you knew you weren't normal since you were young. The way you would zone out so fast. The way you had gut-wrenching graphic nightmares every night. The way you couldn't cry. The way your heart raced the second anyone got too close. The way you couldn't eat. The was you couldn't see yourself as anything but ugly, or maybe that's just everyone. You never realized why. But it was trauma.

Matt went to your school. He was a bit popular, he had two triplet brothers nick and Chris. He always saw you sitting alone, shaking, dark circles under your eyes. He always felt bad. But, he was too scared to talk to you. Until today. You two got paired up for a group project. Matt smiled at you and sat next you.

"Hey, I'm matt.."

He said softly.
