Every Time I Die He Bleeds

Summary

I have always possessed a heart made of spun glass. The slightest tremor, the quietest rejection, and the fractures would spiderweb through my chest until I simply didn’t want to exist anymore.

Once, when I caught my boyfriend with the girl I called my best friend, the betrayal shattered me so thoroughly that I decided we should all just leave this earth together.

When my mother, suffocating and controlling, secretly logged in and changed my college applications to suit her own desires, the despair was so heavy I simply walked up to the roof and stepped into the open air.
