I watched her huddled up in a ball, from above. She was in pain. Not the physical kind of pain. The pain that comes from falling in love before she even knew what love meant. Of being rejected. Of moving away from everyone she's ever known for her whole childhood.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TROS9MX1K
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCpmlOZRE
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tIIxOD5YW
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vVKFRxDR6
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObmDhOgdE4
She curls back into a ball. I sigh. What should I tell her. That things will get better? When she starts the new school, she makes new friends and eventually gets over her crush on Marcus. Of course, then there was him.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL2bDDviYd
I shot a pointed glare at the image my brain dredged up. Taller than me, he always seemed to cock his head a little when he walked. Arrogant, but different when he wasn't with the popular group. I saw the good in him when perhaps not many others did.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hmUtolsmQ
And look where that got me.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhTCet7k1I
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqQmJkm3oC
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDQVCJgUeu
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OlkIPqeTW
"No. You're wrong. Yes you may get hurt. You get hurt a lot. But the new friends you make help you through it like no one else could have. Theresa comforts you when you need a shoulder to cry on, and Ying gives you the advice that you really need. She alone has stopped me committing suicide three times in the past year."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl4UdoB5rF
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0AZOHFaTu
She pondered it for a second, then realised.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xbBVaw3yD
"Rhiannon?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLl6nS3ql
I nodded.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhaYklaXLW
"Sera?"851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2eFkGr7Mt
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3dxu9VNd3
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNu5uBbF1z
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkywbWVRUpp
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHU1Q7iqWn
She made a face.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAZ4J0UWJs
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgi0OYYSQO
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObo33zqdkN
My life hasn't been as hard as most. I don't bear any physical scars. That doesn't mean the depression and suicidal thoughts I've suffered through were nothing though. My heart goes out to people who do bear those scars. Who had the courage to go to the brink of death and come back. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZGQrxrUp
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKFGTwIJQg
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJsNT3Sko3
