The Nobody

Chapter 7

The other voice inside of my head said screw it and I sit up and grabs a hold of his arm. He stops and my eyes widen in shock on what I just did. I was just about to let him go when he looks back at me and smiles. "What? Did you change your mind on wanting me to leave?" He asked me teasingly.

I couldn't help but blush on that and I puff my cheeks out. "Maybe I did or maybe I didn't? You may never know but I want you to get your ass over here and cuddle with me," I said. He looks at me shocked and comes over and lays next to me.

I was just about to throw him off my bed when I decided to just screw it and curls up into his side and buries my face in his neck. I felt him wrap his arms around me holding me close to him. I felt myself relax and then I begin to drift off to sleep.

I didn't know if I was going to dream or not. But looks like I might have a dreamless sleep or so I thought until I started to dream.

*The dream*

I was wondering down the halls of my mirror selves when I feel one of them grab my hand and pulls me inside of their world. I wanted to pull away and run off. But something told me to just go with it so I do. I look around and I see that everything is frozen. Nothing seems to move.

I frown and I touch the people and that's when I see them break apart right in front of me. I gasp out loud and I pull back as one by one. Each mirror person starts to break and falls apart. I begin to take off running trying to get away from all the glass that kept falling down.

I hear a girl scream and I run faster as the girl screams louder and more mirror people break. I turned a corner and I see that there is a door. I grab the handle and I opens it running inside quickly and closes the door.

As I do all the outside noise stops but it isn't long before I hear a huge thump against the door. I sighed in relief and that's when I look around the room. I noticed that I was in my old room.

This was back in the time when my parents and I weren't fighting and we enjoyed each other's company. I felt tears stream down my face as I remember those wonderful days where we didn't fight and we got along so well. I watch as the memories play out before me. I watched as my mother, father and I sat around the couch.

We were eating popcorn and watching a movie. The movie was a horror movie and all you heard was people screaming and shouting. I was wedged in between my parents and I was holding onto them for dear life. I remember them laughing as they thought how cute it was for me to be so clingy.

Then it happened and I heard screams again and I screamed and jumped and fell off the couch. My parents laughed and at first I was about to cry because it hurt. But then I started to laugh as well and I got off of the floor and I sat back down with my parents again watching the rest of the movie.

After the movie was over that's when I knew it was bed time. I went to bed as my parents tucked me in for bed. I was 6 or 7 at the time I remember enjoying my parents tucking me in at night. They left my room after kissing my head and telling me goodnight and how much they loved me.

Once they left I watched myself fall asleep. I so badly want to be that little girl again. Where she had her parents love. But I knew that wasn't going to happen any time soon. I walk to the little girls bed and I sat down beside her and I reached my hand out just about to touch her gently before she opened her eyes and looked right at me.

"You know you could have this again right? Show them that you are the daughter they can love. Show them the real you don't let them go so easily. If they really loved you they would accept you for who you are not the person they wanted you to be. You can do this Ruby you always could," the little me said.

I was shocked but not surprised I mean how many times have my mirror me's have told me this? I asked myself. "Tell me what I can do to make sure I can have this life. As the other me's have claimed that I could have?" I asked her.

She threw her head back and laughed "haven't you figured it out yet by now?" She asked me I frowned and I was about to get ready to run when I stopped and looked up at her as she started to grin at me more. "Ok I'll bite why are you smiling that much at the moment?" I asked her. She looked eager to tell me what she knew.

"Oh it's nothing we just want you to do what is right for you. So that way you can finally get the life you have been watching us in now. But be careful on how you live in it, it might not be everything you would want it to be," the little girl said. I looked at the girl.

I saw that her eyes were closed. I'm guessing she was a mechanic doll so I didn't think much about it. I left the room and I looked around seeing that half of the stuff in the house got frozen over. I frowned that didn't seem right I was just about to walk away and leave when I felt someone grab my hand and stops me.

I was just about to growl and bite the person when I turn around and saw who it was. I couldn't help but get annoyed. Why were all of these me's grabbing my hand and trying to stop me from leaving. But then again I have noticed that this world looked weird and it looked like it was falling apart.

"What do you need from me? What's going on with this world of yours?" I asked the me that was standing in front of me. She didn't say anything at first she just kept looking at me. I was just about to pull myself away from her when she stops me again by gripping tightly to my hand.

"Come on either speak or let me go so I can walk away from here and this place. No one seems to want to answer my questions around here," I said. Finally the girl speaked and when she did my heart almost stopped beating after she tells me what the others have been trying to tell me.

"You don't get it do you? Your life is changing that means you might not need us anymore. Or it could mean that you are falling apart so then our world will follow yours too. You have to make the choice either finally change and let us go. Or you can fall apart and lose us for good. We all know that's not what you want at all," she said.

I shook my head and I take a step not sure on what I should do on what I was told. Did I really care about this world that I made for myself? Wasn't this all in my head? A place I made up? No way this world can be real at all there is just no way about it.

"Your not telling me this world is real are you?" I asked her a little scared. She looked at me sadly and shook her head. "Would it matter if we told you that it was? I mean what's the point of telling you when we all know that you wont help us save our world," she said.

I fell down and was surprised when I felt a chair break my fall and catches me.
