Worlds Apart: Chapter 7 Back to Reality
Pain. The only thing that entered her mind as she reluctantly sat up. Her neck and back ached, and she lifted her hands to her neck, massaging, while standing up from the uncomfortable position. Opening her eyes to a squint, her jaws dropped open, and she groaned. She was back home.
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than facing all tithes pain her all alone
Her hands flew to the ground picking up the sand and shells the tide had cast away. It was true, this was real. She sank down dejectedly, scanning the beach, and closed her eyes. Her wonderful dream fantasy was woken up, and thrown into the hard, cold world of reality.
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
She got up quickly, and did the only thing that came to mind, the only thing that seemed to make her feel better. She screamed, as loud as she could, trying to forget everything that happened to her, and started running. Cowards' way out, she knew, but she had to get away, even if it meant running away from painful memories, again.
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward so
There would never be a past
All the great memories she had there, at that fateful day, turned painful, and she started to regret coming to the beach, and ever finding that horrid place. It was an empty dream to her, and that it was only softening her, making her more vulnerable, or so she convinced herself.
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
Her anger convinced herself that that was the reason she couldn't hold her tears back from just getting hurt from her so called "boyfriend". She was usually stronger than that, and maybe she was softening up too much.
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
But no. That dream was too real to be a dream, it seemed. Baralai's touch was so soft, so comforting, just taking all the pain away, and bringing happiness. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a dream after all.
She pondered a bit, and after awhile of convincing herself that this was true, (she still didn't believe that it wasn't a dream) her happy-self appeared once more, only to be drowned out by the question, 'What about my family, everyone will be worried…'
Her parents!!! Her eyes went wide, as she turned back, running as fast as she could possibly go, almost running into a car, nearly dodging a tree, and almost tripping over some stones. "Mom!!!!!"
She yelled, busting through the door, panting.
"Yes, dear? Did you have a great time with Greg?" Her mom was smiling while making finishing touches to the dinner she made. "Sorry I'm late Mom, wait…huh? Yeah, I had a great time…" she lied, but was still confused. "What are you talking about? You're early!" Her mom gave Alearie a questioning look, then smirked. "So THAT'S why you were running. You thought you were late?"
She shook her head, rinsing off her hands, and drying them on her red, checkered apron. Laughing, she took it off, and started setting the table, while Alearie eagerly helped, flushing with embarrassment.
"Alearie, what's that hooked too your jeans?" She immediately looked down, seeing a Yevon looking backpack with a tiny silver clasp hooked onto one of her jean hooks. While she was fumbling for an answer, her mom asked, "Did you buy that with Greg?" Deciding to go with that, she answered "Uh…yeah, I bought that with him." Not giving her anymore time to say anything else, Alearie scampered off.
After dinner, Alearie walked the stairs to her room. It had a nice, faint blue-ish glow to it, and she collapsed onto her bed, staring out the window. Hundreds of stars crowded her view. Remembering the backpack, she unzipped it slowly, and gasped at the sight before her. It was the gunner sphere she used. This time she was sure of it. It wasn't a dream after all. Which also meant…this sent her mind flying back to the place where she saw the universe, and heard a voice…
