When I got home from school, I grabbed a pill bottle, not even reading the label, taking it to the bathroom. I closed the door and locked it. Then I set down on the side of the bathtub, gripping the bottle tight in my hands.
I felt like I should be more upset than I was. I felt like I should be sadder or angrier. I felt like I should want for everything to end. But I didn't. I felt...
Liberated.
So slowly, I unwound my fingers from around the bottle, looking at the label.
Vitamins.
I laughed then, because for some reason, it was absurd. And funny. Ridiculously funny.
I left the bathroom, putting the vitamins back in the medicine cabinet, before sitting in the living room, and reveling in the newly found freedom I possessed.
