• I hated both of them. Once they were my best friends but that was a forgotten time period. It started as a simple dance. Seth and Mia were their names. At the school dance, both of their dates did not show up, so they paired up for fun. When the slow dance played, both began to have strange feels they did not understand. They later realized they needed a deeper relationship other than friendship. They went out, and I thought it was a good idea for them. Then, on the night seth called me, my torture began. He spoke like he was the happiest person in the world, speaking of how well both had many things in common and have the same goals for the future. He spoke of how he would marry her one day, in a grand wedding where he would give a sparkling diamond and how he would do anything for her happiness. Soon after, he hung and I let out my hidden feelings. I was at a point beyond anger when I heard what he had to say. I did not have strong feelings for Mia and I did not have a personal grudge against Seth until this point. It was the feelings of affection they had for each other. The love he had described made me very angry and jealous, because I had never experienced love to begin with, and hearing these things caused hatred to devour my heart. The love they shared had become a poison to me, and I felt isolated. I pretended to be their friend, but I slowly became more distant. Whenever they would show their love in front of me, I felt a sharp pain where my heart used to be, followed by the cold feeling that would envelop my whole body. I cursed them each and every day under my breathe, until on day, as if a God or a demon had decided to take my pain away, both had died in each others arms in a robbery. One bullet to the heart for both of them. The day I found out, I cried. I cried because my torture had come to an end. As for them, I did not shed a single tear for them. Later that night, I finally felt happiness for the first time in years. I awoke in the middle of the night from a nightmare. It was about the wedding Seth had wanted for Mia. The pain I had in my chest was too much for me. In the darkness, I searched for a knife. The pain grew and soon I felt like I was going to die. I found the knife and simply said to myself "they are not getting the last laugh. Even if I must exist in darkness, I will finally be free from your poison." I brought the knife to my wrist and laughed wildly at the thought of freedom from their curse.
