When me and mike got home i ran up to my room and slammed the door. I tore down pictures i had drawn over the years down of mike's personas. "Alex, what are you doing?,"mike asked running into my room and picking up the drawings "their gone mike, i know it. so what's the point," i said and continued throwing them down.
"What? No their not. There still alive, Alex. they are, there in their rooms," he said starting to put the pictures back on my wall. "prove it, how can they still be alive? i can't hear them! we share the same personas mike, they are gone! Mal is dead!," I yelled "no they're not! just stop!," he yelled and grabbed my wrists from pulling the rest of the pictures down "let me go Michael!," i yelled "they are not dead. I know it, I saw you kill them," i said, then he stopped "you what?," he asked "i saw you press the reset button and kill them, i saw you kill Mal. Mal is dead," i said "how?," he asked "I went to the mind myself and saw. Mal is dead, i saw him go," i said.
"Why are you saying that Mal is dead and the others are just gone?," Mike asks. "Because i can," i said and tried to free my self from him holding my wrist "that's not an answer, why did you say that Mal is dead?," he asked "because he is, and he was the only one who actually understood me. and you just, just killed him! you were only thinking of yourself!," i yelled. She cares about me? Nobody has cared about me Mal told mike "You actually care for Mal?," mike asked me "yes," i said.
"Alex, Mal is not dead. I'll show you, go to the mind, they are all there" Mike said "No they aren't! How come i can't hear them?," i yelled. "go to the mind," he repeated "they aren't there mike! just accept it like i have! stop believing they are!," i yelled "but they are," he said "fine, just to prove you wrong I'll go to the mind. But don't come crying to me when you realize they are gone, and Mal is dead!," i yelled and went to the mind.
The tower was standing tall in the mind. I walked up to the door and opened it, i walked up the stairs to the personas rooms. first i opened Chester's door. "see he's right there," mike said and gestured to Chester's rocking chair but i didn't see anything "no he's not, see. i told you," i said and walked to Svetlana's gym, to mike he said that she was doing cart wheels and back flips but i didn't see anything. "nothing," i scolded. then was Vito's room, "see, he's Dj-ing!," Mike yelled "why are you yelling?," i asked "Because of the loud music!," he yelled. I couldn't hear loud music and i didn't see Vito. I then walked to Manitoba's room and opened the door "okay, this time i admit he's not here," mike said as we looked into his empty room, "Oh, hey Manitoba," mike said turning around. i looked and there was nothing "mike, stop acting like a kid. there is nothing there!," i yelled "yes there is, Manitoba is standing right in front of you. why can't you see him?," mike asked "honestly Michael, They are gone. face it, Mal is dead," i said and continued up to the next and last floor at the very top. "Then how come the tower is still here if you saw it disappear and them go?," Mike asked.
I stopped, "It came back only to remind you of them losing there lives to you trying to stop Mal. Again, you only thought of yourself when you pressed that button," i said and continued up the i got to the top there was a door "Mal's room," the door read, i opened the door and looked in. I saw a 6 year old me and Mal in the room playing soldier again. we had forts up and we were trying to attack each others forts. "Alex, see. He isn't dead," mike said joining me, the memory faded and the room was again empty. I walked in, the walls were black and so was his bed with dark red pillows and a dark red desk. "yes he is mike, he's not in here. the others are gone and Mal is dead. why can't you except it like i have?," i asked and walked back to the floor below. I had also had a room in the tower so i went in and laid on my bed. It had dark green walls with brown silhouettes of trees on them, the carpet was dark green, and my bed had the same design as the walls with dark brown pillows.
The ceiling was the night sky with stars and a crescent moon. And in the corner there was a tree going to a room above, when climbed it brought you too a room that looked like a tree house. i had a small window in it to over look the mind. But for now i just stayed in my room.
The next chapter will have Mike trying to have Alex believe that his personas aren't dead. Will he avail?
