Once More

The broken girl sat on her bed, watching the clock with apathetic eyes. Her sunshine just left her once again, leaving her in the cold darkness, that she truly hated. She could feel her stinging tears of sadness kiss her cheeks as if mocking her for her loneliness and heart ache. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to feel the warmth she wanted to feel once more. But all she felt was coldness. Her arms around her tighten, her nicely manicured black nails dig through her skin, causing warm crimson liquid, to flow. She wanted to scream out her pain but her sobs prevent her from doing so… as if preventing her from releasing her pain. 1

In the fourteen years, she had lived her life, never had she felt this intense pain for loving someone so much. She stood up and went in her bathroom. She stopped when she saw her reflection. She smiled a sad, self-mocking smile. “ Your such a piece of sh*t!” She glared at her reflection. She couldn’t help but look away. She couldn’t help but hate herself. She couldn’t help but cry once again. She sadly caressed her reflection, before shattering it, drawing blood on her fisted right hand. “ Just like my heart” She muttered, laughing bitterly at herself. She then looked up, she saw her reflection scattered into so many little, unrepairable pieces of puzzles, truly just like her heart. Her heart was now broken, shards of it was scattered all over… never knowing when someone would mend them all together. Her knees gave out, letting her weak, slim form sink on the bathroom floor. She crawled in the tub, where she hugged her knees and cried. Crying was the only thing she could do. She was about to fall asleep in the cold metal tub, when she heard her phone ring. She stood up and walk towards her nightstand where her cell phone was currently laying, then she saw who was calling.
“ What do you want?” She asked trying to cover the fact that she was still crying.
“I was just seeing if your doing alright” He said in a carefree manner that seem to hurt her feelings.
“What do you think? Am I doing alright?!” the broken girl exclaimed.
“ I think so, coz I think you got over the fact that we’re over, so …bye now! See you around!” he said, somewhat happy.
“ Fuck You!” She screamed.
“ …” but she heard no reply, he already cut the line.
She sunk on the floor, next to her queen size bed crying, but she immediately stopped when she heard her computer. It was her friend giving her an IM…
“ God… you hate me don’t you, coz I hate you” She muttered before going to her computer to chat with her friend. 2

Kay: Hey! How are ya?
Jaded_emo_lover: I’m good , u?
Kay: So far so good…
Jaded_emo_lover: glad to here…
Kay: well gtg…
Jaded_emo_lover: byebye!3

After chatting with her friend for about an hour, she couldn’t help but give out a heavy sigh. “I’m already on my computer so why not check my mail” She muttered somewhat defeated. After checking all her mail. She plopped herself in her bed finally falling in a deep dreamless sleep. “ I will never love again” She said completely serious. “Hahahahaha!!! That was the most stupid phrase anyone could ever think of” She said smiling. 4

Even when the world may seem to bring her down, even when no one may love her ever again. It seems as though… she could never die… or maybe she always forget about killing herself at the end of it all… Once more.. The broken girl survived the unbearable pain that world had brought her once more.5

    This is a really good story with some very explicit raw emotion though again it seems to change so quickly! I know that it happens like that at times but the transition seems awkward.
    Good work still.

    This piece has emotion shown very well in it. My only problem is the word crimson used to describe blood, that's just a pet-peeve of mine. Good luck in my contest.

    You have an amazing ability to corral emotions and display them in small non-descipt letters

    First I'll give my opinion of this story.

    I think the idea, although typical girl has boy girl loses boy is done and redone, is alright and works from your perspective. You have a good idea and you're running with it.

    Second here is my critique of your story

    You don't describe your main character at all. you give a brief description of her bed but other than that there's nothing. What is she wearing? Is her hair hanging in her face? are her eyes red and puffy from crying.
    The first 2 sentences leave the reader somewhat confused. There's no explaination as to why she's broken.. I would leave 'broken' out build up to it. who is her sunshine? why did it leave?
    i would leave that sentence out ....for example 'The girl sat on her bed watching the clock. She could feel the stinging tears kiss her cheeks as if mocking her. She wrapped her arms around her legs, and pulled them to her chest, as if to hold back feelings of loneliness.
    Watch your wording and the ... is unnecessary in the first paragraph.
    'She stood up and went in her bathroom. She stopped when she saw her reflection. She smiled a sad, self-mocking smile.' these sentences should be combined not fragmented as they are now.
    new paragraph where she insults herself. more fragmented sentences in the second paragraph. try She looked away unable to stop hating herself and she started to cry again.
    the guy seems to think that she's over him... why does he think this ? you don't give anything to give us that impression. just the opposite
    I think you can use other words than broken
    there are ways you can get your point across without using the ... those are distracting when used improperly
    if someone is thinking in your stories don't use quotations use italics in the second last paragraph you use the words "she said" too often.. try losing the last 2 times you say it. it's just being repetitive.

    I'd be interested in reading this when you're done

    Awwwww

    This is so sad! I'm really sorry it's non-fiction though. I love the way you write this, packed full of emotion,and I'm sure it can relate to a lot of people- great write!

    Wonderful

    This truly is so great. You put all your emotion into this story and I can see it. Is this in any way autobiographical? Keep writing!!!!

    Great

    This is great story with a great message at the end. The fact that this is based on real events makes the story even better. I am sorry that you had to go through that but I am glad that you could pull yourself through that and write us this excellent story.

    Nice!!!!!!!!!!

    Things are never as bad as they seem. Life for all its pain is worth living. If you don't think so ask a spouse who had a husband die over here in Iraq. Or the person standing beside him when he die. If you are still not convinced then why am I overhere to put my life on the line for everybody back home.

    I love your beginning line, it automatically makes me think depressing, and i like depressing. God love is such a downer, and an upper at the same time. I hate it yet can't hate it to the extent that i want to hate it. Its sad and explains a good depressed teenage girl's life well already keep up the good work!

    (sigh...)

    tearsofsadness... If I could hug you I would... Use this pain - and this outpouring of it - to divest yourself of the emotions you feel for David. Fourteen gives you so much time. I'm more twice that now, but I remember that special kind of torture you feel when the whole relationship game is fairly new. Allow this piece to be your cathartic release - then delete his number from your cell phone and his ID from your instant messenger.

    Take solace in the fact - I'm being dead serious here - the FACT that there is ALWAYS someone else to love. And plenty of reasons to do so.

    Lick your wounds clean, use them as battle scars and fodder for your work and keep moving forward. You can do it.

    Gypsy

    Oh, and if tearsofjoynot is David, really, grow up kiddo.

    I liked it, actually. I myself have had some bad relationships. One couldn't take anything seriously, another was a womanizer. Both this year. But that's enough of my troubles. Where's this David guy at? This sister'll knock some sense into him! *sighs* Seriously, I can't stand when guys are heartless like that. It just.. ticks me off

    That aside, wonderful write. I like that you portrayed it in third person, even though it was an event in which you were the speaker.

    I hope things get better for you, much better.
