"You're like the cup of coffee that I have to drink every morning. You keep me going when I'm not sure I have it in me. You keep me up from giving up on everything."
Prologue - Revelations
Cody's POV:
Everything seemed to move in slow motion. As I was walking through the school corridors, everyone had their eyes glued to me. Delirious.
A burning desperation desolated inside of me.
My walking changed into jogging.
My jogging changed into running.
Running turned into a full-on sprint.
I didn't know whether I was running towards something or running away from something. I couldn't figure out what that "something" was.
Was I out of my state of mind?
Did I just have the audacity to do something so stupid that it was worthy of consideration for the whole school to carelessly gossip on?
I didn't care anymore. My façade, that protected my true self was broken.
For all of this time, it was me, myself and I against the whole world. No one. My silence was just another word for my pain.
I knew I had to get out of this realm… I needed to find my safe haven.
End POV:
A certain someone was crying miserably in the background of all the blinding attention. Someone who inevitably cared for him. Someone who never realized the significance he brought to this person and some other hidden figure who left and was never coming back. It hurt when their eyes opened and saw the bigger picture staring fervently back at them. Mocking them. It was a revelation that hit this someone so much harder than they had ever anticipated.
It was all too late…
