Guess

Lying Inside

I had came downstairs from changing, had on a small white dress, coming around to see food on the table for me. I sat down and started eating as he sat across from me. "Do you like it?"

I nodded. "Its good." Looking up to see nothing in front of him. "Aren't you going to eat though?"

He put his arms upright on the table to bridge his fingers and rest his chin on them. "I don't need to eat." He had a serious look on his face, as if also still deciding on something.

I stopped eating. "Wait, why don't you need to eat? Isn't this... all real?"

His eyes glanced up from my food to look me in the eyes. "Do you believe it is?"

I stared at him. "What if I want to believe it is real?"

"Then this will stay forever and you will be trapped inside yourself." He sat back. "This will stay real as long as you believe it. Tell me something, did you really smell the food? Did you really taste it?"

I paused, realized as I stared down at my plate. "N..no."

He nodded. "That's because they erased your mind before they did this, you have no relegation of many foods, so you do not taste or smell anything here."

I shot up. "Wha. This is to much!" I ran outside. I stared up to.. a white ceiling way up high and breathed out. "I don't get this." I feel down to my knees.

He came up from behind me, kneel down and hugged me from behind. "I know how much you want to stay, however you have to go, that's my word at least. If you want to stay then you will be here forever, but if you wished to wake up, then say so."

I stared at the blue grass. "I don't know what to think anymore. I want to stay.. but feels like somethings telling me to go."

He helped me up. "If you want to find a decision all you have to do is walk forward." I looked up to the opening in the trees. He came up to my ear. "Remember, you don't see me, but I will always be there with you forever."

I started walking forward, his hand held mine, but soon as we got to the trees, he had stopped, his hand slipping from mine. I glanced over my shoulder to him. He nodded. "Its alright, go. You won't see me, but I am there."

I smiled and nodded, then carried on into the trees. The trees thinned, darkness crept closer, soon the trees turned into thin lines then disappeared. A boy stood with his back to me, a voice echos. "I know you've probably forgotten those before us, and one day, I know you will forget me. So hopefully our instincts won't forget each other." He made a big sigh. "You are our hero, you were fighting so hard, and yet here you are now, stuck in your own self. You're letting her win."

Image of red flashed in my head, I stared off thinking. "L.. Lu.." Finally came to me as I looked up. "Luka!" But he was gone.

Hearing a voice shout, but wasn't his. "Never forget!" Going back to the garden, turning to him. "It was Luka I saw. They made me forget him." I went up to him, he smiled and cupped my cheeks. "As much as I want to stay and be with you, you are right."

His charming smile warmed and yet ached my heart. "I know. Its what is best for you. Just don't forget me ever."

I smiled, setting a hand on his cheek. "In the far ends of my mind, I know I never will." I blinked, confused. "Wait, how do I wake up?"

He smirked. "Like this." Leaned forward and kissed my lips, feeling how soft he is, this overwhelming feeling, my heart raced and...
