This Is How It Works, Nicole [phonics readers txt] 📗

Preface:

I was stuck. Like literally, stuck between 2 hot guys who loved me so much, they couldn’t sacrifice my happiness and let me choose who I wanted to be with. I loved how they didn’t want to lose me and all, but this was getting way over hand. I wanted a way out, a way to stop this all, to end this.

Love and reality were 2 different things. Love was full of romance, full of 2 people who would spend their time with each other on every waking moment.
Reality was the real thing, the real life… It was filled with many difficulties in life. I absolutely hated reality.

I looked between the boys. This was hopeless. How did I end up this way? I was an unpopular lonely girl who hid in corners and had about only 5 friends, but now I’m the all time popular girl in school who was always talked about. The guys would always drool about me and the girls would always gush when I set my eyes on them for a moment.

My life has changed so much ever since I started hanging out with Rebecca.

Is there even one way to get rid of this horrible disaster?

Prologue:

Have you ever thought of life like it was a road to happiness and joy, where there were only a few bad things that happened?

I really wished that life was something easy, but I knew that it wasn’t. It was something worse than heaven and much more, worse than hell. Although, hell is one place where horrible people go, at least you didn’t have to face the death of your loved once or losing the best relationship you ever had so far. I faced through a lot of pain in my life and by the age of 14, I learned that there was absolutely no way that I could change how life was.

I’m Darien Jones and I experienced deaths, relationships (that always ended up horrible and miserable at the end), embarrassment and even trying to kill myself. It feels horrible when I try committing suicide. But I knew that even if I try I can’t. I fell off a cliff, almost cut off my hand and even got beat up by a bunch of girls at a bar. But I managed to live. You might be thinking I’m lucky, but when you see what my life is like, you wouldn’t be thinking like that anymore.

This is life, where you live for as long as you can. It’s filled with many disasters, but always has some sort of happiness in it.

This is how it works.
