I'll write it as a fairy story seen as I'm meant to be practicing for a class anyway :)
Once upon a time there was a young girl who met a man who was magnetic and beautiful. They kissed and there were fireworks. But something about him was...off. And a warning bell sounded in her heart. So, she pulled away and retreated into the crowd. Expecting never to see him again. But one week later, to her surprise - there he was, standing in her hallway.
You see the girl lived in student halls and there was a spare room. Until he moved in. And in her youthful wonder, she thought - 'it must be fate!' This however, is not a happy tale. And what actually followed, was one of the hardest years of her life.
Because although he appeared a bright and shining star to many, in reality, this man (if he can be called such) was a monster. A monster who stole his light from the girl and many others like her. Draining her like a leach and leaving only the gift of a poisoned bite in return.
But the girl found her freedom :) and as years past, she found herself again too. And seven years later, she took a class, a writing class in which she told a tale of the light stealer and his poisoned bite. And there was a round of applause. And she thought, 'there, that chapter is truly over'.
But that night, a dark and all too familiar shadow boarded her train home.
He spoke to her like an old friend (because as we who have seen his kind know, they never acknowledge the sorrow they have caused others). And in a strange way, she was pleased - because she felt nothing for that strange dark thing, no longer with any allure.
But the next week, he was on the train again and although she was able to be civil and to walk away without so much as a backwords glance at her station, she felt pain in her heart. Old pain. Sorrow for the girl he once hurt, who was still in her somewhere deep down. And she knew from what he had said, she would see him again on that train each week until her course came to an end...and she was filled with a cold and sickly dread...
Annnnnnyway lol so basically he will be on that train in future. My course ends when it's time for the last train so I have to catch it :/ I wonder what to expect next. I will try to avoid him obv...but yeah... feels like some sort of twisted fate lol.
Dunno why im posting really, just...such a complicated feeling you know :/ I don't like him but seeing him reminds me of that young kid I was, so desperate for his approval. I'm happy in myself now. I guess I just don't like things that threaten that.
I just hope I can continue to face things with decorum and confidence, even when I don't feel it. And not scream at him 'apologise muthafucka!!!' lol.
Anyone else have some unfortunate fate stories like this?
