SuperMerWhoLock Season 1 Finale - Everything Is Going To Be Okay

"Everything is going to be okay."
It was the end of the line. The final straw. It was, no longer, going to be okay. I couldn't see how anything would ever improve. Nothing would ever be okay again.
I had been able to cope with the knowledge that all of my favourite people were fictional. That everyone who ever felt like family was just a character. Well... Actually, that's a complete lie. How would anyone cope with that knowledge?
But one thing tipped me over the edge. I could've survived at the very least with the previously mentioned knowledge. I was surviving school. Keeping my head down. The bullies hadn't even poked fun at me for a few weeks. Then, somehow, they found out about my... connection with fictional characters. The bullying returned, and worse than before. They even started bullying my friends... Until they stopped hanging out with me.
And I was left more alone than ever.

"Everything is going to be okay."
That's what everyone always used to say if I told them anything. So it's what I told myself as my hope faded and my will broke. But it wasn't going to be okay. It wasn't okay.
I spent less and less time in the real world. I spent more time imagining that I was with my favourite characters. Eventually, the only time I ever left my room was to eat/drink and go to the loo.
Then, one day, they were really there. They were really in front of me, in my room. They were really there, trying to comfort me. They were really holding me and supporting me.
The first to try and comfort me was Sherlock.

"Everything is going to be okay," he started. It was the same way as I'd tried to convince myself for ages, but he said it with such conviction. "Don't be silly, Alexa. They're wrong about you: of course you matter. You've always mattered."
I couldn't even begin to process what he'd said to me. While he stroked my tears from my left cheek with his thumb, I looked into his eyes. "You're real?" I asked, dumbfounded.
He gave a simple nod and wiped away my tears from my right cheek, before letting the Doctor take over comforting me.

The Doctor had appeared to me in his tenth incarnation. This regeneration was quite a bit taller than me, so he was crouching down so that I was looking down towards him. Not much, but enough to make me feel bigger. Before, I had felt so small. So insignificant.
"Everything is going to be okay." It seemed to be the only thing linking this to the rest of my life, which is how I knew it was real. "And I promise you, Alexa, that you're important." I had just about accepted that they were real. I couldn't accept that I was supposedly important. "Don't look at me like that - in all my 900 years I've never met anyone who wasn't important." I was still a little dubious about my being important, but I had no time discuss it further with him... for the moment. Because he gave my arms a squeeze, then let Dean try and comfort me. He was just about the closest thing I had to proper family.

Dean hugged me close to him, pulling me up to his height, but bending down a little so that I was balanced. He, too, seemed to think of me as family, because I'd only ever seen him hug family in this way. "Everything is going to be okay," he whispered into my ear.
He pulled apart enough to look at me, in time to see me shake my head gently, a tear rolling down my cheek.
"Hey. I know it seems like life sucks, that you've got the devil on your tail. Hell, sometimes you do." I smiled sadly at this. "But you're strong enough to beat him. You've got friends at your back," he gestured to the others, "and family too, and that's what really counts in the end."
He pulled me back into the hug, allowing me to bury my eyes into his shoulder. We remained like that for a little while, my tears staining the shoulder of his plaid shirt. Eventually, we pulled apart again, and he let Merlin comfort me - but not before giving me a gentle, familial kiss on the cheek.

"Everything is going to be okay," he told me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, squeezing me kindly against his side. "Alexa, you are more than just a girl in the 'real' world. You are the daughter of the earth, the sea, the sky. Magic is the fabric of any world. Believing in other worlds is a form of magic, and you were born of that magic. You are magic itself. You can't be confined by their limitations. You can never lose what you are."

They took turns adding to what they - and each other - had said, each time beginning with the same 'Everything is going to be okay'. It took them a while, but I believed them, and I knew that I was strong, and loved, and that they existed. That my family were real.
And they were right. I have always mattered. I am important. I am not alone. I can never lose who I am.
And, if you're out there thinking that you can't go on. That you don't matter, or that you're not important, or that you're alone, or if you're not sure who you are any more. This is my message for you. And if you ever need help, we're here for you. All of your favourite characters. All of your friends. All of your family. And, if you need it, me.
