Shatter Me

by Icehale

She was a figurine in a snow globe. He was the older brother of a young girl. All they ever wanted was to be able to talk to each other. But it was never meant to be. AU Rucas. Drabble.

Icehale: For all of you who may recognize this one-shot, it was originally in a one-shot series that I had posted. Unfortunately, I realized that it simply isn't the best thing for me to be posting that many one-shots without taking a break for a couple of weeks. So what I'm going to do is post all of those one-shots separately within this week. For those you who haven't read this yet, I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Girl Meets World.

She could never do anything besides twinkle lightly in the globe.

Her home was more like a prison. Everything she was allowed to do was all restricted to the small sphere in a human girl's bedroom. The only solace she had was the girl's brother, someone who occasionally talked to her, the small figure in the snow globe.

But she could never figure out why. After all, she could never talk back or acknowledge that she had heard him. Why would he ever want to speak to the near inanimate girl?

Because he knew she could hear him. But it killed her to hear him without being able to respond, without him being able to hear a response. It killed her to see the sadness in his eyes when he remembered that she wouldn't answer. It killed her to see him walk away with the slump in his shoulders without her being able to comfort him.

It was only one day, the day when her snow globe shattered into a million pieces, glowing gold in the patch of sunlight, on the floor of his sister's room. Her frail, glass figurine nearly shattered, leaving her with a small crack on the side of her face. But yet, she did not break.

His family came home that night, the girl nearly stepping on the pieces of glass. Their father shouted a warning to her, their mother running to grab a broom to clean it up. She stared fearfully up at him and he stared back as the rest of his family ran around, trying to clean it up. They both knew that was this would be the last time they would ever see each other.

After all, she was simply now just a figurine with no snow globe. She was now just another piece of garbage. And he could do nothing to save her without being judged.
