Author's Note: A Christmas present to you all.

"You don't mean this?" she murmured. In her dream, He was kissing another girl. And he was doing so in a way that he'd never done for her.

"Why are you doing this? I thought that you loved me."

In her dream he laughed. "Loved you? Are you that stupid? That gullible? No one loves you. Not anymore anyway."

"But what about Parvati? Isn't she my friend?"

"She barely tolerates you. You're only her friend because she pities you."

"Pities me? You're lying. I know it."

"Have you ever noticed that no ever acknowledges you unless they need to?"

"But- But-"

"Other than you, does Parvati have any other friends?"

"No but that's because-"

"She can't find anyone else. She may have at first but she pitied you and now no one will be her friend. Haven't you ever noticed those glares she sends you sometimes? Or the fact that she seems so sad?"

She shrunk back. What he said was true. But there was no way…

"Of course it's possible. Have you ever wondered why your parents are never present? And every time they smile at you it's tight lipped?"

She moved back even further but he kept advancing and there was nothing she could do.

"Tell me, have you ever wondered why I've never told you I loved you more than the world? Why I never hugged you, kissed you in private?"

Her eye's widened.

"I see you understand now. No one ever comes to you unless they are desperate. You're useless. You're the closest option and whenever they try to leave you cling to them."

She shuddered.

"You're too clingy, too boring, too predictable, too stupid."

"You don't mean that."

"And if I did?" he challenged.

"I- I- can't believe you would do this to me. I love you."

"Well, I can't say the same for you."

Tears swam in her eyes before rolling down. One by one each time she blinked. Turning around, she ran. But his face couldn't escape from her mind. Suddenly, dark hands grabbed her and dragged her into a midst of swirling smoke. Maybe if she couldn't have her happy ending, someone else could have theirs.

Maybe, now they could finally start anew.
