I sit atop the building, looking off into the distance until
“Hey Taylor, there you are.” His degrading voice said all so happily.
“Yep, how’d you find me?” How I wish he’d fall off the edge, but alas, his wings would save him regardless.
“You’re always up here dude, and I can see why. The views beautiful, you can see the entire Jungle from up here.”
“Yeah, it-it helps me think. It’s…calming.” Not that he’d know anything about that of course.
“Fair enough. Oh right, me and Avery found some really cool abandoned ruins we were about to go explore further, wanna join?”
“You’re still hanging out with Avery? He’s very…peculiar.”
“I guess, but he’s really fun!” He fiddled with his wings as he spoke. “Besides no one else hangs out with him and-“
“Samson. You’re the most popular kid in the entire Jungle, you know that you don’t have to hang out around people like him right?”
“W-Well I mean, sure, but he’s nice and it’s really fun hanging out with him-“
“I mean, both your parents are on the kingdoms council! Shouldn’t you be with the other popular kids?” I questioned. There was silence for a moment, him looking down at his feet probably contemplating what I said. Eventually he spoke again saying “I-I’m going to go meet up with Avery, he’s probably waiting for me.” He looked…unsure about something. “Alright, are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah, I’m just fine!” Before he took off he mumbled something, I couldn’t make it out. But he then told me “Maybe try to be more open-minded about things ok? You’re a good person and I want other people to see that!” with the biggest smile on his face. I hate that smile, I hate everything about his ever-loving soul. Just living with everything he could ever ask for, what has he even done to deserve that? That should be me, that should be mine, he doesn’t deserve this, he deserves nothing, I deserve-
“Mhm! I’ll try my best, see ya Samson!”
