Fiction On Odyssey: You Must See

In This Article:

We follow Jeremy on this journey of her trying to understand why she ended up where she is and why everyone has turned against her when all she was trying to do was keep her family intact. But Jeremy may have taken things a little too far, will she be able to convince them to see?

You Must See

(An Asylum room. JEREMY is alone.

She is sitting in front of a mirror.)

JEREMY

You are not a monster. You are not crazy. Yes, you may be a bit… a bit different, but you are just like them. Right? Just human? Someone who makes mistakes, not perfect. Isn't that what really makes a human? Their flaws… their fuck ups? If one doesn't make mistakes, then that's not a human being?

So, if that's the case, then why do they treat me like this? So, my mistake is a bit different from theirs and they think its okay to throw me in the looney bin? No, that's not fair. That's not right. I messed up I know, but was it really that serious? I was pushed.

No one ever sees what happens before, they just see the aftermath. They just see you with the knife in your hand… they just see you standing over a body. They didn't see what brought you to that point. I did what I had to do, I did what needed to be done.I did what they wouldn't!

They didn't understand you… they don't understand you. That's why they fear you. She was wrong for him and they all knew it, even he knew it. But he would never have the guts to get rid of her, she was going to ruin him. So yeah, I took matters into my own hands.

Why is that so wrong? What I did was for family, I looked out for MY family! She wasn't mom… she could never replace her and I wasn't going to let her. He was going to let her and I couldn't let that happen. She was poison to my family, she was killing us from the inside out.

We were doing fine before she came into the picture. Why did he to bring her into my family? This is his fault! Not mine! I'm in here because of his stupid mistake! She needed to be gone. I had a mission to accomplish and I did it. They tell me I'm a monster for what I did, I think I'm just someone who doesn't mind doing… what needs to be done.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
