The Nobody

Chapter 14

I stare at him when he asks me his question I honestly don't know if I am ready for this or not. I think about all of the things we talked about last night. I think about what he told me and where he came from. A big part of me just wanted to run away and hide I just didn't want to deal with this huge burden. That seems to sit on my shoulders and here I thought things were going to go well for me. 

I should have known better the moment I dreamt about that world there has got to be others who can see this world as well. If I was told to trust these people I hardly know then they must know something about that world. I just got to find a way to say it where they don't think I am really crazy and get me locked up. I take a deep breath and I looked at Andy. 

"To be honest I don't think I can handle this or ever be ready but I want to at least try. I just hope they won't lock me up in the loony bin," I say. Andy looks at me with sympathy in his eyes. I can't help but get a little annoyed. I don't want anyone to show me sympathy that's the last thing I need nor want. I finish eating my breakfast and I stand up. 

"I think I will start heading out for school. I will meet you there when your ready," I say standing up and leaving the house. I saw his face before I started to head out. He looked really shocked on what I said. I don't stick around to see what he was going to say. It isn't long before I get to school and I see Sam. I walk up towards him and he smiles when he sees me. 

"Hey there nobody I was wondering when I was going to see you again. Do you have a moment where we could talk alone?" He asks me. "Sure I needed to talk to you anyways we can go to the art room. No one is in the room at the moment so we will have privacy in there," I say to him. He smiles and we walk to the art room and I close the door and I take a seat. 

I wait for him to speak up when it looked like he wasn't going to talk at all that's when he begins to speak up. "You know the plan that we were telling you about? Well we came up with a better plan. We want you to hear it and tell us what you think," he says with a smile. "Alright I have time after school so we can do it then. I also have something I want to tell you and the others. I am not sure how you guys will handle it. You guys would probably think I was crazy," I say with a sigh. 

Sam just looks at me and at first it looked like he was about to say something to me. But he doesn't say anything and he just nods his head. We set up a time and place after school. We go our separate ways. I was just about to head to my first class when I end up running into Andy. I look up at him. "So looks like we will be meeting up with them after school and they apparently have something to show us," I say. 

He just nods his head and walks away I look after him wondering if I did something wrong. But I don't recall saying anything to upset him in any way. I go to my next class and I think about what I did wrong. It wasn't long before school was half way over when I run into the gang again at lunch. They smiled at me real big and seemed to sweep me up in their group. 

We all end up eating lunch together I look over to where Andy is sitting at and he just stares at me. Then he looks down and goes back to eating. I couldn't help but feel a sharp pain go through me when he does that. 

*Andy's point of view* 

I couldn't help but feel a little jealous when I look over and sees what Ruby is doing. I couldn't help but feel like she didn't really trust me at all. The moment I talked to her about what was going on. She seemed to be distant with me I was also shocked on what she said before she left for school. I was not expecting her to be so honest with me like that. All I wanted to do now was get her to trust me. But it seems like no matter what she won't. I saw the look she gave me when I told her my story.

I knew she was going to meet the others after school. I wanted to talk to her before that happened. I will wait until after lunch to talk to her. I go back to eating and before long lunch is over with. I wait for her when I see her I gently grab her arm and tug her into an empty room. She seems to get a little mad but then she sighs and sags her shoulders. 

I could tell that she was waiting for me to talk to her. "Did I do something wrong to piss you off in any way?" She asked me. She took me by surprise and I don't say anything for a little bit. I take a deep breathe. "No you didn't do anything wrong I just feel like no matter what I do or say I don't think you will ever really trust me at all," I say looking down at the ground. 

Her eyes widen in shock before she says anything. "Your right I might not be able to trust you at all no matter what you do. But a small part of me does want to trust you but you have kept some stuff from me. You also have been sneaky on some of the things you have been doing. But I want to try to trust you as well. 

You just gotta give me some time. I can't be like everyone else and just trust you right away. I'm sorry its just not the kind of person that I am. So if you can't understand that then I don't see us ever being friends," she says to me. I feel a sharp pain shooting through me. But she is right and I just gotta be patient if I can't do that then there is no point in all of this is there. I think to myself. I let her go and we both go our separate ways. 

Before long school is already over and everyone meets up at the same place that we all have met before. It wasn't long before everyone is in the room everyone takes their seats and they all look at Sam and Ruby I saw a blush creep up over her face. I could tell that she wasn't used to people looking at her. Sam clears his throat first and everyone gets quiet. 

"Now I know that most of you guys know the plan but both Andy and Ruby do not. So I want one of you to tell them what has been going on. Also Ruby has something she wants to tell us all as well. So don't be rude and hear her out if no one does that then you all know the rules," Sam said with a firm voice. Everyone nods and pays attention. "Now Ruby why don't you go first on what you have to say to us. 

What we have to tell you can wait until after you speak. So you have the floor and we will listen very closely," Sam says. 

*Rubies point of view* 

I couldn't help but feel nervous I just wanted to get up and run away and not look back. But I knew that a lot of people were looking up to me and trusting me with this. I just knew that I couldn't let them down. I take a deep breath before I let what I am about to say to come out. I looked at everyone and I begin to open up my mouth.
