For Every Life There is a Story

Gone and Forgotten - version 1 - Part 2

(Ally)

White. Everywhere I look. I don't know how long it has been since I woke up in this strange place with a mysterious piece of paper that I don't remember putting in my pocket. It only had one confusing and somewhat terrifying sentence neatly typed across the center.

You have been banned from existence.

I don't know what it means, but I don't think I want to. My feet create an echo on the hard white floors as I walk around the white abyss. Trying to find anything that is not the bright color, lit from an unknown source.

"Parker?" I try to scream but it only comes out as a squeak.

I frantically run further, although it does not feel like I am going anywhere. At some point I stopped, gave up. I clench my fist, crumpling the piece of paper in my hands.

I already miss him.

And I don't even know where I am.

Or how to get back.

( Parker)

Every day passes, and I don't know who she is. I don't remember anything about her, only that I need her. The past month has been lonely. Filled with no sleep.

As I walk alone down the street that seems darker than usual. I try to remember her. Her face, her laugh, anything. But it's like she was just ripped away, and left no mark on the world except for me. I tried asking my parents about her. I tried asking my friends, but everyone told me the same things:

"It was just a dream." or "She's just in your head."

But I know she's real. I know it.

I look up at the fountain, it's crystal water flowing through the stones. Something pulls at me, and I start walking towards it. I absentmindedly place my hand on the cool stone, and a voice, almost like a memory, plays in my head.

"I love you" A girl's voice says, and I know it's her.

"I love you too, Ally." A boy's voice says, my voice.

"Ally." I whisper out loud. "That's her name."

A warm feeling spreads through my chest. A feeling that seems foriegn but so familiar. I search my mind again, and it's like I know her a little more. A blurry image of her smile, a faint idea of her laugh. I smile at myself, or maybe at her. Ally. Her name is Ally.

(Ally)

"Ally." I hear an echo through the abyss. "That's her name."

I already know who the voice belongs too. "Parker!" I yell.

"Par-" But I am cut off, the ground beneath me violently shakes. A small piece of paper drifts from the ceiling.

You have been remembered.

He remembers me. The ground shakes again. This time it is so hard that I fall to my knees. The relief I felt moments earlier is overwhelmed by fear. A large crack begins to travel down the while walls, through it I can almost see a familiar place. The ground shakes again, and again, each time more violent than the last. I curl up into a ball, covering my ears, the rumbling still coming through my closed fingers.

And then all at once.

It stops.

And I'm back in the alley, my pants covered in mucky water. I immediately regain my feet and burst out into the busy street.

"Parker!" I scream. "Parker!"

People give me strange looks as I desperately try to find him. I weave through the crowd of people, my brain not knowing where I'm going, but my feet keep carrying me, and I know they are carrying me to him.

"Parker!"

(Parker)

"Parker!" I hear a girl's scream echo through the park.

Ally. It's Ally. and I scream her name.

I'm pushing through the crowd.

I'm following her voice.

I'm calling her name.

Each step I take I know I'm closer.

"Ally!" I scream.

"Parker!" She yells back.

And I pause. And so does she. Through the crowd I see her. People walking past us, in their own worlds, when my world is standing right in front of me. I finally see her smile. The one I've been trying so hard to picture in my own mind.

And as she comes closer.

And as we finally kiss.

I swear never to forget it again.  

The End
