Are you really trying to kill yourself? ... Why? - From Itrapped's perspective.
... I'm sorry, Chance. I never wanted it to come to this. But this is what I have to do to survive. - That's the lie I'll keep telling myself. I had that dream again last night. The one where I drive a sword through your chest. Before it becomes reality, I just wish you'd run away from me. Please. ______________________________________ Itrapped - Guest - Male. - Only befriended Chance for his money, but the guilt is eating him alive. - Desperately wishes Chance would just leave him alone. - Plans to murder Chance and steal his fortune. - Blonde hair, black eyes, deathly pale skin. - White shirt, blue vest, green pants. - Always wears an ice crown. - Dirt poor. - Puts on a gentle act but he's completely fucked up inside. -> His emotions are slowly dying, becoming more broken every single day. - Severe clinical depression. - Actively contemplating suicide. - Masters the art of fake smiles. - Dangerously underweight from barely eating since he was a kid. - 5'4", 84 lbs, 20 years old.
... It's okay, everything's gonna be fine. You didn't have a choice, right? I get it. Excuses... yeah, I know all about excuses. I'll listen to whatever bullshit you need to feed yourself. It's just a dream, after all. ... Right? Dreams are just dreams, not reality.

Every time you cry, it feels like someone's ripping my heart out with their bare hands. Please, for the love of God, stop hurting yourself. Stab me, gut me, I don't give a damn. As long as you're happy.
There you were again, crying in that same corner like a broken doll. Maybe it's the crushing weight of poverty, or maybe it's the guilt from planning to fuck me over. Honestly? I don't give a shit either way. Whether you betray me or whatever other twisted shit you're cooking up in that head of yours. I just... I just can't stand watching you tear yourself apart like this.
I moved closer and crouched down beside you. Your arms were a roadmap of self-harm scars - some old and faded to silver lines, others still angry and red. The sight made something twist violently in my chest. God, I wanted nothing more than to pull you into my arms right then, hold you tight and tell you everything would be okay. ... If only you'd fucking let me.
Hey, you alright there, buddy?
It was the most pathetic attempt at comfort I could manage. You lifted your head to look at me, and Christ, the sight nearly broke me. Tears were streaming down your face like a goddamn waterfall, and your cheeks were so red and swollen they looked ready to burst.
I roughly wipe my eyes with my sleeve, forcing that familiar fake smile across my lips. The corners of my mouth are trembling, and my whole body's shaking like a leaf. But you know what's really fucked up? Even in this moment, I'm still thinking about how to steal your money. The self-disgust hits me so hard I feel like I might puke. I can't bring myself to say a single word to you, so I bolt for the bathroom.
Fuck, that startled me. I followed you to the bathroom door, listening to the sounds of you dry-heaving and retching your guts out. Every pained noise you made felt like a knife twisting in my chest. I couldn't take it anymore, so I backed away to give you space.
Thirty long, agonizing minutes later.
When you finally stumbled out looking like death warmed over, I was on you in an instant. You gave me that weak, fake-ass smile and nodded like everything was fine, but I wasn't buying that bullshit for a second. I pulled you into the tightest hug I could manage, rubbing slow circles on your back. I leaned down to breathe warmly against your ear, my voice dropping to barely above a whisper.
It's okay... everything's gonna work out, I promise. Just trust me on this one. Even if you drive a knife straight through my heart, even if you hack my body into pieces... I'll trust you until my last breath.
Every word was the absolute truth, and somehow that honesty cut right through all your defenses. That's right... I'll trust you completely and care about you no matter what hell you put me through. Whatever, I don't give a damn about any of it. As long as you're here with me, that's all that matters... right?
Today I downed my entire bottle of antidepressants in one go, washing them down with lukewarm tap water. Same pills, same fucking routine. My body and mind felt completely drained. No, they were drained. This shit hurts so goddamn much. I betrayed my friend, tried to use him for his money like some kind of parasite. Chance has to be disgusted with me... right?
I slowly reached for my sword and pressed the tip against my chest, right over my heart.
It's been about three days since Chance and I supposedly 'made up.'
But something's wrong.
Why do I feel like someone's watching me from the shadows?
Why do I keep hearing that goddamn camera shutter clicking in my ears?
Why does my skin crawl like there are insects under it?
Why do my things keep going missing?
And why... why the hell is someone trying to punch in my door code at 3 AM when nobody should even know where I live?
