I watched from afar. There was so much chaos here...I want to leave. No. I have to leave. "I have to leave." I said under my breath.
"Central. This place is horrible...So many murderers in this place. So much death. Why couldn't this happen to me?"
I sighed and started heading for my little "hideout" as I like to call it.
I climbed from branch to branch until I got up to my little hideout. I took my knife out of my pocket and slit my left wrist, then the right.
They healed instantly. "Dammit!" I hissed. "Why does this never work?!"
I sighed as I again tried to slit my wrists.
"I hate this life...There's something wrong with me...I know there is...Wounds like these don't just heal instantly, do they?" I said as the cuts healed in a red light.
"The hell if I know..." said a voice. I nearly fell off the branch from how I jumped. I stood up right on the branch and looked around.
"Who the hell...?" I whispered under my breath in shock.
"Heh, what's a girl like you doing way out here huh? Don't you belong in Central?" The voice said.
My heart racing, I answered the voice back. "No... Who the hell are you to talk? What about you?" I was going to cut my wrists again, but I was actually glad to have someone else to talk to. It was quiet. "Hey...I've got a question..."
"What is it? I probably don't have an answer..." said the voice.
"Are you really there? Or have I finally gone insane and started having hallucinations...?"
Again, it was silent. Then the voice spoke.
"No...I'm really here...And if anyone's the insane one...That'd be me..."
I snuck around the tree to where the voice was coming from, only to be face to face with a boy who looked a bit older than myself. I hesitated for a minute.
"Do I...Know you from somewhere?"
He shrugged and looked off towards the bright lights of Central. "I dunno...Do ya?"
His eyes met mine. I pulled back in surprise. I've never seen anyone with the same shade as mine!
"Let me guess...You're out here because people ignore you and hate you right?" He smirked and looked back out at the lights.
"Yeah, something like that..." I looked out to the lights.
"Central..." He said. "Heh, what could be worse huh?"
He chuckled a bit and grinned. "Military's after me...Father's mad as hell...And the others are ignoring me..." He frowned and his voice sounded lonely.
I sat beside him and set my hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't think you're the only one...I get ignored everywhere I go..."
I looked down at the ground and shuddered slightly. "I keep forgetting how scared of heights I am..."
He looked over at me and grinned. "If you fall...I'll catch you..."
I looked over at him and smiled.
"Alright. Thanks"
