Love Story: Us

Chapter 8

I kept running to her and yelling. When I got to her she just stared at me upset.

"Violet are you okay?" I asked her.

"I'm not falling for this again." She said.

"What? It's me Paseris." I say. She shakes her head and backs away.

"Really it's me." I say but she turns away.

"Then how do I know that the reason that you carry that ancient boom box is that it reminds you of your kingdom." I say. She still won't look at me.

"You're always willing to put your sisters' needs before yours. Knowing your parent's are far away and risking their lives crushes you everyday." She turns towards me.

"However, when I bring you Ice cream, it makes you infinitely happier because it reminds you of the day we met. " I step closer to her.

"I also know that when you get upset you become defensive and hard headed. But I wouldn't want you any other way. You're my dearest friend, and I'll be there for you whenever you need me." I finished. She hugs me and sobs into my shoulder.

(Violet )

"Is it really you?" I ask between sobs.

"Yeah, it is." He says. This time it feels different. It feels real.

"How are you here?" I ask.

"Ms. Spira." He says.

"Who?" I say confused.

"She's this spiritual healer nurse." He says. Why would he need that?

"Why did you go to a spiritual nurse?" I ask.

"Violet..." He says.

"Yeah." I ask anxiously.

"You are in the hospital. The Darkness has you trapped in your mind. You're in like a coma." He says slowly and softly.

"Oh." I say, trying to process the information.

"But I'm here and I'm gonna help you wake up. We need to break the bond with the Darkness." He explains.

"I talked to the Darkness." I informed him.

"What, how?" He asks me.

"She turned into this giant woman. She said I needed to be her Vessel. I refused." I tell him.

"Okay. So she needs your body. Why?" He asks.

"Supposedly I have a powerful mind." I say.

"Hmm. Maybe that's the key to waking you up!" He says.

"What do you mean?" I asked with confusion.

"Well, you know how sometimes you dream or daydream and are able to control it..." He says.

"Yeah." I say as I start to understand.

"...dreams are stuff that goes on in your self-consciousness or... in your mind." He continues.

"So, you're saying if I think about a car, I can just make it into existing." I say slightly doubtful.

"Yeah, pretty much. Go ahead, try." He says.

"Okay, here I go." I close my eyes. Come on car, come on.

"Violet...open your eyes!" He says excitedly.

"What it actually worked!" I say as I look at a Ferrari. Oh, I'm going to have fun. Paseris and I get into the Ferrari.

"You know, I don't want to point this out, but one we don't have keys and two we don't know how to drive." Pas says.
