the door slammed shut behind caretaker. whumpee couldn't supress their involuntary flinch, only the lump in their throat prevented them from calling out to stop caretaker from— leaving them.
whumpee has done it again. time and time, history only repeats itself, and whumpee only hurts those around them, they cause them to go, to leave forever and never come back. they drive them away, they hurt them more than any physical threat could.
whumpee wants to cry, but they can't stay here and continue being a thorn in caretaker's side. they don't deserve to feel upset over something that was their own fault. they have to get out before they ruin caretaker inevitably. it will happen. it will happen, and this is the only way to save caretaker from them, whumpee thought, as they packed their measly belongings in a duffle bag.
caretaker did not deserve to be repaid in pain for their kindness. and after what whumpee said, they definitely wouldn't want them here. whumpee was nothing more than a freeloader, only inconveniencing everyone around them just like they always did.
whumper always saw through their acts— attempts at manipulation— dealt with them accordingly. but now, now— whumper wasn't here to correct them. punish them for it.
whumpee looked longingly at the room, of which the bed was theirs, the closet was full of their own clothes, the bookshelf was full of books they chose. this place was full of love, it felt like home, and in weaker moments, they had wished that it would stay so, forever. ofcourse, though, all good things are brought to an end.
so with a last glance spared, they gently clicked the front door close behind them, leaving once and forever.
