Disclaimer: I do not own Demyx nor any of the Kingdom Hearts or Christianity or the song. When You Believe, from Prince of Egypt, which I used just for this first chapter.
A/N: I hope there are no flames for this story, I am a Christian and I am proud to be one so if you do not like Christians or do not respect our religion, please don't complain about it. I would love it if some people would read this with an open mind about religion. It will have some pretty interesting things happen including addiction at one point. Also, that is another thing that I am very touchy about. I have a family member who is an addict so I'm writing off of what I know. Thank you for reading, I love you all! =)
Chapter 1
Seventeen-year-old Myde Yrio was a pastor's kid and as we all know, pastor's kids are expected to be Christian almost as soon as they can talk. Well, Myde couldn't even remember when he had accepted Christ as his savior. In fact, as he had gotten older, he wasn't so sure he believed in God anymore. As he sat in the hospital by his mother's side, he couldn't possibly believe that if there was a God up there, why would He let his mother get cancer?
His mother was dying a slow, painful death, so how could a merciful deity allow her all the suffering and torment? As his mother grew paler and more spectral, his heart was hardening even more towards the one he used to call the Creator. He held her hand gently, as id she would break at his very touch and a few tears slipped out as he realized it would all be over soon. "Myde," her voice was hoarse as she croaked out his name.
"Yes, mom?" He looked down with such lovingness in his eyes. "Will you sing to me?" He nodded, as he started to sing, "Many nights we've prayed with no proof anyone could hear. In our hearts a hopeful song we've barely understood. Now we are nor afraid, although we know there's much to fear. We were moving mountains long before we knew we could. There can be miracles if you believe; though hope is frail it's hard to kill. Who knows what miracles you can achieve, when you believe, somehow you will, you will when you believe."
Her eyes closed as the song finished and her last breath was taken. Myde couldn't hold back the tears any longer as they overflowed from the depths of his emotions. The heart rate monitor went flat and the doctor rushed in. "I'll go call your father to come pick you up, you have my condolences." He could tell that the doctor didn't mean it though.
Soon, he was all alone once more; he spent the next hour sobbing his heart out. A hand fell upon his shoulder as he heard his father's voice. "She wouldn't want you to cry like this, son. She's in a better place now." 'A better place? Ha. There is no heaven,' he thought. All he had been told throughout his entire life had just come crashing down around him.
