You And Us

In The End

There you were. There i was. I was you. You were me. But different. You had a scar on your left cheek. The right half of your face was burnt. You had a security tag on your right leg. You had pain in your eyes. You were me. I was you.
"We made a deal Kate." You spoke as i realised we had the exact same voice.
"W-what." i replied slowly edging further away from you.

"If i could stop all of the bad things from happening to you this time around you could live the rest of your life without having to have been stabbed in the cheek by a man trying to kidnap us,half of your body wouldn't be burned by the house fire we set off by accident,we wouldn't have got caught up with the evil girl from the hospital and arrested for going along with the crimes she insisted we commit and we wouldn't be stalked by the creepy boy after the party." 

I had no idea how it was possible that i had the chance to relive the past couple of months in order to save myself,but this was beginning to make so much sense as well as no sense at all.
"W..where will you go?" i replied
"I never existed." You replied as you walked away down the stairs. Trying to chase you i tripped and fell hitting my head off the wall.

I woke up and you were gone. That was the last time i ever saw you. Or heard from you. From me? From us? There was no proof of you ever being at any of the locations i saw you at,saw me at.

It's been a year now since. The reason i have only gotten down to writing this now is because it took me a long time to accept. But i get it now. The nurses say this is how i've coped with trauma for the past 2 years. I laugh in there face and say they're silly. They say the scarring and burns are still there and that i'm completely making all of this up. But don't worry i don't believe them i remember you. Us. The mirror lies to me. The nurses lie to me. My parents lie to me.
In the end. It's me who has control over what's real for me and for you. Because i am you. You are me. And the only person you have is me and the only person i have is you.
