Where Dreams May Fail

Chapter Five- Final

I woke up super early. My mom wasn't home yet (She had to work overnight sometimes) and my dad and bro had gone extra extra early to my bros soccer practice. Slowly, I lifted myself of the bed and slumped over to the bathroom. Surprisingly, when I looked in the mirror I didn't see a deprived troll. I looked somewhat decent. My eyes were a bit dry from all the crying but I had cleaned myself up before I had gone to bed and had the tiny burst of energy to braid my hair so it wouldn't be a rats nest. I stripped off my pjs and took a long relaxing shower. Believe me, showers are a blessing. (A/N amen to that)

When I got out, I got dressed in black leggings and an oversized sweater. Then I put my hair up into a cute messy bun. After finishing off with a touch of mascara, I congratulated myself on the amazing job I had done. Then, I headed downstairs.

Suddenly I stopped in my tracks.
'Crap... I have to deal with him today' I thought and groaned.
Trotting down the rest of the stairs I went and ate some breakfast.
Packing up my bag I gave myself a quick pep talk. 'It's alright. You are strong and confident. Don't worry about this.' Stepping out of the door and locking it I went to the bus stop.

The bus stopped in front of the school. I sighed. This was it. I stepped outside. Immediately I spotted Ryan running over to me from the wall he always.... Or almost always waited for me at.

"Kayla!" He yelled. "Listen please I didn't-" " I don't want to talk to you Ryan." I said with confidence." "Please Kayla we need to talk! Please..." He protested, desperation in his voice. "Fine you have two minutes. Go," I answered.

"I wasn't there in the morning because I had an appointment. Even ask my mom! I had forgotten and-and I'm so sorry I didn't tell you! I'm so sorry! And I didn't kiss Kailie! She kissed me! Please! You have to believe me! I can't loose you. Please." He almost yelled. I looked at the ground. Something in his voice told me it was all true. It sounded sincere and genuine and caring and- "How can I believe you?..." I whispered. "Because I love you" he said. And he sounded so sure. "I- I love you too," I answered.

I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. My eyes met his as I encircled my arms around his neck. At that moment, everything was perfect.

I opened my eyes. If only everything had been like that... Just a few little bumps in the road. I smiled at the thought of what could have been.

My smile quickly faded as I remembered reality. At that moment it all came flooding back. I remembered the pills and the bitter taste of alcohol. I remembered the prescriptions and therapy sessions. I remembered the screaming and yelling. I remembered the scars and razor blades. I remembered the abuse, the hate and the beatings. Most of all I remembered the pain and the hurt. And the numbness...

I stared out onto the city. Here no one could see me. Most didn't even know I existed. Looking down many people would have seen the height and feared it. Me? I saw an escape. I took one step forward and there was nothing beneath my feet. Smiling, I fell. Finally. I could be free.

This time, dreams had failed.
