Be My Friend

by Mique Watson

I didn’t need anti-depressants that my mom couldn’t afford; I just needed him.

Cronos was the only person in my life that mattered. He was the only one who cared, the only one who had my genuine peace of mind as a priority. No one else did. Yes, he made me hurt, but I felt so good after. I genuinely felt like I was being helped. He was doing what was best for me, and I believed him.
