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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1lZ9I5QL0
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoALvaXW2V
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4VBkNKs27
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPyusyilQs
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusWaAVzMQ4
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazxL3Jmt39
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8exHkmK82u
And look where that got me.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aXp77AQ9L
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5TX2DPwHA
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1jaZrUvkl
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAKLxPGzhF
"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."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Awte6pZG
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3w4eyJhVC
She pondered it for a second, then realised.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMKY5jIWoE
"Rhiannon?"673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJID6gsE2w
I nodded.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD35OMP8c3h
"Sera?"673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EgIxDwCOq
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD5YBwuneO
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gZIE3YkD6
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5RsUngeQ7
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6P5CujewZ
She made a face.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6T5HTjNh
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTXhCJR2S
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubpKEByloI
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. 673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxzwDdtdT
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69CnM40CL
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc5jLX7hls
