The Broken Girl (Completed)

Chapter 26

These days I’m enjoying my life with a smile on my face more instead of being gloomy. I started spending time occupying myself in doing the things I love. Because before, since I always gave time to myself in the wrong way by not doing much. I had so much time to think about negativity.

Even when I was by myself, I was still happy because I got busy with stuff I wanted to do but didn’t have the motivation for. I did some crafts and posted them on social media. And I was very glad to know that it got a positive reaction since it was something I did mainly on my own instead of copying it from the internet. I watched several movies and shows which took up a lot of my time, to be honest. I enter another world and start questioning what happens next.

Did you know when you do watch movies or shows, it’s actually beneficial for you since it helps you to understand other people’s emotions when you observe them.

Anyways moving along, for today it will be a day I do something a little different. I’m going to go and babysit Steven since I didn’t have a lot to do today and he insisted that I come today. And I didn’t mind that at all since I wouldn’t do much other than sitting at home.

I went over to his house and he waited for my arrival like a cute little puppy waiting for its owner. He always jumps up and down with excitement and is always delighted to see me. And that makes me feel like I have importance in someone else’s life which wasn’t there before.

After that, I played with him and he seemed much happier. Then I went home but decided to stop at a bakery since it caught my eyes and thought of getting some donuts for myself.

And I couldn’t believe who I saw there. Ava. I wonder what fate has written for me with her that I see her more often now than I ever did. After all she said to me she doesn’t have the slightest bit of guilt for what she had done?

Lucy: “It kinda makes me frustrated to see that you’re moving on and enjoying your life after so happily ruining mine Ava. And I myself don’t even know what I did wrong other than tell what my problem was.”

Ava: “So you finally have the guts to talk to us after what happened that day.”

She said with a smirk.

Lucy: “Well it’s all thanks to all the people that stayed with me in my life and actually supported me. They were true friends unlike you all.”

Olivia: “What did you just say about us?”

Lucy: “I’m sure you’re not deaf enough to hear me. You would always brag about how good you are at everything so what’s wrong with your hearing?”

Sophia: “Mind your language, Lucy.”

Lucy: “First of all, you can’t tell me what to do, and second, I’m not cursing at you that I have to mind my language. I hope there will be a day where karma gives you a lesson of what you deserve for all the pain that you have given to me. You can’t even call yourself human for the way you treat people. Before I was so blind to see but you treat other people like that as well. One day you will learn what I mean.”

Ava: “We don’t have time to listen to your rubbish, okay?”

And after that, they left. I just sighed and got the donuts I wanted.

As I was driving, I realized that there are so many lessons I’ve learned in my life that I keep reading in quotes. That the people I choose make me. However, I never became like my past friends no matter how much time I had spent with them. It’s true like people say, some people come into your life and teach you a lesson about it. But the truth is, have I really learned my lesson?

In my life, I’ve learned that having balance is very important. Like people say, without light, you can’t have darkness and without sorrow, you can’t enjoy happiness.

When I arrived home, I heard my phone ring and was surprised to see it was Emma calling me. I quickly answered and hoped everything was alright.

Emma: “Hello Lucy? How are you?”

Lucy: “Hey Emma. I’m fine, what about you? Is everything alright?”

Emma: “Yes Lucy, everything is fine, why?”

Lucy: “Oh it’s just….I wasn’t expecting a call from you.”

Emma: “Oh yea studies you know keep me busy and so it’s difficult to organize everything.”

Lucy: “Ah, I understand.”

We both just talked to each other and didn’t even realize where time had gone. Talking about the good times in school gave me this nostalgic feeling.

After our call had ended, I went into my room to search for the box which contained all of my memories and past.

Luckily I found it and opened it. I felt all sorts of feelings. Pleasure, joy, pain. In the box, I had my diary which was the main thing I have written a lot of past in.

I had about 3 dairies because I would write a lot and reading it makes me cringe sometimes because I’m like how am I writing this?

Some of the moments surprise me because I don’t exactly remember them. I came across some moments I had with Emma which hadn’t been in my mind. After reading them, it was either “oh my god yes I remember!” or “wait did this really happen?”

Then I was able to find the ones I had with Ava, Olivia, and Sophia and I just started to shed tears reading it. Back then I had such a good time with them as well. I didn’t see anything wrong with the way things were and now we all are like enemies to each other.

I also saw the bracelet all of us gave each other as a present and I didn’t have the courage to throw it away.

I did start to cry a little but told myself that “Lucy, now you’re blessed as well. You have such amazing people in your life so why shed your tears for them when they don’t understand what they did wrong? You keep going on and make memories with people who are there in your life. Appreciate the blessings you have.”
