Her Reflection (A Business Dreams Story)

Don't read if you don't like the good side/bad side stuff, the next part will have less of it :)

(Emotional angst stuff)

"Our office..."

I step forward, into the room. Its whitewash walls seem bare and empty, the shelves lacking of any books even the desk is clear.. The shiny mahogany desk, the way light bounces off of it is spellbinding...

"boo!"

I turn around
Looking for the source
The source of the sound

"Hello there, enjoying OUR office?"

I peer round the doorframe
Nobody there
But inside I know where the sound is from
From me
From the me I don't want
Don't like
Don't need

"What was that, you don't NEED me! Of course you need me, how else are we going to live out my dreams... Sorry, our dreams?"

I stop
And stand
And stare

At the shiny mahogany desk
But it's not the desk
That stops me
Dead in my tracks
It's the reflection
The reflection in the wood
The face
Her smirk
Her blue eyes
Her long hair
He-

"Mother told us its rude to stare you know, not that we ever listened.. She never loved us, ever, she only leaches onto us now, for the mo-"

STOP!
I yell
I know its the truth
But the truth hurts
Especially
Out of our own mouth
Or should I say hers.

"Hit a soft spot with that one, didn't I"

She grins at me
With her Nasty grin
The way it works
With the dark greens
The dark
Dark
Dark
Greens of her suit
It's almost mesmerising
But at the same time scary

"We both know it's true, All she would say is, Why don't you look like her? Why don't you have hair like her? Why don't you have any friends?..."

That's not true
I have friends
Sort of
I have my boyfriend
I have...

"You have me, and that's all we need, stuff them, if they weren't there for our failures, they can't expect to be there in our success"

But, They are our family... What ever you say...

"if they were family to us, they'd have been there, fixed us when we were broken, they wouldn't have said those nasty nasty, things they did"

They were just joking around, they never meant that stuff

"sure They didn't, how can you be so sure.. I know they did, and they WILL regret it"

But...

"we don't need them, look at us, look at what we've achieved!"
