My Neverland

Two: Voices

Am I the only one?

To hear voices in her head?

Is it  weird to hear voices in your head, to see people and things that aren't there?

Three years.

Three years ago I started hearing a voice in my head. When I first got a blade it spoke up. Called me weak for even touching the blade itself. Deep down, I agreed. But what else could I do?

Over time more voices have joined that one, who I nicknamed "Number One". By the beginning of seventh grade year, I realized that the voices in my head belonged to people. That's when I realized who's voice "number one" was. I realized as soon as he started talking. I remember it perfectly.

-/He was sitting next to me, but I didn't care because I only knew one person in this class. We were going around the room, saying our name, and what we wanted to do in the future. I zoned out, not listening to anyone, or anything. Next thing I know Ayla is pinching me because I'm next after her. She finishes, I stand up. "My name is T———-, and I'm going to be the first female Navy SEAL." I spoke clearly, not missing a beat when he smiled up at me from the seat next to mine. I remember everyone's shocked faces and someone calling, "But you're a GIRL!!" I remember laughing, and the teacher saying "she can try." I sat down, happy I made an impression. Anyway, he stood up next. "Hi, I'm ---- -----, I'm going to be a Navy SEAL, and I know Taylor can be one too." Everyone stopped. Hell, for me, Time stopped. I realized two things at once; He was the same boy who spoke in my head, and he was going to be a SEAL with me. \-

I thought it was crazy- still do.

But then again- aren't I crazy?

What right do I have to call anything, or anyone else crazy?

None.

I'm done. For now.
