11:11; make a
wish
--------------- preface --------
K a y l a n ' s p . o . v
What if every 11:11, birthday, and shooting star wish came
true?
My temple run stopped.
Geeze! I said, silently to myself. Almost 3
million.
Every night at this time, a reminder pops on my phone's
screen, reminding
me it's that time. 11:10. In one minute, I could make one
wish. Only twice
a day do I have a chance to change the world, make the boy
like me.. Or so
I tell myself. Ever since I was 5, 9 years ago, I've been
making wishes and
none of them have ever come true. A little part of me
believes I have a
chance. 11:11 the little clock says on my lock screen. Okay.
I wish he would
love me. I smile to myself, lay down in my bed, and
fall in a deep sleep.
My alarm beeps. 6 am. 1
hour to make myself look attractive. One hour
to make myself look attractive, for him. I wash my hair, dry
it, then quick
curl it. It doesn't take much to make my light red hair
look good. It's my
face I have a problem with. No coverup hides my freckles. I
put sparkly
pink eyeshadow on to match the pink skirt I'm going to
wear. I do my top
eyeliner, then mascara, and go to get dressed. 45 minutes
later, I'm done.
I grab a cinnabon and run out the door. He is at my bus stop.
Issaya.
The single most amazing boy in the world. He has black curls,
light blue
eyes, and a swimmer's body. Because he is a swimmer. It
just so happens
Issaya happens to be my bestfriend. Who has a girl friend.
His eyes light
up when I come into his view.
" Kaylan!" He says with a big smile.
I rush over to him. As I usually do, I check his finger. To
check if the ring
she gave him was on it. It wasn't..
" Issaya?" I said.
" We're done.. Me and her" he says, without a
look of pain.
" Why?" I ask.
" Because I love someone else..."
I don't say anything else, but my mind asks. Who? As if
he can read it,
he talks again. " You Kaylan. I love
you."
"My
life was awful, I was fat, pretty ugly and had awful hair. I
used to get teased every fuc.king day. Slammed up against lockers,
punched in the face, you name it. Hell, I had to go to prom
with one of my female friends because I couldn't get a
proper date, I can't even look back at those photos because
I look so bad, I transfered schools, but the teasing just got
worse. After a lets say "Incident" I had with the
school play the bullying just got worse. But I made it through
highschool only to find out real life was pretty much the same.
I stayed in my dark room all day, I didn't talk to anyone,
I didn't go outside. I just stayed inside and drew. I'd
draw vampires, mummies, heros, villans. Anything to help me
escape all the bad in the world I went to art school and
didn't really belong. All I could draw was comic book
characters. I tried to put my only good talent to use, by
drawing a cartoon and pitching it. Only to have it turned down.
Life to me was just pointless. I started drinking, doing drugs,
and generally wasting my life drawing.
Then one day
I saw bodies falling from the sky, I wittnesed people dying.
That's when I decided to turn my life around. I called up
anyone I knew who had an instument and we formed a band. Being
on tour for the first two years was bad. All we'd do is get
drunk and do drugs, but I loved it, because I was doing
something I loved, with people I loved A few years ago I met
the most perfect women ever It's like we share a wavelink
or something. She just knows me without even knowing me, if you
understand. And now 2011, I have a beautiful baby girl, A
caring wife and I get to preform for my adoring fans every
day.
I am living proof that no
matter how bad life gets, it gets better
I
m Gerard Way, and I
survived."
This is one of the many reasons I
love My Chemical Romance ♥
