The Girl In The Mirror

Overcomer

**Two weeks later**
         I woke up thinking of the same things last night, all the things he said and did, it all hurt. But I got up and put on a brave face anyway. Then I went in the bathroom to get ready for my day, then I did it. I looked in the mirror like I did everyday, and I felt week again. I didn't talk to anybody about things, and I kept everything to myself. I didn't feel the same, I was depressed. I was hurting. Everyday was the same thing.
         By now I found a job at Whataburger, nothing much it was just about 7.25 dollars a hour which was good for now. I'm in foster care right now with Kaitlyn's family which I told them would be okay but they insisted. Everything was starting to come up again, except for the voice inside my head. Nothing really changed on that and I was getting really depressed. I wanted to change but it was hard to after that experience, but I would be okay. I was also going back to school. This was really hard especially after the "incident". Everyone thought I skipped town or I died actually which, I don't blame them. I mean I was missing for 3 months. But people were starting to get used to me again so the looks were starting to die down. At the moment I was doing homework in my bedroom. Then I figured, why not go out? I mean I didn't have work so why not. So I packed up my stuff, and went on a walk. 
**Time Skip**
        I went walking around the beach. It was pretty cool, I felt nice but kind of freaked out. I remember when I was taken straight off this beach. I need to clear my mind. So I laid down on the beach, the beach was always so calm. The water was still tonight too, so it was definitely calm tonight. Then I look up, I see the stars. I always thought about stars, how they were all so different, each and every one of them. They were all special in there own way, kinda like people I suppose. Each one of us are so different. Then I started thinking, what would happen all the things I did didn't happen? Would I be the same person I was today? Probably not actually, you never really know how you'd be. Then I realized, what if it was supposed to happen that way? What if these things happen for a reason? Then it came to me, all things happen for a reason! All these things I kept blaming myself for weren't my fault! All of these things were supposed to happen, to make me the person I am! Without those experiences I wouldn't have been able to feel these emotions that I feel, and anyway, because of Luke, My friends, My Mom and Dad, I was shaped into this person I am today! Just because I have one bad experience doesn't mean it will always be this way, things always change, and I want to change! I will change! So I get up, I keep chasing those stars, I ran fast with my head up high! And that voice that wasn't haunting me anymore, he disappeared, he was gone. He wasn't in my reach, I finally broke free from that cage that I thought I'd be trapped in forever. Then I stopped, and I looked back to find my tracks in the sand, but when I did they were gone. Just like the voice in my head.
         Afterward I fell down again, but I was laughing. A genuine laugh too, not the fake ones I put on everyday. I looked back up at the stars, and I believed it, I knew what I was going to do, I would change. And that's what I set out for. I started feeling happier, free, and confident. I was ready for the change, and I knew that I won, he lost, and the war was almost over.
