{TPN x Reader} Forever or Never?

{5} Ever fall

Evening came around in a flash.  All of us, kids, stayed in our rooms, playing and chatting amongst ourselves. Waiting for us to be alerted that dinner was ready.

I looked at all the kids sitting at their beds and talking like Anna and Yvette. Or the kids running and playing like Thoma and Lanni.

I stared blankly at the folds and wrinkles that scattered my bed sheet. I could hear the laughing and talking of the other kids that I shared a room with. I clenched my hands on the sheets. I was thinking...but what was I thinking about...it's strange how your in your own head talking to yourself but you don't even know what your even talking or doing in that head of yours....'Emma...Ray...Norman....' my closest friends. Been together since we were born. Norman and Ray were quiet as kids and still are. Emma and I have always been close. Probably cause one. We were the same age. And two. We were both girls.

I'm not going to lie...Emma is amazing...I admire her a lot...she is smart and her energy could make anyone happy...I wonder...what makes me special...I'm certain that if I didn't have my photographic memory, I probably wouldn't be as smart as the other three... 'just what makes me....me?...'

I saw the protected feet of my siblings scurrying towards the door. I pressed my thumb and index finger on the sides of a fold, rubbing it between them. There was no purpose to it...it was just curiosity...would it disintegrate? Or turn to snow?... well that's dumb to think...this isn't a universe with super powers and magic...

Ray P.O.V

I rung the bell signaling Mom and the other kids.

"Dinner preparations are done Mom..." kids then started to fill the hall, making their way to the dining hall. Mom held an attentive look in my direction then put on a 'smile'. "I'm be right there" she said with a 'motherly' voice. I nodded and then headed down. The kids already made it to the dining room and are probably sitting down waiting to be served. I waited for Norman and Emma to come downstairs. To which they did...I eavesdropped on their conversation. They soon entered the dining hall a bit later than the others.

I followed into the room and I looked around, looking and counting every head in the room...the only ones not counted are Mom who said she would be right down...and....Y/... 'wait!...' recounting every head again and again making sure I wasn't overlooking anyone. 'No...Y/N isn't here....where is she?...she is always with the younger kids, keeping an eye on them... she would be the one to tell them to come back or to get up at times...'

I walked out of the dining room, I checked around the corner for her, she wasn't there, not on the stairs either... I walked up the stairs and not around the corner again...

I saw a still opened bedroom door and I  walked into it.

Low and Behold there was the missing child. She was sitting on her bed, staring down at her sheets. She was fiddling with something in her hand, which I couldn't see what. Her eyes seemed to be lulled and it seems she's stuck way deep in her head. Heck, she didn't even notice I walked in. 'This idiot...she's going to miss dinner if she doesn't snap out of it...'

I walked closer to her, so that I was standing next to her sitting figure. I got the bell close to her ear, and rung it. Her eyes widened and her hands went straight to her ears.

'Well that worked!' I internally smirked.

Y/N P.O.V

I heard a loud ringing at my ears that snapped me out of my daze. I shot my hands up to my ears and I whined. "AAH! That Hurt!" I looked to my side of where the ringing sound was most dominant. I saw Ray standing there, his hand that was holding the bell stretched out to my ear. His face was dulled and unamused. "You Jerk!" I shouted at him. His face then slowly grew a conniving smirk, basically something a sadist would wear.
