Of Apartments, Boutiques, and Bars
And that’s the thing about this city. No one really looks beyond the clubs, casinos, bars, and all that other crap. No one cares about the rest of the city. No one cares about the people on the street. No one cares about the people struggling to get a single scrap of food. Every. Single. Day. I mean, who would?A loud knocking suddenly erupted on the other side of the door leading to the crummy apartment Jessalyn lived in.

Content Warning: Suicide attemptWater on all sides. Pushing me, pulling me every which way. It grabs me in rough, liquid arms, trying to submerge my head. Wild, it twists and churns. Icy cold, I feel almost numb. Losing my will to fight against it, losing my strength. I thought it would be warmer. I thought it would embrace me with knowing arms. I thought it would take me away, right away. And I guess it was, just not where I wanted. I felt trapped, beaten. My body was too frozen to feel anything but I felt enough on the inside. Lips blue, darker than my eyes. Hair sticking to the curves of my...
