The Broken Girl's Diary

Remember

(Present day)

Dear Diary,

Today was graduation, I finally made it and will begin a new chapter of my life. It's also the day that I saw 'him' sitting in the row in front of me. Funny how we both shared our goals and dreams together. I had applied into different colleges and got accepted in all three. We both were going to make it together but nothing lasts forever, just a fantasy. I seriously had to pinch myself to believe this is real now I have these walls build up and won't let anyone break them.

Eric, a name I have blocked out for months it wasn't easy dealing with the heartache and rejection, I loved him, my first love. Do we ever forget our first love. Maybe, maybe not but the best is to move on and close that chapter. Seeing him was hard we both attended the same school and passed each in the hallways. I never got an explanation as to why he cheated we both avoided each other after I ended it & he never bothered to talk to me.

Alessia sat next to me until it was time to go on stage and collect our diploma. As I was handed it I couldn't help but smile. I've drowned myself into studying so hard to distract everything that made me want to self distruct and dealing with my anxiety attacks. Stepping down we threw our hats into the air and had a huge smile on our faces. My mom came and hugged us, congratulated both Alessia and I. She told me how proud she is and I know that her being a single mom for so long taking care of me, I am proud of her to. We both had happy tears streaming on our faces.
