Is It Really Worth It?

Chapter 1

For the first time ever since I graduated from high school. I am now feeling that my life has just started. Or so I thought, to be honest ever since I graduated high school, I never wanted to back more than now. Yes, I did skip a lot of class and never did any of the work but...it was fun and just remembering all my friends that I had there was the only reason why I liked going to school. And now that has all changed. However, before I go any further with anything else. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Victoria. I am an 18-year-old girl who has recently graduated from high school and in one month I will be continuing my studies at College. I will be going into for Funeral Directing. And yes, I know what you all must be thinking, how does an 18-year-old choose to become a Funeral Director, well it is a long story. But I chose to go into it and now I will become one. So now that you know a little more about me let's get back to what i was saying originally.

------ 2 Months Earlier ----

"I actually can't believe that we are going to be graduating in 1 week, it honestly feels like yesterday that we were entering high school for what at that time would feel like forever." Mia said as she placed all her books in her locker.

"I know, it is so hard to believe that after this week we will no longer be seeing each other anymore." Charlotte answered.

We were all so excited but scared at the same time, it was hard to believe that we are actually saying goodbye this time, but we just had to keep on reminding ourselves that it wasn't an actual goodbye it was more of a see you later type of thing. The reason why I say see you later is because, we will be seeing each other in 10 years for our school reunion, but it is also a see you later because we have social media. Honestly, thank god for that, I don't know what we would do if we did't have that.

"So, what are you all planning to do on the summer break?" Mia asked as she linked arms with Charlotte and I as we made our ways through the halls of our last week of being seniors in high school.

"I'm planning on going around the world and seeing as much as I can of Europe. How about you Mia?" Answered Charlotte.

Mia started to laugh as she looked at her phone before answering Charlotte's question, "Oh you know....just going to get as much stuff as I can before school starts. I want to be prepared for the first day of school.

I couldn't help but just stay quiet and try to distract myself by looking at my phone, waiting for work to call me for the next shift. It has felt like forever since my last one. Even though it was a few days ago. But I am pulled out of my thoughts when I suddenly feel someone's arms wrap around me and yell in my ear.

"WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE!!!!" Yelled Camila as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "Whoa...Victoria why are you so jumpy. I've noticed that you have recently become a lot jumpier when someone touches you. What's that all about?"

"It's nothing. I only jumped because you scared me. Didn't you see that I was looking at my phone?" I laughed as I tried to hide that I am terrified when people touch me. To be honest it all started about a year ago, when I was 16 and at my job that I currently have. To be honest it all started about a year ago, when I was 16 and at my job that i currently have. When I first started working there, one of the assistant managers started to touch me and would have one of the workers ask me questions about myself. In the begging they were innocent ones, like what do you I was asked about what I look for in a man and then it went straight to if I was a virgin. And like yes, I am but I didn't want to tell anyone that. 

"Victoria, Camila is right. You have been acting weird lately. Is everything okay with you at work?" Mia asked as she stopped walking and turned around to face me.
