The Sharpest Lives
Im not okay
Valkyrie
One more. It’s the last. It will be. I grabbed the pills, shoving them into my mouth and instantly swallowing. I looked down at my arms, the cuts still bleeding from when I attacked them ten minutes ago. Tears had already started flowing, but now, as I looked at myself in the mirror, came out in a rapid pace. What the fuck am I doing with my life. Thirteen, still in middle school, and I was already reaching for the knife that was going the end my life.
There’s really no point in doing this anymore….. I grabbed the knife, but instantly dropping it as I started falling. No, I was flying, soaring through the house towards the front door. I flew threw the the streets, my feet burning on the pavement and I came to realize that I was running, but I can’t escape my own shadow. I was going to just let the drug take me wherever it was going to take me.
I lost all train of thought as I stepped onto a train.
Mikey
“Mikey get up now!” Gerard called me from the kitchen. I looked over to the alarm clock, 9:42. Shit. I grudgingly stepped out of my bed, scratching my balls and heading down the stairs to meet my brother.
In only my boxers, I sat at the small table. Gerard set a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. I grabbed the cup of coffee he handed me, drowning it with cream and sugar.
“‘Bout time you got up, I was just about to finish the pot of coffee alone.” Gerard shoved food down his throat and I put my face in my hand, tired and everything blurry. I forgot my glasses on the nightstand again. With blurry vision, I grabbed the fork, stabbing it into the eggs and putting it into my mouth. I chewed slowly, trying to get the awful morning taste out of my mouth.
Ray
I was thinking about calling the Way brothers, asking if they wanted a movie and videogame day, but called it off. Ashley- my girlfriend- called me, saying to meet her at the grocery store. Not going to fuck this up again. I had a knack for having her dump me, a lot. If I was late for a date, even if I was able to blame it on traffic, she would say that I didn’t really care for her and shit. Then she would throw water on my crotch and walk out, leaving me to be humiliated in public.
But I did love her, and I knew she loved me, she was just going through a tough time at home. But I wasn’t going to get that deep into her life just yet. I’ve only been able to kiss her a few times before she would make up some lame excuse to not kiss me back.
I was used to it, and it was cute to be honest.
Well, before she got pissed at me again, I left early.
Ashley
That asshole better be here on time.
Frank
I was walking towards Jats street, the street that Gee lived on. I was excited to see him, we haven’t gone on a date in a few months. I was getting more restless with each step. Maybe this time, Mikey- his little brother- wouldn’t get into trouble with the cops again and have to make us stop in the middle of our romantic make-out session. When pigs fly.
I had learned to just stick with places that were close to the police station on each date, so that we could bail him out quicker.
I knocked on the door.
Gerard
I opened the door to see my smiling Frankie holding a pale picnic basket and a dark green blanket. I gave him a quick kiss.
“Lemme just grab my shoes.” I turned back into the house, throwing on my black converse. “Don’t do anything stupid Mikey!” I called out to my little brother, I knew it was no use, he was most likely going to at least try to shoplift something and end up getting caught.
Frank and I walked to the park, not to far from the police station.
Bob
I sat on the small leather stool at my jet black drumset. I tapped my drumsticks together four times before I started hitting the drums with the drumsticks, a song that Gerard and I had wrote. I imagined him singing and Frank and Ray playing guitar along to the banging, Mikey’s bass taking to a familiar rhythm.
I finished up ‘I’m Not Okay’.
Valkyrie
I looked out the window of the train I woke up to being on. ‘Welcome to New Jersey’ a passing sign read. Jersey, what the hell am I doing in Jersey? I shook my head and watched all the people stand up as we got to a train station. My conscious thinking blacked out once again.
One more. It’s the last. It will be. I grabbed the pills, shoving them into my mouth and instantly swallowing.
