Into oblivion

📚

We begin to walk out when something catches my attention outside the glass box. I stop walking altogether and make my way to where a little flash drive is tucked behind a bunch load of monitors on the ground. Each monitor seems to have about 3 screens that are attached to them, all hanging on an old mossy wall for dear life.

"What's wrong?" He asks stopping mid way on the stairs.

I don't answer him as I pick the small thing up into my hand feeling my heart completely stop beating. There's no way, he said he destroyed it so- then....

"Max, a while back did Nicholas ever lose a very important flash drive by any chance?"

"Flash drive? no, why?"

No no please, if I could make one wish right now it would be to erase this part of the story out of my head, out of existence. To make it so that it was never a reality, but wishes aren't real and realities fucking suck.

I plug it in and a password protection pops up, six letters and only three chances.

Think Mia think "Max what word has six letters?"

"Many why?"

"Well I need specifics, something Nicholas would use maybe"

"Mia what's going on?"

"Max please-just think" I can't breathe.

He walks over taking over the computer as he types something in. I don't wait a moment longer when I see it all unlock, Max moves away fast still holding onto that confused look.

I click onto the only document it is has, my heart sinks completely out of place at what's in front of me. Pictures of me fill the screen, these were taken all the way back to when I first met Donte.

Almost everyday of my life is on here.

My room-

Me-

The gym-

The street I liked to walk in-

People I talked to-

Places I thought I could go to be alone-

I click off and onto a chat between someone

Unknown - Fine, when's the due date?

- Chat discontinued -

Everything feels hot. Everything seems to be spinning way too fast and out of my control as if it was all just slipping right through my fingers like sand. Then next thing I know I'm on the floor.

"MIA!" Max yells rushing over, he tries to pull me into him but I can't seem to feel him. I can't seem to feel a single touch of his or the floors. I just want to scream, I want to tear every feeling out of me and run, I want to run and yet I'm on the floor having a panic attack.
