Strawberry turned
on I Miss You by The Summer Obsession and began stabbing herself at the lyrics.
Imagine
if we never lied, imagine if we never tried, to be something we’re not,
you forgot
how it feels, to be tight, to be close, to be real, and I miss you.
Strawberry started
crying even harder.
And I wish
you were here. I stopped breathing, when you said you don’t care anymore.
Strawberry remembered
some of her AIM conversations, where Chester
said “I don’t really care anymore”
You’re
caught up in your plastic life, changing right before my eyes. A chameleon,
I used to
know you like the back of my mind, did that part of you die?
“I wish
I would die” Strawberry whispered, as her blood dripped down her chest.
And I miss
you, and I wish you were here. I stopped breathing, when you said you don’t care anymore.
And I’m
scared. Don’t, don’t, leave me alone. I’m home having nothing. Anyway. Anyway. And I’m scared.
Standing
on the corner in the pouring rain. Gotta find a drug that’ll keep me sane, like you.
Strawberry dialed
*67 then Chester’s number.
“Hello?”
Chester answered.
“You are
my drug” Strawberry whispered, then hung up.
I watch
you from a distance. I remember all of those instances. When you smiled, when you laughed, when you crashed,
when I’m
there to catch you when you fall, and I miss you. And I wish you were here.
I stopped
breathing, when you said you don’t care anymore. So tell me that you’re doing fine.
I still
remember every time. And everyone I know would say that you were always part of me.
And I miss you like you’ll never know. And I miss you like you’ll never know. And I miss you
like you’ll never know.
And I miss you like you’ll never know. You’ll never know.
Strawberry pierced
her bone with the knife.
About 15 minutes
later, Monkeyberry was getting ready to go to Homer’s to have sex,
so she decided
to ask Strawberry for some last minute advice. She knocked on Strawberry’s door.
No answer. She opened the door, and screamed at what she saw.
