3. The World Doesn’t End Today

Eli's POV

Eli Rivers

*Blinking at the ceiling* Huh. Still here

Eli Rivers

Gremlin’s on my chest like a judgmental loaf.

She stretches — claws out.

Eli Rivers

Cool. Just puncture my lung. That’s fine.

Kitchen.

Cereal for me. Fancy salmon for her.Because royalty.

Eli Rivers

You know, you never got shoved into lockers.

Eli Rivers

Unless Aaron started bullying cats too. Wouldn’t put it past him.

She flicks her tail like she agrees.

Phone buzz. Nora.

Nora Lane

Library? 3pm. No ghosting allowed. 📲

Eli Rivers

Oh no. Human interaction.

Eli Rivers

Fine.

Library.

Nora’s got coffee, boots on the chair, attitude fully loaded.

Nora Lane

You showed up. Miracles happen.

Eli Rivers

I thought about hiding in the bathroom

She shrugs, pushes a book toward me.

Nora Lane

Read this. It’s bleak and brilliant. Like your soul.

Eli Rivers

*Reading the cover* The World Doesn’t End But Maybe It Should.

Eli Rivers

Yep. Thats the mood.

Quiet. We read. Breathe. Exist.

Eli Rivers

*Softly* Do you ever think about disappearing?

Nora Lane

*Without blinking* Yeah. But then I remember I’d miss annoying you too much

Eli Rivers

Tragic. I'm touched.

Later. I walk home. Clouds above. No rain yet.Pass the corner Aaron once called me freak on.Look the other way. Keep walking.

Its been he doesn't bothers me anymore. Thankgod. Hope he never comes back.

Bookstore. Same guy at the counter. Still unimpressed.

Find a new book. Monsters and men.

Eli Rivers

*Under my breath* Lines blur, huh?

Home. Gremlin meets me at the door like I committed a crime by leaving.

Eli Rivers

It was a normal day. No blood. No breakdowns.

Eli Rivers

Bet that disappoints the universe.

She curls up beside me.

Book open. Page one.

Eli Rivers

"Let’s ruin our hearts for fun."
