Once Upon A Lifetime

The weather was warm on that unusual, September afternoon. She knew something was off, as Bethany sat with her friends outside of the school. She'd been talking to her friend Bruce about her relationship problems and he swore to set him straight. "Gosh I hope everything works out between us." Bethany said to her friend, Anna. "Well everything will work out, meanwhile my boyfriend won't even talk to me for two seconds without running off to his friends." Bethany frowned. "Guys will be guys, I guess. So we went on with our day, it was fairly normal until the moment that would change my life forever.

It was around 2:50 after school. My bus takes at least 40 minutes to get there, but I didn't mind I liked spending time with my friends. I had struggled with depression and wasn't happy in my current relationship, but I held on because he was the one thing I had left of the last, the only thing I had left to hold onto. I had a decent amount of friends to keep me afloat, but with my strict dad I didn't get out much. Which I hated, because all I really wanted (and still do want) is to go out and explore what the world had to offer. I was suffering from depression, and even got to the point of starving and cutting. I was in an awful place. I kept fairly decent grades, and all but I still wasn't happy. But why not? I have everything I could ever wish for. Yeah it wasn't "perfect", but what kind of life is?

I just wanted something to work out, someone to be as clingy as I am. My boyfriend wasn't good with relationships. I mean it took him 4 months to even hold my hand! But things could've been worse. "But I just wanna be happy." She whispered underneath her breath.. So she sat there talking to her friends, and laughing. Acting like everything was perfect. Then this guy walked by. I've never seen him before, hmm.. I didn't really think of it as anything at first. Just another guy I have no chance with I thought. But I could feel something was different, very different.
