Entry #2: Past Shadows by Christine

PAST SHADOWS

The past haunts you every day. The mistakes you had made a thorn in your heart that buries itself deeper and deeper. Until one day it took your emotions away…… What will you do?

Guys please don’t leave me behind! Please I beg you Guys!!!!

“Ugh! Another nightmare. When will you stop please stop these” I said all these things while holding my chest……

I stood up and looked at the time…. It’s 5:00….

I went to the bathroom and took a bath…… Then I changed, ate my breakfast, ready my things and I waited ….

Why did you guys do this to me? Why? The words echo in my head it repeated itself…..

And because of that I didn’t recognize the time was already 6:00am.

Since my parents are still asleep I just made a note and left……

I saw the friends I had…. Making merry without me…. It made my heart sank

The more I saw of them the more I become emotion less….. The words that were meant to be said kept shut in my mouth….

“Why did this happened to me!” “What did I do to them?! Why?! I don’t understand anymore!!!”

I looked to the sky and kept these questions repeatedly…….

Until the Day my emotions left me because of the sorrows that I felt……

I’d become something nobody would imagine me to be…….

Since then my parents were worried for me but I didn’t felt a thing…..

Days past, weeks past, Months past, a year past I still remained the heartless person…..

It was the day of my Birthday…. Still I remained….

Christmas came and still nothing has changed…….. My parents told me “My dear, what has happened.” “Please do tell.”

But still I didn’t utter a word but only showed them a torned picture of my friends…..

A day came when my friends wanted to speak to me but their pride got the better of them and just teased me….

That only made it worse until one day I spoke to them……. “If you wanted this to happen you win…” “Cause you’ll never see me the way I was before” I left them with a cold stare…. They said “What have we done?” “It’s your decision…” with full of pride they said…. “I had a decision?” I replied with a cold voice… “If I had did you think I’ll be like this an emotion less person.” I said with an emotionless tone…. “You left me in the dark to rot.” “And I did” I replied with a cold smile…. “I’ve always wanted to say sorry to you guys but I guess you didn’t need me anymore.” I said with the remaining emotions that I had left… I ran away but before I did I saw them cry with guilt…. The past turned me the way I am today…. I loved my friends so much that I trust them more but look what happen they just left me in the dark….. I thought that I would be like this forever…….. But I didn’t……..

A day came when I was beaten up by the corner…. I thought that was the end….. But then the friends I had come to my rescue….. They said “Were so sorry we didn’t meant to hurt you like this were so sorry!” There tears fell onto my face….. I thought the emotions left me for good but it didn’t….

“It’s okay as long as everybody’s okay.” I replied with a smile that had been lost for the past years… “And I am sorry too”….

I came back to myself again thanks to them……

A true friend is determined by the faith that you gave them

And

They’ll show up when you needed them the most…..
