I walk around the circular building. I was here with my friends but hell if I would be able to find them again. This place is way bigger than I expected when I agreed to come months ago. It's some convention for a crap ton of things that I don't remember. I just know that not a lot of them had necessarily interested me besides some technology things and now I am stuck surveying them. They have a big area but that is actually restricted to normal patrons of the entire thing. Only VIP's which I am not but found out that my two friends are. They're great friends don't get me wrong but I feel like they would have done more to make me feel at least somewhat included in this crazy mess of things. They should at least know by now that I hate being alone and big messes of crowds. A soft sigh escapes my mouth and I stop my walking for a moment to pull out my phone. I text them for the 3rd time and just hope that they're busy and will respond later. There's a water fountain and I pause to take a drink from it, my lanyard pass hanging down. I feel a tug on my neck and notice someone grabbing my pass. "I'll take this."

"Hey! Give that back." I reach for it and they push me back the strength feels almost inhuman when they do so. In that moment, they take off running into the crowd. "Oh hell." I whisper to myself. My feet take me running after the girl and plunging into the crowd. The thoughts and actions were not in sync. My mind is still at the fountain while my feet are chasing after some girl who decided to steal my convention pass. I am able to keep up with her for a while but eventually lose her when she rushes into a VIP area. My breath is heavy as I stare down the dark corridor and I pull out my phone.

Instead of worrying about texting my friends this time, I call. I don't know how this place really works. What if they kick me for no longer having my pass? It rings and rings until finally Bree answers. "Geez Rosaleen, can you seriously not be alone for more than an hour?"

"That's not it Bree, someone stole the pass off my lanyard. It was like way too damn easy and then they ran off into the VIP area. So some chick has the pass with my name on it." I try my best to not sound as panicked as I feel.

"What?" Her voice has gotten soft.

"Yeah. It was really weird. Will I get kicked for no longer having my pass?"

"Uh don't worry about it. Meet me and Lenna at the entrance we came in. Speak to no one and hide your empty lanyard, we will have to explain later. Just be there by 5pm got it? No later than that." The call ends before I can ask them any questions about it. I tuck the empty lanyard chain down my shirt and look around. My breath has become a bit steadier but not by much and now I have to find my way around this gigantic group of people back to where I came from. Boy do I feel so lost right now. I allow myself to regain breath from the chase I did. I remember there was some kind of shield cross combo around the entrance we came from and every entrance seems to have a different pattern over it. Seems like it.

I start walking back the way I had ran from, trying not to seem overwhelmed. My eyes roamed over some of the products and I got distracted looking at one just called reset. It confused me but at the same time I am intrigued by it. My feet have stopped moving in front of that exact stand. "Are you interested in it?"

"What is it?" I ask softly.

"A way to reset one's day if something has essentially gone wrong. Kind of like a second chance. Well more than just one chance. You would be the only one to remember anything at all though."

"Woah you must be joking with me."

The guy running the stand laughs. "Nope I have tested it I swear."

"Well I wish you the best of luck with running your stand sir." For that moment I had forgotten my friends advice not to speak to anyone. Quickly, I turn to walk away.

"Wait, what's your name?" The guy asks.

Hesitantly I turn around, not noticing my empty lanyard coming back out from my shirt. I walk back up to him. "It's Rosaleen."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Clement, but I would suggest tucking that empty lanyard back into your shirt." The last part of his sentence is barely a whisper. "Don't get caught with no pass alright? Stay safe."

"Thank you." I reply softly, tucking the dumb thing back into my shirt and continuing to make my way along. I guess he knows the same thing that Bree and Lenna do. There's a small VIP glint on his badge when I look back at him before going around another booth that will block his out. He is staring right at me with a sad look on his face when I see him. The face stays in my mind as I continue forth, watching for the entrance I came in from. Finally, I see the original water fountain I got my pass stolen from. That seemed way too long of a walk to just now be passing this. Then again this place is really big. To calm my hurting throat, I walk up and take the drink. I swear out of the corner of my eye I see the lady come next to me again. Nothing is there when I lift my head though so I pass it off as paranoid. It's only 3:30 when I make it to the entrance, my friends nowhere to be seen. They told me to get here by five and now I am here and they are not. There's a VIP area entrance nearby and I move myself slightly behind the wall so anyone exiting cannot see me.

I stay in a state of silence and hiding as I wait for the slow approaching of 5pm. It gets to 4 and I become extremely hungry. At the same time, I don't want to get caught and my lanyard slip out again. I don't know how long it is after 4 when I hear a voice behind me. "Trying to go somewhere?" It's the girl again.

The hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I whip my body around to face her. "Stay away from me." I tell her, trying to sound as confident as possible.

"You can't go anywhere, you'd miss the big event." She says taking a step towards me. I move back to keep the same distance between me and whoever this girl is. "I found the target." She states into a walkie-talkie.

With those words I take off running once again. I hope to outrun her or confuse her. I run with my face staying facing front and I turn back to look only once. My eyes landed on Clement instead of fully looking back. He's watching me with wide eyes and I turn away from him. I run until there's nowhere left to run to. The place, despite being circular in shape, does not connect to the other side like I had hoped it would when I kept running rather than trying to hide. I slam my back into the wall as the girl stops in front of me. "What do you want from me?" My breath is ragged and heavy, but falls into a slight rhythm as I try to catch it.

"Just you. The entire reason I stole your pass to begin with. You've been chosen for the event, come on. It starts at 5 and we will be cutting it way too close." She grabs my arm and instead of fighting her I just follow along, completely defeated by now. The entrance she had run in with pass is closed, so we start to head all the way back to the one that was so close to being able to leaving and just have to watch my exit fade.

I don't know what's meant to happen to me; I don't really understand what is going on either. My feet drag on the floor, lifting them not really being important to me. I watch the stands and then in the distance see the one with the word 'reset' on it. My eyes shoot up, trying to get Clement to see me in the crowd of people. He does and he has those sad eyes again. Without a second though I start to mouth words to him. "Shield entrance. Friends. Tell them." I hope he understands it and he keeps his eyes on me, nodding. A small sense of relief goes through me. There's no reasoning as to why I trusted this one man that I talked to for probably less than a minute. Part of me, couldn't help it though. I needed someone to trust when I was being dragged by some lady to go to some event because I am some target. What could I have done differently to have changed this? I will never ever know. My eyes stay on him until I can no longer see him anymore.

We walk past the entrance I was hiding in moments before. The VIP entrance is covered in like a blue carpet and I'm lead past the security, no questions asked. My stomach felt more and more sick as we advanced, the normal convention center lights fading just a few steps into the place. It reminds me of the black holes I have heard of, absorbing the light cast into them. The grip on my arm starts to hurt after a bit of walking. I don't dare reach for my phone, just keep my arms loosely at my side and trudge forward. My mind seems to want to run away from the situation, getting distracted by every little thing. There's no way I know how to calm my panicking mind but to appease it by looking in every direction but that of the girl keeping a tight grip on my arm. For the first time in 10 minutes and hundreds of feet of twisting hallways, we stop. There's another person in front of us. "This was your target?"

"Yes sir, for the event. I hope it works."

"It?" I think to myself. Well that makes this way more demeaning than it had been earlier.

"Good job on your part. It's pretty for sure." They take step closer to me and I close my eyes as I feel him grab my hair. "It smells good too so that's a bonus."

That is what makes me feel so creeped out, I impulsively take a step back. "I am a damn she and you can keep your greasy hands off of me." I swing around and punch the girl holding me in the gut with some sort of confidence and take off running back the way we had come. I take the route as best I can and somehow make it back to the entrance. So damn close.

Right as I'm about to peek out, a hand yanks my hair back. I get slammed into the wall. The only thing that leaves my mouth is a deflated squeak. I see a guard appear around the corner as the creep is standing over me on the ground. The guard instantly whips around as someone I guess tries to enter the VIP area. "Sorry you can't enter at this moment, please go to the other entrance down the way."

"I have to get in this one. Immediately." The voice makes me want to cry and I almost cry out but the murderous look from the creep keeps me silent.

"No can do, something is happening right now that prevents you from going in this entrance." The guard is being really stern towards Bree. No way she will get past him.

The creep leans down to me. "Now I highly suggest that you stand up and come with me or your body will meet another wall." Silently, I stand myself up and walk in front of creep. I don't dare look behind me as I walk, messing with the fabric on my dress as a distraction. "You can test everyone else all you want but I would definitely not test me again." He tells me when we get back to where we were before. The chick is waiting for us there too. "Keep it in line next damn time. Get it ready."

"Yes sir." She grabs my arm again and leads me somewhere. I don't really know. My mind honestly hurts quite a lot, I just feel defeated. More so than before. My back is flaring in pain as we walk. She ties my hands in front of me with rope. It makes my wrists itch because it gets really tight. I threw up once before something is put over my eyes. Kind of pointless when I have already seen so damn much. "Don't touch anything, don't do anything. You'll be taken care of don't worry." The way she says her words is slightly terrifying, it makes not being able to see even more chilling. So much time passes but nothing hits my ears. Silence and blindness is exhaustingly alarming to feel at the exact time. Basically, I am blind, deaf and so trapped I'm lost in a submarine on the bottom of the ocean; lost with nowhere to turn.

It's weird how lucky you realize you were before something that happens, happens. That probably doesn't really make sense but at the same time it's the truth that hits like a knife to the gut, killer. A small amount of light hits the mask over my eyes. The sound of cheers hits my ears ever so faintly. Whoever that is, sounds a million miles away from me. The words of an announcer are mumbled to my cloth covered ears and it bugs me. How do they sound so far if this is just cloth. They have to be like right in front of me. Suddenly the mask is lifted from my eyes. I blink rapidly, getting my eyes to adjust to the sudden change of light. The cheers are even louder. "As you can see, her blue eyes sparkle in the light. Just as promised." The announcer calls.

That's it. I don't think I will ever trust my friends to take me anywhere ever again. Now I think I am being sold to the highest damn bidder. I should have tried to run again. My eyes search the crowd now in front of me, looking to see if my friends are in this room too. They have got some damn explaining to do if I ever get to talk to them again. Some freaking auction is why I'm up here and I now freaking know why they didn't want to me to get a stupid VIP pass, this was something I was not supposed see. Not supposed to know about. They did get one thing right, I love technology. I was harsh with beginning thoughts for sure. It's my idea just as much as it was theirs to invite me to it to begin with. Maybe at the start I wanted to believe I had someone to blame if anything went wrong while they were gone. Things went way out of hand. I spot Clement first, my friends right behind him. Lenna looked like her face is a bit puffy. Clement holds up a sign. "And we have 500,000 now!" The announcer exclaims.

I am watching Clement with the most intense gaze possible. I don't know what the hell is going on and I am hoping to the heavens that if I have to get bought by someone it will be Clement. My stomach hurts so bad because I am clenching it in hopes I can stop any stomach pits from forming again. I don't want to break, not on this stage full of so many people just watching me. It's about to end when someone calls out. "5 million." Why, why, why, why, why? Why did it have to be him? My heart breaks as the announcer immediately calls the end to it. Freaking creepy guy, of course that is my luck. I suck in a breath as curtains close in front of us. The announcer rudely pushes me off the stage and creep is somehow already there to greet me. We start to head back the same way we entered originally into this place and he cuts the rope from my wrists. "Don't try to run missy."

"I don't think I really have a choice now do I?" I mumble softly. No response exits his mouth and we continue to walk the twisted hallway. He goes slow as if enjoying the moment that he bought a human being as an object. We get closer and closer to the entrance and I notice 3 people I recognize quite well. Clement has something in his hands that looks like the product that was on his stand. He holds it out to me and we luckily pause right there for creep to talk to someone.

I grab the device. It's hard to describe but I will try my best. It's made of metal that has a faded copper look to it. The details are intricate. It looks rather similar in shape to a cryptex puzzle but the ends are pyramid-shaped and there's a gap separating the two portions. A small cylindrical piece cross the gap. I give him a confused look, wondering what the heck to do with this. "Just twist and then push the 2 halves together. I've done everything else with it and you know what it does."

"A second chance?" I ask softly.

"A second chance." He nods. I do exactly as he says and a bright flash happens. Everything around me fades away and for a moment so do I.

I jolt awake in a mode of panic, sweat on my brow. The reset object is in my hands as I sit up. It wasn't a dream, none of it was a dream. Carefully, I stand, grabbing a bag to tuck the object into and take with me. My body hurts like I was slammed into a bunch of walls repeatedly. I shake out my hands and run to the restroom real quick. There's a light formation of a bruise on my back. I take a deep breath and do the best that I can to stay absolutely calm. I have another shot at this and I just have to make sure I don't mess the damn thing up. Though I will be the only one to know that I am doing a repeat. Let's hope it goes well. "Come on Rosa, we need to get going if we want to be there on time. You'll have like the entire day to just look at the products that they display out for people to possibly buy." Bree calls out to me.

"Sounds good." I say softly, putting my lanyard around my neck. "No VIP?" My voice has a joking tone to it.

"No it's a bit different being a VIP. Sorry but maybe next time. There's still a lot that you can look at outside of the main part so don't worry." Lenna hugs me as we walk outside our small apartment. Luckily the place isn't too far from our shared apartment. The travel isn't far and I can get through things easily. It would probably be better to stay home but I have the overwhelming feeling to meet Clement again. The one who's giving me the chance to redo everything. Not having him my life I feel would be disrespectful to someone who doesn't even know me at this current moment. We walk into the place and go to the left like we had before hand. It is one of the biggest bouts of deja-vu ever. Maybe that's because I am doing the exact same thing. I've repeated that a lot in my mind but it's not everyday that you get a second chance at things. My second chance is to keep everyone safe. One of my fears is that if I don't come back to do this, my friends might end up in the place i just escaped from. I can't let that happen at all.

"Hey Rosa, we are going to go into the VIP area for a few hours and leave the rest up for you to see. Stay safe alright and have fun." Bree tells me, giving me a hug before her and Lenna walk off. That was different than last time. Last time they just walked away from me. Interesting. I buy a bottle of water this time to keep with me.

The feeling of Reset on my leg comforts me in a way that also frightens me. I tuck my pass into my shirt, not wanting to take a chance with it. The bottle is held tightly in my hands and I don't realize I've fully stopped until someone taps my shoulder. "Hey miss are you okay?" Clement... I turn to him and look at him for a moment just not too long to where it could be considered creepy.

"What? Yeah, just, there's so many people. Trying to get used to it." I offer him a light smile.

"Well maybe I could try to help? I don't necessarily like big crowds either if I am being honest. I'll show you my product." He gives me a light smile and walks away a bit. A smile hits my face and I follow after him back to his stand for Reset. Of course it's the same one I have tucked inside my bag but I still need to know more about it. It had been set up for me. "So this is it. It can give you like a second chance at something from a day. Just a day though. Any more and I felt like it could be too dangerous to one's body. Just this one can take a bit of a toll on the body to be honest. Nothing too bad though I swear."

This morning makes a whole lot more sense now. "So, how do you use it?" I ask, picking it up carefully. It's closed like it obviously should be and looks even more confusing than the one I was handed... um... last night? Gosh phrasing is gonna be hell for sure.

"Well the little circular pieces on it keep the device locked in place for the moment so that it cannot be accidentally set off. You have to turn each of the 6 dials until they click and then it pops apart. It also goes in a pattern of up down up down in the way you turn the dials. So anyone who gets drunk can't really operate the thing. Then from there it's a simple twist of the pieces in opposite directions and then push them back together. Gosh that sounds more a mouthful saying it out loud. I hope I didn't lose you." He smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of his head.

"No, no not at all. I got it, that's actually super helpful. What's your name?"

"Clement. It's nice to meet you... uh..."

"Rosaleen. It's my first time being here. I have a love for technology but this looks so different."

"Well it's not just necessarily technology. More like interesting inventions by unknown creators like myself. Do you like it?"

It's not like I can really say no now can I? "Yeah it's super cool." Talking to someone you already met is a bit weird if they don't remember you. "It was super useful to me too." The words slip out before I can catch myself.

"What?"

Quickly, I set it back down. Crap crap crap. "Nothing, have a good one." I push myself into the large crowd, disappearing into them within an instant. I head all the way down to the wall that separates this with where I started. Sitting down I pull out Reset and mess with it carefully. It's important that I make sure I know how it works if I end up having to reset today again. Reset is a mesmerizing piece of work that I honestly wish I knew more about how it works. I wish I could know how it resets my day over. I've always been a curious mind I guess, just have never necessarily messed with inventing anything. Don't think I have the imagination for it honestly.

"Holy crap." The sudden sound of his voice scares me so much I almost drop it onto the ground.

"I um..." I scramble to reset the thing and put it back into my bag.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He comes up and sits next to me. My mind is eternally panicking right now. I wasn't expecting confrontation. I don't know if I messed anything up or not by talking but it certainly feels like I did.

"How are you supposed to tell someone, 'Hey I already have your product and I used it'? That's not something you can just have guts to go do. Especially if you are me."

He sits down next to me. "So did it work well for you?" I nod. "That's good, not a lot of people have bought it, though I could be wrong about that. Hard to remember when people get an object that resets time."

I laugh softly. "Probably." I take a drink of water to maybe quell the nerves. I don't know what the heck I am supposed to do now.

The girl from the last time walks up to us and I instantly tense up. "Clement you should probably get back to your booth." We both stand up. "Miss I'm going to need to see your pass and then get back to you. Words of fake passes going around and me and my group need to be absolutely sure."

My stomach climbs it's way up into my throat. "Alright..." I pull my pass out of my shirt and easily take it off the lanyard to pass to her. She walks away from us and I sigh softly, walking along with Clement. "I'm screwed, completely screwed again."

"So you knew and yet you came back anyways?" He asks as we head towards his booth.

"I'm worried that if I don't, a friend of mine would have to take the place. I feel like that's how nature would work you know?"

"I guess that makes sense, just call them and get out of here. If you need to use the product again, do so."

I nod and walk away from him, dialing Lenna this time over Bree. She answers almost immediately. " Hey Rosa, what's up?"

"We need to go."

"What why?"

"My pass was 'confiscated'? I guess. I don't want to be here without one."

"Can you wait until close to 5?"

I sigh softly, why 5? I'll be damned if I have to wait that long for it. "What about 4:30?"

It's her turn to sigh. "We'll be there, just be careful alright? Hide your lanyard." Call, end.

Why the heck are they so adamant about staying until 5pm? I wish there was some way I could tell them that hey if you don't get here my life will go into some creeps hands. I get the device set up in case of needed use. I walk around through the crowd and eventually down all of my water I had bought. I go to fill it up at the water fountain and someone grabs my waist from behind. They pull me back and I drop the bottle, spilling the water at my feet. Nope, no way, no how.they keep me lifted from the ground as we go towards a VIP entrance. I sure as hell refuse to meet creep again. One time was damn well enough for me. I struggle to reach for my bag, pulling out the device. I twist and push like I did last time. The bright light shines again and everything fades out of sight. I'm awoken by falling onto bed. The breath is knocked out of me momentarily. I get up and get dressed. Third time's the charm. Maybe. I feel drained, my vision takes moments to adjust when I walk into the main room. Gosh, here hit's the big deja-vu. "Are you okay with us leaving you alone for most of the con?" Bree asks as we get into the car to go there.

"Can you at least hang out with me a little?" She agrees, much to my luck. We get there at 1 like we had both days before. They hang out with me until 4. I've met Clement again, got to hear his spiel on Reset again. It's nice but this time my pass doesn't even get taken, they just start to drag me into the damn VIP area again. Once again, I reset the day. My legs hurt when I wake up, like I have walked 100 miles in my sleep with them. I sigh softly as this next day starts. Once again not the outcome I want. Repeat time. This goes on for who knows how long and boy do I feel like this battle I keep going into a fight there's no way to win. I didn't go on one count of it and they decided to take Bree. It wasn't a relief as some people might think. It was someone else but it made me feel awful so I reset the day and go again. Then again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Gosh when will it stop.

Again.

My body just hurts.

Again.

I cut it way too close to not being able to turn back from it this time.

Again.

Again.

Why is it so hard to just stop this chain of events?

Stop stop stop.

Again.

I want to go back to a normal life

Again.

The bruise on my back has gotten worse. My eyes have so many bags and are starting to look bloodshot

Again.

Time to put on sunglasses.

Again. What the hell am I doing wrong? Why can't I stop it? I drag myself out of bed, dreading what is to come. I mean I could let them take Bree again but that would make my body feel worse that it already is. I take a deep breath, getting Reset ready before we even leave the house like I had been doing. Getting dressed and covering my eyes with sunglasses is fast. I'm just chucking myself into doom at this point I think. I sluggishly walk into the convention. Lenna and Bree stay around me for the most part this time. They always disappear at 4 though. At least if not sooner. I feel like I am drowning myself in a pit of Reset's but I don't want to be someone's object. I don't. Just being thought of that way bugs me internally. I walk around through the crowd of people, periodically bumping into people by accident. I don't mean to, I really don't. It's just so so hard to keep my walking super straight. I walk up to the Reset stand again and look at it. My hands don't reach for it. I love it but at the same time I know it's what's desecrated my body just as much as all the memories have. "Hello madam. I hope you'll like my invention."

"Tell me about it." My voice is hoarse. I listen to him talk about it and almost fall apart.

"Miss are you okay?" There's concern in his voice.

"What? Yeah."

"You look like you're crying. What's your name?" He asks, touching my shoulder.

That's it, I can't hold it back any damn longer. I fall apart. "It's Rosaleen, it's always been Rosaleen. It's been Rosaleen for the past 100 repeats I have had of this day. My name is Rosaleen and yours is Clement and I can't do this anymore. I can't." I set Reset on the table and turn to walk away. "I'm done, I'll accept my fate." I backtrack to the fountain to get a drink of water. My head hurts. I walk back towards Reset and pause to look at the stand. He isn't there anymore. I sigh softly and I am about to walk away when I get slammed into the ground. I hit my back on it and slide a bit. My eyes are still on Reset and I notice Clement stand. In hopes that maybe this would be different I mouth the words 'save me' to him. Last damn ditch ever before my life entirely changes. He instantly pulls out a phone as someone throws me over their shoulder. My eyes stayed glued to me and he follows a bit, putting the phone up to his ear. I can't hear him, I don't know what he's saying and at some point the guards stop him from following us into the VIP area. My head drops and the sunglasses finally fall off of my head. The way I am being held gets me light-headed and when my feet are finally on the ground I fall.

"It's pretty." I haven't heard creep's voice in so long. I really don't like being talked about like an object and it's only happened to me once. I hate it. I hate it with the deepest passion burning inside of me because I know it's exactly what I am meant to become. A hand touches my face then grabs my hair. I take a deep breath to counteract the feeling of wanting to cry again. "It smells nice too. Might have to grab it for myself honestly." He laughs deeply. "Get it ready okay?"

"Yes sir." The girl replies like she had the first time. I'm pulled onto my feet. I'm lead a bit further than I guess the initial walk and my hands get tied together. The same old mask gets placed over my eyes and wrapped around my ears. Soon, I feel myself pushed like what had happened the first time, muffled yelling voices takeover. I stand entirely still, not knowing what the hell to do. There's muffled yelling and then silence. My arms feel too weak to lift up and take the mask off of my eyes so I stay in the same scared stance.

Something wraps around my waist and I screech. Even my own screech sounds so muffled. The mask comes off of my face. "Look at all you caused. Too bad the reason they're here is about to disappear with me." Creep. No no no. I watch the cops rounding up the people in the crowd.

He spins me around and grips my arm tightly as he starts to lead us away. I look up at the sound of gun cocking. "Not so fast. Thought you would have gone fast away by now." Clement?

"No I needed to grab my prize first. Someone I don't think you're going to save mister. I knew there was someone working for me that was a part of the police force and now I know exactly who it is." Creeps hands are on my waist and his head is nuzzled into the back of my neck. It makes me shudder.

"Stop using her as cover and drop it. You're caught now take the crimes like a man."

"I would rather not. You can't shoot with it in front of me can you. It is what's keeping me safe right now. You let me leave with it and we will be completely fine."

"There's no way in hell you are getting out of this with her."

"Ooo does someone care about it? Cute. Too bad it is probably in vain. Try and take a shot at me I dare you."

"He won't but I will." Bree? My mind is flooding with so much confusion at this current moment it is stifling to me.

"Hell." A knife goes up to my throat as an instant switch. "I mean I was having fun. I didn't think so many people cared for such a weak it. Seems like I won't be having my prize." There's moments of silence happening that stretch and stretch.

"Just put the weapon down and let her go. It's time you went to prison." Clement calmly states, his eyes locked on mine.

"Fine fine. Next time prize, little miss Rosaleen." He pushes me forward and the knife can be heard clattering to the ground. Bree I guess is the one to grab creep.

I run towards Clement. "I need explanations."

"We're FBI Rosaleen." My friend tells me from behind. "Please don't hate me."

Clement cuts the rope from my wrists. My legs feel so weak right now. I almost fall over but hold on to Clement. "That requires even more explanation. If this was supposed to be some type of investigation, why did I have to come at all?" Bree is walking off with creep and I stay with Clement.

"That's a question more for her than me. I can't help with that one. I can tell you some things. Just sit down for a moment." He helps me sit down. "Your friend Bree, Lenna and I have been working together to try and take down this entire thing. It's been really hard to catch the guy who was holding you because he almost never shows himself. I'm glad I just took the whim to call it in after you came up and all of that happened." I look down at my hands. "Now we have him and you're okay. How many times have you actually reset the day?"

I yawn and sway slightly while sitting. "I don't really know, I lost track of it to be frank. I just know that I was done with repeating it and I feel so awful." I close my eyes just for a moment.

"Hey woah woah woah." His voice, it sounds so far away from me. I feel my body hit the ground. "Rosaleen." My body just feels numb all over. I think I just about wore it out entirely with everything I was trying to do. Honestly, I don't care. It's hard to tell if I am alive or not. Everything for a bit has felt like some fog-filled dream. There's no telling whether or not I will wake up, but I assume yes. I can still hear voices, they're just so far away. So gone to my mind. It's been so hard just wandering around and falling apart over and over inside. It's so hard to just take it all at once repeatedly. That probably doesn't make sense but to me it kind of does. No matter how hard they were though and even if I gave myself up at the end, not living is something I have dreaded. I will wake up, I will walk again, and I will have my life back. There will be more days than just 100 Saturday's. More time than what 100 Saturdays hold. I'm ready to live it and I just hope I will still have that option, no matter what I have to go to for that option. My friends, I know will probably push me into therapy after this and I think I'll need it. I don't know if Clement will ever talk to or see me again but I hope that he does. I hope that I keep what I have found throughout these 100 or so repeats. I want something more from that and I am so damn ready to go get it that if my spirit could live on it's own it would be walking to break everything that has stood in my way, apart. There's nothing I think I want more than living despite feeling like giving up on living the same dreaded day over and over again for who knows how long. If I could, the only thing I would change is the fact I didn't come forward to Clement sooner. Maybe things would have been different but I won't ever know. I'm also so done with damn Reset it's insane. I'm just glad that it's over.

Finally over....
