“Knock Knock”
14. Your character walking in on mine in the middle of a mental breakdown.
Things were going fine. He and Peter were married, they would be going on their honeymoon in a few weeks, they had money set aside, he and his parents were talking, Ellie was going into kindergarten soon.. And het why did he feel like he was doing everything wrong? He was almost twenty-eight, he should feel confident, he shouldn't be on the bathroom floor, tears streaming down his cheeks, scratches along his arms and bleeding.
He was hiccuping, one hand clasped tightly over his mouth to avoid attraction attention. He was trying to calm down, rocking himself, free hand beating into a thigh to stop himself from scratching or pulling hair.
He jumped when the bathroom door opened, and quickly turned to shove his feet against the bottom of the door to soam it back shut, scrambling to lock the door.
"D-Don't come in here--!" He chokes out. Things were going so good, but somehow he still felt out of place, like he didn't belong, like Peter and Ellie deserved someone better. He sniffs, hands shaking as he goes to pull himself up. Fuck, he really needs to stop thinking so negatively..
