What a beautiful toy to me (AMBW BYUN BAEKHYUN)

Lovers everywhere pt.1

I parked the car safely in the lot, not really wanting to repeat what happened in my head...I just....I needed to get her away from the school. For good. After everything that's happened and everyone? The teachers, the students, the principal the damn rooms? How the fuck am I the only one who can see that something's wrong with it? A nd I came back? I fucking came back! I rubbed my face with my hands. "Marie..." She turns to me, with a worried look. "Sehun?" and concern.
"You do know I can't bring you back anymore. To the school. There's something that I've been meaning to tell you about it for a long time..." I was going to leave you there by yourself and everyone else. "There was a reason why I kept getting into trouble more after...figuring it out." Her eyebrow raised in disbelief, and her hand stretched out behind her, grabbing the edge of the car door handle. But I locked the door. She wasn't getting out. "What is it?" she asked. I could see her arms getting shaky. I leaned over to her side of the chair, placing my forehead on top of hers. It was something we always did back then, when something we had to say was serious. "Marie, this might sound fucking crazy to you, but i need you to trust me." I could feel my throat start to close; tightening. "I know you all have been having them too. The weird dreams, the creepy recorded lectures? The reason we sometimes get up in the morning and look at our selves in the mirror and forget who we are anymore? It's happened to all of us. But not yet, to you....you still remember who you are. But...I almost forgot who I was."

I remembered it as clear as yesterday. No one else remembered how we got here. We were dressed in white suits, walking alike in unison and no one bothered to question it. I as the only person who woke up, when I wasn't supposed to. But I was a malfunction. Everyone sat at their designated tables, staring at each other and talking as if it was all normal. Nothing was normal, they gave us plates of food and there was nothing there but....grey mush. They were  eating shit; utter garbage. I stared with my two eyes in disgust at what I'd been eating. What they gave us. I could have sworn, that I saw it move. I dug through it with my fork to find some medicine in it and a bright red light peaking through. "What the fuck.."I whispered under my breath, looking around. I saw Jongin. He was so happy. I remembered his story. Yeah he came here with his parents together. His dad and his mom, and they got a job opportunity here. An expansion I guess, and they lived happily together. And Jongin was the same. As long as he had them, it was fine. He was my best friend at the school at first. Kyungsoo, well, he was always the same. I saw him sitting by scratching his shoulder because he'd gotten a rash that day from the fabric he'd been wearing. He was never someone that was depressed. He was just content with everything and accepted it. That's why he was so easy to manipulate. He believed that he was destined to die because they told him to think that way. One of the guards came up from behind me and tapped my shoulder. He was wearing a protective mask and body armor like the fuckers in a swat team movie. He had a tazer, a hand gun with some sort of syringe, and a baton. "You not eatin' the good stuff today are you?" He lifted his mask up, and grinned. "Cheer up, bud. If you don't eat today I gotta mark you with a reprimand, and you know what that means. So eat your food, it'll make you feel so much better." What? I don't know what the hell he's talking about. I shake my head, almost in pain because of it. My mind felt like it was getting some sort of feedback through my ears and into my brain. My vision started to-- glitch--like some sort of video? Or computer? I don't know...I thought it had something to do with the food i hadn't touched, so I made like I was eating it and I walked out to the hall with the guard following me back all the way there. There was no one in the hall way besides the other students there who were being escorted to their own rooms. The glitching stopped briefly, and i saw Tao and Marie. Marie, that's when I first saw Marie again. She's goddamn pretty. I stared at her, and wanted to call her name out, but something about this Marie was different. She had the most plastic expression...drained. The overseers had her walking out from a sketchy room that had the sign...Rehabilitation Center engraved above. Back then, Marie'd been going  there for the past 2 weeks. She would come back emaciated, and no one would notice. I turn to look over my shoulder, where the guard had been, whistling. "Yeah that's what happens when you disobey protocol. Lucky for you, O.H. Sehun, you're a good patient. Aren't you? We won't need to brainwash you, put you in a straight jacket, none of that. The institute of re-learning, needs you as its star example." And that's when my ears opened up. I actually heard him. I understood the words coming out of his mouth, and didn't mistake it for static feed back or white noise. And that's when I realized, that I wasn't supposed to hear the words coming out of his mouth. They weren't a supposed to register in my mind that way. It as supposed to be garbled, so that the message would be just as meaningless and empty. My heart started racing, I was terrified. That's hen I knew, that I had to get out of here! For Marie...if not myself.

When I told her, she didn't believe me. "Get the hell away from me!" She said, trying to open the door as much as she could. She pulled on it, kicking down the frame of it and then the glass. She screamed for help, and started crying. "Sehun, you're fucking crazy! You're crazy, you hear me!?" But she was just distraught...and I was...she'd never believe me. I already knew that now.

"Marie look at me! When was the last time you ever spoke to your mother?"

And...she was still then. "My...mom? I don't remember having..." She shook her head. "What? That's funny, I don't even remember what she looks like. I don't even think...I had one but, that doesn't make any sense...what's..." She turned over to me, staring with wide eyes full of desperation. "Oh my god, Sehun. I don't remember how I got here? What the fuck! How did this happen to us? Why are we there?" I didn't know why. I don't even know if the story they told us about ourselves, are true. "I don't know Marie...but Baekhyun? He isn't like us. He's something else, and we can't go back. We can never go back."

"B-But...Jongin, and- and....Kyungsoo, they..."

"No Marie, I'm sorry but it's too risky. They can leave and come as they go, but they'll always think the way they want to. The institute is already suspicious of me, and of you leaving with me most likely. Baekhyun? I don't know what his story is, but he can hurt us. He can hurt us wherever he sees us. In more ways than one...I know you know what I'm talking about."
