There was a little girl, Madeline, was her name, she was only 4 years old. At a young age you expect everything to be perfect, right? Loads of friends, loving family, no worries, all that good stuff, but there was nothing for little Madeline. The young sweetheart wasn't cared for, she was bullied, had no friends, it didn't make sense. She made good grades, the sweetest girl ever, pretty, nothing was wrong with her, so why does she have such a terrible life? Nobody quite knew why. Aside from having nothing she had one very important friend to always turn to, her teddy bear. It was pink with a pink bow around its neck, slightly to the left side of her body, abound black nose and a smile sewn on to always remind her to smile. Madeline named her Teddy and she took her EVERYWHERE, wherever Madi was, Teddy was sure to be there, besides school, since "toys" weren't aloud. *eye roll* Teddy was NOT a toy but its the rule. Madeline always followed the rules. Anyway it seems like you have the idea of Madi and Teddy's relationship.
Madeline always did things that she thought people would be proud of her by, but nobody noticed. She was so mistreated, left out, abused, she didn't see it as any of these and nobody saw her as a victim. She had a beautiful smile that lit up the world, if anybody saw, she smiled at strangers, they ignored her. 4 years old and not getting treated right really does a number on a kid. Anyway, after every day she cries every night, only to start over the next day. Teddy was the only one who comforted the little girl all the tears were hidden inside the pink pushiness of the bear. Nobody knew.
One day at school, Madeline was playing by herself, as usual, but today was a special day, her birthday. She's turning 5. As the girl was playing two figures appeared behind her. It was Jason Smith and Evan Sims, her worst bullies. One took her hands and the other her ankles, she was crying, scared, TERRIFIED, at what they were going to do. The boys started swinging her, and counting, she cried for help, when they got to 2 the teacher sitting RIGHT THERE told them to put her down, they did, laughed then went on to their own lives, leaving Madi to cry to herself. They always terrorized her.
When she got home she didn't tell a soul what happened, besides Teddy. Teddy knew everything. Madeline was in her room playing, like a normal child, when all of a sudden her step dad busted through the door, he stumbled in and went straight towards the child, slapping her with full force. She went down, holding back tears till the drunken mad man left. When she heard the door slam shut she crawled into bed with Teddy and cried herself to sleep. This was a normal thing to the young child. Everyday bullied, every night abused and forgotten.
~years later~
After years of moving, losing family and gaining a new step dad, Madeline was in 5th grade, 11 years old. She has a couple close friends now and the abuse has died down, bullied and still feeling alone, Madeline still has Teddy, so many tears are in that bear you could fill a bath tub. Madi has gotten used to everything. Feelings haven't numbed completely yet, but seems to be getting there. Her friends have helped her through a lot of her bad times, even been helping her getting over the past, which Madi knows that will never completely happen. Worth a shot though. I mean why the fuck not?
12 years old now. Man time doesn't slow for depression anytime. Madeline goes to a new school, she has a best friend, that's actually a person, Corrin's her name. She's tall and she's smart, beautiful and strong and when's someone down she tries to fix what is wrong. Corrin was a great person. Madi always went to Rin for any and everything. They told each other everything, turned out Rin was just like Madi. She was abused at home and bullied at school. A perfect match of friends. They made each other happy and of course Teddy was involved, the first time that bear saw true happiness. All that bear knew was pain and and sadness, yet it always wore a smile and now her smile is there for a reason. Madi was finally happy!
~more years passed~
January 26, 2014, there was a news report about a suicide of Corrin Buckner, Madeline's best friend. She didn't even find out till September 21, she can't believe her best friends dead. Madi's now 14, in high school, a really good high school. She was really happy until she found out. She couldn't live without Rin. She went to the trunk of her van, a blade in hand and Teddy beside her. She cuts over and over, losing a lot of blood. She was crying, a broken heart was busted. Nobody heard her, nobody cared, blood got onto the teddy bear and salty tears flowed down the broken girls face into Teddy, who was under her head. The blood was pouring out of Madeline's wrist, the feeling in her arm was gone, she was losing consciousness. The world slowly blacking out, "Here I come Rin" was all she could say...
Teddy blinked. She was alive! But how!? Maybe from all the blood that soaked into her or even the tears of a child, who knows!? She she some how came to life and the next thing Madeline knows is that she's in the hospital room, her arm being bandaged. Teddy, right beside her, as always. Nobody knows what happened in the back of the van that saved the girl but something happened and not even I can tell you.
Ok hey guys, sorry this things so depressing, but I'm thinking about doing one but as the bears P.O.V. Like this but out of Teddy's eyes. Whatcha peoples think? Tell me if i should or not. And also, I couldn't find the news story of Corrin, so as soon as I do, I'll replace the video with it. R.I.P Rin. Here's the video if anyone wants to see: http://www.fox16.com/news/mother-pushes-internet-safety-after-daughters-death
