Fictional

It all started when my best friend recommended me a book. It was so awesome that I almost didn't sleep at night just to finished it.

I become addicted to novel. I feel so relax reading it. And when I stop reading I felt like there's something missing at me.

"You're reading again?" my best friend asked while sitting in front of me. I didn't bother to look at her because I'm busy reading.

"Yah. So don't disturb me." I said. I heard her sigh.

"Come on, Celine! Go out, have fun even just one time! You always face your books! Your growing Celine! Find boyfriend. You fictional characters won't love you back!" she said at me. I didn't listen to her.

My heart pounded when I read the story about him. A guy who sacrifice everything just for his lover.

I don't know what is this feeling. I suddenly feel strange. From then, I always read the story about him many times. I check every social media just to see him.

I didn't know.

I already fall for him.

"What? Your dream boy again?" lunch break but instead of eating I'm searching about him. Maybe the story have part two? Ugh! I wish so!

I already seen the comics and I really love. My feeling for him grow and grow.

"Celine, I think it's not normal." my best friend said. I stop smiling and look at her. What does she mean?

"It's not normal falling for a fictional characters Celine" she said. I shook my head. It's normal! What's wrong with it?

"I love him!" I said and walk away. She's my best friend but she's not supporting me!

I almost fainted when they already release the anime adaption of the story. I felt so exited. My stomach felt upside down and my heart is beating so fast.

I spend all my money/allowance to buy stuff related to him. I buy a pillow with picture of him. All my stickers is him. All my things is him. This is how I love him.

I also felt jealous when some girls talk about him and fantasies him. He's mine! Only mine!

"Celine. Look at your self. I think this is obsession. I-I know a psychiatrist" my best said one time she visited my house.

"What psychiatrist? I'm not crazy?" I said.

I dream about him last night. He love me too. He hold my hands. He hug me! He kiss me! He even call my name! He love! He love! I know!

"C-Celine.."

I didn't focus in my studies. I become more addicted to novels and fell inlove on fictional characters. I always buy accessories about them. I begun cutting classes so that I don't miss the anime adaption.

Until the day come. I stop going to school and isolated my self inside my room. I never feel the sun again. There are lot of comics, books and cds scatter at my floor. I sleep at the morning and skip my breakfast.

"Celine! Get out there! Open your door!" I didn't listen to my mother. Why? To stop me from watching my love? To stope from seeing my love?

"Celine. This isn't normal anymore. What happen to you." my mother cried.

"Mom! What are you saying!"

"Celine. Let's go to the doctor. Please."

"Mom! I'm okay! I'm not sick!" she cried. I don't why. Am I sick? Why are they all saying that I am!

I'm just inlove!

I woke up, tied. My eyes widened and look everywhere. Where am I? What happen to me? Why I am tied? Help!

"Mom! Mom! Dad! Help!" I shouted. The door open, but instead of seeing my mother a lady come in wearing a white lab gown and holding a paper.

"Good evening Ms. Celine. How are you feeling today?" she jolly asked.

"Who are you?" I asked still moving my hands and feet that is tied.

"I'm doctor Eliza. Your psychiatrist." she said and smile widely at me. I shook my head.

"No! I said I'm not sick!" I shouted. Who brought me here! I said I'm not sick! I'm not sick!

Day pass, the doctor always come and talk to me. She will feed me even though I spit the food. She's patient with me.

"Fictional characters are just in books Celine. They are not true." she said.

"I can still love them!"

"That's not love Celine. That's not love!"

"What do you know! I love them! I love them very much!"

I don't know what changes done in me. Time passes. I become more aggressive because I'm not seeing my boys. I'm not seeing my lovers.

I need to see them. I miss them! Let me out here! Let me out!

"Your mother is here." I didn't look at them. My mother traitor me. How can she send me here. I'm not sick!

"Celine.." she cried.

"Celine. Please wake up from your fantasies. Come back Celine. Please.. I can't see you like this. It's killing me." she cried. I didn't listen to her. She's a traitor! How can she! I hate her! I hate them all!

My mother didn't visit me again after that. I felt alone and lonely. Maybe she's now tired of me that's why she didn't visit.

Being a jail in this place is so frustrating. I'm just like an bird that has no feather. I'm losing my mind here! I need to get out!

"Did you miss your mom?" the doctor asked. I look at the other side.

"Y-yeah" I said not looking at her. She sigh.

"Night after she came here seeing you like that, she worked hard too earn money for your fast treatment. She want to see her daughter back again."

"What are you saying?"

She didn't answer me instead continue telling the story.

"She didn't sell your books because she know how much you love them. The company she's working in got bankrupt and almost all of the worker got fired, your mother is the one."

I don't know why tears slowly fall from my eyes.

"She got depressed. Thinking how she will earn money for your treatment. She also blame her self why you become like that. If she just take care of you and give you time more maybe you will not end up here."

M-mom.

"Last night. They found her laying on the floor.."

I look at her. Her eyes become sad and look away. My hear began beating faster and I can feel my hand shaking. No.. Please.. No.. Say that my mother is okay. Say it. Please.

"Dead"

My world shake and fall after hearing that word. I stared at the wall. No. Why?

"AHHHHHHHH!" I shouted. I shouted my pain. I shouted everything I feel. This is my fault. My mother died. No! No! This is not true! This is just a dream. Yes! This is just a dream.

I wipe the tears falling from my eyes after remembering those days. I put the flower beside my mother's tombstone.

"Hello.. Mom.. Today is your death anniversary. I'm sorry mom. I'm so sorry." I cried. I feel on my knees and cried.

I become obsessed of fictional characters that I become blind. I didn't see the people who care for me me. My best friend and also my mom.

"Yes. I'm stupid. I know that you can't fall for a fictional characters. They are just in the book. You can't hold them. Touch them. Kiss them. Hug them. You can't call thier name, because even thought how many time you will call them they will not turn thier back to face you."

"They are just fictional characters"

Did you also fell for a fictianal character?

For me? Yah. I'm inlove with a fictional characters. It's so sad because they are just fictional.

Well, how do you find the story?
