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.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0xZ4vIAzE
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiiQYUmAbl
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNji0dwC4IL
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjhWmAC5EX
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgMJqJSMW
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.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1u3lnwPeN
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.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkctMjP8VX1
And look where that got me.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWqao0G3sX
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91otS3NCc
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2sjZaPGB
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1mV2014W
"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."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWlf8bx2N
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyA6sAFNc4
She pondered it for a second, then realised.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv5ij2SbG5
"Rhiannon?"709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZFQ2cS5r
I nodded.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkt7mMbhAQ
"Sera?"709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMLoJ8QnsE
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxIEYF0PbN
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzaXrFJhNN
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK36K7MhDn
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VDnND6WvN
She made a face.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6CHfyiDX5
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctVYfxbk6I
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk4A4kEBRB
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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fbiLTAcpz
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK46cvVM9j
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1C27TfHXA
