Part One

Beep! Beep!

When you're around
I get knocked down
Why must we
Go through all this everytime?
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Cutting right into me
Just like a knife
A thousand times
Thousand times
That is how
Many Times I give in to this
Driven them in
Now I wear thin
Throw me
You run away
I can see you're so scared

I couldn't help but dance in my bed to one of my favorite songs. I didn't stop my clock cause I wanted to hear the rest of the song as I got out of bed and got ready for the day. 

By the time the song ended, I was barely brushing my teeth. I grabbed my phone from my nightstand, my toothbrush still in my mouth, and turned on my NateWantsToBattle playlist.

I walked back into the bathroom with Question once again playing. I was dancing while I was brushing my teeth and almost spilled water everywhere when I was washing my face. By the time I was done, almost the whole playlist has been listened to. I walked out of my bathroom with a pair of flower leggings on, a quarter sleeved, pink shirt, and my favorite pair of socks. I chose to put my hair into a messy bun, and grabbed my laptop.

I checked my subscription box and, sure enough, Nate had uploaded a new video. It was a new cover video. He was singing a song from Steven Universe called "Here comes a thought".

Man... this boy has an amazing voice, I thought to myself. That is when I heard something inside my head.

Why, thank you, a male voice said in response.

I was a little freaked out by this, so all I said back was, Um... you're welcome?

That was nice of my brain to say that, he said.

Huh... that's weird! My brain is making me think that that I am actually talking to someone, I thought.

Wait... why is my brain acting like a real person? That is when I grew really confused.

Hold on... are you... are you real? Or just a figment of my imagination? I asked the voice.

I'm pretty sure that you are a figment of my imagination and I'm real, he said sharply.

Um... this is really freaking me out, cause I am real, I said to the voice. It was just dead silence for a moment until the voice scoffed, somehow, in his mind.

My brain is so weird, he thought.

Are you serious?! I'm real!!! And you must be real too, if you are so convinced that I am just a figment of your imagination, I snapped back.

No...... way! What's your name person-inside-my-head? He sounded so excited all of a sudden compared to the way he was sounding just a minute ago.

I'm Monica, and you are? I was nervous to hear his response.

Oh! I'm Nate. Nate Smith, he said in a very calm voice.
