I Won't Let You Down

Chapter 1: Tumblr Abigail's Pov

"Happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Abi happy birthday to you" sang mom and dad, as they walked into my room holding a cake.

"Oh Abigail darling I can't believe my little baby girl is now fifteen, soon you will move out, get married, have children and we won't get to see you anymore" said mom starting to cry

"Mom you do this every year I'm sorry that I'm not little anymore, anyhow I won't be leaving for at least another five years" I laughed

"Come on Kathy we knew that our little girl wouldn't be little forever, here's your present from the both of us" said dad, putting a largish box wrapped in silver wrapping. I sat and opened it, it was a MacBook Pro "oh mom dad thank you so much"I said, happily

but I was a bit confused though, because mum and dad never let me have anything like a computer or a smart phone because they told me that the internet is dangerous. "I thought you said the internet is dangerous and i couldn't have any thing like this" I said , confused

"I know we did but me and your mother decided your old enough to be smart and safe on the internet" explained dad

"You guys are the best!" I screamed, with enjoyment

"we're happy you love your present just down let us down okay?" Mom questioned

"don't worry I won't" I reassured them.

After they left the room, I turned on my laptop. After setting it up I decided to register to Tumblr, I remember my friend Darcy telling me about it. She told me it's a cool website for blogging about things you love and sharing pictures and also that there is a whole community of people who all love different things. It's perfect for me because I can finally find some people who relate to me, I made my username justalittleodd so people who know that I'm not the typical girly girl. First I had to make a blog I wasn't sure what I would put, because I'm interested in so many things. Hours went by as I was trying to come up with a title and what the blog is going to be about. "Abigail come downstairs please sweetheart" called mom, from downstairs

"Coming mom"I shouted, slamming down the laptop lid as I walk down the stairs I begin to wonder what should I put I have so many ideas in my head I just don't know which one to choose. That's the problem you see not being able to go on the internet for fifteen years. I walk into the living room, "hey mom and dad" I say, next to mom

"we're going to order take out, what do you fancy darling"asked mom

"I thought dad always chooses"I replied, turning on the tv and switch the channel to cartoon network

"well not tonight it's your birthday so it's up to you"said dad

"er mm okay, can we get pizza?"I ask, my eyes glued to adventure time (even though I've seen this episode hundreds of times before)

"yes of course we can" said mum, walking out of the living room. Dad turns to face me,

"so hows the laptop?"he asked me

"It's amazing I love it thank you so much for buying me it"I smiled

"I'm happy about that just be careful there are alot of dangerous people on the web"dad says, concerned

"don't worry dad I know" I reassured him. After we eat our pizza I go back upstairs and switch my laptop back on. I put the title as introduction I know it's cliche but I need to start somewhere and I haven't been online properly so I think I need to introduce myself. I wrote: Nobody said it was easy, The Scientist by Coldplay, these lyrics are more than just words sang by Chris Martin they're a statement in life. They make me feel like everything will never perfect so don't pretend don't hide behind cosmetics you're in control of your life and just like Chris sings nobody said it was easy and it's not, the sooner we all realize there will never be perfection as long as us a society obsessed with being something we're not, we will never feel free we will never live the full lives that we should. I' m Abi okay Abigail I sounds to formal for me because I'm simply not anything special but I intend to go through this lifetime with my head held high because you are the leader in your world. Post I've posted it, nobody will probably read it there are millions of people with millions opinions, I switch my laptop off and go to sleep.

Morning, I instantly turn on my laptop and go onto to tumblr. I expect to see no notifications but there is a message and comment from one person called chancetodream it reads: Abigail your words are beautiful, I couldn't believe it when found your blog post I've been on tumblr for years and I have never read everything that has spoken to my heart as much as you post did to me and as for you saying your nothing special well you shouldn't be so modest because you have gift with words, one which is going to get you far in life, I love Coldplay too 'Leave a light on' from Midnight I wrote a post about those lyrics a few months ago it would be amazing if you could check it out. 

I went through this Tumblr page slowly looking at every single post. Everything he posted from Artic Monkeys to living life to the full was everything I believe him, as you can see from his page he is very passionate in things he loves but is yet to discover what he believes is true beauty.

I sit on my bed hours go by, I don't know to reply. I mean how do you relpy to someone who comments on your everything single word. I look at the screen and begin typing quickly: I don't really know how to respond, I mean no one has ever commented on my opinon with such kind words and I check out your page and I must say you have some amazing posts and blogs on there I particley like the one about your little brother, how he sees the world through your parents eyes and one day his poor innocent kind will have to learn the cruel realitay. I'm also a HUGE Artic Monkeys fan (Just saying)
