Prompt #3 (Trigger Warning)

Girl overcoming or going through deprresion or truamatic experience.

I'm Laura and 2 years ago I got raped. A month after this happened I got severe depression and started self harming. At one point I even attempted suicide. This happened over the summer but by the time school rolled around everyone knew about it. I became mute so no one would ask me questions about what happened and for that I also got bullied. So for the past two years I've been self harming, getting bullied, and having trust issues and my parents don't even know why. They've supported me but they don't know why I am the way I am. Now to present time, I've been trying to talk to people but that doesn't work out. I don't think I mentioned before that I don't have any friends so I've been practicing with some teachers and my family. A girl started talking to me today at school. She was really pretty and we had every single class together. Despite the fact I didn't talk to her at all, she talked to me a lot. Some months pass and I've been getting really close to Samantha, which I later learned was the girl's name. Today I think I'm gonna try to talk to her because I really trust her. "Hey Laur," Samantha greeted, sitting down in the seat next to me. It took me a couple seconds to answer back but eventually I squeaked out, "Hi Sam." At first she looked like it was normal to hear me talk until she realized it was me. She turned to me and hugged me so tight I almost died. When she let go, she was crying and that's when I had even more bravery to ask a question. "Samantha, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked in almost a whisper. Again it took her time to process but when she did she started crying even more. "Of course I will, Laura!!" This is the best day of my life.

I know and I'm sorry guys. Again my cousin helped me. I don't know what else to say. If you guys need someone to talk to, I'm here btw. Hope you enjoyed and have an amazing day/night. - Xander
