Darkness

Nikole was being surrounded when suddenly she heard a knock at her bedroom door. Startled she gave approval to the visitor to enter. Her mother walked in and asked if she wanted dinner Nikole declined and her mother left the room. Once again the darkness was coming closer. Telling Nikole she was a waste of space and that she was annoying and fat. Nikole now starved and did exercise every chance she got. Everyone claimed she was skinny also said she was too skinny. Nikole ate two days a week. No more no less. The darkness continued to mock her and bully her. She tried so hard to keep calm and not tell a soul about herself loathing problem. So far this plan to not tell anyone was going good but people still noticed.

Every day for a year the Voices slashed at her with their 'jokes' and insults. Nikole couldn't take this hatred and horrible words. She tried to kill herself multiple times. She tried to hang herself but she couldn't get the chair to fall. She tried to slit her throat but she didn't have any knives sharp enough. Overdosing was out of the question since she had no clue about drugs or alcohol. She decided to run away. Save up money take a cab or a plane somewhere far. She was hurting her family and she knew it so she thought she would help by staying away. Far away.

A month and a half later she had saved up $413. She asked for some money from some friends which raised her total to $446. While she was walking to the store she found a wallet with at least $200. Awesome she thought. Now she had $637. She waited a little while longer for her birthday. On her birthday she got around $500 in cash from her grandparents in England. After her birthday bash she told her friends goodbye and that night everything changed.
