Heartbeat

Chapter 1

Hey. I'm Nicole. I'm 17 and I'm a pretty happy person, despite of my broken heart.

I've tried everything I can to heal it, but it's really hard since no one's there for me to talk to. I'm always the one who gets left. Who gets her heart broken. It's been hard growing up too. I've been bullied multiple times, and I didn't really have a lot of friends growing up. The ones who I thought were real friends, well, they left me too.

This is probably a really sad intro but, this is who I really am. Pretty lame, i know.

I'm a socially awkward teenager. But I do have two good friends, Jules and Liz. Liz has been my best friend since freshman year. We've been through a lot together. She's also one of the people who just never seem to be annoying. She's helped me through a lot, too. As cheesy as it sounds, I do love her. Then there's Kyle. He came out 2 years ago. It's pretty weird, 'cause he's really attractive to actually be gay. He decided that he was sick and tired of pretending and hiding the fact that he's gay, so he just came up to his parents one day and there, he said it to them. So much respect to his parents though, because they were really supportive of it. Well, his dad didn't like it at first but he eventually understood. Us 3 have been hanging out with one another for the longest time. I forget all the bad stuff and stop overthinking when I'm with them. Pretty grateful to have them in my life.

I'm an only child and I don't know if I should feel lucky or unlucky. Sometimes, it gets pretty boring, being home alone and not having anyone to fool around with. I've never experienced being angry with a sibling and wanting to kill them. I would be a pretty mean and fun sibling, though. I live with my mom, since my dad is working in a different country. My mom can be pretty annoying but she's like a best friend to me. I can tell her all my problems and I've told her about all the heartbreaks I've experienced.

Anyways, enough with introducing myself.
