Everything seemed to pass by slowly, the wind ran through you hair as it blew upward. Your hands were lifted above your head.

The gate is crumbling

You closed your eyes, tears breaking through your eyelashes.

It's falling

You looked down to the stream, the water was getting closer to you. That was until your arm felt like it was being pulled off, the stream had stopped approaching you, every thing was still. You looked up to see who was tugging on your arm. An orange parka had struck through the neutral landscape of the bridge, his blonde hair blew along with the wind. His blue eyes stared at you, with sadness, anger, and disbelief. Due to your weight he started to get pulled down too.

You were stunned

What is he doing!?

You yelled at the blonde, your voice was raspy and and cracked while you used it. You really didn't talk for the whole week huh?

"If you keep hanging on your going to fall too!!"

"Then help me out and pull yourself up!"

His voice didn't sound scared at all, that's when you remembered he couldn't die.

His warm grasp started to move to your wrist,his weak grip slipping.

Your feet drew closer to the bottom as Kenny couldn't hold onto you much longer.
Then you remembered your mother.

She would be devastated... I'm sure she still loves me, she's just.... Stressed is all.

The stream drew nearer

And maybe... If Kenny can notice me then maybe others can too. I can finally be loved..

The thought was enough to wrap your hand around Kenny's arm and grip onto the edge of the bridge with your other hand. Your were able to make it back onto the sturdy surface, and immediately after you were caught in a similar warm embrace. Kenny, the REAL Kenny was hugging you. Tears once again welled up in your eyes, an you showed no hesitation in sobbing, returning the hug.

Surprisingly, Kenny consoled you, as he rubbed circles around your back as he also whispered 'it's okay's into your ears. You continued to cry and sob, the realization of what you were just about to do hitting you like a truck. It felt as if you were bawling into his shoulder for hours,the devastating minutes dragging themselves forward. Your cries didn't calm down,not even a bit,but the blonde held you for the five or so minutes. You were grateful for his patience.

His eyes stared into your own,the overwhelming ocean telling you he was about to say something serious.

"Why did you do that?" You unintentionally cut off the blonde,your dazed state of mind melting your awareness.

He looked at you, the serious ocean had calmed, the furious waves halted to slam against the shore.

A beach and a garden, what calming places.
You wondered if his ocean was ever coated with black before.

The dreadful air was silent, he didn't answer your question. The next words that came from his lips made you jump.

"I notice you.."

You face was blank, processing his dialogue. You let out a sob of joy when you realized, you have finally been acknowledged by a classmate. You didn't care about the lack of context, the fact that he could see you was enough.

"H-how?"

You hiccuped, as your voice kept cracking. You throat itched, anticipation eating at you.

"You're cursed like me"

I'm....cursed?

You muted out the rest of the males dialogue.

Cursed! Ha- good one! What's next? I can fly?
You thought bitterly,as you came to your own realization that this was a prank. You weren't surprised, but they really had to break your heart by ignoring you all these years?

"(Y/n)!"

But your arms were crossed, your disappointment had your patience thinning.

"I'm cursed" you deadpanned, hoping to make him admit to his stupid joke.

He could sense the sarcasm dripping from your voice, you obviously didn't believe him.

"Yes, I'm serious!"

You scoffed, he didn't have the guts to admit it. What an asshole.

"How am I cursed? If I was I think I would have noticed.. "

You were getting heated, why wouldn't he just admit to his prank! It's not that fucking hard!
He sighed, you were ready for his supposed explanation.

"Your cursed with invisibility, no one can see or notice you. That's why your left out of so many things."

"Then how can our professor and my conductor see me?"

You were ready to disprove his weak statement. Your words were laced with venom and hatred, giving him the most vile look you could muster.
He noticed you weren't buying it, so he grabbed you hand and dragged you all the way into town.

"Jump into that patch of flowers"
He ordered, looking over to the sprouting plants there stood a sign that very clearly stated.

DO NOT WALK IN

And several people watching over it, making sure no one trampled the beautiful lillies.

You hesitated, you didn't want to get reprimanded. But before you knew it Kenny had pushed you into the bed of flowers, you caught yourself thankfully. That was until you noticed both you feet were fully dug into the flower bed, crushing the petals with your converse. You froze, now you were going to get it.

You squeezed your eyes shut, several minutes past, looking over your shoulder a guard just stared through you. Not even bothering to spare you a glance. You didn't know what to feel, glad that it wasn't a prank? Or devastated, as you realized no one could even see you, in the most literal sense. You wanted to throw up all over the vibrant life around you. You hated this feeling. You wanted to go back to the garden now. You squeezed you eyes shut, tears pricking at the outer corners.

"See? I told you"

Kenny walked over to you and put a hand on your shoulder.

"HEY KID, GET OUT OF THE FLOWERS"

Kenny jumped and grabbed your hand, as you both ran like your lives depended on it.
