radiant

14.

serenity and i skipped school today.

i found her crying after math.

that's when i realized she needed someone.

i took serenity with me, and i drove.

we stopped at a field.

i asked her if she wanted to talk about it,

she hesitated at first and nodded.

she told me about her parents, they weren't together anymore.

she lives with her mom, her mom dealt with frustration badly. serenity said, on occasions she would get beaten and thrown out.

i didn't know how to comfort her.

i wrapped my arms around her and said,

"you'll never be alone again, i'm here for you."

i meant every word.
