People may swear we're friends now but for me, we're not. I don't even think I'll be friends with him anymore. I found out, to my great surprise (and maybe even dislike) that I am very much like Pete Wentz. Or I am Wentzian, whatever.
And I vow to keep my mouth shut. At all times. Let the fingers do the work.
I mean, why? With all the hatred and war in the world today, why did he have to add fuel to the flame? It was all wordlessly understood by both of us, dad and I, that he was sorry to have said those words to me by holding and guiding my hand when I was cleaning the windows. But why?
I don't think I want answers, I just want to ask. I haven't cried in a long while and I don't think I need to let it out.
Reading Stevan Javellana's Without Seeing the Dawn is great. It put me in a stupor for the 2 days I was reading it and I have not regretted doing so. The story is simply told and the characters are quite easy to relate too. Unsurprisingly, my favorite is Carding. Our difference is that his politeness is natural and mine is forced, merely a mask I put on when I'm home. Lucing is a crybaby, who is queer, because she keeps wanting Carding to come back to her, yet when he is beside her, she shuts up.
Sometimes I'm like that.
I don't want to go back to the old me, to summer flings and talk only of boys and girls. That's stupid. And it's teenybopperish. Yet it's a part of my past I can't erase and that's that.
Fontana was a memorable experience I'd like to forget. Not simply because it was the last day I was comfortable in my friends's arms, not because I saw Squidballs and not because I swam in this summer heat.
Because it disturbed me so much. All the pleading that made me a lesbian again. All the laughs they shared without me. Everything.
Davey says it beautifully:
This wasn't for you. This wasn't FOR anyone. It's simply a remake of a classic. We held hands, we shared laughs, we shared beds. She told her that we were lovers. Were we? But this wasn't for you really, what's the cat to do when the mouse is begging?
