6- People Love Differently

MARION VAN DE BERG

~~ he's so out of reach ~~

It had been a couple of painful days at the penthouse. My mum like usual was flaking out on me and my dad. It wasnt anything that we werent used to but it was killing my dad. He startes spending more time in his office only coming put to check up on me. Being a work from home architect was such a lovely thing but my dad was having a tough time. His canvas for project ideas was blank and so was his mind.

I really didnt know how to feel about school starting on Monday. It was a hellhole in the penthouse but im pretty sure that school isnt going to be any different.

Since I didnt have any actual friends left thanks to my lovely mother , i decided to do some research. You know about the guy I kept randomly seeing in my reflection? He could be my soul mate or my destined enemy and its killing me that I dont know which one it is.

I walked into the local library smiling at Ms.Elle. She single handled destroyed all the "old and ugly , going to die alone with her million cats" librarian stereotypes. I wasnt the type to come to study to librarys but an old friend of my loved books so i wasnt a foreigner here. She was probably one of the prettiest librarians i saw. Yes , she was sort of old but wow she was gorgeous. For the first time in my life , i knew someone genuinely happy.

I wish i will look like her when im 50. Her hair was brighter than most of the lights in the room and her smile was seriously her best accessorie.

I walked over to Ms. Elle getting ready to ask her a question that will seem weird to her and probably kind of make her regret becoming a librarian.

'Um hey Ms.Elle... What books should i look in if i want to research universal facts or myths or even... magic?' I said trying to smile. I knew I seemed beyond lonely and desprate but I was trying my best at that point

She just smiled and pointed over to the "MYTHS AND MAGIC" section. I was so blind that I didnt even see that sign that was nearly as big as my head.

I appreciated my brain trying to convience myself that it was myth or some sort of hallucination but I wasnt having it. Even hallucinations have a limit.

I tried my best not skim over the books but not waste any more time. I got all of the book including the word "mirror" in their tittles as i palced it on a near by on a table with my backpack. It was about 5 books so it shouldn't take long (it took ages)

I read most of 3 books and it was complete nonsense. It was even more silly than the things I was experiencing. Talking about freaking cursed nano unicorns and honeysuckle dust making your sins go away. When i got to the 4th book. I looked at its contents and i immediatly saw what i was looking for ; mirror spirits reflecting others.

I looked back on the book's title , the tittle making so much more sense. Parallel Universes And Their Effects

The tittle was way to creepy for me but i still turned over to that page. I needed to know what was happening whether i chickened out or not.

{I love Mythology but i'm completely making everything up lol}

When the universe was being created , Hera the Goddess of marriage saw that her daughter , Eileithyia was inlove with Chronus. It was such a love that no one could deny that it was meant to ve and made everyone stare in awe and envy. Unfortunately , Chronus was constantly away making Eileithyia's heart shatter to pieces and blame herself for having such a beautiful yet dissapointing relationship with Chronus.
Hera couldnt stand see any mire tears stream down her daughters face. She took matters into her own hands and put a spell on the both of them. Everyone wished they had the power to do such amazing magic for their loved ones. Whenever Chronus and Eileithyia look at reflecting objects , at the same time , they would see eachother. So Eileithyia never felt alone without Chronus and no matter what they would always feel this irresistable connection.

I read that piece over and over again not getting enough of it. It was such a beautiful piece and so pure ; I simply couldnt get enough of it. But as much as I hate to admit it , I had to look for a scientific reason so I had a certain answer. There was an article a few pages later , catching my attention :

Scientists believe that as bizarre as it seems , they found proof that some people have been victims to this event. They found an ancient letter in Albania , a woman claiming to see her husband in her reflection when he was away and in the army. How they would sit at the mirror and talk for hours when he had the time to spare. The letter is from 1950 so not too old but old enough to make us question some things. We are looking for other proof of this event.

Other scientists say that when the universe was being created two peoples atoms touched for a very brief second causing nearly the same soul. Most reflecting objects reflect the two souls because the reflecting glass is tricked into thinking they're the same person.

I slammed the book trying to catch my breath. Scientists were loosing it all with this "universe" and "atoms" theory.I didnt know which one to believe. Its not likely the mythology thing happened to me. I mean , im pretty sure that it didnt happen to anyone. And that poor lady in Albania was probably tripping just like I am because she went through some hard things and her psyhology couldnt handle iy anymore. Even the universe thing sounds bizarre. I just couldnt accept that these were the facts. My life had turned into this supernatural replica of a parallel universe and neither of us knew what to do. But in the end , seeing a boy in your reflection is just as bizarre as the theories.
