He Made Me Stay

The pain is overwhelming.

My life means nothing anymore.

Black. Lonely. A void.

I have an expiration date and the final hour is here.

Until a boy bounces into my dark world.

Too short. Too young looking. Too smiley. Too much hair.

I want to look away because he’s too much. Too much everything.

Bright and bustling with energy.

A train wreck of color.

His name is Kit Strong.

Loud, adorably dorky, and absolutely my type.

In another life, I could love someone like him.

It’s too late, though.

I’m ready to leave.

I’ve already made my decision.

But he wants me to stay.
