Althea never thought she would be here.
Happy, laughing and thriving.
But she was and it was all thanks to him.
She would have probably laughed if you had tried to tell her about all the good things that were finally happening in her life. All the good people that cared and loved her. All the good things that she was doing for other people.
But last year she was a suicidal, angry, hurt and isloated.
When Althea had first started dating Sirius, he made her happy, feel special and helped her see the joy in life. She quickly became friends with the Marauders and every girl wanted to be her but that quickly changed.
Sirius cheated on her with Marlene who made her life miserable and he used everything she had told him against her. The Marauders all turned against her, bullied her, resulting in most of the school population turning against her and also bullied her. With everyone turning against her, picking on all her flaws and isolating her, she became suicidal. She began hurting herself until one day she couldn't do it anymore.
She tried to kill herself.
In the Black Lake to be exact.
But something stopped her. A bright light.
A realization that she was worth so much more than what everyone else thought of her.
An understanding that everything is not always going to be okay but that it would get better.
A hope that someone would finally her.
And they did see her. Over the summer, she had become close to Jordan and Genie that were in the same house as her. Her twin brother had stood by her side and helped her with her recovery but the person that stood out the most was Kazz.
Kasper Ryan.
They had meet while she was in the hospital wing after her suicide attempt. He talked to her, despite her not replying. He read his favourite books to her, talked about his life and helped her with her homework. She quickly came to realise that despite him being a Slytherin and had a tough exterior around most people, he could be really sweet and down to earth.
He made her feel special, he made her feel loved but most importantly, he saw her for who she was. Damaged but still so beautiful. He spent everyday reminding her that she was worth it, that she had so much to live for, she had people that cared for her and future that she had yet to decide.
She was loved.
She was worth it.
It hadn't been easy but Althea tried. She tried everyday and she was finally in a better place. A place where she didn't have to hide her true self. A place where she felt safe. A place where she finally had hope.
Everyday was a new day, another day to keep fighting for.
Althea was not going to give up because she wasn't alone anymore.
She was a Phoenix and she had risen from the ashes.
