Then I just lay there. I heard everyone come up to me. "You can't leave, I'm sorry." I heard the girl say.

I just looked up to her. "You're not the boss of me." All these little kid's heads were poked out, in a circle all around me, looking down at me. The girl then said, "Do as you wish." Then she turned around and began to walk away, the kids following behind. I stood up and proceeded to try running through the wall again. After trying for about three more times, I stopped and sat down in the grass. "What to do?," I looked up towards the city, the kids were back to playing and doing their own thing. I decided I'd make the best of things and go join them. I stood up, brushed off my jeans, and walked towards the city.

One of the first things I did was just look around. The buildings were all connected by tubes, and once in a while you would see a laughing kid crawling through one. I looked towards the biggest, most colorful looking building and decided to check it out. Inside was the girl, or the leader. I started towards her. "Hey." I said, sitting down next to her. Around us was an arcade and a bunch of fun things to do, and some great looking food. I just remembered how freaking hungry I am and I jumped up, startling the girl, and kind of jogged towards the table. I heard her laughing and getting up behind me. "I guess you're hungry, eh?" she laughed. I nodded, stuffing my face with, macarons. "You actually like those?" I nodded and said with my mouthful, "One of my favorite foods of all time." She stuck out her hand. "Well, since the first thing I did was hug you, let's shake hands. Name's Ariana." I swallowed what was in my mouth. "Oh, like Ariana Grande?" She laughed. "I get that a lot. Let's talk. Let me explain to you what to expect, here.. In half life." I agreed and she started walking towards the door. She then turned around with kind of sparkle in her eye and a side smile. "Drop the luxemburgerli and lets go." She laughed. "What the hell is luxury burger? I want one," She started laughing really hard and I didn't understand why. "What?" She settled from her laughing fit and said, "Those." I looked in my hand at the blue macaron. "They do look like burgers.. Luxury burgers," She shook her head. "No, it's another name for a macaron." I laughed and nodded my head and started following her towards the door.

Outside, we walked around, she showed me around, she told me each kid's story, and how I could possibly be the only person here in a comatose state, except for one boy. His name is Liam Rockwell. He's fifteen and he won't do anything to try and go back to the living. "Why?," I asked. Confused why someone wouldn't want to go back to the living. I thought maybe I'd talk to him. Ariana joined me as we walked up to his room. Three knocks was all it took. "What? Who is it?," Ariana answered for me, "There's someone here who wants to talk to you." I heard him jump up and grab something. "Leave me alone." Then I heard some squeaks, which I figured were from his bed. "Can I come in?," He turned on some music. Ariana looked at me with a 'I told you so' face. "Liam. Open up." I went for the doorknob, which was locked as expected. Then I slammed shoulder first into the door, like I did with the forcefield wall outside. I heard some wood crack, but that was it. I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to help him, I needed to get in there and talk to him. "You're not allowed in, unless you're welcomed in. The doors just won't let you, unless he's moved on. "Hey, please let me in." I heard him turn down his music. "Who the hell are you? Why do you want to speak to me so bad?" I cleared my throat, ear against the door. "My name is Shane Dawson, and-," He cut me off "You are not Shane f-cking Dawson." Then he turned up his music. I started banging on the door. "I am. I wanted to help you! If we're both trapped, might as well make the best of it, considering it's only you and I caught halfway." He turned off the radio and said, "Come in," This time the doorknob was opened. I looked at Ariana, she looked surprised. She patted my back and walked away. "Where are you going?," She just smiled proceeded walking. I took a deep breath and walked in. "Liam, I-," Before I knew it, he was hugging me telling me how much of a fan he is. Then he let go and kind of dropped onto his bed. "Wait, how, what happened?," I shut the door behind me and sat next to him on the bed. Then I told him all that has happened so far. From the cheating, to the robbery, to the hospital, to McDonald's and so forth. "Wow, what a hell." Was his reaction and I kind of laughed and agreed. "Yeah, so, what happened with you?" I looked at him. He looked like the typical 'emo' kid. Beanie, grey skinny jeans, purple and plaid shirt, and piercings. He told me that he had an alcoholic, abusive father. He would beat on his mom and him, and one day he just got up and left. Left him and his mother. So he would have to work everyday since his mom was in a depressive state. She would lash out on him, calling him crude names, and sometimes hitting him. Delusionally thinking that Liam was his father. After two years of that, his father showed up into their lives again. One school morning, Liam woke up and there was his dad laying on the couch. Dirty as could be, and very homeless looking. So Liam went and locked his mom's door from the inside so he couldn't attack his mother. He went up to him and called him by his first name. "Roger, you can't live here anymore. You have to leave." So he got up and beat on him. Liam hitting back, it just wasn't enough. Then he was slammed into a wall and fell asleep. Ever since, he had been here. That was seven months ago. I reached over and hugged him. "I know how you feel." I let go and he looked at me. "I know, I'm your biggest fan, remember?," He laughed. I smiled, knowing that maybe I can help this kid.
