In The Eyes of Me

Chapter 8

That statement he said to me, those words...it felt my whole world was ripped apart. I didn't believe it, I didn't want to...but I knew it was true. I knew in the real world I was better and it was time to wake up. The only problem was that...I didn't know how.

The thoughts that were running through my head in the first place were, what will happen when I wake up, will I recognize my family, will my family recognize me, but most of all what will happen to Shei? Is he real or part of my simulation?

I snapped back to reality and quickly looked back at Nigel "How do I wake up?" I asked, he pushed his glasses up with his finger in a know it all way "That is simple" he said "delete your world and everything within it" my mind went a blank when he had said that. I spoke once more "But I don't know how to" I said, he stepped forward to me "of course you do, once you think about it, it already starts" he said. Once I think about it? what the hell am I suppose to think about, the end of the world, I have been living here my whole life and I'm suppose to delete it. But there was a part of me that wanted to live again, not within a simulation but in the real world, with the sea and the sky and it would all be real.

At that moment I knew where to begin. I looked back to Nigel and shook his hand "Thank you, thank yo for everything" I said before I ran off back into the building window. I slid my hand through the way back and allowed my body to slip through.

I was back in the void room with nothing in it, I turned to see the cave to the Goddess's Din. I ran to the cave and slipped by every nook and cranny. I made it back to the pond with the island. My heart was racing at the thought ill wake up and ill see my family again, my home again, my world again. I ran to the small island with Shei still sleeping in the middle of it, I kneeled down before him and tapped him to wake him up "Shei, Shei wake up, hey do you here me, wake up" he woke up his voice was groggy "mmm Vee?" he looked at me with sleepy eyes.

I grabbed him and hugged him tightly, close to my heart "It's time for me go home now Shei" I said, he looked confused "W-what do you mean...you are home" he said, I didn't know how to explain this to him, so I went the blunt option "Shei...this world...it doesn't exist, it's not real it was all in my head, I have been asleep this whole time...now it's time for me to wake up...and for us to say good-bye", at that moment I could see, tears began to tears down his face, he was crying.
