The Girl In Black.
The girl in black, black as her soul..couldn’t imagine herself in colour, she see everything in black and white, no colours around her…her hair black as night, her eyes black as an omen, makeup as black as can be.
Her house is the only black house, her room is all black..she wishes to be seen for whom she really is, not for what they see, not a day goes by that she wishes to have one friend who can accept her for who she is, especially her love for black, everyone avoided her, called her edgy or the devils offspring, even emo sometimes. She couldn’t escape all the colourful yet horrible people, colour is supposed to make you feel good…but then why does she feel so bad when the colourful people say these nasty things.
One day, she had enough, enough of her parents not understanding why their beautiful daughter wanted to look this way, she had enough with school and the colourful people who bullied her. She skipped school, she cried black tears, and wished so much to be different, she wrote a letter to her colourful parents, she wrote “Hi mum & dad, I am sorry for the upset and disappointment I have brought onto this family, I wish I wasn’t this way, I wish I was the beautiful daughter you wanted me to be. I am sorry that you couldn’t have the daughter you always dreamed of, please try to forget about me. Love, Girl in black x”
She left her note in a black envelope and placed the envelope on her parents bed, she picked up her black diary, and her favourite black pen, she wrote how she wanted to be as colourful and free as all around her. she closed her diary and put her black converses on and left her black house, she was walking with her head down, she wondered if anyone would notice she’s gone, would her parents even realise, will they even read the note.
It started to rain, and the wind picked up, it somewhat made her feel happier, she walked up to a very big bridge, and climbed over the railings and pondered if this was the end of time for her. As she was pondering all these insane thoughts she heard a voice right next to her, she heard “You are pure beauty, you are you, if you jump I must jump” the girl in black thought this was her inner self talking to her, until she felt a hand wrapped around her arm. She opened her eyes, turned her head and foresee a boy all in white.
She had no words, stunned in fact. “Are you wanting to escape the colourful people too?” Said the boy in white. The girl in black couldn’t believe her eyes and her ears, “Y-yes, I just want to be free from this hell, I have no friends, and I want to make my parents happy, they deserve a daughter who is truly happy, and beautiful!” said the girl in black. “Why you are beautiful” he said to her, “not like this, I look like a mess all the time” she said back to him.
“You’re beautiful, for you’re all in black, and I am all in white”
That same day she did not commit suicide, she spent time with this boy in white, they became best friends. He was all she was looking for in life, and she was all he had seek’d.
The girl in black was happy with herself, she smiled more, and the colourful people still said things, but each day passed it lessened out, her parents made sure every morning before she went out that she was okay, and not leaving them another note. She did not know she’d have that affect on them..she knew they loved her very much, regardless of what she wore. The boy in white saved her life. He also became a much happier person due to finding the girl in black.
Their names were Yin and Yang.
