THE FUTURE WE DESERVE
PART 1
The door slammed wide open and a boy rushed in the room in hurry
Boy: - granpa, I'm home
The old man who had scars and burns all over his body welcomed the boy getting up from his chair
Man: - hello young boy!
But the boy retreated immediately from the man's hug: - he's been here!
Man: - what?
Boy: - my father, he's been here
The man couldn't say anything
Boy: - you let him go! You didn't help him!
Man: - he didn't want to be helped
Boy: - you didn't tell him about me
Man: - oh please he didn't deserve you!
Boy: - he is my father! And your son!
Man: - you are my only family
Boy: - but you promised me!
Man: - oh come on! It's too late for him!
Boy: - you said you would have saved them as I've saved you!
Man: - William stop! – as he tried to close the distance between them
William: -no! - and he pushed the old man hard back on his seat – if he dies I promise you I will never forgive you – and started to move to the door
CSM: - there is nothing you can do
William: - I'm gonna save them! It's time to face my destiny!
Csm: - if you go away I can't protect you anymore
William – I never wanted protection, you've used me!
Csm: - you know it's not true
William: - I need them as they need me
Csm: - William please don't go
William: - I should have changed this situation long ago; you hurt me!
William run away angry and in tears, while the man stared at the door speechless. But his scary face revealed an emotion: a tear was running down his cheek.
PART 2
The boy took his phone and dialled the number : - Monica I need your help!
Monica: - wait, what are you talking about?
William: - you could redeem yourself
Monica: - William are you ok?
William: - No! I need to reach my father, I can help him, he is sick
Monica: - William, outside is pure chaos, people are running away, we don't know where he is
William. - He's been here a couple of hours ago, now I think he is heading back to Washington, mum will try to cure him.
Monica: - I don't know. I think it is a waste of time!
William: – if you think so…leave me your car and I'll go alone.
Monica: - are you crazy? You know I can't do that
William: - so drive me there! – he has never been so determinate in his life as he is in this exact moment
