Obsession

"Under the house is where she lays"

I jumped onto my bed, filled with joy, she wants to be friends, I've never had a friend since forever, I look through my window, observing the outside, no Nathalie, I look at the walls that had her name and pictures covering it, she is just so beautiful. I just want to touch her, I want her to lay in my bed and cuddle with me, then I remembered one of my windows is close to hers, I walk over to it and peer out, I could see a silhouette of someone, but I knew it wasn't my dear Nathalie, they had short hair. Finally they came into full view, they had brown skin and pinkish purple hair, I don't like them, why are they at her house? she turned her head looking straight at me, we made direct eye contact, she gave me a strange look. I just stared at her, she looked away and tapped something and pointed at me, I quickly grabbed a notebook and pretended to write in it, I take a little peek to see Nathalie looking at me, I smile and wave at the beauty. She waves back with a smile, she looks back at the other girl and tells her something, I walk off leaving her to talk with what ever monstrosity that was. 

I walk downstairs, pondering on what I should do, I get bored quite easily, I look around, I could play with some paint but that could ruin my suspenders, these are my favorite suspenders, I could go outside, but what would I do once I got out there? nobody wants to play with me so whats the point? I look around once more. Still nothing, finally something catches my eye, a door, it was painted completely white, slight paint chips coming off but that's fine, I haven't went in that door in a long long time. I make my way towards it and turn the handle, It was a mini storage closet, I walk in and observe, nothing much except some old clothing, until...a brown box falls off a shelf, it had the letter E wrote on it. I curiously kneel down to open the lid, there were pictures, sort of old looking, the what used to be all white paper was now brown. I push around some more and find items, peach lipstick, a white bra, matching panties, who's were these? wait, could they be Em....Never mind, I put the box back where it originally was and stand up. Maybe Nathalie's doing something, I walk out and to the window, no sign of her, maybe next time. 

I walk into the restroom, I didn't realize how messy it was before, eh it's fine, I turn myself to face the mirror, I haven't looked at myself for a while, I looked closer at my reflection, "What?", a voice spoke, I stumble back a bit, I look around for the source, "I'm right here", the voice said again, I look up at the mirror. "You?", I ask, "of course it's me, we haven't spoke in a while ever since...", My reflection paused, I nod, "Now that you found Nathalie, we can speak again, she sure is pretty", My reflection said in awe. I nod in agreement, "You know, you should grab a new brown box, how about you add an N to you're life", My reflection suggested, "yeah, you're right I should", I said, I wave goodbye to my reflection and skip away. 

I skip out of my house and began my journey to the store, I noticed people giving me looks, but I don't mind I don't like them either, so were even. I admire the scenery, the pretty fall leaves, the cold breeze brushing against my skin, if only I could peel some of my skin so I could take in the breeze through my muscle's, then I would patch it back up with cold air in it so I could be cold forever, but that's not how it works is it? 

I finally arrive at the store, immediately, people were staring, I know I don't come out much but no need to stare, staring is rude, unless you're me, I can stare because I have a good reason, to stare at my beautiful Nathalie, but if someone dares stare at Nathalie, they won't see the end of it. 

I'm grabbing the things I need in the isle when I hear a familiar voice, a deep, beautiful woman voice, I turn my head. I knew, my dear Nathalie is here, "yes I know mom, love you bye", Nathalie said hanging up the phone, she looks up to see me, "oh hello again Gabriel", Nathalie said walking over, my heart skipped a beat when she came close. "Hello...Nathalie", I greeted, she looked at the shelves and began reaching for some glue, I go ahead and grab it, "here you go", I said, holding the bottle of glue out, "oh thank you so much", Nathalie said putting the glue in her shopping basket. I smile, I go back to getting my box and markers when I felt her hand on my arm. I look at her, "something wrong Nathalie?", I ask, she stared at my arm with a confused look, "you're scar", Nathalie said, I look down, she noticed my scar. "Oh that, a friend made me do it", I said, she looks up at me, "you're friend made you carve a letter E into you're skin? what type of friend is that?", Nathalie asked noticeably appalled at my friend's request. "It was to honor...someone", I said, she let go of my arm and backed away, "I-I apologize, I shouldn't have grabbed you're arm like that", Nathalie said, I put my hand on her shoulder, "Hey, it's alright don't feel bad", I said. I'm touching her, Oh my goodness I'm touching her, my skin is making contact with hers, it was warm and soft. I had to pry my hand away because her skin was just so touchable, "Well I better go, goodbye Nathalie", I said walking off, "goodbye Gabriel", I heard Nathalie say, whenever she said my name it sent tingles all over my body, I loved it when she said my name just as much as I like saying hers.

I arrive home, I skip into my living room and sit down, I set the box down in front of me and take the cap off my marker, I carefully write the letter N on the box lid, Now I just need to collect stuff for it, and I'm going to get them the exact same way I did last time. I stand up and carry the box into my storage closet. As I'm putting it up I notice a little trap door on the ground, I completely forgot about that place, I wonder how she's doing.

I walk over to the door and open it, a revolting smell shot into my face, but I didn't mind it, I climb down, it was freezing down there, but as I have stated before I love the cold. I look for the light switch and pull it up, The light turned on but it was quite dim, I walk towards a chair in the center of the room, the smell getting stronger the closer I got, I finally got close enough to see her. Her blond hair that dimmed over time with slight red stains in it, I lift her chin up to view her face, her emerald green eyes now grey and lifeless, her skin was pale. I take her limp hand and pull it close to my mouth placing a small kiss on her knuckles, "I found someone new, she's absolutely gorgeous, she makes me happy just being around her", I told her. I placed her hand back down.

"Now, get some rest.....Emilie"
