The Sadness Will Never End (Short Story)

Chapter 1: The Unfortunate

Bella was a tortured kid unfortunately, she had some what of a rough life her parents split up when she was young and never had any friends. School was tough as well she had a learning disability, kids made fun of her for it. As she got older she taught herself to deal with her problems she finally accepted her parents being separated, no friends, and her learning disability. Since Bella's parents were apart she lived with her mom, eventually they didn't have enough money to stay in her house so they got evicted. She was forced to move out of town and go to a new school which didn't seem to matter at the time. The first day in her new house and at her new school was nerve wrecking but she got through it or so she thought. After school on the first day kids took her and beat her up for looking "poor" and being the quiet new kid. Bella hoped for the best and just trucked her way through everyday. But she couldn't exactly stay happy or think positive in anyway about the whole thing. Bella felt left out and neglected by everyone, she kept herself locked up in her room most of the time on the internet trying to find friends that will accept her. She met one friend his name was Daylyyn, they became best friends and talked constantly. Bella had found out he lived near her not long after they started talking they became attracted to each other they both agreed to meet up one day. Which they did, Daylyyn showed up and surprised her outside her house they quickly ran up to each other and hugged for a few minutes. They took a walk to where Bella found a place to get away from everything, which was the beach even though it was cold that didn't seem to matter. They got to talking on how they only had each other and no other friends or even a family. Daylyyn didn't give up much information on what his life was about but Bella told him everything that had been going on with her. As they were talking it got darker and colder out but they refused to go home yet, Daylyyn offered his sweatshirt to Bella. Here was Daylyyn in just jeans and a black tee shirt and Bella with two sweatshirts on. He put his arm around her they said they should start heading back home and it was getting late. They were holding hands on the walk back when suddenly she noticed Daylyyn had cuts on his arm. She asked, "what happened there?" He replied, "its a long story." She said, "well we got time so explain," "alright then." "Before i was in high school i got bullied a whole lot and was called gay and stuff because i had a boyfriend at the time, I'm bi by the way, but I've been homeschooled ever since then because it wasn't just interfering with school it was affecting me at home my dad walked out on me when i was young and i just had my mom. One day i got beat up so bad i had 3 broken ribs when i went home that day i was tired of being treated like shit i wanted to end it all, i tried to kill myself." He held out his wrist and showed Bella a huge scar across his veins. "Right there is where i tried to end it i got stitches and everything they made me stay at the hospital in an insane asylum for a week. I swear i died i blacked out while i was heading to the hospital and i saw that light that if i followed it i wouldn't be here right now but after i got out of that hospital i was more happier coming out of there than coming home from a concert i knew i was meant to be put on this earth for a reason i just don't know what. But everyday i push myself so fucking hard to keep going and sometimes i feel so alone and tired of life again i do this to myself its such a fucking bad habit I've been doing it for 3 years, don't ever form something like this like me." "Well i have a question," Bella explained. "What is it?" "What would you do if i started cutting?" She asked as her voice cracked. "Well its not the worst thing in the world but i'd be upset and scared and worried about you, but promise me something if you do that tell me okay?" "Okay."
