I look at myself in the mirror; still processing the information I was given. Why was I chosen out of many other possible multiverse versions of me and this world's me? Seriously, I am practically useless. Heck I bet that I won't ever be able to use this stupid magic or whatever it is necklace that appeared on me while I slept from that creepy dream land place. I swear if I did not know better, I'd think I was going insane!
I sigh and pull the topaz necklace from my pocket and examine it in my hands. How do they even expect me to give this to April without it being awkward. We haven't know each other long, at least long enough to make it pass as a authentic friendship gift. Let alone the explication of how she, myself, and six, I repeat SIX, other people we have not met yet to save the world from great evil of which I don't even know who or what it is. Nor when it is coming. She would think I am crazy. Not that I'd blame her. I purse my lips in frustration. "How can a weak scaredy cat like me even begin to be able to become a savior of the world anyways. I'm not special at all. I don't even belong in this universe." I mumble aloud to myself.
I hear a knock on the door, followed by a creaking sound. I turn my head and see this worlds version of my mother there. "Hello honey, feeling alright?" She asks with a slight worried and caring expression on her face. I force a smile and nod. "Yeah, I was just thinking about... things..." I respond vaguely. "About?" She asks coming in and sits on the bed, patting beside her telling me wordlessly to sit next to her. I swear she acts just like my mom, only she is not sick like my mother is with the possibility to die. I feel tears try to come out of my eyes but I force them back as I head to the bed and sit next to her.
I sit there and collect my thoughts for a minute before I respond to her. " I was thinking... that I need to have a little make over or something before I go to school to get myself out of this funk I have been in but I don't know for sure what I should do... or wear... to give me my confidence back... Does that sound stupid?" I tell her a reasonable excuse. Though it is not really a complete lie, cause it may help a smidgeon... even if it is a momentary one. I look earnestly at this woman whom is so like the one I know and miss the most of all from my world, watching her beaming mothers smile at me a she states. "I think I can help you with that sweetheart." I watch her as she stands up and grabs a box and hands it to me.
I arch a brow at her before I open it. My eyes widen slightly, looking at the outfit that is literally from one of the pictures I drew. "How'd..." I trail off as I look up at her in awe. "I saw one of your pictures you've been doing lately. I sent in a copy of this outfit's designs as well as a few others. I though it may cheer you up again." She tells me with love practically saturating each syllable of her words.
I feel myself shatter inside. I can't hold back my tears any more as all the pain and sorrow I have held in for so long is finally coming out. I hug her immediately, savoring her warm embrace. She may not be my mother, but she like my mom somehow is able to make me feel happy again. The gift of a mother. "thanks... mama..." I sniffle out. "Anything for you, my honey girl."
I can't explain it, but I know those who told me that this world's me is dead are wrong. Cause if she was, then why do I get this feeling she is out there somewhere? Doing thing I somehow feel if she does not stop she will hate herself forever? I don't know. But I do know is that no matter what, I'll find her and reunite this family with their true daughter. Even if it kills me cause like it or not they are her family.
And in a true family no one gets left behind or forgotten.
