[MOMENTS AND THE FINAL]

LISA

THE BROWN EYED GIRL WAS STILL STARING at her little self, talking to no one, but a shadow—in her vision. Lisa was shocked when Alison's name got mentioned and there was nothing in the room except little her. Lisa didn't even remember any of this happened. So, what her mom and dad told her was true, then? Alison didn't exist? It was all just in Lisa's head? But how can Lisa even made her in the very first place? How can Alison even existed? And why does it feels so real. So real to the point it affected Lisa's life in every aspect. A huge part in Lisa felt so hurted. Betrayed. Destroyed.

Is this a game? If it was, Lisa didn't even want to play from the beginning. This was so painful, even her heart getting way more hurt. Lisa felt her body boiled, still listening to the conversation between little her and Alison.

Little Lisa giggled. "You are the best person in my life! I'm so happy that we are twins!" She said to Alison.

Lisa felt a hit inside her brain. She gritted her teeth, ignoring the tingling pain in her head. She was so angry to even care about the brand new pain she felt. Just before she begin to explode, suddenly the room was changing. Again, it felt like someone just flipped the page. Lisa leaned herself on the wall because the room just started shaking. Her eyes widened in anticipation. Little Lisa didn't even feel bothered or weird. She just there sat on her bed, laughing to the nonexistent creature.

Lisa was really about to cursing, because of the angry feeling she felt now, when a baby's cry stopped her entire movement. The upset feelings got replaced by the curious one as her eyes found a baby wrapped around the mother's arm on the hospital bed. Just before she could think, a bunch of people came rushing into the room, approaching the woman on the bed.

"Mom, are you okay?" A little girl asked the woman. Lisa know that little girl. How does she always managed to make everything perfect in her life. Even she will got mad when there is a bump on her ponytail.

It's Christina.

Little Christina, to be exact.

Lisa stared in awe as she started to walk slowly towards the crowd. "I'm fine. Come! Meet your baby sister."

Lynne smiled lovingly while showed a bit of the baby's face for her children to see. Then Mike came into the room with little Lisa laughed with...something with her. Lisa watched Every smiles faded away in the room, but in a second Lynne's smile rising up again, there were tears on her eyes. Lynne definitely felt so happy seeing her daughter now laughing, smiling, being a normal kid. Even though there's a thing about it that does not seems normal at all.

"Oh my gosh!" Little Lisa exclaimed. Ignoring all the stare that given by her whole siblings. 5 years old Lisa ran to her mom when her beautiful brown eyes met the baby on Lynne's arm. Mike smiled and then lifted her up to sat on the bed with his wife and his newborn child.

"Hiii, this is your older sister, baby." Lynne said to the baby that moves around slowly. Probably still adjusting being alive in this world. "Hello, baby! I'm Lisa!"
