Broken Mirrors (Katy Perry Fanfiction) #Wattys2015

Chapter 20 (Truth's Out)

My eyes shot open to a piercing pain to the side of my head. I reached to my ear, only to find it covered with blood. Everything around me was dark and eerie. I have no idea on how I got here into the middle of nowhere. Maybe it was because of my bleeding ear, but I cannot hear anything other than a high pitch sound ringing in my ear. My limbs are numb but my stomach hurts a lot... where am I?

'Ali Ali here you are oh my god! Come on! We have to go!'

'Annie what's happening?'

'He's coming and he is going to kill the both of us!'

'I thought daddy is locked up!'

'He got out Ali! And he's going to kill us for ratting him out! We have to run!'

'I can't! My body hurts!' I yelled.

'What happened?'

'I don't know Annie I don't even know how I got here!'

'Well where else will you be Alison?'

Oh no... Daddy is here... 'Were you staying at Katy's you brat?'

'Daddy I'm sorry she took me!' I tried to explain.

'Shut up! You deserve to die!' Daddy said, pointing a gun to my head. He pulled the trigger but I felt no pain. When I opened my eyes, daddy was no where to be seen. Annie was on the ground unconscious because she took the bullet for me.

'ANNIE! ANNIE PLEASE NO! DON'T DIE!'

Alison sat up and observed her surrounding, only to find herself back at Katy's house. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. Where is Annie? She's lucky that she's safe, but what about her sister?

Then there came a faint knock on the door and after a while, Jessie opened the door and popped her head through the tiny crack. 'Can I come in?'

'Of course. Did I wake you? I'm sorry Jessie...' Alison whispered as she curled up under the covers.

'It's okay what happened? You were screaming.'

'I had a bad dream... Did she hear?'

'You mean my mommy? Mommy is down the corridor, she can't hear you from there, and if she had heard she would be here right now.'

'Good... She can't hear me...'

'Why do you not want her to hear you? When I have a bad dream mommy comes to my room and sleeps with me. She sings her songs and she is an amazing singer.'

'Won't she punish you?'

'No she won't. Mommy loves me and she loves you too. Are you afraid of mommy?'

'I don't know...'

'Well don't be afraid Ali! Mommy is the nicest person around here. Why were you screaming?'

'I had a bad dream...'

'Then who's Annie?' Jessie asked causally.

'What?'

'Who's Annie? You were screaming her name.'

'Annie is my imaginary friend...'

'Imaginary friend? Oh I had one! Except mine is real! He is a pink unicorn and he cries candies and poops cotton candy! What's yours?'

'Mine is human.'

'But that's boring!' Jessie moaned.

'Maybe...' Alison mumbled, missing Annie.

'Well are you okay?'

'Yes I'm fine thank you Jessie.'

'Okay then... Goodnight Ali... I'm going to bed. If you have another bad dream come wake me up and I'll sing to you. I'm really good at singing too. I'll help you because you are my friend.' Still annoyed that Alison has a human for her imaginary fried. Why choose a human?

''Why is Alison so weird? Who doesn't go to their mommy when they have a bad dream? Mommys are like the best things in the world...''On this thought, Jessie stopped at Katy's door, now missing her mommy's cuddles. Jessie crept into Katy's room and got onto her bed. 'Mommy?' She murmured, slightly nudging her mommy.

'Jessie hey... Did you have a bad dream? Sorry mommy didn't hear...'

'No I didn't have a bad dream mommy, but Alison did, but she's okay now.'

'Did you just miss me?'

'Yes mommy. Can I sleep with you?'

'Of course you can.' Katy said without opening her eyes. She opened her arms and welcomed Jessie into her chest. Jessie gladly leaned against her hero's neck as Katy hugged her tightly, just the way Jessie likes it best. 'Mommy can you sing?'

'Now can you sing firework mommy?'

'Okay... But this is the last one okay?'

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?

'Annie where are you?' Alison cried while looking out the balcony under the silver moon. This night was perfect and she is going to start a normal life... If only she could share it with her sister... 'I miss you so much... I need you Annie...' She cried and got sad again.

Maybe I should go to Katy... Maybe she can do something and bring Annie back... Surely she won't mind if she's such a nice person... Ali tiptoed towards Katy's room, whose door was opened. Alison was about to knock and ask for permission to enter, but she already had company... Jessie was with Katy.

Katy was singing a nice tune to Jessie while she got really cozy. 'Jessie I love you so much...' Katy whispered as she finished her song.

'I love you too mommy.'

'Promise me you'll not grow up too quickly and you'll always be my little girl.'

'I pinkie promise you mommy.'

'Thanks for being so great with Alison you are my little superstar Jessie.'

'You're welcome...'

'You are my one and only little one and this will never change okay?'

'Okay mommy... But what about Alison?' Jessie said and dozed off.

'Oh honey she can never replace you...'

Alison immediately return to her room and buried her head into the pillow. Katy doesn't love her, she just pitied her. Alison finally understood and accepted that all adults are not to be trusted... They are all up to no good. Katy does not deserve my love. She thought... I should only love Annie and maybe I can love Jessie too...
