I was just casually walking down the street, listening to my tunes through my headphones, while I was changing songs a saw a familiar face in the corner of my eye.
That's when I saw her...
Kyra, the love of my life, she's so cute, I just want to snugg-
She saw me, shes currently waving to me, I decided to wave back,
She's signaling to go over there, I walk over
"Hey Alex! How's it going!?" She happily says
"I'm good, was just walking up and about, how about you" I respond
"Just waiting for my boyfriend to show up" She says
Ugh, I forgot she had a boyfriend, he's pretty good looking too, I wouldn't have a chance against him.
"Speaking of my boyfriend, there he is! Dylan!" She yells
He's your typical sexy guy, muscular, nice hair, light skinned, a solid 9/10, I would give him a 10/10 but i'd need to know how big his-
"Hey Hero, come back to reality" she says as she snaps her fingers in my face
"Huh? Oh sorry, hey, i'm going to go now alright, I have...uhh..somewhere I gotta be" I lie
"Oh" she looks a little sad "alright then, talk to you later" she says as she waves her hand bye
As I turn the corner away from the I trip on a loose rock, great, in front of all these peop-
Where is everyone? They were all just here, like a second ago
I get up and look around
"Alright this is weird" I'm thinking out loud now
"Hero?" I hear someone say faintly, I recognize the voice
"Hero?"
I hear it again, it sounds like...
Lila, one of my crushes that I haven't seen since grade 7
it sounds like it's coming from around the corner, "might as well say hi" I say to myself
I turn the corner only to see something really shocking
It's not Lila, it's Alex
"Hello Hero"
What? She sounds just like Lila
I don't understand this, how can she look like one person but sound like another?
"How are you Hero?" She asked
"I-I'm good...uhh.."
"You don't remember me Hero?" She asks
"N-No it's not that it's just that..uhh...i'm not sure what name to use..."
"Huh?" She looks genuinely confused
I think I look confused
Hell, I AM confused
"My name...it's Sam...you don't remember..."
What is this?!
Now her voice just changed again!
It's of one of my 5th grade crush...
"It's also Susan"
Wha...her voice just changed again...
"and Mary"
Her voice just changed again
She keeps saying all my crushes name
and her voice keeps changing to the girls voice
it keeps changing
over
and over
and over
and over
and over
repeating the same 7 names over and over
I feel dizzy
I feel like falling
and I did
I fell
but I didn't hit the ground
I opened my eyes
I'm...falling in a...black void?
"What is going on?!" I scream
"I can't see anything!"
I start flailing, i'm trying to grab on to nothing, grabbing on air
that's when I realized
I'm not falling
Hell, I'm not moving at all
At least I don't think so
But, even though I have no idea where I am
I kinda like it
it feels like a warm hug
or a blanket that just came out of the dyer
It feels really nice
I can't see anything but I sure do like it
I wouldn't mind staying here for a little nap..
that sounds like a really good idea actually
Im just going to close my eyes......
"AGH" I scream againEVERYTHING JUST WENT WHITE
IM BLINDED!
I CAN'T SEE-
wait... it's not that I can't see because of a really bright light
it's white because everything IS white
and-
oh no
NO
"AHHHHHH!!"
"I'M FALLING!"
"I'M ACTUALLY FALLING!"
"LIKE, REALLY FAST!"
"I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL!"
"IT'S COLD, I FEEL COLD!"
It really does feel cold
it feels like a soaking wet blanket
Like the hug from a ice block
I have felt these things before
like both of them
I close my eyes
and open them again to see Alex looking above me
and a crowd surrounding me
"Are you okay?" Alex asks
"Yea I'm fine- nngghh" as I tried sitting up a sharp pain hits me in my forehead
"Oh! Be careful. you kinda knocked yourself out when you fell" she tells me
Huh, I knocked myself out, didn't realize
But I did realize something
normally when I see Alex my heart races
I have a warm feeling when I see her
but now...
I don't feel a thing.
