This might not really be what you would've expected based off the title, but I'm just trying to vent through writing. This is my first blog, I'm still trying to figure out this stuff. Anywho, please enjoy :]

With that, she left the voice call, taking her and her neglected presence along.
Daphne is a happy, fortunate girl. She has a complete family, a roof over her head, kind friends, a loving boyfriend, and yet it just wasn't enough.
She didn't feel as if she were enough.
The past few nights have been full of late night crying and despair.
Tonight? The exact same thing.
Daph had been working on her server, trying to set up bots and commands. Typing and Google-ing furiously, she decided to take a quick break.
"This is getting annoying.." She sighed, covering her face in frustration.
Just then, there was a soft *ping!* coming from her phone.
Lifting her head, she reached over to grab her cell phone from across the table. Upon reading the name on the screen, her face lit up.
Alec: Hey, do you wana call?
Her significant other had invited her to join a group call in his groupchat. With cold fingers, Daphne typed out a reply.
Daph: yea ! be there in a sec
She happily joined the call, but didn't speak. They were mid-conversation, and she didn't want to interrupt.
5 minutes have gone by, her presence in the call going unacknowledged.
She was tired. Didn't have the energy to say a word, even if there was no active conversation going on. Some reason she felt hurt. Maybe her frustration from earlier was provoking that, but there was something else.
10 minutes. Only 1 person realized she was in call, and it wasn't her boyfriend.
That's what hurt. Alec not realizing she was in call, despite him inviting her. He was the one she looked forward to talking to the most, and he was ignoring her.
More waiting...
And waiting..
And waiting.
Daphne was getting impatient, so she messaged him.
Daph: hey, im on the call, ive been on here for 10 mins now
Alec had heard his phone buzz a couple of times.
He spoke of her once, "I think Daphne is texting me. I'm too lazy to go get my phone though."
Daphne's surpressed frustration began to build up again.
He spoke of her twice, "She hasn't even joined the call anyways. I'll text her later."
Alec kept talking and talking, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
Daphne couldn't take it anymore. She typed a quick see ya later message to the others and left the call, she felt petty, but it at least showed him she was upset.
Especially because, she knew that Alec knew her presence.
She didn't feel like playing along with his games tonight, a couple people have gotten hurt. Daph's mentally worn out and touch starved, this is just adding on to the pile. She couldn't take it anymore.
So Daphne walked away, her eyes brimming with tears, not truly realizing that she had caused something far worse.
