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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdQz3K6dOe
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLTBfkI7Yx
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ey9AleDK3
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHleAYM8rt
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuDSDdMYnu
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBMMBzTHG0
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u1MnSAA5O
And look where that got me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbPOclVGPT
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStbmG1UakW
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeVmzsmUJo
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUozAWm5tk5
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfLmogQOWQ
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ORxVtzUIl
She pondered it for a second, then realised.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRYBo087V
"Rhiannon?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjiijWA93T
I nodded.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh37EdfQBf
"Sera?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVClD589nEm
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkjAQAwME
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4WELb8cQ9
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY5SYkVw6V
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9h65LCBm
She made a face.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V7MRW43Ge
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK1LWADwSR
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1yS6cA7wf
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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds70W38dEI
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyRa8RgfIZ
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjt1EJdAoO
