The Switch

The Switch Part 2 Chapter 3

I rushed down the corridor,passed by my opinion millions and millions of gothic candled wall lamps and many paintings,including some very disturbing situations.I was sure the woman,who was excpectedly my long lost grandma,wasn't quite well in her head.I passed the painting of a humble young man,who was covering the secret door to the cellar.I knew there was no way out so I searched for another way.Since there was no doors I knew more in that corridor,I decided to go straight to the other side and stopped and sighed with a shudder in my breath.I wasn't quite sure,how long I can pull my resistance.At some point,everyone goes mad when her life is so messed up.I didn't even know anymore if that bittersweet girl, Elecktra Berrybot, was inside me.With a pain cut in my chest,I remembered those summers I spent in my room,my cozy and messy room,the waves on the shore I watched and the thoughts I had then.I worried so much about looking to skinny and pale,though I was paler now.I had no time for problems of my own.

Slowly,I raised my arm to the golden door knob and twisted it.I heard an unlocking sound and pushed open the big mahogany door.It was very heavy,since it was to ceiling and ceiling was as long as I was in a church.

I closed my eyes,in case I would step into a worse place than I was before.

Before I could open them,I heard a quiet murble of a fountain and bird's wings's murmur when they flew by.

I felt the sun carresing my cheek and I thought this was actually the same study where I was before.

But when I opened my eyes,I saw a different arhitecture,and it was actually very beautiful.

There were no windows on the light marmor walls,but for that,the ceiling was made of glass and the sun felt so similar like I was actually outside.The floor was made of light marmor too,but there was a lot of soil on the ground too,since the room was filled with tropical plants and trees.The trees were as big as outside,since the ceiling was very high.In the center,there were some sofas and tables,wich looked like garden furniture,wich were surrounding a small fountain wich was quietly murbling,not minding a shocked guest that interrupted the serenity of that room.And on the opposite of where I was standing,there were two spiral staircases on the both sides of walls,both leading to a big white wooden door.

I slowly started walking forward,and since I was on a stair as well,I must've looked ridicoulus,when I was slowly stepping down on each step and admired that room.

Some birds strated singing lullaby,and with a slight irritation,I again realized Bethany was right- this place was from my choma dream.

When I was half way through the room,totally forgotten I looked for an exit,I heard someone else was in here.

I looked to the left staircase.

I saw a boy there.

He also saw me.

We stared at each other at least for 10 seconds,like we would've recognized each other.

He wore a white shirt and a beige jacket on it.

I saw the sun playing with sparkle on his goldish curls.

He looked like someone I knew,but I couldn't remember.

Actually,I couldn't remember anything at this moment.

He started coming down,slowly like I was before,not raising his eyes from me.

He walked in front of me and asked slowly"Do I know you?"

"I'mnotsureifyouknowmebutIknowyou"I breathed right at his face with one sentence.

Stupid,stupid,stupid.I slapped myself in my thoughts.I wished the dreams of meeeting my perfect soulmate would've given me some experience in talking with guys.

Buuuuut nope!

I remembered again who he reminded me.He was the excact copy of Marcus.The both,hospital and choma dream one.

"Well,this is it then" I tought to myself bittersweetly "Every kind of love I experience,ends"

"Excuse me,what?"He laughed.

Not sure if because of me or over me.

"I'm so sorry,that was silly of me.I said,you remind me someone,but,I'm sure I'm mistaken"

I said neatly.

Sweet.Now he thinks I'm a creepy smartass.

Before he thought I was just creepy.

"Well my name is..."He started but again,the abrubt rush of anger took me over.I wasn't sure,what was it,but lately,I had serious problems with keeping calm and anger managment.Maybe I was going nuts.

"Don't you dare to say your name is Marcus.If you say it,itś bullsh*t!!!It's bullsh*t I said!!! I have lost "the Marcus" TWICE in my life! TWICE! So just say I'm disgusting and don't give me any hope,cause in the end then,i'm still alone or just wake up!"I yelled at him,tears flowiing out my eyes,wich were like 2 fountains.I had a very sudden mood-swing and was as shocked as the boy,at who I was yelling.I fell on my knees and covered my face with my hands.I was so pathetic.Kneeling before my deja vu boy,crying and totally losen self-control,in a maxi skirt barefoot and with my top,wich was already wet from my tears,hair being all messy and sticky on my neck.

The boy squatted to me and tried to find my face from my hands and swept away the hair wich was in front of my face with his hand.

"As I was saying"He said to me,smirking"My name is Marcus,and I love you,Elecktra."

"But.....but how..."I slurred my nose and wiped away some tears,hoping this wasn't any sick joke again.
