This is a short story I decided to write, it is on bullying........ it's a very touching subject, especially when it pertains to you.
This story is fictional.
Just do it.
You can do this.
God is with you.
Don't worry.
Forgive and Forget.
Turn the other cheek.
These same words keep passing through my mind as I enter the stage.
" I CAN do this.In Jesus' name I can.AMEN."
This prayer is small, but my pastor sais no matter how small the prayer, no matter how long, minutes, hours, days even, it HAS to come from the heart. I'm trembling from head to toe.
"Breathe, breathe Natalie, just breathe", I continually say to my self.
" Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual "Reach to the Heavens" event, today we present to you many teens from all over the world, who have been picked and chosen from the videos they've sent to us.Let us begin in this 2013 event with our three finalists. Please remember to turn of all phones and cameras as we will be recording this and selling copies at the front desk and also remember this is LIVE on national t.v........." the spokesman drones on as I pray for the hundreth time.
"You've, made it this far.God wants you to be here. I LOVE you God , no matter what I will always LOVE you", I think to myself.
Finally, it's gametime er showtime I guess, this is it, I'm first,they told me that an hour ago.
" Let's present to you Natalie Rosebud!" I hear the spokesman say. I walk or at least I think I'm walking. It actually feels like I'm floating. As I get on stage the crowd gasps.
"WHAT IS THAT!", I hear people scream. I'm an it now. WHAT!??! GOD this is not supposed to happen.
"KEEP GOING," I hear a heavenly voice say. I keep going, I grab the mike and cue the music. A mixture of a song I borrowed from my church and awe fill the stadium.
"I can't do this" I think to myself. Some two to three minutes pass on and I see a glow coming from the bottom of my white dress, traveling up through my legs and finally all over me. I turn around and a bright light in the form of a human engulfs me and I begin to fall.
I wake up and everywhere I look is white. I feel like I'm supposed to be scared but the thing is, I'm not. I feel complete joy and peace. Then all of the sudden, I see a chubby girl with thick orange blossom curls and caucasian sunburned skin. That's not all I see though, what I also see is something I blocked out of my mind a year ago. There are three other girls, they're big and broad, I know they're part of a gang because, the chubby girl is me and the reason I absolutely loathe this part of my life is beacause on this particular day these three girls AJ, KY, and OG-that's what they call themselves- are cornering me and humiliating the little dignity I had left in me.
The scene plays out in front of me...
"Hey, Blubberbutt, how's all of you hangin' , get it! Hangin', 'cause your hangin' all over the place",sais AJ the biggest of the bunch.
"HAHAHAHAHA!", they laugh in unison.
"Stop it!" I see myself cry out. " I MEAN IT, OR ELSE! " I yell.
"Or what?" taunts KY the buffest.
" Yeah, watcha' gonna' do 'bout it?!", sais OG the meanest.
"OR THIS!" , I see myself cry out as I raise the barrel of a gun out of my jacket pocket.
