Chapter
One.
I was
afraid of everything.
I was afraid of life. I was afraid of death. I was afraid public
places, teachers, parents, kids, the whole shabang.
I'm afraid of being killed. Or killing myself. I'm just
afraid of people. and places.
Is it really normal for a 15 year old girl to be afraid of those
things?
No.
But I'm not normal. So it doesn't matter I guess.
People tell me I have problems.
Yeah cause that really makes me feel
better...
Ever since my best friend's death, I've been afraid. and
I can't help it.
I just want my best friend back.
It's been a week since my Best friend's death.
Investigators are still trying to figure out the story. I believe
she was murdered. No one really knows yet. It only happened a
couple days ago. All I know is, her bones were broken.
Nobody told me anything else. No one trusts me.
At all.
That's one thing I hate about my life.
I also hate school. Everyday, kids make fun of me. Because
I'm always alone. I have no friends anymore. Everyday, I feel
like cutting myself after I get home from school. But, cutting
doesn't solve anything. It does absolutely
nothing.
All it does is make marks on your arm. For
what?
Your tears? Give me a break.
All you're doing is losing blood.
And losing blood is stupid.
My Best friend's name was Kendra. She was an amazing girl.
She kept me happy. Whenever my family started a fight, I'd
spend the night at her house. Now all I do is sit in my room,
hold onto my pillow, and stare at the floor. Saying how much I
would give to have Kendra by my side again.
She always knew what to do in these situations.
I never do.
I'm just dumb without her.
My name is Leah. You probably don't like me. Well. You
don't have to like me.
I don't have to like you either. In fact, I don't have to
like anybody. And that's what I choose to do. I don't
like anyone.
I hate everyone. Deal with it.
My teachers have noticed that I never smile anymore. They know
about Kendra's death. It was announced at school. They
noticed I've changed. I never laugh, never blush, never
smile. Never. It's not my problem. Sometimes
I look dead. That's what my English teacher told my mother
once.
'I look dead'
Yeah.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one who should
be dead. Not Kendra.
She did nothing to deserve it. I deserve everything in life.
Because apparently, I'm horrible.
I'm hoping that someday, just someday, I'll meet
someone who actually makes me smile, laugh, blush, and feel alive
again. But I doubt it'll ever happen.
That's just fairytale talk.
Fairytales don't exist.
They never will....
