[Bar]

how many people actually think about the actual road they want...then again they always talk about the read string of faith bullshit ha!

4 years together just blew away to thin dust so what's the point of having to constantly check my phone to see 1 message that seems to never pop up.

Adore: hey Micky another one nah make that a double

Mickey: baby girl you've been downing these shots like there's no tomorrow

Adore: it would have been better if I was able to cry about the departure but -

Mickey: but what? Hey, Adore you know I love you but you keep mumbling under your breath just what are you talking about?

Adore: He's gone Mickeeeee

Mickey: I'll ignore your exaggeration on my potato mash honeycomb of a name

Adore: seriously! console me dammit...Mickeee

Mickey: hahaha alright but seriously who's gone? Are we talking about the dead or the living?

Adore: (blank face) - -

Mickey: should I get some onions for you to finally let those tears fall

Adore: Wow some best friend you are man

Mickey: I did ask who but you didn't answer hunny

Adore: we've been together for 4 years I'm talking about Angel, Mickey he let me go

Mickey: why am I not even surprised I mean circumstances aside though he may seem lovely I always thought he suffered from inferiority complex

Adore: really? how so

Mickey: Adore you guys been together since high school have you never once thought how much your personality might affect him? Adore you're like a void that nothing fills I know you've been through alot and so has he. Maybe it's because both of you are so similar you know. It's like two voids coming together trying to fill each other but the void only gets bigger.

Adore: I'm really the problem after all huh...the first time I met Angel I flat out rejected him because he dated someone I was friend's with but like a moth drawn to a flame I kept wanting more of him hahaha (crying) Micky I want it all to end so much my life, the pain...sometimes I think it would have been better if we've never met he's too silent and I'm too twisted.

Mickey: ...

Adore: I think I've corrupted him, to me he was a pure forbidden fruit and like eve I took a bite because of my own temptation. The saddest part about it all isn't that I'm not crying but that I'm slightly happy he let me go.

Mickey: oh no baby. I'm off the clock right now wait right here amma change and come back...hey Adore I mean it DONT MOVE.

I forgot to mention he isn't entirely at fault I suppose the fault lays solely on me I neither cared too much nor cared too less, he wanted someone and so did I...we just somehow ended up in love but we probably loved so much that our love became empty. Have I always been this way? nonchalant. no the pain I feel is there just buried deep down, am I-

Mickey: hey pumpkin I'm back

Adore: i don't know how Sara got married to your flirtatious ***

Mickey: hey hey you're like my daughter so don't sweat it besides Sara treats you like our little sweetheart...even made me sleep on the couch because of you

Adore: hehehe what was that couldn't hear you

Mickey: I said didn't I tell you not to move? I left you at the counter now your at a table

Adore: (smiling) hey I'm supposed to be sad here what's with all this bubbly sweet talk. (mumbling) your just 2 years older than me senpai

Mickey: I'll never understand your love for those comics and cartoons you read then your random use of words. what was it again Japanese or Korean?

Adore: hahahaha (evil laugh) Senpai

Mickey: eughhhh that gave me the chills

Adore: then don't call it cartoon and comics its ANIME and MANGA you hear me ANIME! and MANGA!

Mickey: (frantically looks around) shhhh shhhhh shush are you trynna wake up a whole barn rn... phew your gonna be my second death after Sara

Whack!

Adore: damn Micky hahaha why would you slap your face so hard is it made from steel

Mickey: (l**augh-smiling) you finally laughed since you came in 2 hours ago. let's go this dad will take you home

Adore: since when did I get a new Dad Huh!

[exit bar]

Mickey: it's a blessing from God besides your apartment is a few minutes away

Adore: smls come on then Dad

Mickey: sighs honestly Adore

Adore: hmmm honestly what? ... blehhhhh it's so chilly tonight

Mickey: deep breath...ha Adore sometimes I wonder why the world looks so black and white to you. Sara and I knew you since middle school but you've only ever told us things you wanted us to know, we don't understand why you have this constant wall around yourself. Arhhhh! I've never been good at this sighs what I'm trynna say is we'll wait for you until you trust us enough to open up alright.

Adore: sigh Mickey it's not that I don't want to open up I just don't know how you know. you and Sara have always been right there for me, my threshold that keeps me sane. I constantly feel like I'm in a box within a box watching myself from that glass box you know but deep down I knew I didn't want to be understood.

Mickey: watch where you're going there's a puddle infront of you

Adore: mmmm thanks...Dad

[Adore's Apartment]

Mickey: whenever I talk to you I always end up questioning my life, ain't I the one supposed to be advising you. Adore sometimes I feel like your fading away slowly day by day. I'm honestly scared I'll lose you, you've always said what's on your mind until you start getting silent...Adore just please tell me my concerns are unwarranted, tell me you'll always be there with us.

Adore: (smiling) of course. Goodnight Mickey and tell Sara I love her.

Mickey: I should've known that smile was a fake since Adore never fully smiles but before I could read into it we were already too late because that smile wasn't a goodnight but a goodbye.

[Adore's Apartment window]

I wish I could say sorry Mickey, I wish I could say I'll be there forever but the truth is I'm tired of being tired.I just want to rest and be free of it all and most of all I want to set the both of you free from me.

click (closing locket)

Musky window sills with dried frames and the lingering scent of lost time. I wonder if the grim reaper feels happy knowing his plans for me are going as planned because my heart feels dead yet I still feel alive.

I'm working adequate money but never had interest in luxuries maybe it's because I knew I'd be leaving everything behind when I'm gone.

sighs let's finish packing the flights in three hours. I still remember it was the day I after you both finished your honeymoon you both came banging on my door 7 o'clock in the morning screaming " our beloved daughter we've come to get you".

thinking back then even though we were just friends I saw you guys as the parents I never had how I wish I had ...hpm this is getting too nostalgic I still remember how you and Sara both screeched when I finally opened the door you both were like "ahhhh ghost"

hahaha yo-you (voice cracking) guys ju-jus-t got ba-ck sniffles from your ho-ney-moon but chose to come and see me an-d called me daughter stupid voice stop cracking despite being close in age.

smls you guys even took me out and took a family photo together sobs sniffles ahhh I'm gonna miss you guys but I'm sorry I can't bring you guys with me because I have nothing left to keep me attached.

If Sara was here she'd probably be rolling on the ground now looking at me saying goodbye to a locket...but this is the only goodbye I have the courage to give so

goodbye to you my best friends and goodbye to you my parents and goodbye to you locket for this table shall be your resting place

Adore: this suitcase is quite light hmmm tsk ha ahhhh phew kinda feels good to say goodbye to this old place and all the memories with it.

[Close apartment door]

my chest felt lighter and lighter with each step I took away from that rusty iron door it feels as if my pain is being pushed back the further I go...I feel content in this very moment.

rolling sound

Adore: tsk tsk damn this rolling sound is annoying if only I didn't need this suitcase its too loud.I can feel the eyes poking holes on my back like come on! how long are you gonna follow me. all the way to the airport!

Whack

Adore: ouch slapped myself too hard there

honk honk

phew the cabs just in time or I'd have to book it

Nah this is outright creepy now man. I'm at the airport but they still keep following me. I took a cab thinking it was just a coincidence but its not.

alright Adore just keep walking and figure this out. it's not bloodlust or hostility hmmmm no no wait! what if Sara or Mickey came back and saw me leaving tsk tsk hmmm should I call and ask? no that won't do, if it's not them and I call they'll get suspicious tsk tsk Yada Yada Yada. This is a crowed area I should be fine...right?
