This has been in my head a couple of days, then last night it suddenly burst out into my fingers.
At half past eleven
grrrr
If it's all underlined it's cuz it wouldn't take it on notepad for some reason, I can't use word so I had to use works word processor, and last time I used it it was all underlined.
-THE DREAM-
It had started when his mum left. He'd become so withdrawn and unpleasant to be around that when he and his class moved up to secondary school, they all left him. His dad got drunk a lot, and hit him. He got more withdrawn, and forgot how to make friends. He spent his entire school life alone.
Having no friends meant having nothing to do at school but work, and he became the cleverest person in his year. This gave them ammunition against him, and they bullied him mercilessly. He wanted to tell someone, but he was scared. Scared of them not caring. Scared of seeming like a failure. Scared of nothing happening and scared of it stopping and leaving him even more alone.
He'd tried to kill himself more than once, but he was a coward; too afraid of what came after to go through with it.
When he'd finally left school (with all A-stars except for one A which he saw as a personal failure) all he'd wanted was to be alone, and alive.
Then he met her.
She was so pretty, and didn't mind him being quiet. She let him be, and still lived her own life. They were together for 6 months and it was her who convinced him to go jobhunting. He started to heal with her by his side. But then she left and he was left even more broken than before. It wasn't her fault. She didn't understand.
He took an Open University course in science while he busied himself with leaving the house as little as possible.
3 months after she had gone, he had the dream.
-THE DREAM-
