Do you like my story?

The leaves crunched and crackled under my sneakers as I took the shortcut through the woods home. The air smelled of crisp burning leave with that eerie smell of halloween. I could feel the hot burning sensation of tears as they stung my eyes. you are so stupid, you should have known. I couldn’t even find comfort in my own mind anymore. Quickly I wiped the tears from my face, and calmed down before pushing the oak door to the house open. “Hi mom”, I uttered as I walked in the house. She replied with the usual “Hello” and walked out the door to work. Once I was alone I collapsed on my bed. The tears poured out of my face like a fountain. After about a solid hour of crying I forced myself up. My legs and neck felt stiff as my feet hit the cold tile. I staggered my way into the bathroom, the head pounding, hangover sensation after a good cry setting in. I splashed my dull skin with cold water and looked up into the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy from crying and my nose was bruised and swollen. I am like a mirror, with a broken future and shattered past. , I thought. It was clear to me now, that I had only two choices, To end it right now or to tell someone. The first choice seemed like the easy way, the escape route. So I chose my second option.
