Will You be True

    Okay so let me start with the basics.

    A fresh start, new beginning, whatever you wanna call it!

    My name is Alice Elizabeth Brooks. My life is certainly diverse, as i suffered from depression until i was about 23. Im pale, brown eyed, and my hair is dyed an unnatural shade of red, neon red. As a teenager I was friends with a boy about a year older than me, Jimmy Owen Sullivan. He was the only person I could talk to, one of my only trusted friends. Then things changed when he met Brian Haner. Bri didn't enjoy my presence and I didn't enjoy his so eventually I stopped seeing Jimmy.

    All through my high school career I was made fun of, bent, and broken. I didn't have a boy friend, no longer had Jimmy by my side, and to top that off I often got into quarrels with stuck up girls. I was definitely a horrible teen, disrespectful, no, but bad ass, yes.

    I remember the day I met Jimmy as if it were yesterday.

    I was sitting on the swings after a long day of primary school when I felt a light push from behind, kindly pushing me forwards. I gasped as I went back towards the hands that pushed me, my brown hair framing my face. I dragged my feet on the sandy ground beneath me and looked back to see a very tall boy around my age.

    "Hi," he said shyly.

    "Hello," I answered hesitantly.

    "You seemed lonely. I'm lonely too, I thought maybe someone would know how I feel for a change," The young boy said wearing friendly smile.

    His eyes reminded me of Arctic pools, his hair of dark chocolate, and his body was tall and skinny.

    I remember sitting on the hillside by the babbling brook with him, talking about my problems.

    He would nod every so often, ask questions when confused, and furrowed his eye brows as I got teary eyed as if he were concerned for me.

    The night ended with a long, warm, friendly, embrace at my front door step.

     I looked at the large blue pools in his eyes and even after everything that had transpired that day I felt happy, safe, and alive.

    That night I decided to create an almost unbreakable bond between us.

    Now let me explain this whole Brian thing.

    Mum always used to say "Alice, if he's mean to you the boy has a crush on you," with Brian I'm sure his attitude wasn't meant to be taken lightly.

    It wasn't exactly anything he said, but what he did, how he looked at me, his arrogant personality, I really disliked these qualities.

    When I was younger I had a crush on Brian. I had to be about 7, I just thought everything about him was perfect, much like Jimmy but in a different way.

    Brian was nice to me when I was younger, a total sweetheart even. As we got older though he let go and we drifted apart, our friendship began to die. I didn't understand what happened, my mum blamed puberty for my loss in friends, as they were my only two friends.

    I graduated school with a degree in visual arts. I'm such a nerd, I majored in comic books for Pete sakes!

    I'm into music too but it was more of a secret passion that only those close to me knew about, take Jimmy for instance. That kid knew my damn blood type!

    Soon after going to art school I moved to a nicer house in the same neighbor hood. I was now independent, living the life until, well, things happened.
