"Please!" Claire sobbed. "Please don't leave me!"

Anne gave her a cold glare and walked away. Claire slumped over and clutched at the grass as she cried into the ground.

"I-I can't..." Claire choked. "I don't want to be alone!"

"You can't expect her to forgive you right now." Teresa mumbled. "You've been ignoring how she's felt this whole time..."

"SHUT UP!" Claire slammed a fist into the ground. "Punch me, kick me, call me anything you want, but don't-...I can't handle any more reminders that I screwed everything up!"

"That's not exactly what I-"

Claire got up and shoved Teresa against a tree, grabbing hold of her right arm and bringing her hand up to her head.

"HIT ME!" Claire yelled, tears streaming down her face. "Beat me until I can't move! I've done worse to you and you know it! Show me that you have at least one shred of hatred towards me in your body! Prove that I'm right! PLEASE!"

"I know you want me to hate you, but I just...don't." Teresa replied, avoiding eye contact. "I always felt like, somehow...I deserved it. Everything you did to me. I felt like scum for even existing."

"That isn't-"

"On the last day of school, when you threw me into the ditch and told me to drown myself...I tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building downtown." Teresa interrupted. "That's why I didn't try to patch myself up before I went out. I didn't think there'd be a point to it."
