Hii, I was wondering if you could take a look at my story.
Storm.
Summary: Something terrible happens to Leila, a beautiful 16 year old Japanese-Canadian girl, that forces her to leave the place she grew up in, Toronto, Ontario (Canada). Her parents decide for her to continue her high school studies in Japan. She hopes to start a new life in Tokyo, and at first, is successfully able to live a normal but boring life for the first time. She wants to forget Toronto and everything that happened there, but one day the encounterance of a group of strangers throws her back into her old memories. While struggling with the painful wound of her past that is reopened, she finds herself tangled up in a messy relationship with one particular member of the group, marking the beginning of a once again, complicated life in her new home, Tokyo.
Teaser: Sometimes Jonathan hurts me so much I feel like I want to just jump over those black ochroid gates surrounding the rooftop and fall into the cement. But if I die and go to hell – a belief I hold certain – Jonathan won’t be there with me. I’d rather live and withstand the pain than be somewhere without Jonathan. Because without him, I experience the absolute absence of sensation.
Here’s a little excerpt:
My mind filled with images, everything before, leading up to, and The Actual Incident. The dire opening upon my chest I so carefully patched together felt like it was being tear open. The wetness in the corners of my eyes was starting to cloud my whole vision. I knew what was coming next, and I didn't want Jonathan to see it. "No, I can't. I'm sorry." The last word came out a bit unsteady. I hadn't intended it to.
I got up quickly, and a chill ran through my body as the warm mesh quilt slid off my body, puddling around my feet on the ground. I realized I had nothing on but a t-shirt which wasn't even mine and my undergarments. I wanted to question why, but I needed to leave right then before what I knew was going to come next came. I spotted my schoolbag near the door, and ran to pick it up on my way out.
Thanks a million in advance!
