Please don't hit me! Read the Chapter first! XD (Full AN + apology at the end)

Vriska's POV

The next morning I'd woken up with a dead feeling inside and a stinging that licked up my arm, the fresh scars throbbing. I didn't really care, though. I mean...I hadn't cut for years; the scars had healed to the point where they're invisible with the help of makeup. But last night was the first time I'd ever had an emotion-overload since quitting and I didn't know what else to do.

I crept out of my room, hesitating at the top of the stairs, listening. Kanaya and Lalonde were still asleep, I think. I hurried downstairs, pausing in the kitchen. I wasn't very hungry. In fact, I felt like if I ate something, I'd puke it up. No breakfast for me then! I grabbed my bag, shrugged into my jacket, and slipped my headphones on. Closing the door behind me with a tired, angry shove, I hurried down the sidewalk, blasting my music.

Waking up your neighbors downstairs,
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years.
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
That I want you in the most unromantic way...

Tears pricked my eyes, but I forced them away. I don't care about Kanaya. Not at all. Frig her! I don't care. I don't care...

Oh, Louisianna...you're torturing me with a beautiful face!
Ana, I thought we had a damn good thing...
Penny in a couch and a diamond ring...

How could she do this to me? I though she loved me. I thought I was her world. She was...is mine. I pushed my pace faster, into a fast jog.

So baby stay away from my friends
'Cause I need them to carry me
When it's over I'll count back from ten
And you can listen to glass hearts shattering...

Maybe she'd love me more than Rose if I weren't so...me. Nobody ever loves me. It's impossible. Who the fuck would love damaged goods? I'm useless.

I don't know how you got into me.
Down my throat, made a hole in my viens.
Used to be the rivers that would take us away
And now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday
I still can't beleive how you look next to me.
Just like a strip club bedroom scene...

You know what? I've had enough. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and I need to pull my walls back up. Because no one can hurt you if no one can get close.

Well, you don't know what it's like
To wake up in the middle of the night
Scaring the thought of kissing razors
This blood evacuation
Is telling me to cave in, stay away, away
Just stay away from my friends...

I jam the off button on my mp3 with more force then neccesairy and shove the doors of the shitty second handshop open. I don't have enough money to shop anywhere else, and I need some new shirts thanks to my new, ah, body "features".

The clerk shoots an unfriendly look at me from over his magazine and I glare back. It doesn't take long to pick out a few long sleeve shirts and I'm done and home in fifteen minutes, flat.

Kanaya and Lalonde don't seem to be awake yet, so I hurry upstairs and stash my shirts into my drawers, with the exception of one, which I slip on.

I stand there for a moment, hurt and pain licking throughout my body, but yet, at the sametime, I feel nothing. Numb to the world.

And you can listen to glass hearts shattering...

I don't know what to do with myself.

Kanaya's POV:

"Alright, bye..."
I closed the door after Rose, breathing a sigh. Thoughts swirled around my head, making me dizzy, but one surfaced to the top:
Vriska. She'd hidden herself away the whole time Rose was here, and now I'm kind of worried.

I made my way back upstairs and knocked on Vriska's door.

"Vriska, Rose just left. Do you want to do something?" Silence. Then;

"No." I blinked, surprised at the snarl that replied.

"Uhm...why not?" I asked. The door swung open to reveal Vriska, her hair up in a messy ponytail, wearing faded jeans and a long sleeved, blue v-neck.

"Oh, I thought you'd be arranging your next date with Lalande" She sneered, hatred dripping into her voice as she said Rose's last name. Irritaion boiled inside of me.

"Her name is Rose." I said through gritted teeth. Vriska scowled.

"I don't care." She snapped. I glared at her.

"What the hell, Vriska! What's gotten into you? What's your problem?!" I snarled. Vriska jerked backwards, as though hit. Her eyes, which looked tired now, gave me a cold look as she slammed the door in my face.

I just stood there, stunned.

What happened to us?

Vriska's POV:

It felt like a slap in the face. Those words, that sentence. What's your problem? They echoed through my mind over and over, as though on repeat. Hurt and betrayel coursed through me as the one I trusted most, the one who meant the most to me, stabbed me with the worst knife that she could.

"Maybe my problem is that I'm still alive." I whisper softly

Alright. Waaaaaay overdue, I know, I'm so, so sorry! Two reasons. 1:My Playbook, which I use to write my chapters, has decided to hate me and refuses to turn on! (I swear to god that it's fully charged!) 2. Writers block. uugh. This chapter just came to me now (At sisters house :33)

Anywho. The song here is "Stay away from my friends" by Pierce the Veil. Reeeeally good song; I highly recommend it ;DD

Anywho(2) Hoping to have the next chapter up ASAP. I won't abandon the story! I swear! XD I'm just slow!

Thanks to all the reviewers and hope you liked this chapter :
