"My life is a lie, a dark place," Alyssa Pearson said, looking up at the sky with a heavy sigh. The weight of her existence was suffocating her.
"You are in a safe place, Alyssa. This is your home, and your life is as real as you are." He reassured...

"Look who finally decided to leave her wonderland and show up in the real world." I turned to find my brown-haired best friend walk to me.
"If that is the way you welcome me on my first day back in hell, you need to reconsider working on your greeting skills." I hit him on his head, that hurt my hand. He let out a laugh and pulled me in a crushing hug, literally I felt I might have a broken bone now.
"Um, I know you love me and missed me in the hallway, but Neil - I need air to breathe," I whispered. He pulled away from the hug and put his hands on my arms and examined me like I'm a delicate piece of art in some old museum.
"This hallway was never the same without you." He stated, his blue eyes radiating sheer happiness.

"Yeah, it was never dramatic." We heard a voice and saw Jamie walking to us. To be honest, I missed her the most. We've been together for so long that we know every detail about each other's lives, well knew.
"C'mon Jamie, dramatic isn't even the word." He gave her an eye. I mentally laughed, he was on my side. "It was always disastrous and chaotic." Then he laughed and winked at her.
Oh, okay. And I thought he was on my side.
"Let's go. Skye, Betty and Zach are waiting for us in the cafeteria." She holds my hand and asked to walk with her. I stopped her and she turned to face me, her dark brown eyes, always been my favourite colour.
"Do we have to be with them?" I asked, unsure of my socializing skills with people. "Can it not be just the three of us, like the old days?"
Skye, Elizabeth and Zachery are our friends, Jamie and Neil told me that. They've been to my place, visiting me every other day. I remember their faces now. First, it was awkward, when they showed up in my hospital room, Elizabeth with a giant stuffed unicorn toy and Skye with a band-aid of my name, she got it customized. It was a cute gesture.
Since then, they've been there, every next time when I needed my friends. Whenever I asked Landon or Dad to call my friends, they'd call all of the five and the house would become a party place. Dad and Landon enjoy my friends' company as well.
