It's Aika, again with a Hotaru fic. Based on real life... WHY DOES MY
STUPID MUSE THRIVE ON DEPRESSION?!?!

Oh well.

Disclaimer: Sailormoon belongs to me, at least that's what the voices
say... *intense sarcasam*


~* Don't Take Me for Granted


I know I should be happy for her. She's going back to the future, her
home. I should be happy. But I'm not. I really didn't get to see her
much, but we used to talk on the phone for hours. We always used to
comfort eachother. I could always make her laugh. I knew she had other
friends, like Momo-chan, and sometimes she'd invite them over more than
me. She always seemed to forget to tell me when Momo-chan was over. I
was jealous. But that never got in the way of our friendship. I
should've been happy when I found out that she could go home early. But
I wasn't. I was angry. I would've been able to see her on Thursday, but
she was leaving Wendsday morning.

The phonecall. . .

"Hotaru!! Guess what?!?!"

"What Chibi-Usa-chan??"

"I'm going home!!"

"You are?" My voice was caustic, definately not a normal "me" thing.

"Yeah!! Isn't that great???"

"We were going to go to the movies!?!? And I thought you didn't want to
go!!" My voice had a hysterical edge.

Then there was dead silence.

"But I do"

I don't remember much of the ensuing short conversation. But I do
remember that I hung up on her.

I'm supposed to be happy for her. Happy?!?! How can I be happy when I'm
losing my best friend?!? No one wants wants to be friends with a social
misfit like me!!

Except for her.

I should be happy, but I'm not. Don't come to me expecting me to be
happy for you. I have my own troubles.

Don't take me for granted.
