Beyond The Looking Glass
L Pov
I stand in the bathroom, getting ready for the day. Another lonely day. Another day feeling empty. Another 'average' day in my life.
With my hands clutching the sink, I brace myself and look in the mirror. The face in the mirror looked like mine, but it was too cocky. I stared into the mirror as the man in the mirror stared back.
I could see my face form a smirk but I didn't feel it. I was frowning, and as the mirror image laughed at me I scowled and turned away. I can't take my mirror image. I know that's not me behind the glass but I can't say anything, no one would believe me if I said anything.
I walked away from the mirror, it wasn't worth it anymore. I couldn't focus on this, I have school and a life. I knew I would avoid mirrors for the rest of the day but as I walked out of the bathroom, I turned my head to look at the mirror once more and I swear he winked at me. I ignored him and slammed the door shut. "What's wrong, L?" My adoptive father questioned.
"Nothing." I mutter before jamming my feet into my old chucks and walking past my 'father', Watari. I walk down the stairs, ignoring my father and his protests. Each step of mine I heard a step of my fathers. So, I made a run for the front door. Once there, I swung it open and ran down the road. I left my father staring at me from the door way, the same way I left the reflection to stare after me from inside the mirror.
I slowed my running to a jog and then walking and then I stopped altogether. Unable to breathe, I put my hands on my knees and bent over a bit. I cough and fall to my knees. I wouldn't let it win. I wouldn't let him win.
"Lawliet." The voice in my head whispered, the voice mocking me.
"You're not real." I spoke aloud, trying to be confident but falling flat and only sounding pathetic.
"Hahaha," The voices manic laughter made me want to scream. I covered my ears, even though knowing it does no good. "Oh, Lawlie, I miss you, why don't you just go find a mirror. I love seeing you're pretty little face."
"Shut up, SHUT UP!" I screamed, fully well knowing I was getting weird looks from the other students at my school walking by. I could hear their whispers, 'He's doing it again.' 'He's so weird.' 'People like him should just be locked up.'. But I didn't care what they said. I just wanted this voice out of my head. Eventually the voice ceased to talk and I got up and began walking like nothing happened.
When I finally made it to the school, I stayed up against the wall, trying to will myself the become invisible. But with my luck people looked at me until I took refuge in an empty bathroom.
I couldn't help myself when I felt the urge to look in the mirror. I knew he was there. I knew he was waiting for me, but I went anyways. I held my hand up and touched the mirror, my eyes downcast. "Look at me." He whispered and I made the worst decision of my life. I looked up slowly, and before I could meet his eyes, my wrist was grabbed and I was tugged inside the mirror...
Yes, no, maybe? Review and let me know if you like it.
