True フレンズ Mend a Broken ハート, 心 Final Part

posted by Peaceandlove67

It was close to Christmas, and Laura was able to go ホーム to spend time with her family. Once at home, she told her parents about her friends, Ian and Mel. Laura's parents were glad to know she made such good friends. Later, Laura's mother asked, "Did あなた hear what happened to Kurt?" Laura said, "No." Her father said, "He was killed in a car crash a few weeks ago." A few months ago, Laura would have been filled with sorrow. She didn't feel sorrow. She didn't feel glad. She felt nothing. Her mother asked, "Aren't あなた sad to know that?" Laura said, "Actually, I don't feel anything. He dumped me for a girl named Natalie a few months ago." Her father said, "I wondered why あなた stopped talking about him when あなた called and talked with us." She said, "I was shocked and upset at first. Ian and Mel helped me through." Once she returned to school the following January, Laura told her フレンズ about Kurt's fate. Ian said, "Karma has a way to coming back to you." Mel said, "That's right. It serves him right after what he did to you." Laura said, "I'm glad あなた helped me get over him. Thanks for that." Mel said, "You're welcome." Ian said, "What are フレンズ for?" The trio embraced and headed to their class together.

80smusiclover1 What another beautiful ending! That car crash certainly served Kurt right after what he did to Laura.

BingoPB This was a good ending. Another job well done, my friend.

Peaceandlove67 I'm glad you two liked it.

Rubyrings If all Kurt had done was break up with Laura, I wouldn't think he deserved to die. But he was so callous about it, he sneered at her for self-harm, he dismissively insulted every single person who makes music on the planet, and basically didn't care at all about anyone else's feelings - I'd say justice was served. Congratulations on another satisfying ending to another great story! And let's hope both Laura and Natalie choose someone better next time.

Roldan13 Yes. Laura definitely deserves better.

RetroRock64 Yes, she does.

Peaceandlove67 Thank you all for your comments. I deeply appreciate my fans.

It was December 9, 2010, Erin's fourteenth birthday. She was sitting on the back porch with her collie, Rusty. Although she was excited about her フレンズ coming over to celebrate her birthday, she also felt a bit sad. She always felt some sadness on her birthday and on holidays, because her mother wasn't there. Her mother had died almost two years 前 of myocarditis. Since then, she and her older brother, Daniel, live with their aunt and uncle and their cousin, Barbara Ann. A few moments later, her grandmother came out. She asked, "Erin, what are あなた doing out here によって yourself?" Erin replied,...

I woke up to a thumping sound. I asked, "What was that?" Paul said, "I'd say it was a car door being shut. I think my parents are back." I said, "I see." I heard the front door open. I then heard a woman's voice say, "Paul, we're back. Where are you?" Paul replied, "In here, Mother." She came into the living room. When she saw me, she asked, "Who is this?" He said, "This is my friend, Erin." She said, "So, you're Erin. Paul talks about あなた all the time." I said, "Good things, I hope." Paul said, "All good!" His mother smiled. She asked, "When was the last time あなた had something to eat?" I said,...

The 次日 at 3:30, I met Grandpa at Eagle River. He said, "You wanted to see me." I said, "Yes, Grandpa, I did." He asked, "Have あなた come to terms with your sins, Erin?" I said, "That's what I wanted to talk to あなた about." He looked at me curiously. I continued, "You see, I don't appreciate your hypocrisy. あなた claim to be a Christian. I distinctly remember 読書 somewhere that the Bible says, 'Thou shalt not kill.' However, あなた have murdered my father and my friend, Barry. Why, Grandpa? Why?!" Grandpa replied, "Your father was an atheist. I decided to send him straight to Hell." I said,...

One day, I was walking in the forest with Allie and Paul. As we were walking, I saw a truck. I said, "Quick! Hide in the bushes!" Allie said, "What? Why?" I said, "I'll explain later." We hid in the bushes until there was no sign of the truck. Paul asked, "Why were we hiding? Who was that?" I said, "My grandfather." Allie said, "Oh..." I said, "I haven't seen him in so long. I'm afraid he'll beat me again." Allie said, "I see." I said, "And あなた know what he did to Barry and to my father. I don't want him to do the same thing to あなた two." Paul said, "Erin..." I said, "I 愛あなた too much to...

One day, I woke up thinking it was a Saturday. I went back to sleep, but my aunt woke me up. She said, "Erin, it's time to get up." I asked, "Why do I need to get up so early on a Saturday?" She said, "You're a 日 off. It's Friday, dear." I groaned. She said, "Come on, Erin. It's not that bad." I said, "I don't have any friends. It's not worth it." She said, "Maybe today will be your lucky day." That gave me the strength to get out of bed. Later in gym class, I was bullied again. I pretended that I needed to use the restroom so that I could cry. I hid in the stall and cried. A few moments...

After losing my best friend, Barry, I slipped into a depression. My grandparents refused to see me. My less consistent フレンズ turned their backs on me. The only ones there for me were my aunt and uncle, my brother, Daniel, and my cousin, Barbara Ann. I had very little, if any, self-confidence. I didn't even try to confront Grandpa again, fearing he would beat me again. The only thing that brought me any happiness was music. I still enjoyed the Beatles above all others, but I liked to explore different bands as well. I overheard someone talking about a metal band called System of a Down, so...

A few months passed, and I was still suspicious of Grandpa. He continued to give out hints that he probably murdered my father when I was really young. Grandma never spoke to me, unless I spoke to her. When I asked her about my father, she dodged the 質問 and changed the subject. Either she was involved, または she was trying to protect Grandpa. One cold December day, I was walking in the forest with my dog. I suddenly heard someone faintly say my name. I looked over and saw Barry. He was lying in the snow, shivering. I said, "Oh, my God! Barry! What happened?!" He 発言しました weakly, "I was walking...

Despite the fact that I no longer had Christian faith, I still went to church to amuse my grandparents. I said, "I don't believe in their ways anymore." My aunt said, "I know, Erin. This is to amuse Grandma and Grandpa. It makes them happy." I said, "All right, but here's a warning. Someday, I'm going to get tired of smiling and nodding." One day, I did. Because of my opinionated 回答 to Grandma's 質問 in Sunday School, I got kicked out of Sunday School. When Grandpa found out, I knew I was in trouble. After lunch that Sunday, Grandpa 発言しました to me, "Let's go outside." That never meant...

Ever since I had ロスト my mother, 音楽 helped me cope. I didn't have very many フレンズ at school. I got bullied a lot, and もっと見る so after my mother's death. The only consistent friend I had was my best friend, Barry. He was there for me during the funeral and everything. One day, he said, "Well, it's been two months, hasn't it?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "I know it's been painful and difficult for you." I said, "Yeah, I miss my mother very much, but I'm doing okay." He said, "I can't imagine what that's like, but if あなた need to talk, I'm here." I said, "Thanks, Barry." Even my フレンズ in Sunday...

One day, I noticed that my mother wasn't 芝居 right. She was very pale and seemed lethargic. She also had a terrible cough. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was later put in the hospital. The doctor 発言しました that things weren't looking good. It wasn't pneumonia; it was much worse. It was myocarditis. Suddenly, it happened. Her ハート, 心 stopped beating. The doctor tried to revive her, but to no avail. I still remember the chilling words like they were 発言しました yesterday: "Time of death: 11:32 pm." I did not want to believe I had ロスト my mother. At first, I blamed the doctor...

"God is a concept によって which we measure our pain." I didn't always know または agree with this lyric from John Lennon's song, "God". However, I came to that point によって the time I was twenty years old. I am one of the dissenters in the Bible Belt, but I wasn't always a, I guess あなた could say, rebel. When I was much younger, things were different, but seeing hypocrisy and hatred from Christians and unfortunate circumstances in my life changed everything. This is my story. I was born in 1996. Growing up in the Bible Belt, I was raised a Christian, particularly, a Baptist. I grew up without a father, but...

I was beginning to lose hope in the idea of finding a friend. One day, something amazing happened. I saw that I was getting new neighbors. I saw a kid there who appeared to be around my age. I decided to go over and talk to him. I said, "Hi, I'm Winter. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi, Winter. I'm George. It's nice to meet you, too." I noticed he had a bit of an accent. I said, "That's a nice accent あなた have there." He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yes." Another Beatles fan! I knew we would get along! I talked with him for a little...

I was always told that the 秒日 of school is never as bad as the first. It's true. My 秒日 of school wasn't as bad as the first. It was worse. One of the bullies poured some water on the floor just to watch me fall. I wasn't hurt, not physically anyway. What did I do to deserve that? I don't know. When I was walking to the bus, some of the other kids threw rocks at me. It really hurt. I came ホーム crying. I had some cuts and bruises, but I was okay physically. Emotionally, I was the opposite. My aunt said, "Winter, try to see the good side. You're not hurt too badly. I'm sure you'll...

Moving to Tennessee was bittersweet for me. I was closer to family members, but it was also a big adjustment. I lived in Illinois for the first twelve years of my life. When I started school, I tried to make some friends. A group of kids invited me to sit with them during lunch. "Hooray! New friends!" I thought to myself. I introduced myself. I talked about being from Illinois. To my surprise, they did not make fun of my accent. One of them explained, "You have that there Midwestern accent. It's the accent that doesn't offend nobody. That's why most of them newscasters are Midwestern." I said,...

When I had entered the fifth grade, I was dreading it. I had heard rumors that the teacher was really mean. When I met her before school started, she seemed really nice. On the first 日 of school, I was wearing one of my Beatles t-shirts. She noticed it, and she said, "Darling, I 愛あなた already!" I said, "Okay, then." She would take up for me all the time. The other kids often called me glasses. She heard them and said, "She has a name, guys. Her name is not glasses. It's Winter." There was one 日 when another girl kept picking on me. I finally had enough and said, "I might look sweet and innocent, but that shit is for suckers, and I'm no lollipop." I looked at the teacher. She winked and said, "I heard nothing." I would have had her for the sixth grade, too, but unfortunately, I moved to Tennessee as soon as the school 年 was over. We both cried. We promised to keep in touch with each other, and we've kept in touch to this day.

When I got a little older, the mean nicknames started to fly. In the third grade, I got called chicken legs a lot. I don't know why. Chickens don't have long legs like mine, the last time I checked. Every time I'd walk through the hallways, someone would shout, "There goes chicken legs." I would remind them, "My name is not chicken legs. It's Winter." によって the time spring came, I was so tired of being called chicken legs. One day, one of my classmates said, "Hey, chicken legs!" I said, "That's better than what あなた are." He said, "Oh, really? What am I?" I said, "You're a horse's ass." He didn't...

I was once asked, "If あなた could compare yourself to a literary character, who do あなた think you'd be?" I 発言しました that I see myself as the Ugly Duckling. I started out as a complete outcast, and I blossomed into a beautiful swan. This is a metaphor, of course. This is how my story goes. I was raised によって my aunt and uncle. I never really knew my parents, as I ロスト them at a young age. I was lucky that they took me in. If not for them, I would have been dumped in a orphanage. I knew that they loved me, but getting everyone else to like me was harder. The other kids picked on me all the time. I don't...

Today was the last full 日 of school. We had our annual awards ceremony today. Some of my フレンズ got awards for highest average in certain subjects. I didn't expect to get one. I wouldn't have minded if I didn't. But I did! I got the Model Citizen Award. Apparently, many of my fellow students 発言しました some good things about me. After school, I told John about it. He wanted to come, but he was out of town preparing for a コンサート with his band. He said, "I'm happy for you, Grace! あなた deserve it." I said, "Really?" He said, "Yes, really. When I picked あなた up from school, I met some of...

Today was Good Friday. We got a 日 off from school. I was walking down the 通り, ストリート with John, and I saw Kimberly, the girl who betrayed me. I kept my head down, hoping she wouldn't notice me, but she did. She said, "Hey, Grace!" I said, "Hey, Judas!" John said, "Oh, so, that's the girl who stabbed あなた in the back." I nodded. She said, "You're not still sore at me, are you, Grace?" I said, "I forgive, but I never forget." Suddenly, John stuck it to her. He said, "How dare あなた do this thing to Grace! She had been nothing but nice to her, and あなた took her ハート, 心 and ripped it into...

I'm all better now. I can speak clearly. I am caught up with my school work. I talked with John today. He said, "I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm actually sick myself." I said, "Oh, no! What's wrong?" He said, "It's just a cold. I'm sure I'll be fine in a few days." I said, "I hope あなた feel better." He said, "Thank you. The worst part is not being able to go to the recording studio with my mates. I hate that I can't do that. They told me that they won't go if I don't. I said, 'No, it's fine. I'll introduce my songs when I come back.' Allen said, 'Take care of yourself, John....
