I hit the wall in aggravation and groan, before hearing you come into my room, which I had hoped to avoid. You look tearful, almost afraid… and that almost breaks me.

I sigh as I step back, not wanting to yell at you as much as I can in attempt to restrain myself. “I- I just… fuck, I’m so stressed, I’m sorry! I don’t wanna take it out on you, just go!” I grit my teeth, slumping against the wall and putting my head in my hands as I take deep breaths.
