The Nobody

Chapter 9

The other Ruby goes back to walking trying not to look behind her as she keeps walking. Finally she gets into a room and opens the door and looks up at the other person that's in the room. She takes a deep breath and walks over to the person and waits for them to be done with the phone.

When they are done talking on it. They hang up the phone and looks up looking at the other Ruby. "Yes? What is it that you wanted?" The person asks. She gulps and opens her mouth getting ready to speak. "I was wondering if I could get some help with something dad," she says.

My eyes widen in shock when I hear her call him that. He didn't look like my dad at all. Could this be the one girl who's different from the other Rubys? Not much made sense of this world.

But I took a best guess on what this world is mainly about. It was mirror images of the world I live in. The only thing that was different about it. Is that it didn't show any other people but different versions of me. But after seeing this? I believe I could be wrong.

Maybe there is more to this. I watch as her father sets the phone down and gets up and sits on top of his desk and looks at his daughter carefully. "Alright what is it?" He asked her calmly. She bit her lip and it looked like she wasn't going to say anything but then she looks up at him.

"I believe I'm in trouble I got lost walking from somewhere and I ran into people that seemed dangerous. They went to try to grab me but I kicked them hard and I took off. As I was running away they called out saying they were going to try to find me," she said.

She takes a breath before she goes back to her story. "As I kept running I was trying to find my way back to where the streets were familiar to me. But I couldn't then I heard people running after me so I hid. When they ran passed me I thought I was going to get away.

But when I went to reach into my pocket to grab my phone I realized that my wallet was missing. So now I believe they are going to find me," she said. I held my breath thinking the worst. But her father didn't even seemed concerned at all.

Rather he looked really disappointed and annoyed. As if his daughters safety meant nothing to him. "This is just great you can't seem to do anything right can you? Your just like your good for nothing mother. I don't even know why I bother having you as my daughter. You bring nothing but a headache to me," he said annoyed.

I couldn't help but get mad at him. How could he say that to her? It wasn't her fault that it happened. So why can't he be concerned and do something about it then? I couldn't help but think to myself. I took a step towards him ready to hit him.

But I felt the other Ruby pull me back and didn't let me go. "There is nothing you can do for me. This is just a memory this has already happened. You can't stop it now," she said to me in a whisper. I couldn't help but sigh nodding my head and I took a step back and watched what happened next.

She let me go when I did. I watch the other Ruby and I saw that she was angry too. I watched in surprise as she opens her mouth and starts to yell at her dad. "HOW CAN YOU GO AND SAY THIS TO ME?! IT WASN'T MY FAULT THAT I GOT ROBBED! MOM WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU! NO WONDER SHE LEFT YOU! YOUR DEAD TO ME AND I HATE YOU! YOU DON'T JUST STAND THERE AND SAY THAT!" she shouts nearly in tears.

Her dad doesn't say anything he just sits there and has a bored look on his face. As if this isn't the first time that she has yelled at her dad like that. "Get out of my office and get out of my sight. Your no longer welcome here," he said in a calm voice. After he said that he walks away and sits at his desk. Clearly stating that he was done with her and that it was her que to leave.

I saw her with tears in her eyes and she turns away walking out of the office. My heart went out to her. She looked like a scared and hurt little girl right there. Pretty soon the picture changes. I watch in amazement as she slips out keys to a really expensive car and gets in starting it up and speds away. I realize with a start that she took her father's car. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her drive away like that.

Then the scene stops and everything changes and we are back in the room we were in before and I look over at her. At first we say nothing to each other but then I grab her and I hug her tightly. She freezes at first but then she hugs me back and we just stay that way hugging each other. Then I hear her hiccup and I look up at her and I hug her tightly more. She clings to me and just keeps crying.

I'm usually not the hugging type but I didn't mind her holding onto me and crying after a while she calms down and I pull away giving her a tissue. She blows her nose and her face is flushed as if she is surprised that she was crying let alone crying on me. At first we don't say anything to each other and it feels a little awkward. "So what happened after all of that?" I asked her. "Well of course they found my house. But I wasn't there and my dad was. So let's just say he kind of got what he deserved after they killed him. I know that's cruel to say but you saw how he was," she said.

I nodded my head rubbing her back before pulling away. "I can relate there are times where I think my parents need to get what they deserve," I said looking down at the ground. At first neither one of us moved but then she touched my back lightly. "So shall we leave then?" She asks me. I nodded my head yes and we both leave the place and go back to another room. Where things didn't look like they were going to fall or break apart.

"So you think you can help us now after everything you have seen?" She asked me. I bite my lip and think it over. It's such a big decision to make but I knew if I didn't do something it just might affect me too. I look up at her and I nod my head letting her know that I'm going to help. She gets all excited and hugs me tightly and then before I knew it we were back in my childhood home and the younger me was looking at me. 

At first I was freaked out wondering what was going on. But then I saw that the younger me was smiling up at me. "I knew you could do it I knew you would be the one to help us out when no one else would," she said to me. I bend down to her level and look her in the eyes and I cant help but ask her the one question I have been wanting to ask her for a while. "Were you the one behind it all on me finding all of this out and showing me and having the others show me all of this too?" I asked her. 

The little girl just smiled at me and then doesn't answer. But I knew that the smile was enough to answer my question that I already knew the answer to. I looked up at the older Ruby and I smile at her. "Do you think I could get help from others as well?" I asked her.
