Free Write Prompt: Build a Wall.

Source

Just how stupid do they think I am? It's true the saying that "Once bitten, twice shy". It all started with them warming up to me stretching forth a hand a friendship one I wish I had rejected. The supposed friendship lasted barely 3weeks. There I was, happy that I finally found people who understood me and wantes to be around me little did I know that they were the deadly trio I should have avoided. They were surprised that after the embarrassment they made me go through, I still covered for them to keep them from being arrested when the police showed up. They came to apologise but I wasn't going to let my guard down a second time. I've built a wall to keep away toxic people and everyone who just wants me around as a mere means to an end. It may sound rather extreme but I'd rather build a wall and be by myself than to be deceived again.
