Chapter 1: Introduction
I blink and find myself in a starry void. Where I am, I only know one place that could look like this. I turn and see Angelina standing not far from me. She looks at me carefully, judging my mood I guess.
"What is your final decision?" she asks finally. I sigh and shrug.
"I still don't understand why you want me to choose." I tell her.
"Because that is just the way the world works." She replies impatiently. "Now what is your decision?"
I take a deep breath and look to my left. The bright white light is inviting, showing what my future could be there. I look to my right at the black light. I guess it represents the horrors that lie there. But there are terrible things everywhere. Decision time, Crystal.
"I choose-"
Hold on! That's a little too soon! Everyone will be confused! How 'bout we backtrack a bit? I'm sure this would make a lot more since. Rewind please!
"Where are they?" I ask myself, walking through the house. I open the door and look outside. I see the two girls chasing each other around, laughing happily. I smile and shake my head. It's like they don't have a care in the world. "April, May!" I call. April stops and looks to me causing May to bump into her and send them both to the ground. I don't think I've ever seen anything so cute.
WTF? Still too far! Rewind some more!
"I…" the words stuck in throat. Who knew this could be so hard?
"'You' what?" he asks. I shake my head and stand, running my hands through my hair
"I don't know." I mutter. "This isn't the easiest thing to say."
"Well, while you try to figure that out, why don't you tell me why you're here? Since you hate me and all, I don't understand why you're talking to me." He says.
"That's just the thing!" I exclaim, gripping my hair. "I do hate you! But that's only because…" I sigh and cross my arms. "Because I love you."
Grrr… It's still too far! What the hell is wrong with my rewind dude! Excuse me. Hops off the chair and goes backstage.
What the hell dude?
It keeps stopping by itself. Shrugs helplessly.
Sighs and goes back to sit in chair. Technical difficulties. Let's try it again! Rewind and do it right this time…
You never know how much you need someone or how much you love them, until they're dying right in front of you. Hot tears fall down my face rapidly and I have to control myself so I don't start sobbing.
"I can't do that." I tell her.
"Please, Crystal. I don't want what's about to happen. You know what's about to happen. Something that can't be reversed. I would hurt people that is no life to live." She says.
"I don't care! We'll figure something out! I am not going to kill you, I refuse to let you die by my hands. I refuse to let you die!"
"You know me more than anyone, we're best friends, and you of all people know I would end up killing myself anyway if you kept me alive."
"Then you do that! I'm not killing you!"
"Crystal, please!"
I'm faced with the worst ultimatum ever. Either kill her or let her kill herself.
Damn it, Cloud! I'm starting to think you're doing this on purpose. There's a snicker. Sighs, shaking head. Let's try it one more time. Rewind please. (Someone's starting to lose their cool.)
"Mrs. Brooklyn, congratulations it's a girl!" the doctor exclaimed, handing the woman the baby.
"She's beautiful." She whispered.
"What're you going you name her?" an excited nurse asked.
"Crystal…"
…Twitch. Okay that was disturbing. That has nothing to do with this! Now I'm just going to kick his ass! Cloud!
(20 minutes later!)
I'm just going to do this myself. Apparently if I want something done right I have to do it myself. Looks over. And you… stop crying you big baby! Geez, you punch, kick, bite, scratch, and threaten someone a couple times and they want to go in an emo corner. Rolls eyes with a sigh. Anyway! Like I was saying, let's go to where it all started. Oh yeah I forgot to properly introduce myself. I'm Crystal Marie Brooklyn, pleasure to meet you! Well, this all started when I was around fourteen so let's start there.
