Noticeable?

Do you ever wish you could just disappear, just to see who would notice? I wish for that everyday, hoping it would come true, though I know it won't. People have constantly given me false hope, saying I could be anything, saying I can do it all. But in reality, that's never the case. Ever since I was quite little, that was my biggest dream, to become invisible in one way or another. So that no one would be mad at me, blame me for everything, call me names, break my heart.

I stayed up in my bed, the clock almost stricking midnight. I stayed awake, my mind not shutting up about life and its every move, its toll on everyone. I made my routinely wish of disappearing for a day or two to see if anyone would even care hours earlier, and my mind eventually flickered to the subject. So, I lied there, frowning at the ceiling with my arms folded neatly over my chest.

I couldn't take it anymore; my eyes were as tired as hell and all I really wanted was to go to sleep. And soon enough, I got that wish.

 

Once I had woken up in the morning, I wasn't in the comforts of my bed that would usually sit in the middle of my room. I was lying on some kind of fluffy pillow, and when I stared at it for a while, it started to look a lot like a cloud. I gave a puzzled look as I stood up and scanned the area. I was in a barren place, the floor covered in "clouds" and nothing over the horizon that you could see (Some fog was covering everything in sight.). I looked down at my feet to notice that my socks were gone along with my pajamas from last night I was wearing. Instead, I was wearing a white cloak that appeared to be made out of silk, or anything softer if it's even possible. 

I had absolutely no idea where I was, and unlike how my parents taught me, I wandered off in some random direction. How long was I walking? I don't know. It felt like a mile in ten minutes.

Then in the far distance I was able to see, I saw an opening of sorts in the cloud floor. I jogged towards it, arriving at the edge of the hole in seconds. I peered down into it, and what I saw shocked me. I saw people, more specifically, my family and friends and people I care for. But what shocked me even more, bringing me close to tears, was that none of them had even noticed I was gone. And if they had noticed, they didn't particularly care.

Did my wish come true? Did I really disappear from everyone's lives, none of them caring I was gone?

Questions were left unanswered as I fell to my knees, my eyes stinging of tears.

 

 

This was originally a random story starter, but when I read it over a little, I started to think it was more of a short story. Then it became a short story! :D 

Which is right... now... 

This was uploaded on my other account @LollipopRainbows, and I've decided to make it into a longer story here on this account! :)
