The Wonders [Short Stories]

Dark Twists

Her heart felt broken, put together before and then ripped to shreds after. She didn't know what to do. She felt like she was being twisted, broken.

Music was her only salvation, the only emotion she could feel. She felt the beat, she heard the words, she imagined its story.

She preferred to listen to songs WITH words, but did, in fact, listen to songs without words.

She was told by friends to keep strong, but she only wanted to curl up into a ball and cry. But she didn't.

No one would be there to hug her as she cried.
No one would rub her back as she cried.
No one would be there with her as she cried.

So she cried, feeling heartbroken, lost, and hopeless. But of course, it was quiet. She couldn't let her parents know.

She cried, until she was in her bed, curled up into a ball, absorbing the negativity. She wanted to leave. She wanted to give up. She wanted to be someone new.

But she couldn't.

She couldn't be someone new, because her nightmares would only catch up to her in time. She wanted to die.

But she couldn't.

For some stupid reason, people wanted her to stay, to keep living. "Why?" she asked them.

They replied with multiple things, talking about her personality, how she often didn't put the bad things over the good in people, how she knew everyone was kind, somewhere deep down.

And even though they told her these things, she still wasn't sure. Of course, they could be lying, but she didn't think so.

She had loved him too much, for too long, and it had come back to haunt her, to hurt her.

It was no more that she knew how to help herself. How could you be "just friends" with the one you thought, that you felt, was your soulmate?

She couldn't, and in her life this was only one thing in a series of dark twists.
