You know she's staring in the mirror.

And you know her dark brown hair with those vibrant streaks is twirling around her fingers.

She's fidgety like that.

You hear her mumble something.

But you can't make out the words.

The door between you blocks out most of the sound.

She repeats it louder.

I'm ugly.

At first, you wonder what she's doing.

But then you realize what's happening.

She's saying these things to herself.

I'm worthless.

She groans, and you know she's frowning.

She's frowning because she hates her smile.

She's told you she hates it before.

You think nothing of it.

But you love that smile.

God, I'm so fat.

You shake your head at this,

because she's one of the most gorgeous women to walk on the planet.

You've never told her that.

You were scared she's punch you.

And she might have.

But she also might believe you.

Why can't I be pretty like Tori?

She wonders aloud.

You almost start to cry.

This is your fault.

You made her jealous of Tori.

You made her like this.

You made her feel

b r o k e n

like this.

She'd never admit it that this was because of you.

But it is.

You know it is.

Finally, you build up the courage to knock on her door.

And for a while, you pretend like you didn't hear what she said.

But you can't hold it in once she asks you what's wrong.

Because the

a n x i e t y

is eating away at you.

And your heart is

b r e a k i n g

right in front of her.

You made her feel

w o r t h l e s s

It was you.

She's clearly jealous of Tori.

You knew that.

You thought it was no big deal.

You thought she was being delusional.

You didn't know how much you were hurting her.

You know you shouldn't have kissed Tori.

But you did and you regret it.

Now, she feels like she'll never be good enough.

And all you can do now is hold her.

All you can do is tell her you love her.

All you can do is tell her she's gorgeous.

All you can do is tell her she means everything to you.

Because she's so perfectly flawed.

I'm sorry. This is odd + full of angst. Very different than what I usually write. I just needed to get some stuff out of my head, and I decided that I'd upload it since it's already finished. Opinions? xx
