Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much.
Of course soon my friends started to realize that something was different, even people in around me knew to not question it. I knew it too, I was constantly under stress and pressure, it was hard. Soon enough people started questioning me if I was okay or not, of course I said I was fine because that's what they wanted to hear. It seemed like life was trying it's hardest to just stuff me up and so far it was so far it succeeding. I was losing sleep over something so stupid, luckily my grades were staying stable so my parents didn't suspect anything. Even he started to act differently around me, it was weird, it was like we both knew something was changing. It was like a storm was brewing, sooner or later is was going to arrive. I was scared for that day, I wished we were always smooth sailing but that was never possible. As the days went by, each day I got more and more anxious, I became less talkative in and out of class which was unusual as I was always really loud. Finally it came, it happened more fast than I could process. He caught me in the hallway on the way to class, pulled me into a empty classroom and before I knew what was happening he pulled me into an embrace. I stood there shocked, by the time my mind came around he had already let go. He asked me if I was okay, again I said I was fine but he just stood there, staring at me with his eyes full of sadness, the next thing he said broke me heart. "You still can't trust me?" I stood there tears starting to roll down my face. How did he expect me to just trust him again? Especially after what he did. I just couldn't but I did. I stood there crying and shaking. "I'm done", I walk out of that classroom, still crying then some force pulls me back. I turn around and suddenly my face was pressed was against a soft cotton shirt, "You don't need to lie, I know you're not okay", I fully break down at these words, how could I not fall head over heels for this jerk, it just wasn't possible. It was like time stood still while we were there, the room was dark, with the curtains with little slithers of sunlight seeping through. "You're going to be okay, you're strong, it's one of the things I loved about you". He kissed my forehead and got up and left. I stood there like an idiot, I ran out of the classroom, down the hall and out of the school. Away from the people who didn't actually care, away from all the fake faces and smiles, away from him
