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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw4JWVePj4
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeCapeiLsC
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlglSM9dM
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94clTgmYKs
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlB9yEHWr
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLeF4Uxmqt
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.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgmRfRdXm
And look where that got me.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatGIQids4V
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYwUI5ISN
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK86GYRF6p
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qVuMgEIUB
"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."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjw0Vovj8u
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NQFrqu8rD
She pondered it for a second, then realised.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgkiXPXzRq
"Rhiannon?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7JL11LoT
I nodded.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavXZfGJksr
"Sera?"672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR3ZpN4tYN
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwT8xbT9rf
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7Sb2TtfL
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD2GuVEbYY
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumVFGROTUU
She made a face.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0eWNtUcnA
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxCalLqvn4
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wir5HvNR4
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. 672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYlFMplwke
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFhtQOOO80
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17RbIhxg1w
