She cried. She cried and cried but none would hear her sobs. None could see her tears. They called her ghost, left to wonder the school grounds, never to make friends. Never to smile.
Years pasted and she left. She left for a better life and only got half. Sure, this time others saw her. But none cared. She had friends now. But she knew they were only
Temporary. Her own family throwing her into a pit. Filled with sadness and the frost of isolation creeping up its walls.
Only one light remained in her life, but maybe it was because that's what she believed. One friend who was truly a friend. One who warmed her heart and broke through the layers of ice. Was it because he cared? Or was it out of pity? She did not know. But she loved the warmth that now was so rare. She loved the hugs, the "good night"s and the reassuring promises of safety. She wanted it all but she knew that it would never happen. He was too good, too pure, to be tainted by one from hell.
A grey spot appeared suddenly, sporting glasses and braces. He would tease and insult the depressed ghost but his intentions were not to see her crying and sad. He was sure to make her laugh a real laugh and make her strive to improve. When he saw her crying his teasing ceased and questions arose. "Are you okay?" He would ask, serious and plain. Only to see the ghosts tears were being wiped away. He was always too late to cheer her up. Always too late when she needed him most. Why was it that he was never there? Why was it that though he was watching he lets her pride run bare and he never rises a finger or a heart to help? And still she loved him. For all the laughs and fun. For all the work now done. But she had to ask herself "did he even care?" Was he like this because he cared for her or was it a show for another?
These two men caused the ghosts mind to become overrun. With selfish wishes and wants,she would thrash violently when faced with a decision between them. Her mind trying to make do by pointing her another way. Towards those who lived ever so far away. And towards those who did not even live off the screens she watched. Soon enough with the poison of love and longing devoured her and trapped her in her own heaven. A world where she could have them all with no worries, no doubts. Sleeping, sleeping that's where the ghost lies. Dreaming and dreaming of a world where she belonged. If only she knew that the two men who she loved were searching for her. They would wonder aimlessly trying to find their pretty ghost. Little did they know that when they find her she would be far from the real world...
