Reverie • The Bangtan Bitches

The Flowers in the Meadow

to the bangtan bitches, this is from me to you. 

In this story is a little girl, she had short black hair. The little girl was dressed in a dirty black dress reaching her fragile knees. Her tear stained face was covered with scars that represented each trial she's ever went through in her life. 

One scar, to the insults. Another, for the peer pressure. And another, for the pain she has felt inside for so long. She locked herself inside her cage for years. Which might explain why she felt so broken and old, even though she never showed it. The cage was like her safe haven, all her lost secrets and feelings lived in there with her. The little girl was very scared to share those hidden feelings with anyone, afraid of their judgement. 

Not much people passed by her cage and bothered to help. But when they did, the little girl would only feel temporary relief. Because the wound in her heart was still here, it was only temporarily cured. And bound to get bigger and more painful. So the little girl gave up in finding a treatment for her wounds. She sticks to the 24 hour lasting treatment most of the time. When people pass by her cage, she would use that cure for them. Until dusk hits, and that's when her smile slowly disappears again. 

She didn't want people to help her feel better anymore. She also didn't want to seek the help of someone who was gonna leave her or step on her bleeding scars again. She was done being used and left alone, when she needed someone the most. Her scars were still there, she lost hope that'll she ever smile again. Because her inner demons were taking her over. 

And so it surprised her, when she receives a dark blue key that was slid into her cage by a familiar shadow as she tried focusing on sorting her demons out of the day. The little girl looked for the familiar shadow, waiting for it to show up to her cage again, to explain why they left this blue key with her. Though days passed, and no one came. 

So the little girl decided to play around with the blue key, until she had the idea of using to open up her protective cage. And it worked. 

The little girl slowly stepped out of her cage and into a foreign meadow. She never knew how much light and hope was waiting for her outside her shadowed cage. The meadow was beautiful. Wind softly caressed the groups of lovely flowers and golden wheat sitting in the grassy meadow. Golden sunlight from beyond the blue skies showed itself onto the fields. 

The bruised little girl heard a series of giggles coming from across the fields. She was worried that these were the demons she feared for years. She was so worried that she clutched super hard onto the blue key in her hands. Her cheeks turned bright red, while her fists gained a more purplish blue color from its force on the hard key. The key that may have possibly gave her hope. 

She followed the trail where the giggles came from, stopping at a large tree. There were a group of people around her ages. Each of them had on dirty white attire, similar to the little girl. Though what shocked her, is some of them were smiling. While others were like here, marked with bruises alike hers. 

One of the oldest of the group of people approached the little girl. Who was standing across from them, shocked at how different but alike they all were. 

The other girl was wearing the same dress as her, except hers being a white color. She had long and wavy jet black hair going down to her waist. She was pretty, even she sported similar scars as the little girl. 

"Well hello." She smiled at the little girl. Her eyes traveled down to the little girl's blue key, which she had protectively wrapped in her hand. 

"I see you received our invitation." The older girl smiled down at her, before she directed the little girl to the others having fun at the large tree. 

"We're family here. We help bring each other up and spread positivity for each other. Which is why I invited you here, cause we care for you and each other. This family has its ups and downs,. but we're here for you if you need anything. " The older girl explained. 

The little girl looked at her confused. "I-I don't understand." 

The older girl smiled again at the little girl. "We're all hurting inside here at some point, but we found each other.  An amazing bond was created here that I can't describe. I brought you here because I want you to smile. Because you're also super important, remember that. You can always come to us when you need to vent. We want to help you smile. I hope you know that, we're here." 

The little girl didn't want to believe her words, but she knew what the older girl was saying was true. She saw it everyone there, relatable people. The same pain. 

She turned to the older girl. 

"You're right. Thank you. Now I can finally be myself, I feel safe here." 

A smile crept onto the little girl's face. "I'm happy, I'm home."
