How much shit can a person go through before they're truly dead on the inside?"
Life is a challenging journey. It can be even more difficult when three girls find out that they possess extraordinary powers. One would assume that their abilities woul...

Walking down the stairs after getting ready for school I over hear my mother on the phone, another woman speaking from the other side.
"Caroline, you are just such a generous woman, honestly. I don't know what your daughter would do without you." The woman on the other side of the phone says, causing my mom to let out a fake giggle.
"Oh my daughter, she's just a total brat. She could care less about me. Always going out with friends, never around to help me. I'm praying to God she gets over this phase soon."
"Oh, every teenager goes through those types of phases, She'll get through it soon... But you never know, those friends of hers could be very bad influences. " The female remarks, my mom nods in agreement like the female over the phone could see it.
"Oh yes, I know they were. One of them almost always smells like alcohol, and she looks high. The other, god, that girl just looks like a hooker." My mom complains, I swallow thickly, listening to everything the two are saying, taking everything to heart. "I've even heard Emma and one of the girl's doing ungodly things, I swear if my daughter turns out gay, I'll probably commit a felony."
"Oh Caroline, I'm sure she's just experimenting, but doing ungodly things with another girl is a little out there. You should probably get your daughter away from those girls."
"It's such a shame, Emma used to be such a loving girl, now she's never around, acts like she's better than me which is honestly stupid. She is so stupid! And useless!" My mom lets out a breath, "I'm sorry for ranting to you. She's just getting on my last nerve."
God, I hate when she does things like this. Makes me out to be the bad kid, and I can't do anything right. I'm useless, I'm stupid...
It's something that most people have been saying about me recently, or that I've been saying about myself. Apparently I can't do anything right. Not a relationship, not a friendship. Ashley still hasn't spoken a word to me. But . . What should I expect though? They were always better friends.
But it would be nice if Ashley gave a shit, if she just randomly showed up at my house, at my window like she used to. If she came over and actually talked to me. If she would walk up to me at school and at least say hi instead of walking in the other direction with Aelin. Was she ever my friend to begin with? She acted like it, acted like my best friend, but right when things ended with me and Aelin, she left. . . She left me all alone.
I fight back tears as a tightness wraps around my chest. My breathing quickens and it feels like someone is strangling me. It feels like a python is wrapping around my entire body and squeezing the life out of me.
