If You're Real

- - -

I'm in my empty room. The walls are dark and I can't see anything except a guy is standing in front of the mirror, I know he is not real because the light shines through some parts of him, creating a broken pattern on the wall, making him look supernatural. I have never seen him before.

"Who are you?" I ask him in my head. He answers back: "Call me Ray." I tiptoe up to him and look at myself in the mirror. I know that Ray is standing right next to my shoulder, but in the mirror I only see myself; he is not there. There is an empty space where he should be.
I shiver. Creepy.
"You're so pathetic," says Ray.
"You're in my head," I retort back. "Fuck off, Ray."
Surely he can't hurt me?
"If I'm in your head then how can I do this?" He grabs my head and crashes it intothe mirror, and then does it again and again. Fiery pain shoots through my head and down my ruined face, my vision is red.
I see shards of glass covered with blood everywhere. They are flying everywhere.
I try to escape him but his grip is like a vice, I am trapped by him and he punches my nose, sending sparks in my eyes and everything flashes black, leaving me feeling dizzy and faint.

"Please, leave me alone," I whisper, my voice hardly even comes out of my mouth, I sound weak and raspy. "Stop torturing me."
"I will kill you." he says menacingly. It works because I am scared out of my life.
Once again his fist makes contact with the side of my face, and I hit the mirror, hard, which makes a loud noise as the pieces of it fall to the ground at my feet.

I look at the shards of glass sticking out my hand and out of my knuckles. Jesus, it hurts so much. Blood pours thick down my arm and I can't believe how much there is, there is already a pool of blood at my feet and I feel dizzy and unbalanced.

The last thing I see before I black out is Ray's face broken and covered with blood. That face will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Notes

I like these lyrics

//Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay.// XO
