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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZeANCpG9Q
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkgrNM2Ev
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevxUt9LdmW
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6pyPWCsNE
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2poQzfbDv
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4Djhxhxo
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYUuUoTaUq
And look where that got me.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIy62VqKKQ
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxbQMg2Wr4
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqDL5EfiA5
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9tmvknUha
"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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThpCacy7uP
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ9fgpcnjz
She pondered it for a second, then realised.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eizW4u1Al
"Rhiannon?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyuPiocHm
I nodded.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEh0zHKr0B
"Sera?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kBx1x5qRh
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadGPQrmwLt
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMfdwTYCZF
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf3o1sVSje
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRWEvK0Tn3
She made a face.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnjqF5VcYO
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cnzB1TLA2
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSD6MEXWV1
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBpR6lFep0
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNz5dtkUUs
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxla0479yVx
