Things didn't really start off all that weird, but boy - that sure didn't last.
My eyes fluttered open as normal. A slow, gradual build-up to waking up. I savored the sensation of being in bed, and kept my eyes closed, tossing and turning around. It was a nice, chilly day, but not too cold.
I reached over to the side of my bed where I normally kept my phone.
And, uh, it wasn't there.
So, I opened my eyes, and I was suddenly worried that I'd gone blind, until I realized it was just my hair.
Wait a minute.
There was no way I had bangs... and my hair was blue?!
So, turns out I wasn't in my room. That's one thing to worry about right away.
But what really yanked my chain was... well.
I don't know how to explain it, other than this. It was anime.
Not that I woke up in a room full of figurines and posters, and whatnot. I mean it was literally anime. I was...god dammit, I'm in an actual anime?!
I even did that cliche thing where you rub your eyes to try and restore some normalcy to reality.
Nope! Still anime.
My heart was thumping, but I barely even noticed it. I held my hands up and looked at them: they were nothing like any normal person's hands.
They were cel-shaded!
God dammit, don't look in the mirror, don't look in the mirror....
I looked in the mirror.
I was looking at a young anime girl with blueish-purple hair and purple eyes. A girl who was about fourteen or fifteen stared back at me.
Okay, okay, calm down. Calm down!
I slowly put my hands down and took a deep breath. The air smelled different. There was something about it that felt more like... home?
"Ugh," I groaned, "what's going on here?"
This isn't real. This isn't real. This isn't real.
Okay, that doesn't make it feel any better. But still.
Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in.
When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it?

"You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears.
I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips.
