I fall back onto the hard mattress, my head thumping against the cushions that felt more like rocks. As much as it annoys me, I can't stop thinking about Eyal. How we left things, how ten years of friendship could just be thrown away like it never happened... I hate to admit it but I miss him.
Pulling out my phone I flick through my photos, stopping on a particular image. It was the night Eyal told me he was gay... the last night of real friendship before everything turned to shit.
We snuck out to our secret place behind the school. A secluded grotto with a hidden pond that would be lit up by the moon each night. We floated there for hours, talking about everything and nothing all at the same time.
I told him how I felt about this stupid school, how I just wanted to be me. And in return, he opened up and told me his secrets too. I didn't care, something like that wasn't going to ruin our friendship. Being gay is just who you are, and I told him that.
But the next day, it was like he was a totally different person. Short, combative, starting arguments with everyone... including me. We got into a fight and then, he just punched me out of nowhere. I looked into his eyes, for any resemblance of regret, but there was none. And that was it... our friendship over...
Wiping my eyes, I toss my phone aside ignoring the hard thump it made as it hit the wooden floorboards. I sit up, with my head in my hands and staring down into a void of loneliness.
"Fuck him, fuck this school and fuck everyone else here," I mumble, holding back tears. "Why did he do this to me? Why did he leave me here, alone..."
