wore my coat, I remembered mummy's words.

They lived happily with God and without worries.

I wore my watch.

Everyone was everyone's friends. There was no partiality.

I fastened my belt.

They walked streets of gold with God by their sides.

I slipped my feet in my shoes and did the laces.

Their smiles and laughter were genuine.

I slung my bag over my shoulder.

There was no pain in their hearts. They were very light.

Finished dressing, I paused and looked into the mirror. I had perfectly made up my face to look exactly like her... for the last time.

"It's time to go home, Becky." I whispered to the mirror. "And we're going together."

As I stepped out into the rain, a chill ran down my spine. It was cold.
But what was colder, was the gun, underneath my clothing, at my side that pressed to my naked skin.

"I don't care if you're not ready." I clenched my teeth and balled my fists. "Things will go back to what they were before."

She was sitting at her desk. Her long hair pulled back to a thick black bun. Her eyes burned the pages of a book. I rolled my eyes. She was the most passionate bookwarm I'd ever met and it always showed in her grades. I touched the gun at my side. It was beginning to feel too heavy. My heart began to beat faster. A sweat broke out on my forehead. I sighed and wiped it off. "There's no going back now." I told myself. "Besides, it's all for the best." I pushed the door open wider.

She looked up at me, surprised to see me. I looked at her. She had perfect eyes, a semi-pointed nose, pink lips, long hair and pretty dimples that threatened, even with the slightest smirk. It was the reason for my hate. The hate that had turned to pain and had refused to let go of me. The pain I slept with everyday and woke up with. The pain that threatened to choke me if I didn't do what was on my mind.

"Rebecca," I said, remaining a blank expression.

"Yes?" She smiled at me, dropping her book.

I swallowed. I knew this was going to be hard.

"We're going home."
