| She sits on the windowsill and tries to figure out what wentwrong. Looks out the window at the bright city lights and
 can't help but wonder what she'd done now. Yes, she was
 known for ruining all good things that came across her path,
 few as they were, but this time...this time she didn't even
 know what she'd done. How could she? He never talked, and
 told her off for asking., insisting stubornly that
 everything was just fine, that nothing had changed. As she
 looks out at the starry sky, which looked as if it reflected
 the flickerring  lights in the tall buildings she was
 looking at, she was no closer to finding an answer. No
 closer than she was an hour ago, sitting in the exact same
 place on the window. She was scared. Not of the fact there
 was a problem, oh no, she was used to that. She knew the
 problems didn't really disappear when this all started, they
 just faded temporarily into the backround, overshadowed by
 the new light she was suddenly surrounded by. Her old fears
 didn't really go away; they just disappeared for a brief
 period: hiding behind the shadow of momentary happiness,
 that she knew wouldn't last long. It couldn't last long. Not
 with her. She knew it would end up this way all along. What
 she didn't know is why. And that's what scared her now. Why
 did everything go wrong? What did she do this time? What did
 she say? how did it all get ruined?
 In the back of her mind she knew the answer. She'd known it
 all along. It was the only answer, but she kept pushing it
 back the moment it tried to creep up into her
 conciousness.She couldn't hold it back anymore. It's what
 caused her problems. It's what kept ruining things, and the
 voice in her head kept getting louder. And as the first
 tears started forming in her eyes, distorting her vision and
 making the thousands of lights outside become a blur of
 yellow patches on a black background, she knew the voices in
 the back of her mind were right, but it was only when the
 tears started streaming down her cheeks she finally  gave in
 and let the thought take control of her entire mind ans she
 whispered the truth faintly out loud "I was only being
 myself".
