operation: downfall, commences

as i type this my best friend is in some georgia emergency room fighting for her life while her stomach is being pumped. and i can't help but feel responsible. the last few days i've been seeing images of death pile up around me. i wake up and its the first thing i think about. i dream about people dying. i have flashes of death. and then i have moments where i'm in the present, but i'm not really here. i'm somewhere else, but i can't control what i'm doing i can only see.

today was one of those days. i woke up, and i had one of those moments. i pick up my phone, call my friend, but he doesn't answer. a woman does, and tells me he's no longer with us. i pause for a moment, take in the news, and quickly try to figure out a way to hack all his accounts so his family never has to know who he truly was.

i have these gut instincts, that i trust more than anything. i don't trust people. they lie. i lie. the truth is a lie. its all about perception. people believe what they want to believe. but i have my instincts, and i trust them more than anything, but they were wrong this time. he's not the one fighting for his life, K is. and i can't help but feel responsible.

its always been me and K against the world. we've always been there for one another and everything always worked out. but the moment we seperated shit just began to hit the fan and i took it upon myself to take responsibility for K. K has a tendency to take tings a little too serious. she gets angry, and she yells and a lot of people can't handle her personality. so after she does what she does, i'm always there to fix things. its what i do. i fix things.

me and K haven't seen each other in over a year. and within this year K has already tried to kill herself once. it wasn't the first time though, i've been dealing with this stuff since i was eleven. i've spent a few nights holding K reassuring her everything is gonna be okay. that shit will work out, it always does. to trust me, because i'm J and i know things. but i haven't been there for her this last year. i haven't been there to reassure her that everything is gonna be okay. that it will all work out, because i'm J and i know things. i took a break from K to figure my life out and maybe thats where i fucked up. K has a lot of demons to deal with, and she was recently diagnosed as being bipolar which explains a lot of things about her.

but here i am once again, with K on the verge of dying and once again i'm not there for her. the last time this happened i just cried myself to sleep and prayed that she'd be okay, but i have a gut feeling that she won't be. i just don't know. the only thing i do know is i'm leaving for georgia in an hour, but i don't know if i'm coming back. cali was suppose to be kind. it was suppose to be everything i asked for. and it was. but if i lose my best friend and i'm still in cali, i won't forgive myself. school can wait. life can wait. but i refuse to put K on pause.


this is something i have to do, and i'll deal with the repercussions later.

  1. Wow. You gotta do what you gotta do, and be there for K. Hopefully things will sort out and she'll be fine, and you'll be fine, and Cali will be there waiting for you.

    Bests with everything. *Hugs*
