You Had Me At Chapter One

The Beginning Of Something

You aren't able to see anything, it's just black, but you do hear voices. A male and a female. 

"There is no fourth wall..." you hear the male voice say. 

"Please, listen to me! There is a fourth wall!"

"No, there's not. You've probably been watching too much Netflix where they have all that crap about the fourth wall. It doesn't exist, those shows are just putting crap in your head," the male voice replies, anger lacing his words. You don't know how you even got here, but you know one thing. You absolutely hate it when people argue. 

"Hey, stop arguing! We can work this out!" Your yelling comes to no avail, but as if there was a spell, your voice had broken it. In a bright flash, the world in front of you comes into view. The male and female are around your age sitting at a table eating what looks to be their lunch.

Oh, you thought, I can just walk up to them and tell them to stop. You attempt to walk forward, but an invisible force is keeping you from walking up to them, although you are standing on the same floor.

That's odd, you thought again, they can't hear me, there's an invisible wall blocking me from going anywhere, and it also seems that I can't be seen or felt. In frustration and confusion you kick the invisible 'wall' in front of you and it makes a surprisingly loud THUMP! 

"Aaron... did you hear that?" The female voice says, clearly not trying to hide the fear in her voice. 

"Leah... I know I called you crazy, but I will admit that I heard it too." You look at Leah and notice her expression soften just a little, but she is visibly shaking. You desperately want to befriend these two people, but given the circumstances it won't be that easy. In experimentation, you kick the force again and to your surprise it cracks. 

Now, if I could just kick a hole in this wall... I might be able to talk to them! You continue to kick the invisible barrier, clearly frightening Aaron and Leah, but if you were to be able to talk to them, it would have to do. 

After a lot of kicking and a lot of sore toes, you manage to get a small hole in the barrier, just the size for your hand to get through, but only your hand. Leah looks over at your hand in horror, pointing and frantically tapping Aaron. 

"A-Aaron.. l-look! Over there!" Leah says, her voice violently shaking.
