The handsome boy saves my life [Completed]

We have come to the end of this short story in the long story that is my life. So you might want to know what happened to me many many months after Adam saved me. Well I am going to tell you now.

I started my own suicide hotline where I got to help people like me overcome the thought of killing themselves.

I became a motivational speaker, first, in my school before I started being invited to other schools in Nigeria, Africa and beyond. I was soon obsessed with helping people that were once like me and people like Amaya.

I also started to take my poetry seriously and I became the first female president of my school's literary organization. After a few months in office my poem in one night won the best poetry in a national competition and I dedicated the award to my friends Amaya and Sofia.

And yes, Adam kept to his promise. He  remained my guide through and through. You cannot begin to imagine how proud he was of me and how proud I am of him. He was exceptional in everything he set his heart to, even in our relationship.

With that being said I would have you know that I am right now walking into the office the school provided for me. My own office. And I am sitting down with a smile on my face. Not only am I eager to conquer the world, but also so anxious to live. I have tall dreams now and I work everyday to achieve them.

Do you know what Adams words to me were when I told him about Pain. He said, "Pain will always come it is inevitable. Remember, whenever Pain demands to be felt you should look it in the eye and ask it to dine with you."

He said that the problem with me was that I tried to run away from it, thereby making him even more powerful. That it was my mind  projecting it onto a determined demon and that I gave it all the power.

In his words he said, "You made Pain more powerful by dwelling in it. You cannot dwell under someone's roof and refuse to obey their orders Lora. You can not hide away from Pain.

Dread it!  Run from it!  It is inevitable. It will find you.  So Why not have a nice meal with it then?"

Thinking about his words now, gave me a sense of hope. Well that was until the landline in my office started ringing.

"Hello am I speaking to Lora."

"Yes you are." I replied. "Talk to me dear. How can I be of help to you?"

The caller exhaled so loud that I could hear him from my side of the phone. He went silent for a few seconds and said, "I want to die."

I gave a wry smile, knowing that this is where all my lessons had led me to; saving lives. He was definitely not going to die, not on my watch!
