I need to get this out...
Peyton. 13 years old. Laughing, joking, having a good time. Right? Wrong. Her smile says she's loving life. But no one notices, no one knows about what goes on when she's alone. Swimming and going to the beach became a distant memory. Summer became unbearably hot. She never wore shorts; always jeans. Never short sleeves or tank tops;always long sleeves and hoodies.
No one knew, no one noticed how much she was drawing away from this world, how much she didnt belong here. Bullied daily, she always longed to be alone.
Beneath her long sleeves and long pants wear cuts...cuts and scars. But no one noticed, and if they did, they didnt care.
Every night there was loud music. Music to hide her pain. Loud enough to drown out her sobs every night. Every night, there was more pain. Pain to mask the emotional pain. Every morning she acted like everything was okay. But it wasnt. The truth was, she was dying inside. She was an outcast, she didnt belong here. She was a mistake. She wasnt suppose to happen; to be here.
So lets rewind, back to the start, 2012, where lives were changed.
10 years old. Sad. She didnt want to be here. Bullied every day. Nothing to mask her pain. Nothing. Lost and confused. Unwanted. A mistake. She hid it well..she had to. No one noticed. What was the use of not keeping it inside if no one noticed or cared?
One day...She made a choice. A choice where 2 worlds collided. A choice that would change her life...forever.
Lucy. 15 years old. Short, skinny and in pain. Unbearable pain. Every step she took hurt. No one cared. hated life everyday. More everyday. Lost the will to live. Became duller each day..Until that one day. That day where she changed someones life. Where her life changed.
May 5th 2012. The day lives were saved. The day where the two worlds collided.
A trailer pulled into the yard. She ran to open the gate. A girl, about 20, lead a horse out. The mare was obviously scared. Peyton opened the gate as the girl lead the mare in. The mare ran to the other side of the pen, where she stood watching everyone wearily. She was limping. It started pouring rain and everyone went inside. Everyone but Peyton. She sat on the fence, talking softly to the mare. 10 minutes went by. Both the girl and the horse were soaked. She climbed down into the pen, still speaking softly to the mare. The mare, ears forward, took a few, limping, steps forwards. Peyton stopped walking a few feet away and just talked. Talked about her life. About how lost and confused she was. She wasnt aware of the mare by her side until she looked up and the mare nickered softly. Peyton reached her hand out, and stroked the mare's neck, smiling.
The trailer stopped. She kicked out on the trailer. She wanted out. She heard unfamiliar voices. Where was she?! Finally the trailer door opened and her owner got her out. She tried rearing, she was scared. Where was she? This wasnt her home! She saw a girl opening gates and she was taken to a pen. She raced off once she was free. Every step hurt, but she needed to get away from them. It started pouring rain. She felt relieved once everyone went inside. She didnt see the girl, until she started talking. Tense once again, she didnt know what to do. minutes passed. She felt the girl's talking relieving. She saw the girl walk into the pen and stop a few feet away. She got tense. She didnt want anyone by her. The girl started talking again. She relaxed a bit and walked over to the girl. She stood there for a few moments before nickering. The girl looked up and smiled, stroking her neck.
I will be adding more! I have no more motivation...working on this for 2 hours haha.
