From November last year
I’ve always been afraid of being in a big, empty, limitless room with absolutely nothing but white walls, kind of like in a movie. I found myself in that room I’m afraid of. The weird thing is, I’m not confused. I don’t care why I’m there, I don’t care how I got there.
At first there isn’t anyone in there. All of a sudden, I see my sister. I run up to her to greet her. She just stares at me. I brush my hand against her cheek but she turns away from me. A knife appears in her hand and she cuts her arm. I grab the knife, but then she and the knife suddenly disappear.
My brother shows up behind me. I grab to pick him up. He keeps the same smile on his face, but tears are running down his face. He tells me, "Mommy and Daddy don’t love me." He keeps his smile masked on his face. I try to hug him, but he is gone all of a sudden before I can embrace him.
My best friend taps me on the shoulder. She doesn’t look happy. I ask her what’s wrong. She yells at me, "You should know! Why do you even care?" She turns around and runs until she disappears from my sight.
I feel my mother’s embrace from behind me. I turn around and I can’t believe my eyes. There are bruises all over her body and you can tell she’s been bleeding. I try to grab her arm to comfort her, but she fades away.
My father appears next to me and kneels before me. He tells me, "Be strong, honey, be strong." He gets up and spreads his arms out, beckoning me to jump in his arms. I run to him and try to jump in his arms, but he disappears as well.
This is the only point where I wonder what is going on. Where is everyone going? Why is everyone leaving me on my own? All these people told me they loved me, and I loved them back. They’re just going to leave me behind? I realize now I’m in such a confusing place How can everyone disappear when I need them most?
