Wednesday

      Gladys rolled over again, trying to find a comfortable position. Her clock read 2:37am. She

couldn't sleep. She was kept awake by the eerie sounds outside and her mind's morbid thoughts.

She had been contemplating cutting for 2 hours now. It would be so much better than feeling

everything else. Gladys reached under her pillow, stroking the cold blade, adrenaline rushing

through her. It was so tempting, it would feel so good. Gladys decided. Just a few cuts, then she

would sleep. Gladys grabbed the knife and sat up. She told herself this was good, it was helpful.

She knew it wasn't true, but when had she ever done anything right?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Gladys couldn't believe it was time for school. She felt like she had just laid down when her

the alarm went off. She slowly rolled off her bed, wincing as her wrists brushed against the bed.

She closed her eyes and told herself it was good. This pain was better than the other pain.

Gladys opened her eyes and looked at the line of red on her wrist. It was a small price to pay.

       She hurriedly got dressed, struggling to find another long sleeve shirt to hide her wrists.

She didn't want anyone to see. Was she ashamed? Gladys looked at her cuts for answers. The

only answer she got was the pain. Gladys sat on her bed and took three deep breaths, just as she had

read online. Apparently breathing helped with panic attacks. Her heart started beating faster and

Gladys started to get scared. Was she dying?

    Gladys stared down at her shaking hands and started to cry. She was not okay.

But then again, had she ever been?

    No! Gladys, no! Where are her so-called frens?

    Ellie, I agree, Gladys needs hugs and someone to tell her she is loved.

    Girl, you got the gift of inflicting sorrow in your readers as well as in your characters. I agree with Rienna and Ellie. Gladys needs hugs and a good friend. Her life seems so bleak.

    Overall, a good post. Keep up the good writing. :)

Just a little while longer....(part 3)

       For the first time in her life, Gladys woke up before her alarm clock. Well, the first time in a really long while...        She got up and unplugged her alarm clock. She wouldn't be needing it today. It was Friday. She  had two hours until she needed to be at the bus stop. She flopped back on her bed and sighed. She  couldn't stop thinking of Josh and his mysteriously handsome friend. She wondered what she  would've done if either of them had talked to her. She would probably say something stupid and be  embarrassed for the rest of her life. Why would he like her? She would only mess it up. He probably already hated her, just like everyone else. She was worthless. No one could ever love her. No one could love someone who is such a whiner. That's why Beverly had left.       Gladys threw on the first clothes she could find and ran outside. The air smelled of rain and she glad...

Just a little while longer.....(part 5)

      It was Saturday night, Gladys had actually acted upon her text and went to the party. Josh and Tyler were there when she walked in and she even got to say hi before they were whisked away by, Julia, who was hosting the party. Julia seemed to be in love with Josh more than anything and couldn't stop sneaking little glances at him.      Gladys couldn't help but get a little jealous, but before she could do anything about it, a tall girl with dyed hair walked up to her. Gladys could recognize that small nervous smile anywhere. Gladys could not breathe. She could not think.        Her head felt fuzzy and her hands went numb. In front of her stood her older sister, Beverly. The sister that had left ten years ago.  The one who had lied when she said "just a little while". The sister who had caused Gladys to have insomnia till she realized her sister was never coming back. That sister stood before her, so ...

Inspired by Sweat

        Tyler tore off the cap of the water bottle and drank the ice cold water greedily. He had been working out for two hours he was thirsty, sweaty, and exhausted. To the left of him, Josh sat on the floor pouring water on his head. His shirt now soaked with a mixture of sweat and water.         Tyler looked at Josh's drenched outfit and couldn't help but chuckle. "What'd you do that for, Josh?" Josh shrugged. "It's hot." Tyler, holding back his laughter, sat down next to him and hummed a tune. "Making a new song?" Josh asked curiously. Tyler lifted a shoulder, "Just an idea, I suppose." Josh nodded. "Well, hopefully, it becomes more than that. I can't wait to play another show." "Yeah, me too," Tyler said, his expression serious. Suddenly, Jenna entered the room. Tyler and Josh watched her as she walked over smirking. "Hey boys." "Hey, Jenna." They said toge...
