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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT8Jj2X4sL
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwITqwCkEH
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStTT26qHRk
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39IKmzDo2Z
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvcHCNsqY
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngtE3MYPuY
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK0ZmD7kH6
And look where that got me.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5CkJc64Gl
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHDv9hKSyT
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKcbWOjeqp
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFYnoMtLZ
"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."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqG8DL2bN
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vk8zoNuRw
She pondered it for a second, then realised.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRfVwdUEnI
"Rhiannon?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0wX0Oq5td
I nodded.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufxLLWql9
"Sera?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFh90vyG5Q
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iZlrFfdJx
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqk67Qd6Lw
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4TarbaZX
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDpsvr3Wk2
She made a face.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeJWdcJCf7
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhkrkOAHv
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwcoNV44oh
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. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ZeQWIHpf
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mmqc6FS0a
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuoqFiX59D
