What would have happened if I did things differently, what kind of outcome... would it be then?
I told those words to my self while I was being impaled through the chest by an arm, as sharp as a knife, and as long as a sword, while the finger of his other hand was going deeper and deeper into my one, good eye, completely destroying it.
"Even after coming this far, you're still unable to kill me, and after all... you sacrificed so much to come here. Tell me how does it feel?"
"...Go....tooo...HELL."
Now then, how exactly did I find my self in this situation?
It happened five years ago on a hot summer day, I was on the playground with some of my friends who decided to meet up with some girls and play various games such as truth or dare. They were probably trying to make the girls embarrassed because they were hitting puberty. I have to admit, I was interested in it my self, not because I wanted to listen to all the horny stuff they would tell us but because I was interested in a girl who was there.
Her name was Lea and I have to admit I was madly in love with her, or at least I thought I was because eleven-year-olds don't really know what love was.
During the game, it didn't go as well as the guys hoped, because the girls were as curious about the guys just as much as we were, or better say they were even more curious!
At one point it was Lea's turn to answer a question or do a dare, but the girls all knew that the guys would give them something stupid or lewd as a dare so they all went with the truth, well everyone except Lea. She was always the odd duck of the group, beautiful but you never knew what she was thinking, and that's what I loved about her, she was just like me.
When she picked dare, David told her to take off her skirt and run like a chicken. And obviously, I couldn't just sit there and watch her do that so I said to David that he should change it, but he wouldn't listen and told me to shut my mouth, or else he would send his big brother on me. The coward that I was I just sat back down and lowered my head. At the moment I did, I noticed something in a corner of my eye, and looked up for a brief moment.
I saw Lea with a smile, looking at me saying "thanks" while performing the chicken dance.
At that moment I thought to myself "I had a chance with her" and "she may like me as well", so after the game was over I pulled her to the side and told her I needed to talk to her.
She looked confused and blushed, I straight forward told her that I liked her and asked if she would go out with me, but her answer was shocking to me.
with a face, I never saw on a girl or better say a person, a face that looked so cold and so dead she replied with a NO.
After that, she went to explain to me that she isn't looking for a boyfriend right now and that she's very sorry. Afterward, she went home with a blushing face.
I stayed for a few seconds after she left I ran straight home, whereas usual mom and dad were fighting over not having enough money to pay all the bills. Whatever the reasons they told each other were, They were both lies!
After he finished his job dad went to a love hotel with our neighbor Ms. Whills who was a widow, and who he had an affair with. And mom wasn't all that great her self, after those fights she always goes to her room and spends all her money on online gambling or shopping. They tried to keep it a secret from me, but people talk... and I am a very good listener.
I got used to hearing them fight so I paid no attention to them and went to my room, which was on the second floor. After which I just threw my self on to my bed and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I was asleep but a familiar song woke me up, it was the ring tone on my cellphone, when I answered it the person who was on the other line was Finn, my best friend.
"Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting you in anything?"-Finn asked politely.
"Of course not, I was just sleeping a little, it's nothing!"
"Hey listen, I sow the whole thing that went down with Lea and you, and I was wracking my brain if I should tell you this or not, but I think you deserve to know the truth!"
At this point, I was worried because Finn sounded serious.
"Ok... so what's all this about, you don't sound like yourself."
"...Give up on Lea... I know what kind of person you are, and that you won't give up so easily but please just trust me and give up!"
When I heard him say those words I couldn't believe it, Finn was my best friend, he knows how I was, that I'm stubborn and I often do things without thinking them through!
whenever I got into trouble with older kids or someone from our class. He would always be the one to stop it and apologize on my behalf, I look up to him as my older brother, even if we're not related by blood. So the words he told me at that moment shocked me, made me so mad I couldn't think properly
"W-what! Finn your joking right, why are you telling me this, you know I like her."
"Listen I'll explain..."

Right... I wish I didn't tell him what I did, then maybe all of this wouldn't be going through my head right now. These memories... these regrets...
"I get it... you want her for your self don't you!"
I'm sorry Finn, I'm sorry I was such a Stubborn idiot.
"Why Finn... you know I like her, why are you..."
I'm really sorry Finn, I know my sorry doesn't mean jack-shit right now, but still... I really am! I only wish I could have told you that in person but now...
"I HATE YOU FINN "
-Call ended.
"I need something to eat... how could you Finn."
-just as Rin opened the door of his room and left it, a sqiking sound could be heard coming from the stairs, it were his parents and they didnt look at that happy.
"There you are Rin, Me and your dad have something to tell you!"
-He was confused by her mother's words and facial expression, at glance she seemed happy with that smile on her face but he could tell she was just putting it on for the show, that wasn't her real smile. That's because he knew how she smiles when she's really happy, wasting money and buying needless things is what makes her truly happy
"Your dad and I are having a divorce, I know this must be shocking but try to understand us."
-The words his mother said shocked him completely, even though he knew they didn't love each other and the only thing that kept them in this marriage was him a divorce was something he expected to happen one day and was prepared for it or at least he thought he was.
"wait, son are you o..." asked his dad.
"Well I was hungry but I just lost my appetite, so I'm going to sleep."
-Rin closed the door of his room and went to bed, even though he was prepared for this day to come even though he knew he still couldn't help but cry. His life was coming to an end and all he could do was cry. Rin didn't love his parents, in fact, he hated them for not showing him love and being together with him but now he hated them even more for leaving him.
-The next morning, Rin woke up an hour later than usual, it was a Saturday so he didn't have to go to school. He got dressed and went down for breakfast. just like usual, his mother was preparing breakfast for him and his father.
"Oh, good morning son, have you slept well?"
-That was the first thing his mom asked him when she saw him. She acted nicely almost like she actually cared but Rin wasn't stupid he knew she didn't even give two damn's about him and only waited for this hell she was living in to end.
What do you think!
"I guess..."
"ding, dong" -The doorbell wrong so early in the morning. Rin was surprised the mailman doesn't usually come until two in the evening. he guests what the reason was and he was correct in his assumption
"can you get that sweetie, It must be my new phone!" -said his mom from the kitchen.
"Sure!" -Rin replied coldly.
-He was correct but also wrong, after opening the door the only thing standing there was a package. A small, wrapped in brown paper with an hourglass on it. Rin was confused because there was no mailman but it wasn't so strange for him to leave the package and leave if he had a lot of work and little time, so he picked it up and took it to his mother.
"Thx sweetie, now go get your breakfast and eat!"
"ok, mom!"
-Rin took his plate with fried eggs and a piece of bread and sat down next to his father on the table. Unlike his mother his father wore his emotion on his sleeves, he showed just how little he cared about him by not even saying a single word to him in the morning or the rest of the day, unlike his mother who at least pretended to care.
"What is this?" -said his mother while holding an hourglass in her right hand.
"How shod I know! you ordered it didn't you?" -Replied his father.
"I ordered a smartphone, not a fucking hourglass!"
-The mother put the hourglass back on the table while she continued to argue with his father. These were the only moments Rin could hear his father's voice, if the two didn't fight he most likely wouldn't even know how his own father sounded.
-This was a daily assurance that he already got accustomed to, so Rin took the hourglass and turned its head so the sand started to fall, he was curious as he never before saw a real hourglass and as soon as he did that his surroundings changed. As soon as they closed their eye the next time they opened them they were at a never before seen place.
-The hard flooring he was standing on was now replaced by pale white sand, the same he saw in the hourglass. The sky was a dark black color as he saw when he looked up, he was in a place he never saw before a place that resembled a desert in the night. But he wasn't alone there, there were all kinds of people surrounding him, people who looked weird and in ways, he never saw before. They wore clothes that seemed like they were from hundreds, thousands of years old but the only two people he recognized stood in front of him and had faces full of fear and terror as they looked up.
"What, where, how?"
-He looked up towards the place his parents and the rest of the people there were looking at. It was a massive throne made out of the same sand that surrounded them, the throne looked old like it was about to collapse and swallow them. The person sitting on that throne had a chilling sensation to him. His appearance resembled that of a child with long blond hair, deep dark eyes the same as the darkness that covered the skies, and wore nothing but black robes that coved his body. The person opened his mouth and told the people gathered here.
"Welcome to the OverWorld!" -He told the people as their bodies started to shake and tremor in fear form his sheer presence.
"Now then, let the game BEGIN!"
