The Lonely

The Author sits at her desk, crying. She lifts her head slowly and begins typing something. In the background, you hear piano music starting.



"2 AM, where do I begin? Crying off my face again, the silent sounds of lonliness, wants to follow me to bed..."

The Author walks out the door of the study, singing this and slides down the banister.

"I'm a ghost, of a girl, that I want to be most. In the shell, of a girl that I used to know well...!"

The Author passes the fonts in the hallway, leading down to the locked off door named Ideas and Creativity, singing:

"Dancing slowly in an empty room, can the lonely take the place of you..? I sing myself a quiet lullaby, let you go and let the lonely in.. to take me heart again..."

The Author reaches the door.

"Too afraid, to go inside.. for the pain of one more loveless night. Cause the loneliness will stay with me, and hold me till I fall asleep..."

The Author moves away from the door and pretends to waltz into the library. Her dancing causes such a stir that loose papers fly up.

"Dancing slowly in an empty room, can the lonelytake the place of you..? I sing myself a quiet lullaby, let you go and let the lonely in.. to take me heart again..."

The Author exits the library and passes pictures on the wall. At one point, you see a picture of her and several characters from her stories.

"Broken peices of... a barely breathing story... where there once was love..." -At this point, the characters dissapear, leaving only The Author- "Now there's only me... and the lonely....!"

The Author dances into the ballroom, spinning around and around.

"Dancing slowly in an empty room, can the lonelytake the place of you..? I sing myself a quiet lullaby, let you go and let the lonely in.. to take me heart again..."

At the end of the notes, the fonts come in and wrap their arms around the Author.

Guys, the message of this story is, if you think you're alone in this world... you're not. You're friends and family care deeply for you, and it would break their hearts to see you hurt. This is a message from me to everyone who's bullied and cyberbullied.

You're not alone.
