The Saviors

How are you supposed to function when you have lost nearly everything? How to you keep going day after day when you feel you have lost all sense of direction?

Life is hard, even for just normal people with an average life. You have school, work, family, and friends to worry about, which is stressful enough without anything else. Then you have your insecurities like thinking you weigh too much, you aren't very pretty, or always wondering why the boy you like never seems to notice you.

The life I described may seem hard, but to me that would be a walk in the park. I envy those people who get to live like that, constantly wishing that could be me, and I wasn't cursed with the life I had.

I USED to have two parents, I USED to have a best friend who I could rely on for anything, I USED to have a dog, I USED to be happy.

I was 15 when I found out my dad had cancer. I watched him fight each and every day trying to beat this disease that had claimed so many others to be able to stay and watch me grow up.

He lost that fight though, and at 17 I had to watch my father die while I sat by and could do nothing. I lost a part of myself that day, and I'm not sure I will ever get it back.

The following time after that was crushing. I didn't want to go to school, I could barely leave my room, and I always felt depressed. I thought that at least during that time I could count on my friends to be there but they all seemed to drift away, not knowing how to deal with the situation I was going through. I turned to my mother hoping that she would show me guidance on how to try and move on, but she had her own problems to deal with and I didn't want to burden her with mine.

I didn't know what to do anymore, I was so lost and had no clue on how I was going to be able to keep living and move on. I was about to give up and just call it quits when I met them...

Five boys that changed my life and sparked something inside of me that I thought was dead.

Five boys who gave me hope when I thought it was all gone.

These five members of the band One Direction seemed to bring me back to life. No, not because they were handsome, I had a crush on them, or because I loved their music even though that is all true.

It was because they were just themselves...

They were all just regular people until they went to pursue their dreams and make music. Then when they were thrust into the spotlight, they handled it with such grace and they didn't let the fame change them. All five of them became best friends, although before becoming a band they were strangers.

I saw their friendship and how special it was, making me wish I had something similar to it, though I had given up on friends a long time ago. It was so rare and you could instantly tell it was real, thinking that these boys were closer than most brothers. They were alway positive and their happiness was contagious, with hardly a frown ever found upon their faces. They made me realize that was what I wanted out of life and I wasn't just going to sit and watch it fly by anymore. I had a reason to be happy now, my reason was them.

They gave me the strength and inspiration each day to get out and be alive again because you never know what could be waiting around the corner for you. If you work hard and don't give up you might get to live your dreams, and even if you don't the friendships you make along the way would be worth the trouble.

I was finding my way out of that dark place I had been stuck in for so long with their help. I listened to their music constantly and was anxious for when the next song or album came out. Whenever I felt like giving up or was crying myself to sleep I turned to them because I knew they would make me feel better and leave me with a smile on my face instead of tears.

I knew that one day I hoped I could thank them in person for what they had done for me, even though words could never fully express my gratitude. I never knew that coming face to face with them would change my life so drastically, and make it so unbelievably wonderful.

This is the story of how I met One Direction, My Saviors.

This is a new story that I'm starting soon that will be a little more deeper and serious than what I usually write but it's very personal to me and I can't wait to begin writing it.
