Chapter 9

     Lizzie

I ran towards Lincoln Park. It was only a few blocks down south of school. I stopped when I reached the playground. I haven't been here since forever ago. I remember swinging on the blue-violet swings. Sliding down the raspberry red slide. Playing hide and go seek in the tanish-brownish tunnel. Going across the money bars, as if I were actually a monkey... All with Ryan. I remember being the best friends ever. I stared at my past for a while. Taking it all in. As a child, you never got judged for what you wore. You didn't have to worry about what others said or thought about you... You were just happy... I climbed up the jade green steps towards the tunnel. I crawled into it and stayed. Its funny actually, Ryan and I made a promise in here. We promised that no matter what happens, we would always be best friends. Funny how it all turned out. The whole Lane situation wasn't what was worrying me. It was the actual pain he caused me. The freaking hell I had to go through. I lifted my sleeves up and looked at the story these scars on my right and left arm told. I never wear short sleeves shirts. I didn't want people to see my crappy life. Nobody and I mean nobody knows about these scars. Yes, I may look nice, out going, funny... But there's only so much a person can handle. It was too much for me. I wasn't crying, I've already used up all my tears. Nobody is worth crying over. My phone started to ring. It was Natalie. I looked at the time and it was only ten thirty-five o'clock. I shut if off completely and pulled my legs to my chest.

"Why can't I be perfect? Like Natalie or Sophia. My life would be so much better."
