Heartless
:I have a heart. I can feel it, right here... I have a heart.:
"You're disgusting."
My lips quirked, resting my hand on the cool metal in my back pocket.
"You're cruel, selfish, deceitful -"
I gripped the cold metal finally, and pulled it out for her to see. Her faced paled and her words came to a stop momentarily.
"You - you -"
"Me - me," I replied mockingly.
"You're heartless," she spat, using all of whatever strength was left.
I didn't reply. She wouldn't have heard either way.

I couldn't get her words out of my mind, which disturbed me to no end.
Think about it. Think about it. She was right, wasn't she? I am all those things she said I was. I am cruel, selfish, and deceitful. But I am not heartless. No, not heartless at all. Not one bit. Never, ever, ever, ever... ever. I'm not heartless. I can't be.
I have a heart. It's right here, under my shirt. I can hear it beating even, slow and even. It's speeding up now, though. That's worrisome. But at least it proves that I have a heart. I do have a heart. I do.
I do.
It makes my blood. It keeps me alive. I wouldn't be alive without my heart. That means I have a heart. After all, here I am, breathing and living. If I did not have a heart, I would on the ground, bloodless and dead.
I must have a heart. It it scientifically proven that every living human has a heart, therefore I have a heart and she was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I have a heart.
A/N: Short, but think about it :) I don't know whose POV it's from, so you can just guess who fits best :) It's definitely repetitive as well, but I think everyone repeats things when they're truly worried about something and want to prove it wrong. I do, my friends do, everyone does. Thanks to Joyce (Cascading Rainbows) for reading it over. (Pst, Joyce, I meant to put all of those tense changes :) No worries. He/She is talking about her saying it then, and him/her being it then.)
... one more update, then I am off :) Checkie my profilie for more info-ie. Hah.
