Scared (Liam Payne)

Chapter 16

"Do you want to play with us Saige?" The little childhood friend I used to have said.

"No thanks." I said then I sat on the concrete floor just using my imagination.

It all started in Kindergarten, I was shy even when I was younger and I just wanted to be alone. I was scared what people would of thought of me if I had become their friends. My only friend was my imaginary friend who was a unicorn, yes a unicorn, named Rosie. We talked about everything but that's because Rosie was my own conscious.

My little childhood friend who wanted to play with me, who her name was Maria, hated me because I didn't talk a lot and I wouldn't play with her.

In first grade, my parents began to worry about me since I had no friends over the house or even talk to them.

"You have to be brave and make some friends, Saige. This isn't healthy for you, go make some friends instead of being by yourself." My dad said when he was fed up with me talking to Rosie or in his case talking to myself.

In the second grade, I tried to make friends like my dad had told me. I acted someone I'm not though and that was worse then being alone.

I tried to hang with a bunch of girls but they found me rather annoying. When I talked to them they would ignore me.

I whined and cried. I blame my dad for the whole cause of trying to make friends. I probably ruined my reputation already.

"Oh honey, you will soon make friends, the right friends. They will show up in your life soon, I didn't find the right friends until middle school." My mom tried to cheer me up when I finally told her what has made me cry all the time.

It was the third grade already I just did my job to be a student and worked as hard as I can in school.

A girl name Taylor was my desk partner. She was actually pretty much my friend.

We started to hang out, even though I could barely talk due to my shyness.

"Trust me Saige, don't be scared of me, I don't bite. I promise we will be best friends forever." She said.

We hanged out after school everyday. My shyness started to slowly go away with her since the fact she was my only friend. My mother and father were happy that I finally got a friend and not being by myself.

But after she left I did talk to Rosie. She kept on telling me that Taylor won't be friends with me anymore when we grow up more. It sounded dumb and Taylor did tell me we will be best friends forever.

As fourth and fifth grade had passed by, Taylor and me didn't have the same teacher. We didn't hang out as much as we did before because she said she was busy with her other friends.

Middle school came around and Taylor already had her own group of friends. I was alone. The worse part is Taylor and her new friends started to bully me. I don't know why though. Everyday I felt miserable from what they were saying to me. Rosie was right, I should of listened to her.

Lunch was just me being quiet. I would some what tear up from all the bullying I got but never let the tears fall down my face.

"Are you ok?"

I was scared and I finally looked into the girl's eyes.

I almost started to run.

"Don't be afraid. Are you ok? I saw you and it looked like you were about to cry."

"I-I-I'm fine." I looked down at my food, not even touched.

The girl sat down. "I'm Gretchen. What's your name?"

"Saige."

"Well Saige, don't cry because a pretty girl like you shouldn't." I smiled.

Gretchen introduced me to Sydney and all three of us were like the three amigoes. We ate with each other at lunch, hanged out, had sleepovers. My shyness was gone every time I got to talk to them.

We were still good friends when high school came right around the corner. They got new friends but we always hanged out with each other and nothing could change that.

One day, my mom and dad said they have good news but it sounded like bad news to me.

"We're moving?" I said with hurt feelings.

"Saige, honey. We have no chose anyways, it's your father's job." My mom said.

I didn't argue, I never argue with my parents. But I didn't want to move, having to make new friends was going to be hard for me as usual.

It was moving day, the mover guys got all my boxes. My mom and dad were packing our luggage in the new car my dad bought and I was saying goodbye to Gretchen and Sydney. I was sobbing and they gave me a hug.

"Trust me Saige, things will get better." Gretchen said.

"Yeah and remember we will never forget you even if you are three thousand miles away." Sydney said and we did a group hug before I got into the car.

I roll down the window and started to wave goodbye to them. Driving down the road, I was already far away from home and getting closer and closer to my new home.

Now I am here in California nothing with drama. I don't even know where my shyness even came from my mom or dad's side. I was not acting at all, it was truly who I am. But I am over it, I don't want to be shy anymore and I think I am losing it everyday since I got here. I'm done. It's time to not be a pussy and live the fucking moments.
