A 20 day lesson

Part 8 Truth

The next day, I go to school as usual, not letting Kazuko-nii what I’ve heard last night.

But, on my way to school, I saw Aoi-chan. I cannot believe my eyes. Aren’t she died 3 years ago in a car accident?! I froze in front of her.

“Shizuna-chan…”

“AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” I shouted.

“CALM DOWN! Shizuna-chan please, I came to tell you the truth.”

I stood there, don’t know what to do.

“Listen Shizuna, you know that I’m dead, neither than your brother. He plan to keep you here, in your dream, everything here is fake!!! This is not the reality! You must wake up Shizuna, from your dream! You’re in danger now, you are in the hospital now, if you don’t wake up from your dream you’ll die…”

“No… this is not real”

“Yes, I am telling the truth, look around you, the weather… it’s winter when you ran away from home, but now… it’s summer here, how could it be?! It’s because you are in your dream, Kazuko controls everything!” Aoi told me.

“It’s because… Shizuna-chan told me summer is the best season in the year ever.” A voice behind me said.

“Kazuko-nii…” I whispered.
