Tears of the Forgotten (Not Completed)

Hayley Rodriguez- A rebel. Girls fear or envy her. Guys cat-call her, ask her out, harass her, etc. Her life was fun, until that night, until that guy.

Ethan Clark- A bad boy. Every girl has a crush on him, every guy wants to be on his good side. But does anybody know him? Like really know him? Do they know his past, his emotions?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Man or Bear' they ask.

I always choose the fucking bear.

The bear doesn't leave you, broken and bleeding, after what the did. The bear doesn't leave you to suffer with the trauma, the PTSD, the sadness, the fear, the nightmares. The bear kills you. And that would've been much better than what the man did. The devil.

Now, I'm drowning, and I can't see the surface this time. I hear people yelling, trying to help, but I can't make it back up. Their voices are muffled. I'm not sure I want to be helped.

So much has happened this year, I won't tell you just yet though. You'll find out soon enough.
