[ HIGHEST #745 IN SHORT STORY ]

If phones can connect to each other, why can't the people using them connect too?

~•~•~•~•~•~

17 year old Evora Davis just started senior year. She has never had friends or support in anything. Now going into a new school in Toronto with people who actually notice her, it's not the type of publicity that she wanted. Getting bullied, put down and pressured to do drugs, the only thing she can turn to is the Teen Helpline, available 24/7. 

19 year old Scott Mathews works at the Teen Helpline in New York. He has gotten the weirdest phone calls imaginable, but one particularly stands out. And she keeps calling. Almost everyday....

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards
The Girl I Used To Be by SammyDBunce

Book 1 of the "Used to Be" Series Scarlett Fisher: the school's resident mean girl. Beautiful, smart (but doesn't let people know), charismatic, confident (or at least that's what everyone thinks.) The truth is, she's scared, Scared that one day people will see past her smile and charm, and see the person she really is on the inside. Scared that someone will remember who she used to be. ~•~ Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect. ~•~ Arora Fisher: the girl most people didn't notice until they needed help with homework, the girl who was voted most likely to disappear and no one would notice. The girl who her believed in the good in others, who wanted to just give people a chance, no matter how many red flags. The girl who was lost to tragedy. ~•~ "We'll be broken together." He try's to smile, but he can't manage it and I nod, knowing how much pain he feels. "We'll be broken together." I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.

"9-1-1, what is your emergency?" "I've just been raped. I was raped... I need help, please..." "Okay, we can help you. Where are you?" "FAO Schwarz in the ladies' room." "What's your name, honey?" "Maggie. Maggie Isabelle Holbrook..." "All right, Maggie, I'm setting up your exact location into the database and dispatching an ambulance out to you now. Can you tell me how old you are?" "Seventeen. I'm seventeen. I just graduated high school a week ago." "Shit. You from New York, Maggie?" "No. I'm on vacation here with my mom. It was a graduation present. We're from Seattle."
