[ she stops walking and looks over her shoulder, shooting her a sharp glare. ] Don't you dare put words in my mouth. I'm not mad. I'm sad... a- and upset! And how dare you act like I can just change how I feel on the drop of a hat! King is on my team, and he's been there since day. fucken. one. I don't think there's a time when he hasn't done something for me! and just because I can't have him doesn't mean I don't care deeply about him! I can't turn those feelings off---!

We met sometime later, and we formed a connection and things grew from there, and it's been an interesting trip. I have come to care about you a lot too and, dare I say, that you've come to care about me. You know what, Kohime, I don't give a shit who thinks I'm their number one, two, three, four, or sixty-fucken-nine! As long as I have people that love and care about me, then that's what I can do in return, and they won't care if where they fall. It's not a god damn contest, and maybe I should have realized that.

[ she turns back around and grits her teeth, sucking in a sharp breath as she forces herself not. to. cry. ] I might come in second in every little thing I do, and in most cases that means losing or dying or... or something like that, but in love... just having people that care about me is what I need.

[ starts walking again. ]
