Inspired by the song, "Circle" by Flyleaf. :)
"His heart ripped out to show me he loved me, but I wouldn't believe him. He did all that he could, I still would not believe him!"
I sat on the school bench, my head in my hands. The whole world was spinning, and I couldn't keep my balance. My heart was encased in a thick glass of guilt. Nothing I could ever do would change this...
He had told me he loved me.
But he was my best friend; he couldn't feel that way about me. It just wasn't meant to be...
So I'd pushed it off. I'd laughed, and joked around with him about it. He seemed to go along with it, like he had been joking. I knew he'd been kidding. No one could ever feel that way about me.
A while later, he started to change. His smiles were empty, just like his eyes. They didn't have the same reflective glow, and livelyness about them. They seem glazed, and far out there. I'd asked him if he was ok, and he said yes. He was fine. I shouln't worry.
So I didn't.
Days went by, then weeks. He still didn't change back to his happy self. Again, I asked. Still, I should not worry.
Then...on that day...he told me again.
"I love you," he said. I bit my lip. I didn't like this. He was my friend; a brother. Of course I loved him, but not like that...I think.
"Don't. Just...don't," I had said, confused thoughts swirled around my head, making me dizzy. I went home, and laid on my bed, my head aching. The truth was, I did like him. A lot. No other guy was as sweet to me, or understood me as much as he did.
The next morning, I went to school, to confess. Confess my deepest feelings for the man I loved. I couldn't find him. He's probably just running late, I thought. So I went to my locker, where I found a note:
"I loved you. I always will. Without your love, I cannot live. So I won't. It's not your fault. Forgive me."
My heart started racing, and I couldn't think straight. Where was he?! Was he serious?! He had to be joking! I started to hypervanilate, looking everywhere. He had to come to school today! He had to! I called out his name, and people frowned and looked away, afraid to face me. I walked aimlessly down the halls, asking anyone if they'd seen him. None were direct answers.
Then one girl finally told me; his next door neighbor.
"He.. He killed himself last night," she whispered sadly. My heart stopped, and black dots clouded my vision. I burst out the school doors; no one followed me. They understood.
I didn't run for long. I couldn't; my head was hurting too much. Tears ran down my cheek, and froze on my face in the crisp fall air. I stopped at the bench; I had to sit down.
"I'm sorry!" I screamed. "I love you!" A couple frightened birds flew away, and I was alone. I sobbed for a long time. This was all my fault. I held my face in my hands, gasps coming through my teeth. Nothing I could do would change this. I was stuck to live with this guilt forever. Even years from now, I'd be guilty. I killed him.
"I'm so, so, so sorry..." I whispered. "Could you ever forgive me..." It was a rhetorical question. I knew the answer would be no. Why the hell would it be yes? But then, the wind blew, and the fallen leaves scattered around. A leaf flew in my face, and the wind ceased. It fell into my lap, and I looked at it.
The leaf was broken around the edges... Forming the shape of a heart. For a moment, I lost my breath. But then I cleared my head. That was ridiculous. I stood up and left, going anywhere. I had no place in mind. I just wanted to forget this day.
"I believe... What if I believe you now? Forgive me, relieve me, please come back to life..."

Prologue Look at the world, yeah go on and look at it. Now tell me, What do you see? Home? Life? Secrets? Death? Anything? Well most people always see it differently. But they never see what’s right in front of them.
When you look at the world you always see the small things. You never see the big obvious things that lurk in the shadows of every dark corner .
Well some of us see it, others… don’t. You’d be surprised by ever secret, every hidden thing yet to be discovered… or never will.
And I know we shouldn’t be telling you, but you ought to know.
So look at the world, that’s right look at it. Because it’s going to change forever…

Okay this fits to be article worthy. I have this budding idea for a story about a girl named Skye(real named skylar) who discovers that she and her two friends are Sirens ( a different kind than you think). They all have ibdividual powers like Skye can use other peoples power, Hazelle and Gabriel,s powers are conjuring fire and Hazelle can shapeshift objects. Their parents were friends and there dads, and hazelle and gabriel have one parent while skye has none, she lives with her aunt and she has this lost sister who thinks she is a Siren but is their kinds' enemy. Meanwhile Hazelle and Gabriel are dating but skye and him are close because their moms were friends and wjen her parents died she lived with them for a while as kids. So eventually they like each other. This story is confusing and jeeds work but its what i have. Tell me should i tweek it or leave it alone. Also give me insight into what to do to fix it. Thanks.
Falling...
Sometimes she’s down by the river
Or other times by her tree
Sometimes she thinks about the things she can never see
But when the rain falls down, she’d cry
There’s no reason why
She’s always walked alone
No one’s ever shared her ride
No one’s ever felt close to her, no one’s ever by her side
She’s avoided by everyone
And never has any fun
Now darkness is her favourite thing
She thinks there’s no hope
No on ever throws her a rope
When she’s falling…
Sometimes she’s down by the river

No one’s ever felt close to her, no one’s ever by her side
She’s avoided by everyone
And never has any fun
Now darkness is her favourite thing
She thinks there’s no hope
No on ever throws her a rope
When she’s falling…
