Into The Unknown

Chapter One: Living

Online. Such a powerful thing it is. It's intricacy and diversity is what makes it so powerful.

People around the world uses it for various reasons, such as checking the news or seeing what the latest trend is or seeing what's going on in the world.

Most people, like what my friends have done, tend to use it to connect to others around the world. Coming together and learning about each other.

This was the case for me and my friends.

My friends made a group chat, adding people they meet online to with the intention of connecting with new people and learn about other cultures.

I sought to this idea for different reasons though..

Lately I've been having strange headaches, and been feeling like my world isn't even my world.

Having moments of deja vu, while a voice keeps speaking to me even though no one's around.

Have I been possessed?

I don't honestly know, but what I do know is that this group chat that I've been associating with has made me forget every single one of my problems.

"You said you'd never leave me, please come back to me"

Once again something else this voice has said to me that I have no clue what it means.

I wish I knew what this voice was saying to me..

So many questions I have, but I know I'll never get an answer. Although I wish this voice would stop, it's also the same thing that stopped me from attempting something I regret even thinking about...

So this voice, whosever voice it is, is the very reason I'm still alive..

It's also half the reason I'm involved with this group chat too, to find someone with the same voice.

Who are you? Who owns this voice? Why are you bothering me?

All these questions pop into my mind, driving me to a motion like I'm dizzy..

Bing!

Oh, I got a notification from the group chat. I hurriedly checked it and saw the boys were jumping online to play a game.

3 hours later...

"Alrighty my friend, chat with you tomorrow", is what I say before logging off for the night.

I'm pretty happy from that, it was a lot of fun.

I quickly check the time, "oh it's only 11:27, perfect time to sleep, 20th of october 2020."

20th of october already, times really gone fast.

Exactly 1 month after our break up...

It's been 1 month already since me and my ex partner broke up causing my first heart break, which surprisingly in my 17 years I hadn't experienced yet.

That moment from that night still replays in my head every chance it gets. Constantly reminding me of what'd happened.

And I'm glad I could get out of the dark path the heartbreak almost lead me to...

1 month ago...

Today felt really odd for me, I had a gut feeling something was going to happen tonight. But I don't know who it involves or why I'm exactly feeling this..

I look over at my girlfriend, and she's just chatting with her friends. I don't think it could involve her..

Me and Sasha have been dating for about 5 months now and have known each other for a year, we've had some ups and downs but she said she'll always be with me..

So we held onto each other through everything that life would throw at us, we're so happy right now..

I look at the boys though and they too are happy..

What is this gut feeling I'm feeling?

I check the time and lunchtimes almost over..

1:36pm

I wonder what's going on..

"Be careful idiot, you'll get hurt"

Wait, where did that voice come from??

I look around and no one is close by me..

I don't recognise that voice yet my heart's pounding softly from hearing it..

Who are you?

I'm so spaced out I jump when I feel a tap on my shoulder, "silly it's me Sasha, the bell rang you gotta go to class."

Why did my heart turn hearing her voice?

I don't have a good feeling at all..

4 hours later..

I'm still waiting, this is normally the time Sasha would call me. What's going on?

I sat there, all lonely on my bed as I stare at my blank phone screen.

I feel myself slowly falling asleep as I feel my phone vibrate and the screen blare on.

There she is.

I answer the call and I feel a terrible vibe coming from her..

"What's up Sasha? I've been waiting for you."

"I wanna break up...."
