My Video Game

Cherry

I loved being able to wake up next to Chris, he looked so beautifully vulnerable in the morning. I think maybe people will think that we went to fast. That we ran before we could walk. The thing is, we didn't "sleep together", we only slept together. Any girl and boy should have the right to sleep together, involved in each other or not. And anyway, I wasn't going to be here long, so I had to make the most of my time.

When he woke up he said, "I love you, Cherry. I want to spend the rest of my teenage years....maybe more with you".

He said it so confidently it made me so sad to think to be without him. I was too worried to tell him the full truth. Would a week of his love make up for a lifetime without? If I could fall in love this quickly, wouldn't it mean I can fall back out of it just as easily? However, I truly didn't believe that either one of us loved each other in reality. At least not yet.

"I love you too, Chris. I don't want to spend a day without you". I had spent less than a week with this boy. Was I being over the top? I hardly knew him!

It's hard to think that I'll have to leave this wondrous place and these wondrous people. It's making me wonder which life I like better. "Real", where bad things can happen or "Fake", where people are always happy... I realised it then. I said fake for a reason, being unhappy is a part of life. There's that saying, isn't there? If there aren't bad things, how will we know what the good things are? Is that a saying or did I just make that up?

Back to the point, I can't stay here. This game isn't real. Chris isn't real. How can I feel such a strong and real bond and connection towards a person who, technically, doesn't exist.

Vote, comment and share. I truly appreciate everybody who's reading :D
