Maybe my favorite chapter so far , I think it shows you a lot about McKenzie and her thoughts .
Or maybe that’s just ‘cause I wrote it . (;
The next few ones are probably going to be a bit more , emotional ?
As emotional as I can get with McKenzie in mind , I suppose .
I do admit , that sometimes I needed my friends , which was always really awkward for me .
I hated when I needed advice on something , which I would never ask for , but my friends were always more than happy to give .
Not that I ever used it . But sometimes , I just needed another persons thought and point of view on my situation .
I hated needing too just tell someone something that had been dying to be told .
I hated the feel like I needed someone .
I loathed it .
Freshman year , I hardly needed anyone besides myself .
And my always there , always trustworthy , drugs and alcohol .
But I needed help , at a few points . And it was bad .
It was around the start of the third semester that I felt totally useless .
I couldn’t help myself that one time .
God , it hurt .
Knowing I was so stupid , that I couldn’t even help myself .
It’s one of the worst feelings in the world .
For me anyway .
I needed help with a guy .
Yes , a guy .
And this is where you think , ‘ I thought you gave up on guys ? ‘
I thought I did too .
But this one guy , Danny , gosh . He was so gorgeous .
And as soon as I started actually talking to him , him and his girlfriend broke up .
It could have been fate .
I thought I’d finally get to play with him for awhile .
And that I did .
Except I ended up having feelings for him .
He had feelings for me too .
And although I promised myself I’d never date again , I could see myself with this guy .
There was only one problem .
He liked someone else , and he liked her more .
It hurt , it really did . But I thought it was for the best .
There was no way I could have real feelings for a guy , after all I had been though .
No way .
It was simply attraction , nothing else .
That’s what I kept telling myself anyway .
So I stayed with him . We acted like an actual couple , because the other girl lived in a different town .
We kissed in public , held hands during lunch .
Everyone thought we were together .
I actually felt happy , at the time .
I thought that maybe , he had forgotten about her . Realized he wanted me instead . Realized I was better . I knew how to make him happy , and he didn’t need to do anything in return .
I fell in so deep .
I would have literally done anything for this boy ,
And that was so sad .
So different .
I felt pathetic . This boy made me feel pathetic .
And yet I wanted him so bad .
I wanted to know what it would be like , if we were real .
If everything could just work out , just this once for me .
I couldn’t spend my day without thinking about him every few minutes .
He was always on my mind , and I hated it .
As much as I wanted him , I knew it wasn’t worth it .
I hated feeling like that for someone else . For feeling like I could die for someone .
All I had was myself , and that’s how it always was .
How it was always going to be .
I couldn’t depend on this guy , this guy that probably didn’t care about me nearly as much as I cared about him .
But , I had Danny by my side , and I didn’t care about anything else .
I didn’t care about what I thought , because I was always wrong anyway .
Everything was going to be okay . He would be different .
I knew he would .
I thought he would .
That was , until he dropped me like I was trash , and dated her .
