☆Miracle's: POV☆

Chubby let out a long exasperated sigh.

Silence roamed amongst us, I could see the gears slowly turning in her head thinking about the next words which she would utter.

I could hear the ever present ticking of clocks making me ever more aware of the passage of time, every second reminding me of where I was and who was about to answer my question. Regret slowly washed over me after all this was Chubby, the same Chubby the smashed a chair in anger, the same Chubby who looked at me with intent to kill, so why did I ask her of all people if she 'hated me' but before I could take back what I said.

She uttered "Did you really just ask me that?" I wouldn't have heard it if we were in a crowded room, but the everlasting silence broke so suddenly that I did.

I wanted to responded and say 'Nevermind dumb questions sorry!' or 'Forget about it.' But I couldn't. It was like my mouth was sewn shut and the only thing that came out of it was air.

"Well?!" Chubby raised her tone sounding demanding and powerful.

It made my legs feel weak and I wanted to just cower away and undo this moment.

"You know what, you really want that answer?" She asked, I shot a quick look at Rainbow who remained emotionless and gazed at Chubby.

Chubby scoffed and fully turned to face us.

"Well here is the truth Miracle, yes, I do hate you and everything you are you're a coward who hides behind others to shield yourself. I hate the way you don't even have an ounce of dignity or pride." She snarled.

"You keep talking big but the moment you're backed into a corner you turn the other way and cower. You're a liar and a cheat, you come in here thinking you can get away with whatever you want. This isn't some story where you're the main fucking character and everything just goes your way, this is real life and nothing good happens to small people with lies bigger than themselves, in real life."

"You keep claiming you're almost an 'adult'? Well here is some advice for you to grow the hell up! Because one day you're going to be alone and backed into that very same corner and Rainbow, Jaza and your favourite little Sashie won't be there to hold your hand. Did you also really expect me to forgive you so easily? The only reason Sash forgave you was because you were in her position once and she took pity on you. The only reason Jaza forgave you is because despite not drinking they still act like a drunkard and have the awareness of a fly. Finally the only reason Rainbow forgave you was because they think they're better than everyone and acts smarter than us. So no Miracle, I don't forgive you. I do hate you and just because I was slightly nice to you at this moment was because I was forced to. So get over it, you're not going to be loved by every fucking person you meet."

Silence... Pure silence, the room was so thick with tension that not even a knife would be able to make a dent in it. Chubby just stood there, spite and anger seeping from her. I was stunned into complete silence trying to wrap my head around the situation and taking in what she had just spouted out. A quick look at Rainbow whose eyes narrowed but remained gazing at the very much pissed off Chubby.

I didn't know how much time had passed, it honestly felt like it had stopped all together. Chubby suddenly spun around and left the room slamming the door behind her. It echoed through the room.

My legs gave in and I fell to the floor, someone started to call my name but it all sounded fuzzy. I just kept staring at the floor.

When I felt myself being lifted up and placed against somebody's back. They carried me through the casino, the soft bouncing of every step slowly lulled me to sleep and soon enough my eyes shut.

I suddenly felt myself falling, my eyes shot open but I was in a black void with small yellow stars scattered across. I finally felt myself land on a surface, I lay there for a minute staring up at the void of stars before getting up and looking down only to be met with my reflection staring back at me. The longer I stared the more it started to morph and soon, it became a blurry mess.

I averted my eyes and looked in front of me. I saw a bunch of floating shards making way, the mirror floor split in the middle and moved apart. Slowly rising from the void, giant yellow stars formed a pathway through the forest of shards. I looked down at the first star and took a step onto it.

It was sturdy for the most part as long as I stayed in the centre of it. I hopped from star to star making my way through the clearing of shards. I took a moment to look at them when one started floating towards me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there until it was right in front of me. I reached out and touched its surface and suddenly images started appearing from it.

It took me a moment to realise these were my memories, the one which I had touched was replaying - back when I played tag in the forest with my parents after a picnic we had altogether. I smiled slightly at the happy thought.

Once it finished playing it floated away from me and joined the other shards in their cluster. I kept hopping from star to star, shards floating towards once in a while me playing back my happy memories. Sometimes it was my dad reading me a story, others were with my mother as we played a variety of games.

As I jumped over to the next star I saw something else in the distance. With chains wrapping around it. No shards were near it and I could see where they cut off and stopped appearing. Almost as if they were afraid to go near it. I started leaping across the stars at a more rushed pace. I didn't know why but it was as if it was calling me.

When I landed on the next star I realised the shards had stopped and that's when I heard it. The sound of breaking glass. I spun around to see the shards breaking into miniscule pieces and practically turning into dust. The stars behind me began shattering one after the other. I turn back to face the door and this time it's gone, no more stars lay ahead of me. I could still hear the sound of the shattering glass echo through the pitch black void. I turned around once more and saw the star behind me shatter and soon enough so did the one under my feet.

And here I was once again falling into the abyss. My hand reached out as if expecting someone to grab me and stop my descent. But no one did, suddenly Chubby's words echoed through my head Jaza, Rainbow and Sash weren't here to hold my hand. I'm alone with only myself to help get me out.

I closed my eyes and let myself fall further and further when... 'Smash!' I crashed through glass and my eyes shot open, although this time I was met with a ceiling.

I sat up and saw a blanket slowly fall off, I could also hear the shuffling of papers and a pen gliding across them.

I kept looking at my surroundings realising I was previously laying down on a leather couch. Small plants decorated the room, overall it was simplistic yet cosy and had a nice charm to it. I also spotted a small fireplace and an already lit and crackling fire.

When a voice spoke out, an all too familiar voice one belonging to a certain demon.

"Oh you're awake."
