The ones from above blessed you with a normal life. A life maybe not many would be jealous of, but a life that you yourself were comfortable and satisfied with.
Being raised purely by your mother, your father died long before your birth, but that did not sadden you. For you had the chance to be raised together with another child, the child of your mother's best friend. As you and the boy grew up, you were inseperable in the women's eyes. Though being raised together meant that the both of you got mistreated by the other children in the village.
But that didn't bother you at least, for you had each other. And that's all that mattered for you. The boy seemed to share the same opinion, yet he still seeked acceptance from the other children in the village, one that you tried to helped him achieve. Mark the word, "tried".
Years went by, you lost hope in everything as you realized you may never see your dearest childhood friend again, one that you managed to develope a liking for. He disappeared the night your hearts became one, or so you thought at least. From then on, you've been all on your own, choosing to escape to Midgar and starting your life anew there after your hometown Nibelheim burned down to shreds.
Barely being able to survive in either the slums or upper plate, the constant nightmares haunting you every night, keeping you from falling asleep, the constant worry over having to think of where to spend the night... you've managed to execute most of your worries, but some will simply not let you be in peace.
English is not my native language, so please don't be too harsh with me ^^;
Will contain sensitive subjects! Anxiety, depression/depressive thoughts, suicidal thoughts, life risking actions, loosing the will to live etc. If you find any of these subjects sensitive, PLEASE STOP READING.
No schedule on when the updates will appear, I'll simply update the story whenever I'll feel inspired. I want this story to be good, not an half-assed story.
Have you ever met someone who alters the course
of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad
you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this.
*** TRIGGER WARNING***
SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have.
The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late?
PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
