From being shocked, like her breathing and heartbeat came back to herself, Daryl suddenly appeared, like his figure was some powder blinking until his whole image was completed. Before she could speak or anything he looked away and then at the same time, Arthur called her, shaking her from her trance.

A knock was heard from the door to the room of the maiden
And I stood up, dropping my
Pen before walking over the door, turning the doorknob to
See who the person is.

"Hi mom." I said plainly with
Daryl standing at my back
Looking at what my mother will
Say.

"Hello, Isabel... Is there anyone with you?" She asked asked making my eyebrows furrowed, confused as to what my mother is asking.

"Uh, no.." I said and turned to
Shut the door closed but my mother blocked it with her hand
Preventing me to close it.

"I... Am seeing you talking to no one. Please... Tell me. Is there
A problem? Because if you are
Already seeing things I won't hesitate to bring you to a psychologist or an exorcist for
Examination. This is not for me;
It's for you hon." She said straight and the female's eyes widen in shock as I held the
Door with my hand, trembling lightly.

"O-okay. I promise I'm fine... Maybe I just need rest yeah? Y-you don't need to problematize it Okay...?" I said and shut the door closed slowly without letting my mother have a response.

I turned around and saw nobody, expecting to see the cheery blond. I let out a shaky breath and leaned on the wall letting myself slip down.

"Am I crazy? Did I became nuts
Because of not having a friend?
I do have friends, don't I?
Imaginary friend? Ahaha... I must be c-crazy..." I said stressfully, feeling depressed as I run a hand through my hair looking down at the wooden flooring, then shaking my head letting out a bitter chuckle.

Soon I drifted to a slumber on the floor having thoughts about myself losing my screw.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I awoke feeling the rays of the sun hitting me. I opened my eyes and rubbed it trying to adjust to its harsh rays. "Good morning." Daryl greeted me with his normal grin, a fang visible as always.

He's just a mere imagination...

I stood up from my bed swinging my legs to the side before heading through the
Bathroom to take a bath. "Huh?
What did just happened?" I heard him say and waited there crossing his arms until I came back wearing my uniform, holding a pair of socks.

"Hey? Are you hungry or still sleepy? Hey!" He said trying to
Get my attention, even flailing his arms around and shouting my name but I didn't respond like he was a mere dust
And continued doing my daily routine when he's still not with me.

He's nothing but fantasies...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At the school he tried to get my
Attention again by shouting so loud that even some window's
Pane crack a little making some
Students shriek or jump in
Horror.

Still, I didn't flinched by his actions and ignored him like what I do with irrelevant things on my life.

Is there even a reason for him to be with me?

I continued doing this for days and each day that had passed
The blond lost hope on trying
To get my attention and to
Be with me.

No?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Sis, what's wrong?" My
Little sister Jirah asked and I
Was snapped out of my thoughts as I continued eating. "Sis!" My sister called with a loud tone making me lightly hump and drop her spoon.

"You act very eccentric." She said
And I continued eating quietly
Shaking my head. "You don't
Need to use such phrase. It felt
Exaggerating." I said giving
A facade not waning to make a
Matter. My sister didn't do anything only to be in deep thoughts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Isabel!" A voice said and the female turned to see Lovino,
Having a small smile on his face
As he walked over me. "Hmm?" I asked, apparently crestfallen feeling myself, incomplete. Was it that?

"Will you go out with me? Please!" He said almost pleading,
With his fists clenched in hope.
"Y-yeah... I think that's fine." I
Said giving him a small smile not wanting him to feel sad with
That joyful smile plastered on his lips.

"Really? Thankyou! Let's go
After school yea?" He said and
I only nodded before walking
Away with a small wave. "I
Wish I was with Daryl instead..."
I thought to herself and
Entered my class and continued
The hours left in 'hell' on what
Students think.

My mind then drifted to what I have said. I wish I was with Daryl instead? It confused my mind but then every time his name escapes my lips, I feel a thorn prick my heart.

After school, Lovino fetched
Me and we walked outside the
School, to an amusement park.
"Fantastic. I don't know that you're that kind of person who's
Allowed to be outside without
The parents' permission." He
Said trying to lighten up the mood as they both walked, looking around the glinting lights
At the park, children running
Around and couples having dates and whatnot I didn't dare to care.

"No. Not really. Father said I have to go back before seven
Or I'll never see the light of the
Day again." I lied feeling very
Gloomy but still kept my facade
Which made my mental mind
Murdered.

"I just want to go home..." I thought to myself and followed
The Brunet who brought me
To rides and bought me food
With a smile on his face,
Seemingly deceived by the
Girl's facade and smiles I gave.

I wish it was that smile..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Well, I got to go. Just see ya." I
Said and waved goodbye to him
And I walked away hearing him
Say a goodbye before walking
At the opposite direction to home.

As I walked home she wandered somewhere because of being in deep thoughts but am aware of where I am. I texted my mother that I won't be home until eight or before that because of buying something, placing it back to my
Pocket after.

I came to a halt when raindrops landed on my head and I looked up seeing clouds turning dark and combining as rain begun to pour on earth.

I didn't know it, when salty tears started to stream down to my cheeks whilst I hang my head low, feeling myself get soaking wet.

Why is it that I feel so broken?
