POV
The hardest part was knowing that none of these were permanent, it was just my imagination but still deep in my mind i can't help but think that this is real.
Living two life's never burdened me actually i yearned for the time I can escape to my uptopia.
Lucien had told me about how different but alike both worlds were, the way he talked almost made me feel like it was real.
I didn't have to worry about anything in that world, everything was to my liking and to my rule but the reality never seem to be on my side.
Walking to school the road seem to be longer than usual, just as I was about to cross the road a car rushed past me almost hitting me. I fell down, my uniform had dirt all over it and I could hear the students laughing at me. My miserable moment is happiness to them.
After i enter school i go straight to the nurses office. I make up some lie about being sick so she lets me sleep. Finally some peace

Utopia
I wake up in my room, i rush to get ready then leaves the house and goes straight towards the forest
"Lucien!, Lucien!" I yell and I walk aimlessly trying to find him.
The forest grows darker the more I go in but Lucien is no where to be found.
" Lucien where are you?" I yell out loud
" Right behind you" whispers a voice
I let out a small scream and I try around to see Lucien there.
" H-how? I was searching for you but i-i couldn't find you" I ask breathless
I see him sitting on ground while learning against a tree with his eyes closed.
" I was right here, resting. It seems that you have lots of questions to ask " Lucien says calmly
" Y-yes I do, Is this world real? Or is it just my imagination?" I ask
" It can be real and it can be an imagination, it depends on IF you want this world to be real or not. Do you?" Lucien opens his eyes slowly and looks at me.
" Do I what?" I ask confused
" Do you want this world to be real?. Aren't you sick of being treated as an loser, aren't you tired of your parents bickering, don't you wish to be more than that?. You can be more than that" Lucien gets up from the floor and walks towards me.
" I do, i-i'm so tired of being treated like nothing, like a fool. Don't i deserve happiness?" I say with tears in my eyes.
" Ofcourse my dear you do, you deserve the world and you will have the world" he caresses my head as he smiles at me sweetly.
" What do I have to do?, To make this world be real" I ask desperately
" Now now deary let's not act rashly, you need time for that. For now let's focus on keeping you energy up " Lucien says while walking forward
" Alright, I think I have to go now" i say as I get ready to head back but suddenly Lucien holds my arm
" This soon?, Can't you stay longer?. Can't you stay with me a bit longer?" He asks with desperation in his voice
" I-i'm not sure Lucien ," sighs " i guess I can stay a bit longer " i say and Lucien smiles
Time skip

Dystopia
I slowly wake up to the nurse shaking me.
Yawns " I'm sorry was i asleep for long" I ask
" Are you sure your okay dear? You slept the whole day" the nurse asks concerned
" WHAT?! I slept the whole day!, That's not possible" i shout
" Well you did " the nurse says
I check the time and it's evening already. I only spend a few fours in utopia but how did this much time pass here.
" I better head home, thank you for allowing me to rest " i thank the nurse and leave
I rush home, I can't be late. As i enter the house the first thing i notice are the beer bottles on the floor, my heart fills with fear.
" There she is, what took to so long!!" I hear father scream.
" I-i'm sorry i-i didn't mean to stay out this late " i stutter
" Shut your mouth you bitch, your just like your mother a slut" father shouts
" I-i'm sorry--- Slap*
" I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP "
I close my eyes and empty my head. Please let him pass out or get tired. I pray as he continues to hit me again and again
Why am I even praying, the god never listens .
After a while he finally stops and i drag myself to my room. I look at myself in the mirror. Face bruised , body filled with scars . I hate this world.
Suddenly i hear the whistle. I look around to see nothing and it hear it again. It seems to be coming from outside. I peer out the window to see....
" LUCIEN?!!!. What are you doing here!!!" I ask shocked as i open the window more
" Can I come in first?" He asks and without listening to my reply he jumps up towards the window and lands outside the rail and smoothly enters the room.
" How tf did you did that?" I ask shock evident in my voice.
" Did you forget that I'm not human " he says as he looks around the room. He goes to touch my make up set
" Then what are you doing here? " I slap his hands away
" Ouch, you called me so i came " says calmly
" Sorry what? I called you? I never called you Lucien " i say confused
" Yes you did " he sits down on my bed
Suddenly he frowns and walks towards me and place his hand on my face. I move away from his face
" What are you doing " I ask
" Stay still" he places his hands on my face again and I see a weird light emit from his hands to my face, i slap his hands away
" Yah what did you do? " I ask as he points at me then to the mirror . I look into the mirror to see that my bruises have disappeared.
" H-how did you?"
" Let's just say it's one of my skills" he says as if it's nothing serious.
" Wah you are totally different from the you in utopia, I kinda liked the long black hair " as I say this Lucien seems to freeze. He looks at me with a shocked expression.
" What?, Who did you say you met?" He asks suddenly
" Uhh I met you with just a different hairstyle and eye colour, why are you so surprised " i ask confused
" Y-you met him? " He panicked
" Yes, why? " I ask
" I have to leave now " he says as he walks towards the window
" What? Aren't you gonna explain things?" I yell
" I'll explain later, just be careful alright " he warns then disappears
" What is he even talking about "
