AN: My very first story! I've had this written for almost a year now, so I stopped second guessing myself and finally posted it. I tried so hard to make this longer but if I add anything else, I'll give away the whole story. I promise the rest of the chapters are longer and I hope you enjoy! This is named after 'Animal' by Neon Trees.
Disclaimer: I do not own 'Animal' by Neon Trees. I don't own Degrassi either. Nope.
Outside, I'm so put together. Inside I'm crumbling, drowning in my own thoughts, consumed by my never ending sorrows. I thought I locked these monstrous insecurities away a long time ago, but now I can feel it's claws scratching the walls of my heart, doing anything and everything it can to escape.
I don't know how long it'll be until the monster consumes me completely.
Him. I'm afraid he's never satisfied. Always whispering sweet nothings to me and luring me into something believed to be deeper then simple infatuation. He took a bite of my heart, chewed it up, and spit it in my face.
No more lies for me to believe.
Her. My now worst enemy, turning into everything she once hated. A conceited, backstabbing, manipulative WHORE. Well, an attention whore. Becoming unnecessarily melodramatic and talking to any boy that glanced her way. That is, until he... never mind.
No more secrets to trust me with.
This may sound a bit like a cliche love story— I can assure you, it's anything but. My first love wrote a sick, twisted tale with my "best friend" being the protagonist and me being the antagonist with a motivation of jealousy. Why is it sick and twisted? You'll notice throughout this tale that he gets sidetracked quite a bit, and a few distractions was all I needed to add my own surprises and rewrite the ending.
My name is Clare Diane Edwards, I went against everything I once believed in, took on a new identity, ruined some friendships, and set fire to things I loved in less then year. Aren't you proud of me?
