Stones in her pocket.

Chapter one:(the bottom)

She laid down at the cold floor,thoughts in her mind.wondering if this really was the best for or not.Was the life she was living good enough?"she thought.
Outside through her window ,to which the amazing blue curtain hung,she could hear laughter from outside.Couples passing through each with there own melodies.She wished it were her outside there ,but as it is ,;"if wishes were horses ,then beggars would ride on.She pulled her knees up,single wasn't the title she chose,but a boundary that she chose.And boundaries are lonely before they are freeing.
Since the day she joined campus ,she had always remembered what her mother had always told her.:"

"Campus is no joke my daughter,focus only on education and all shall be well."

Not because her mother was too harsher on her ,but because she knew what was there.

Hope ,which was her name ,had only one one friend and that was her book.
As she tossed around the cold floor,she noticed her Bible on the stool next to her bed. She reached out to her Bible.That was the only thing that kept her her going .The green cover Bible she had always had since highschool.There laid God's promises for her future.

She looked closely at the Bible,she could feel the presence of God in her.She opened her Bible to the book of Psalms,that was her favourite book in the Bible.She opened to Psalms 37:4.
She felt the softness of the pages.The fingerprints in the margins from a 17-year -old who used to underline every word that spoke about God's promises for her future.

Their comes Psalms 37:4

"Delight in the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Yes Hope read it twice.then a third.
Yes .delight.not perform .not beg.not panic about campus relationships.
Delight was the word.still lying on the cold floors ,telling herself.
"You are enough,God."

*The three stones*

Hatred scoffed hard in her chest.
"Delight?while you are here lonely."

Fear nodded hard.

But love held the green Bible to her chest and held it like an armor.

Hope slept through it all.

*Chapter two*(a day at campus)
Hope woke up ,to the cold floor,the floor that had kept her promise of staying alive.Her Bible still clinging to her chest.She took her Bible ,knelt down and muttered a few words to her creator before she headed to the kitchen.The kitchen light flicked as it knew their was gonna be a fight.

On the table:one mug,steam rising.But their were ,three voices talking.

Love ,poured the tea gently:
"Good morning hope,you did good last night "

Hatred,slammed the spoon down
"look now ,saying no to relationships,now she is alone with dust."

Fear,whispered down the corner,voice like thin milk.

"You better not look out,the couple's are walking again.."

Good of course ,she responded to love.Hatred was there anxiously waiting to hear what hope would say to her.

She choose the correct thing in her way Although she stayed no to the handsome prince charming at the campus.She knew this would still follow her.
Jack was always stubborn.He had been following her since year one ,but hope always refused.

She took her bread and tea ,as she prepared to start another day in campus.

Just as she was leaving ,she heard a knock at the door.

*Who could that be?"she thought.

Fear joined in the part.

"Well what if it's Jack ,well better be not."
