Learning to Love Yourself

Prologue

My vision blurrs as I look out at the water down below me. The freezing rain poured down, making my dark brown hair sticks to my pale skin. I rock back and forth on the edge of the bridge. I faintly hear people yell behind me as I lean forward and feel my body freeze. 

I am falling, falling until my body hits the surface of the water. The darkness consuming my vision as it swallows me whole. 

Red and blue lights flash in front of my eyelids as I come in and out of consciousness.

"Ma'am, you need to stay with us!" A female voice said. 

Sudden movement caused me to crack open my blue eyes and I was in the back of an ambulance. 

The darkness consumed me again. The next time I woke up, I was in a hospital bed in a hospital gown and an IV in my left arm. My body relaxed as I laid still under a thin and surprisingly warm blanket. 

"Abby! Oh my god!" I hear Lexi run in and wrapped her tan and warm arms around my frame. One way to describe her is perfection. She was tall, perfectly fit, tan and had gorgeous strawberry blonde hair with hazel eyes. 

Compared to me, she was a goddess. I was a ghost, nothing. My hips were wide, I was what people considered "curvy", but I think I'm fat in my eyes. My thighs were big, but toned. I had pale blue eyes and dark brown hair that hung down to my lower back. I was about 5'2" and hid myself within baggy clothing. 

I live in Seattle, Washington state. I attend the University of Washington to obtain my art degree. I am a twenty year old woman living my sad and uneventful life until it all changed when I met Ezra Blackwood of Black Technology.
