I'm Lily, age 20........you may think I live a normal life...but I don't, I had this...curse it started when I was 10, weird things happen "ahh!" I yelled as I dropped a fading cup of water that disappeared in seconds before my mom rushed in.
when I touch something, it just fades away or crumbles apart, since then, I've been scared to touch anything, I couldn't even eat or anything and isolated myself from the outside world, I even stopped going to school, I lived alone with my mom, my dad sadly passed away when I was 2, my mom was the only one I had, she was the sweetest, kindest and most loving person in my life, she didn't take it that I was a curse, she loved me just the way I was, she homeschooled me, and sometimes even fed me, I always stayed away from her, in fear that I may touch her and she may disappear as well....but she stayed with me till the end, as I grew older, it became more difficult to live with this curse, but I slower figured out how to touch something's, like a cloth for example, not all were the same but still, I was terrified if I touched a human.....
my mom always spend time with me, she kept close so I won't feel lonely or anything, she would do all she could to help, she raised me, without even touching me, she says she missed the days where she would hold me in her arms as a kid, she brought up many happy memories, she was truly the best.
one day, I thought of going out, it was snowing, I have not touched snow for a long time....I was still scared because I didn't even step out of the house for long, my mom and I Lived in a small house and didn't own much things because if I happen to touch them, they would disappear, I can't believe I managed to stay there for 10 years without destroying half of the house......"mom...I'm heading out....." "....are you sure my dear? it has been a long time but.....are you really ready...?" I nodded she smiled "take care" i smiled and left I looked around it was all white, i slowly crouched down, I took a look at my hands....the ones that destroys anything I touched, i then proceed to take a hand full of snow, it was cold, but it was something I had touched in a long time....I was happy I was able to touch something.....but not long after, it slowly melted and disappeared.....i knew it won't be too long .......i dusted my hands and went for a walk.
coming home later was then when I discovered mom laying on the floor"mom!" i hurriedly ran to her and almost touching her when I slowly stepped back "mom..." I ran out to search for help but realised....we were the only ones who lived in this forest, I needed help....I ran as far as my legs could take me, someone... anyone! please!..... please.....
searching, I finally I found a drug store and immediately got what was needed and tried all the way I could, to take it back with me finally I managed to but when I got back.....it was too late, i dropped the bag and hurried to her, without knowing I held her in my arms, crying, she was still in there, I could have saved her, but....I touched her, and not long after....she disappeared too......
well there you go...a small thing about me..... not much.... it's been 4 years after that.......
I sat on the snow, as it slowly melted around me, just why do I always think about these things....but it is my fault....it always has been....it's all because of me....
then I noticed a small shadow infront of me, I looked up and find a small beautiful Little cat "oh...hey there Lil guy...." it came next to me and purrs and rubs it's self against my foot, I immediately stepped back, frightened, and frightening the cat "I..I'm sorry....I ...I just don't want to hurt you...." it stayed there staring at me, and then ran off. well im all alone again.....good for him.... atleast it'll be safe...from a monster like me.....
I continued with my walk when I come across someone, I'm not sure if it is really him but....he does look alike......I just stood and stared at him from a distance, one of his friend came to him calling his name "hey Kyle!" Kyle...? so it is him....I want to avoid him but....I need to go that way.... should I...turn back....or I'll just go and hope he doesn't notice, he won't recognise me after 10 years, that would be crazy! I Better hurry up
I walked a bit fast trying to pass him but then "hey, excuse me!" that must have been for someone else....I continued walking "hey your Lily right?" he recognised me that quickly!? man! I'm stuck...well I don't have a choice.... I turned around and flashed on a best smile I could make, "y..yes...?" "you are Lily! I knew I had seen you before!" he looked back at his friend "hey I'll catch up later, I'll say hi and be back ok?" his friend nodded and left. then he turned to me "i haven't seen you in a long time! how have been?" "u-umm....y-ya....i..I'm good...." I nervously answered, "why did you stop coming to school? was there something? you never told" "w..well...I... transferred.......I just moved back here....y..ya..." "oh I see, then we have a lit to catch up on! I'll formally introduce myself again!" he put out his hand and introduced himself, while I just stood there eyes slightly widened, staring at his hand "o-oh...umm....I...uhh...." I don't know what to do...I...I can't just ignore his hand....but if i touch it then that also means ........."it's fine! I get it if your nervous or anything, don't worry!" after that we chatted for a while "we should totally hang out sometimes!" he said happily, but I don't know if I can....."ya, I'll see when I have time" and so we bid eachother goodbye and went our separate ways
after that we started to hangout all the times, I'd always avoid and stay at a distance but I do not want to make him feel that I don't like him so I hang out more often, which led us being very good friends and eventually I couldn't keep the fact that I was cursed......I just had to tell him....I can't keep it forever....and if i did.... I'd have to move away....far far away.....
all the times I've spent with him really made me feel more like myself, he's so much like my mom..... hanging around in the park, I handed him a snack without actually touching it in the best possible way I can but a bit of the wrapper was faded, good thing it had two layers...."thanks!" he started unwrapping it. "hey...umm..... Kyle....." "ya?" he said as he stuffed the snack in his mouth. I tried not to chuckle and got back on the topic, "what if....you had a curse that.....like.... whatever you touch something.....it disappeared....?" "ehm??" he looked at me confused, still eating, "well.....i wouldn't actually call it a curse you know? it would just be something like...a disability.....like umm..... something you don't want to happen it still does, if i had it....i would probably tell a dear one" "well what if that dear one doesn't trust you....and then stay away the best they can, avoid you at most...." I said as I looked down, "...well... I'll just leave them be, i wouldn't trust me either" well.... he's not wrong there...."then what if it was someone you know....who had this....? what would you do..?" "someone i know? well....i would try the best I can to make up for it, like spend the best I can with them, but....what do you ask this? are you seeing anime now? *chuckle*" he then looked at me, who was a little sad, and he knew I was serious, "hey....you know you can tell me anything right...? don't worry about anything....just tell what's on your mind..." he said in a comforting way I slowly backed off a bit, he was surprised at first then understood, "Kyle....what if i told you that....it was real....? and that person who has it....is me?"
he looked at me, surprised, and then smiled and said "then i would totally be here by your side, anytime" I looked at him, not sure if what is said was true, but then he came close and slowly caught my hand, my eyes widened as I struggled to break free, but he just wouldn't let go, "w..what are you doing...!? are you crazy!? didn't you understand what I just said!?" I yelled "I did, I understood" "don't you believe me!? I'm tell the truth!" "yes, I do believe you" "t..then you know what will happen! let go!" I panicked, I dint want another person to leave me....not again....I started to tear up "please....I don't want you..to...." he just smiled and remaind calm "look at me" "no! let me go! you'll-" he placed his hand below my chin, making me look staright inti his eyes "look....has anything happened to me?" I looked at him, he...he hasn't faded....why....? I touched him.... shouldn't...."i believe you, but see has anything happened to me?" tears flowing, I said "no.." he smiled and hugged me. does that mean....I could....I could....I could......I cried in his arms, slowly reaching out mine to hug him back, "h..how did you... know about this...?" I asked still crying, "because dear Lilly.....I have experienced this before too, that is until I met you" my eyes widened as I pulled back, "your saying......" "yes, I also couldn't touch anything, but now.... I can thanks to you..." he smiled, I caught is hand looked him in the eyes, smiled and said....
Thank you....
