The Way She Feels

by selenamasen

Sonny Monroe and Stacie Moreno have been best friends for 10 years and they both have dark secrets that they've hidden from each other. What they didn't know is that they share the same secrets and they have much more in common than they thought.

She had been my best friend ever since I met her when we were both only 7 years old. She stood up for me when I first moved to Wisconsin. I still remember the day, I could see her through the kids that had pushed me in to a corner to taunt me and tease me, to tell me how ugly and fat I was. I only retreated further into the corner, cowering as several kids ripped me to shreds. I was wiping the tears from my eyes when I heard her screaming at them to leave me alone and to get away. When she turned to me a sympathetic look had replaced the anger I knew had plagued her features only a few moments earlier. I only hugged her and thanked her for being so nice, her only reply was "Don't listen to them Stacie, you're beautiful." I don't know how she knew my name, I didn't ask I was just thankful for this angel.

Now we're both 17 and this is the story of how I never knew how much in common I had with my best friend Sonny Monroe.

This is my first story, constructive criticism is welcome. Please don't tell me how horrible it is because I already know, thanks.
