She came Back

School trauma

I woke up at 6 am today. It was the first day of school after our winter break. I did actually feel like shit today. I still had to go to school, sadly. I got up out of bed and grabbed a clean towel nearby. I went to shower. I took off my clothes stepping in the bathroom. Looked at myself in the mirror before showering. I was seeing my own relection, a ghost. A living, breathing ghost. With my bed head, dark circles, swollen lips, bruises on my skin, cuts covering my arms and my tired emotion showing. I really looked like a ghost. Wrecked.

After showering, I got all ready. I did my hair and fixed my face. By the end of it all, I looked great so I left for school. When I arrived, I ignored everyones presences. I know it was rude, but if i replied, it would have been more rude, since my replies on these "shit" kind of mornings are horrible.

I entered my classroom. Still ignoring everyones presence. Sat in my seat at the back. Then the teacher came in. We all stood to greet them. By the time we sat down. One of our teachers were already saying something which I thought I should pay attention to.

"So students, we have a new student with us. Please be kind to her"

A girl in the front stood up and turned around. My vision was a bit burly so I was having difficulty determining who she was.

"Students," the teacher started. "Say hello to your newest classmate," my vision got cleared up.

"Julie Grey"

'Wait, What was happening? Was this true?' I thought. I stood up. But the second I stood up, I wasn't feeling so good. I was losing my balance. I had collapsed on the floor.

I woke up with the scent of alcohol. I was in the nurses office on the medical bed. I glanced around taking in my surroundings. I was feeling suffocated and isolated by all the white wall and the scent of alcohol. Just when I was about to get out of the medical bed and make a run for it, a nurse came in.

"Oh, so you're awake already. That was quick" she said whispiring the last sentence.

"Um, what happened?" I asked since I couldn't remember anything and I was getting this massive headache now.

"You collapsed, probally because you didn't eat anything this moring and last night." She stated. She was right. I guess I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn't even consider eating. Gosh, what's happening to me?

"When can I leave?" I asked immediately. I didn't like it. It brought bad memories to mind. Real bad memories which left deep scars in me. I didn't want to be here.

"I think you are all okay and ready to go home."

With that statement, I got up, slightly shaky. Picked up my stuff from the floor and headed off ignoring her presences. I wasn't going home. Heck no. I was going to the place where Julie and I had broken up. Why? Because If she's going to be in the same class as me then I have to learn to let go. To let go of everything we once had.

I had arrived after walking for an hour from my school. It was here. Central's Seaside. This was the place where all the worst memories had happened. Where I gave up my life, and jumped into the sea. Where I was drowning in pain. Where we broke up....
