Title: Why?
Author: K Gilmore
Summary: 150-word drabble. Emma angsts about the ravine and her distorted relationships with everyone around her
Why the fuck am I here?
I worked so hard to keep this place clean and these people have to come and taint it.
..And now I'm one of them.
How did I get here?
I'm no longer the Emma Nelson I was in grade 7 and 8.
I'm no longer Manny Santos' best friend.
No longer the ex-girlfriend of Sean Cameron. Or Chris Sharpe for that matter.
I'm not Mr. Simpson's step-daughter or Jack's older sister.
I'm nobody. Just another random face in the crowd searching for instant gratification.
I come here night after night and do so many things that I'm not proud of.
WHY?
The answer is perfectly clear to me. But, I think I refuse to believe it.
In my heart, I know I come because I love him.
