Gracy One Shots

Lost and Found

I was lost, yet I was found. I was like that one coat in the lost and found box at school. Everyone knew who owned it yet the owner never took it home.

Confusing? Well, welcome to my life!
Everyone told me he liked me, and that we'd be a perfect pair. Heck, even I knew he liked me! All his friends told me he liked me, except one, Zach. Zach was quiet and shy, but when you got to know him he was crazy and funny and his laugh was incredibly contagious. I never thought about those moments when I'd catch him staring or smiling at me.

I was so oblivious. I realised that he was the same as me, lost. I finally realised why he always wore long sleeved shirts and big jumpers all the time, he was suicidal. I didn't know what to do, even though I should've told someone. I wondered if he'd ever tell me. And he did. I asked him and he finally admitted he cut himself because his best friend loved his crush. I asked him who his crush was and he refused to tell me.

I felt kind of down because I knew it wasn't me... It's not like I had a crush on him so why was I feeling this way. I got a text from him minutes later. He told me... That I was his crush, and he understands if I don't feel the same about him.

I remembered all those moments, all the times he laughed at my jokes that weren't funny, when I caught him smiling or staring at me. I realised that I loved him. I told him how I felt and he told me that for the first time in 3 years he felt happiness.
I convinced him to stop cutting,  I told him that if you truly love someone you will never hurt them. I couldn't live without him and he told me I wouldn't be living without him. He promised me he would stop, and he did.

We were both lost, but now we were found. Not by our owners though.

We found each other.
