Find Her, Keep Her (CFTM Sequel)

Dear Nobody (Journal Entry 13) *NEW*

Alex

Dear Nobody,

I think it's been six or seven days since everything happened.

Everything and more since the hallway incident.

I say "think" because these last few days haven't felt real.

Time is passing but it feels like nothing is passing by at the same time.

It's felt a bit more like a daze of blurred images flashing and blazing by.

I know it doesn't really make sense, but at different points it feels like the hallway day happened so long ago.

And sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday.

Maybe it's because so much has been happening that's making it difficult to keep my days straight.

I've been using Indigo's outfit changes, entrances, and exits to log how much time's passed.

And, part of me feels like this is just some bad dream and none of it has actually happened.

But the fact is, this reality is far worse.

For so many more reasons.

I used to think a lot could happen in forty-eight hours, Nobody.

I didn't know so much more bad could happen in two.

And I'm no stranger to what can happen in the aftermath of a moment.

That nameless, faceless strangers would be what forced us to separate.

To cause this unwanted space Elias and I have been dealing with for the last week.

All those videos and pictures posted.

Plastering my deepest darkest secret for the whole world to see.

The whole world to know.

For my parents to find out.

For Elias's mom to call and stress over.

For Elias's dad to not.

Apathy and selfishness have made him blind.

Why couldn't the world be the same?

But it was mine to carry.

And Elias's to keep.

Unfortunately, the world doesn't share Malcolm King's approach when it comes to us.

Instead the whole world found out.
