The lights blinded me because they were so damn bright. I shaded my eyes with my hand and squinted. Kaz was standing there in front of the stage. "Hey Kaz, tell those assholes to not make the lights so damn bright!" I yelled at him. He sighed. "You always have something to complain about, don't you, Yumi...?" Since I could finally fucking see again, I crossed my arms. "Pft. Only because you guys fuck everything up." Ami looked over at me. "Maybe you're being a bit harsh..." I looked back at her. "Maybe he's just a pussy."
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I glared at it. "How do you live with yourself...?" I slipped off my wristband and set it down. I returned my glare to the mirror. "Just because you're a rockstar doesn't mean you're worth a damn..." I picked up my razor blade and looked closely at my purpleish-blue eyes. "Maybe you need to be taught a lesson..." I put a drumstick between my teeth and bit down. I put the edge of the blade against my wrist. I bit down harder and dragged the corner of the blade across. I seethed in as I felt the blood run down my arm. I put down my razor blade and drumstick to wash off my arm. I wrapped the wound in gauze. Just as I was walking out, I heard a knock on my door. I quickly put my razor blade away and slipped my wristband back on. "Come in!" I called, straightening my wristband. The door slowly swung open.
"Yumi?" I turned to the door. Ami was standing in the doorway. "Come in, bro!" I threw on a smile and motioned her in. She stepped in and closed the door behind her. "Can I... Talk to you...?" She had a concerned look on her face. I gulped, but put the smile back on my face. "Yeah, sit down!" I quickly sat down, and she sat across from me. "So... What's up?" She looked at me with that sad look. I fucking hated it when she looked at me like that.
"Yumi... Have you been feeling... Okay... Lately?" She twiddled her thumbs. "Yeah." I put on the fakest look of concern I could possibly muster up. "And... You know you can talk to me about anything... right?" She stopped twiddling her thumbs and looked up at me again. "Yeah, of course! You're my best friend!" I put my smile back on. She smiled and hugged me. "Good, because you seemed really upset today and I wanted to make sure you knew that I'll always be here for you!" I went numb and hugged her back slowly. "Yeah." I pretended to sound happy.
"I'll be going then!" She skipped out of the doorway. "No problem!" I smiled, standing in the doorway. She turned around to wave at me. "Goodnight!" I waved back. "Night." I waited until she was out of sight before going back in. I slowly closed my door and sighed. I put my back against the door and sunk to the floor. I wiped the tears from my eyes.
" All you need is love! "
I paused and looked up. Ami was singing in the other room.
" All you need is love! "
I brought my knees to my chest and held my head.
" All you need is love, love... "
I let out a quiet sob.
" Love is all you need! "
