Chapter 21: Your Reality
I'm not to suspicious when Monika ask to go to the literature club. She probably just missed it and wanted to see it. We drive over to the school but I have a weird feeling. Like something bad is about to happen. When we park Monika starts to look a bit less happy. Like she's regretting something or someone is telling her not to do something.
"Its the only way." Monika mumbles to herself.
"What was that?" I ask.
"Oh nothing just talking to myself." Monika says quickly.
We walk inside the school. For some reason it wasn't locked, in fact how did I even get a parking spot. We walk to the stair case for the third year classes and clubs. We walk up it together as one. We continue down to the corridor and then we get right in front of the literature club's door.
"Hey William." Monika says.
I don't like where this is going at all.
"Yeah what's up?" I say.
"I don't cut me off just let me talk okay." Monika says.
Oh no I really hate where this is going.
"Okay." I say nervously.
"You've been the best boyfriend ever. You have done so many things that brought me happiness. That's why I want you to know that I will always love you forever and I will never forget you." Monika says.
"Monika what are you saying?" I say.
Monika turns to the door of the literature club and she puts her hand on the door knob. Now I feel really bad. I try to grab her other hand but she avoids it.
"I'm sorry," Monika says, "If I never existed you would have never have gone through the thing that you have gone through. You have done so much for me and I can barley give anything back in return."
"Monika I don't care if you pay me back or not," I say, "and don't talk like that I did all that stuff because I care about you."
"Exactly why I have to do this for your own safety. So you won't get hurt anymore." Monika says.
As soon as she says that she opens the door to the literature club. The only thing I see now is the gray void with Monika in it, the door way, and where I am standing a black abyss. But something is trying to pull me back. and Its getting stronger by the second.
"Monika what is happening?" I yell.
I try to run through the door way but I can't. There is something blocking me.
"Huh that's weird I can still here you." Monika says.
"Monika what is happening?" I ask.
"The world is getting deleted and remade without me. I stretched my limits far enough in this game. I love you William I truly do. But this is the best way for you to be happy. As for me I will stay here in this void forever. Never growing old and never dying." Monika says.
"But Monika," I say. "This won't make me happy."
"Huh I didn't want to have to come to this," Monika says, "remember the promise you made back in the beach house. You aren't gonna leave unless I tell you to. I'm sorry but."
Monika starts to cry she can't hold it back anymore.
"JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO BE STUCK WITH THIS ETERNAL HELL!" Monika yells.
The pull gets even stronger I can barely hold on.
"Monika." I start to call out.
"Monika"
"MONIKA!"
She looks at me. I have tears running down my face. Something just happened in my brain. I understand everything now. This is just all a game with no happy end for Monika. It needs me to progress on. Well if thats the case then.
"Monika I love you so much," I say, "but your wrong. This won't make me happy. I won't forget about you and I'll give you an ending."
I pull out the pistol from my pocket but I don't point it at Monika. I point it at myself.
"NO, NO PLEASE!" Monika screams.
The pull almost completely stops.
"There is no point in restarting a cycle that I won't enjoy cause I will never forget about you. And I'll never be happy," I say, "That's why."
Monika screams and kicks but it looks like the doorway works the same on both sides.
"That's why," I say, "I love you."
Before anytime can pass I aim the pistol at the doorway and shoot. The bullet tears through just enough. I run to the doorway and leap through but the game is a bit quicker than I thought. The pull goes back to one hundred percent and I'm have way through the doorway.
"Monika," I say, "Take my hand. Please."
Monika doesn't know what to do. But I hear a voice
'What are you doing Monika! Grab his hand!'
Monika looks at me. I shed one single tear. I drop the gun and It goes flying into the abyss. Monika grabs my hand and pulls me in the gray void. The doorway closes. Now it is just me and Monika in the gray void.
"Why?" Monika says, "Why would you do that?"
'Well I'll explain that for you. You see I made this world so you can both be happy.'
"Hold on who are you." I ask.
'Ha ha ha funny question.'
"But why did you do this William?" Monika says.
"I thought I made that very clear," I say, "I love you and that evolves making you happy. I'm finally giving you a ending. A good fucking ending.
Monika burst into tear except this time I'm here to comfort her. I give her a hug and she looks straight at me. I finally see her in her natural state. She has beautiful emerald green eyes. A white bow in her hair. And she is my girlfriend. I don't know what she sees in me. But I see everything in her.
"Hey we finally have some alone time for a bit." I say.
"Oh shut up and kiss me already." Monika says.
We start to kis but then I hear something strange. It. It sounds like a piano. Its playing a song I recognize and I know the lyrics to it.
"Everyday, I imagine a future where I can be with you." I sing.
"In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you" Monika sings.
"The ink flows down into a dark puddle," We sing together, "Just move your hand - write your way into his heart!"
'But in this world of infinite choices'
"What will it take just to find that special day?" we sing.
"What will it take just to find that special day?"
The End
