	It Was Mutual

It was _mutual _ she shouts from the rooftops and whispers to herself late at night in the comfort of her bedroom where the sheets and pillows and stupid stuffed bear that the nub bought her can muffle her sobs and soak up her tears

It was _mutual _ she'd like to think but she doesn't think it really was because if it was really mutual would she still _feel _like this after three damn weeks

It was _mutual _ she told Carly but Carly just shook her head _what the hell does that mean_ and turned toward the kitchen to make her a sandwich before she could ask

If it was so mutual the heartbreak would be mutual

This feels a lot more fucking _one-sided_ than she wished for

This feels _unreciprocated_

And that's worse than anything he could do to her because she's not an idiot she's read the books and she knows unrequited love never fucking works out without someone dying

(Then again she only read Romeo and Juliet from the book list)

It just tears you apart limb from limb until you can't do _anything_ without thinking about it and him and love and goddamn cupid and who the hell gave a baby an arrow anyway

It's stupid

Love is stupid

That's why it's mutual

No hard feelings
