The Only Tears That Fall Are Red

The Last Straw

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

        A few days have passed since the incident in the forest, which left me wondering who the BUCK left the note. It haunted my dreams, corrupted my thoughts, and ate away at me. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, even as a I walked to Hell. Whoops, school I mean.

‘Who could have left it? I know it’s not Rampage, he was with his friends at the time, or at least that’s what Rainbow told me reluctantly’ I thought. ‘I snapped at RD earlier in the year, making her dislike me, and well, I don’t care about her, so why make friends?’ I shrugged to myself and moved on, and just my luck. Guess who I ran into? Rampage yet again, but I refused to let him hinder me. He turned to face me and started to talk:

        “Red, you fucki-” He started to say, but I was already gone, flying away. I didn’t care if he saw my scars. He was the one pony that I just didn’t care about anymore. Rampage was a cancer, a disease, one that would take you over and ruin your life. I had made up my mind not to care.

‘I don’t care about him, or anypony anymore’ I wasn’t paying any attention, like usual. I ran smack into Derpy, and we both tumbled from the sky.

“CELESTIA DAMMIT!” I yelled at the top of my lungs as I hit the ground with enough force to power Pinkie Pie’s party cannon.

I didn’t get up for a few minutes, just to let the pain ebb away. When I did get up though, Derpy was gone.

‘What the hell?’ How could any pony leave that fast? I decided not to question it, and just moved on, continued to walking to school. I reached the double doors, sighed heavily, and walked in. The first that hit me was the smell. Hundreds of different scents from hundreds of different ponies. I ignored it and trudged to my locker, feeling the stares of the other ponies. I wondered why they were staring at my...legs....

‘OH SWEET MOTHERFUCKING CELESTIA!!!!!’ My legs were uncovered! I hid my panic, and went off to my first class, which I just happened to have with Rampage. I started walking through the hallways, the whispers all around me, coming from other ponies.

“I bet he did it for attention”

“Attention whore”

“Weak willed”

“Idiot”

My hooves and legs trembled with anger. I didn’t need their abuse, or their pity. I didn’t need anypony’s help. I looked up and saw another pony trotting along with me. Clairvoyant...?

“Hey Red, i’m sorry about Rampage. He can be a bit...over protective” She said to me, truly apologetic. I blinked. She apologized? To me? What brought this change?

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it” I didn’t know what else to say. I didn’t exactly talk to mares all that much.

She stopped, and so did I. When I turned around, she gave me a hug. One of friendship, of support, to show me she cared. I had no feelings for Dusk, but a hug brought a huge smile to my face.

“Thank you, Dusk” I said, suddenly feeling like I could take on the world. Little did I know the world would accept my challenge. I heard somepony galloping towards me, then a hoof slam me against the wall.

“Hey Red, what you doing with my marefriend?” He snorted. It just HAD to be Rampage, didn’t it?

“Nothing Rampage, we’re just friends.” I didn’t want to start this with him.

“Just friends? Since when?” He didn’t even notice Clairvoyant was still listening. He reared back with a hoof and punched me in the snout. I winced, but didn’t show any other pain, which only enraged him more.

“ANSWER ME RED!” he punched me again. I was sick of this abuse, sick of him pushing me around.

“FUCK YOU RAMPAGE! FUCK YOU! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITHOUT YOU PUSHSHING ME AROUND EVER. SINGLE. DAMN. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE!” Losing my cool, I grabbed his head and smashed it into the window, cracking it and sending blood out of his snout. Did I let up? No, of course not. Either the window or his skull was going to break, I didn’t care. I repeatedly smashed his head into a window until it broke, not letting up, I brought his head down, and my knee up. My knee connected with his snout with a *crack* that could be heard throughout the hallways. Blood sprayed everywhere from his broken snout.

Dusk, and other ponies looked on in horror. The realization of what i just did hit me, and I looked down at Rampage. He was bleeding out of his head, and his face was covered with blood. I dropped to the ground in horror at what happened.

‘NO! NO! Why did i do that!?! This could’ve ended without the need for my violence! Why?’ I was thunderstruck. Why did I do such a thing, even if he was a jerk? I fell to the ground, shivering in fear at what I just did. I just...I had just hit a friend, even if he was a total douche, he was still a friend. What kind of pony hits his friend? Not a nice pony....absolutely not. I began mumbling to myself as teachers and students tried to help Rampage. Somepony tried to grab me, and I screamed at them.

“DON’T TOUCH ME!” I flew out the window, oblivious to the teachers yelling for me to come back. I flew into the Everfree Forest and to my little alcove, where I had left my guitar. I picked it up, too depressed and angry to even sing correctly.

Despite my trembling, I still managed to rattle off [url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KhrcbukZg]this song[/url] , crying the entire time:

The whole world is my enemy - and I'm a walking target

Two times the devil with all the significance

Dragged and raped for the love of a mob

I can't stay - because I can't be stopped

Eat motherfuckers alive who cross us

I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses

Let me tell you how it's gonna be

I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me

Welcome to the same ol' fucking scam

Same ol' shit in a dead fad

Everybody wants to be so hard

Are you real or a second rate sports card?

They all lost their dad or their wife just died

They never got to go outside - SHUT UP

Nobody gives a fuck

it doesn't change the fact that you suck

(We are) The anti-cancer

(We are) The only answer

Stripped down, we want you dead

But what's inside of me, you'll never know

(We are) Bipolar gods

(We are) You know what we are

My life was always shit

And I don't think I need this anymore

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool

But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so fuck you

Standing out is the new pretension

Sreamline the (sic)ness, half-assed aggression

You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned

All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned

Put your trust in the mission

We will not repent - this is our religion

(We are) The anti-cancer

(We are) The only answer

Stripped down, we want you dead

But what's inside of me, you'll never know

(We are) Bipolar gods

(We are) You know what we are

My life was always shit

And I don't think I need this anymore

I AM HATED

YOU ARE HATED

WE ARE HATED

I AM HATED

Everything sucks and I can prove it

Everybody dies, shuffle on, remove it

Individuals, indispensable

I'm the paradox deity vessel

...the other side holds no secret

But this side is done, I don't need it

Before you go, you should know you're breaking down

You'll be rotten by the time you're underground

*Fuck You*

(We are) The anti-cancer

(We are) The only answer

Stripped down, we want you dead

But what's inside of me, you'll never know

(We are) Bipolar gods

(We are) You know what we are

My life was always shit

And I don't think I need this anymore

(We Are) The source of conscience

(We Are) Distorted sentients

There's only one thing left

And I can't leave until it's sated

(We Are) The absolute

(We Are) Controlling you

They're closing in, I can't escape

I AM HATED

I grabbed the knife I left in a tree, and raised it over my heart.

‘This is it...I fucked up one too many times, who cares now?’  I started swinging it down, and a few seconds later was enveloped in black as my vision faded and I fell to the ground.
