A cute story that I made up for my amusement . My friends say it's good so...
It's just what and how I would imagine my life would turn out like if I had a more strict childhood and if I never had my friends in middle school. So it's really over dramatic and angsty. I just brought all of my bad thoughts to extreme in this with social anxiety and anxiety in general. There is a little bit of an eating disorder but nothing mager in that. Some of it is true in a way, like with my family, I just twisted it a little to make it seem really depressing. And of course I had to add in the Wizarding World, cause it's what I live for.
Story summary/back story (minor spoilers):
I've been a mute, or tried to be, since around 6th and 7th grade. I learned sign during summer from a multitude of books, YouTube videos, and my favorite and nicest teacher in the world. My family never bothered to learn, only sometimes they'll understand small things, otherwise they MADE me talk. They MADE me, they didn't care if I was uncomfortable with it, they didn't care that it made me physically ill to speak to people let alone people I didn't know... Years of fighting panic attacks because I HAD to speak in front of the class, and HAD to make new friends when we moved. I couldn't do it anymore. So I tracked it all, all my anxiety and suffering, right back to speaking. So I decided I wouldn't anymore. It was hard for people to understand, and yeah I was mocked and bullied and forced to use my voice, but I didn't whenever I had a choice.
The only person that understood my predicament, even by a little bit, and tried to help and support my choices, was George. Sure he was my sisters ex and sure he was a year older than me, but he cared...when no one else did. So he stayed around. But I couldn't help but feel like he was more of my protector than my friend... So after one night he is the connection to a whole new world that would except me in a way I would never imagine.
