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.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPaB37pNk
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzghDsLi5
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2onHvIQXv
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzW4ZN9E80
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigRu5NdOw5
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.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljn8Pm89xa
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.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC48p6hrrS
And look where that got me.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBDve4ckgE
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuIynyy0z
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ6K3Pvlxt
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP5G1pGywU
"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."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGdNuRAi4j
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXEoDjAx9
She pondered it for a second, then realised.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQoA9ejvA
"Rhiannon?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ikc2cwKZ
I nodded.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZzfImqifj
"Sera?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUsAUopzET
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVyAdTQKIQ
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJuoZMumYJ
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAXkrsnS1E
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgWxnGiYif
She made a face.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2euO6NOtJ
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulZmDEs82Y
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZADQTnvX8Q
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. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQj9mwqpd
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQwsRhGmD
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IbcRnuwSU
