Every Kiss Begins With..Okay? (Mabill)

~3~

Bill's Pov
Mabel burst into tears as she began to collapse. I yelped and used my fast reflexes to catch before she hit the cement.

"Shooting S-Star!?" I asked in a more of a panicked tone. She slowly stands up. Her eyes squeezed shut as tears run down her cheeks. I look at her.

"P-Please tell me what's wrong..." i begged. She nodded as she opened her eyes and looked at me.

I put my hand on her cheek and wiped away her tears...she rested her head in my hand, as if wanting to be comforted, and held close...

"Calm down...Slowly explain to me why your acting so upset all of a sudden..." i told her as i kept my hand on her cheek, and she rested her head on my gloved hand.

She sighed sadly.
"W-Well...I-It's A long st-story..." she said. "I've got time..." i told her. She put her hand on top of my gloved hand. She opened her tearful eyes and looked directly into my eyes.

"W-Well...Y-You probably d-don't know this, b-but i was h-homeschooled for m-most of my life...so i w-was v-very socially awkward i guess you c-could say...
I w-went to public school w-when i was 16...which was a big t-transition f-for me...i-i didn't understand a-alot of things...i a-actually ate my f-first lunch in t-the b-bathroom, 'cuz...i felt like i d-didn't fit in w-with anyone...the f-first year w-was really t-tough, especially s-since i was d-dealing with some i-intestinal i-issues, so i l-lost a lot of w-weight...
a-and i heard p-people call me A-Annie Anorexic behind my b-back...
But h-highschool got b-better for me!
My S-Senior year i had t-the BIGGEST crush on a g-guy in my c-class!
A-and that crush b-became m-my boyfriend! My first love, the first p-person you share many new emotions with, Love, Passion, Jealousy, Vulnerability! At 17 years old, i thought that i had found The One!
I was very happy! Until he started changing...alot...he started hanging out with the wrong people...and getting involved in the wrong things...
things i did not want to be a part of...and he began to lie...treat me differently...call me ugly names...very ugly names...so...i walked away...i wouldn't say this broke me...but it definitely squished my heart...i didn't understand how someone so kind! Could turn to be so cruel...so i was single...and i started university...i buried myself in textbooks, trying to avoid the empty feeling that i had...
Spending time with friends and family, really helped! Months went by and i started to feel myself again!
I was happy! One night i was out with friends, when i met someone...
i thought i would give the relationship thing another try! I mean...not all guys are bad! Right?
i ended up dating this guy from about a year...he was funny, and sweet, and he said all the right things! i thought to myself, i finally find a good guy that would treat me like a princess!
But...one day...i find out about...another girl! But not just one girl...multiple girls...
i tried to believe the lies he was telling me, but the proof was right there in front of my face...
He apologized for his mistakes, caught me crying...but i just couldn't look at him the same way again...
I couldn't even look him in the eye...so i left the relationship...
and i was sad again... i began to question myself, like so many girls that had been cheated on...things like am i not pretty enough? Am i not funny enough? Is something wrong with me? I hated these thoughts...
So i decided to move away...5000 miles away...to here...Gravity Falls, Oregon...i was lonely here because no body remembered me...so i went to food for comfort...i went from being 90 pounds to being 135 pounds...
I remember one time i went to a pool party...and i had a guy tell me...in a very rude tone...your body needs some work...instead of going to find another boyfriend for comfort...i swore off dating...i told myself i wasn't going to get into another relationship until i learned to love myself again! No more falling for other guys! I was going to fall for myself! I challenged myself to not date anyone for one year! Well...one year has turned into three years...i didn't mean to go three years! But i did...well...um...that's why i guess i'm so sad...it's just...i never thought someone as mean as you...could possibly be even the slightest bit nice to me..." Mabel told her story. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly.
"Your a strong woman Shooting Star..." i softly told her. She smiled and hugged back.
