Prompt 142 from community all_unwritten


She acts strong, but she's afraid. She boasts and bosses everyone around, but she's timid inside. She says that she places her friends above all things, but that really isn't true. She's selfish, filthy, distrusting, shameless. She can betray her friends in a heartbeat when the need arises; and she herself knows it. She murmurs sweet promises to others, apathetic meanwhile. When she's promised something -a friend, a kiss, a chance- she silently takes the promise between her hands and snaps it in half. Not is another breath taken when she goes over the inevitable scenario of broken promises in the near future, bracing herself.
