Mirrors

✨Confusing Questions✨

Before any of them could be answered his hand is forced back to his side, mirror going back to normal as Kelly opens his door. She eyes the bed before her gaze lands on Tyler, confusion evident on her face, "what are you doing up sweetie? You should be resting." Her tone was nothing but sweet as always, concern lacing her features as she observes Tyler.

That's when he notices, he feels perfectly fine now. His fever is gone, no evidence of a migraine, nothing. How on earth did that happen? "I-I was just going to the bathroom mama, I feel much better now." A hint of surprise accompanies his words, bright smile adorning his naturally rosy face.

Kelly looks as surprised as Tyler feels, a hand feeling his now normal warmth and smiling a little. "I'm glad you're feeling better. Would you like to go to school tomorrow?" She runs her fingers gently through his soft hair, Tyler closing his eyes slightly at the feeling.

Tyler isn't one for missing school, loving to socialize with his friends and hopefully talk to Ryan about his conspiracy theories. "Yes, I think I can handle it," hopefully he'll get some answers to the seemingly endless questions running wild in his brain.

Troye and Jenna are huddled around a computer, turning around with surprise as Tyler greets them. "What are you doing here? You were so sick yesterday," Troye asks with confusion as he eyes Jenna with a curious gaze. He just shrugs, sitting down with the two friends. "We have a project to work on don't we?"

Jenna looks at Tyler with concerned eyes, "are you still sick? We can handle it for the day if you need to be home." Her motherly side peeking through once again. Tyler just shakes his head, brushing her off before going to work on finding some more photos on Surrealism. The images remind him of when his mirror was warping, allowing his hand to move through the object.

Could his whole body go through? Where would it lead?

Those questions were interrupted by Troye clearing his throat, "surrealism, noun, a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. Its aim was to 'resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality.' That's all I have so far." He looks to Tyler and Jenna nervously, waiting for their response.

Jenna smiles, hugging Troye lightly, "it sounds wonderful, keep it up." He brushes off her complement, looking to Tyler for his thoughts. The small boy smiles, nodding in agreement with Jenna, mind elsewhere. What is he going to say to Ryan so he doesn't sound crazy when asking? Will he know the answers to the questions or will he just bring about more?

Tyler smiles at the large group of friends sitting at their lunch table, walking next to Ryan. "Can I talk with you about something? Alone." He doesn't mean to sound so direct but he couldn't think of any other way to make it more comfortable for the feminine boy. He smiles brightly, nodding before standing up, walking to the hallway with Tyler following suit. "Whatcha need?" His smile never leaving as he speaks.

Tyler thanks the heavens that he isn't weirded out, not intending to be creepy. "You believe in alternate realities right? A conspiracy theory thing?" The shorter boy nods before Tyler continues on, "is there a reason why?" There were so many questions bubbling in Tyler's head but this one seemed to be the simplest.

"I've heard stories of people traveling into alternate dimension on this website I found. I can text you the link later if you're interested." Tyler nodded quickly, thankful for Ryan's help. The next step , finding out more about this 'alternate reality' thing and how it works.

A/n: I have no excuse for the late update other than lack of motivation. I'm ultra sorry. Thank you for reading!!
