I walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, leaving bloody footprints on the floor. I didn't feel the pain, although I knew I had half a dozen cuts. I was numb. I had exploded and nothing was left behind, I couldn't feel anything, not yet. I looked around, the house told the story of my explosion. I didn't remember what had made me angry, irrationally angry, but I was sure it had been something stupid. Olivia had told me that I didn't need to worry over that, that it was nothing. I remember throwing the bag I was carrying against the wall, probably shattering the screen of my phone. She screamed at that and tried to stop me from destroying anything else. Yet, I was past the return point, there was nothing I could do but burn it all, burn it like hell. I pushed her into the room. Her who is taller than me, who is the strong of the two. I pushed her as if she weighed nothing and in her fight she dragged the vase down with her. I remember the pain in my feet as I stepped on the broken glass, and I remember the pain in my hands as I punched Olivia in the stomach. Olivia, the one who loves me, the one I love and have always been so afraid to hurt. I remember the pain, but I also remember the burning desire to hurt, her, myself, anyone. My blood boiled murder.
I looked at my hands and saw how my knuckles were red and swollen. I started crying. I cried for Olivia and the pain I caused her. I cried for my uncontrollable rage. I cried because I didn't deserve to be loved and yet I was, because nothing could stop me from hurting someone I loved.
