A storey about my favourite characters, Wilt Rocks. I love him because he's so cool and kind and he loves Basketball like I do. I have made up some parts of this song up to suite the situation but I still don't own the original song.
Song Name: Bring Me to life
Artist(s): Evanescence
Wilt was never told why his girl gave him away, he always thought that she had stopped loving him. But when she comes back to explain what happened, he will do anything but listen. Will she tell him before time runs out? (in this Frankie and Wilt are both 17 and Mac is 13, this storey is based on a dream that I had so Jordan does not exist.)
Red Wilt, Black Rose
(Chap 1: Adoption Day) (Wilt's P.O.V)
"Wilt?"
"What is it Rose? You're missin' an awesome game."
"I have somethin' to tell ya."
"What's it?" I said taking my eyes (well the one that worked) from the game to look at her.
"You… You're not living here anymore. Mom's taking you to that Foster's Home place."
"What!"
"Oh, just leave me will you." She yelled, hurting my 'ears' and running away to her room.
"Why? Why is she taking me there? We're best friends… Aren't we?" I thought.
I awoke due to the noise of drums, Bloo got a drum kit with the money he saved up and there has been nothing but noise almost all night. The only people who got to sleep all night was Eduardo and Coco, they could sleep threw a bomb raid if they wanted too. But we had to wait until 4:00am, when Bloo finally fell asleep on the drumming. Now two hours later he wakes up and has to wake everyone else up too.
"BLOO! I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T STOP THAT NOW."
"Oh come on Frankie, I was only trying to wind youup, not everyone else, that was a mistake."
"I have work to do. I need to sleep if I'm going to have the strength to do all this."
"Well I don't care. You'rethe slave, not me."
"Well, maybe Wilt could help me… ok bad idea, he helps too much."
"Well I don't know why he wastes his time on someone as pathetic and bitchy as you. You're a total waste of time and care."
I can't believe how much of a bully Bloo is to Frankie. Man do I feel sorry for her. Bloo stopped drumming and went to get something to eat. With my room being right beside Frankie's room, I could hear her yelling into a pillow. "(sigh) Well, I've got nothing to do. I should at least see if Frankie's ok" I murmured.
I gently knocked on the door. "Go away." came a muffled reply.
"It's only me, Wilt." I opened the door a little to see if she was ok. "I came to see if you're ok."
"Oh, sorry Wilt... You can actually come in if you want." she said, still facing away.
"Was Bloo picking on you again?" I asked as I knelt down beside her.
"What do you think?"
"Sorry, obvious question." I sat her on her bed and sat on the floor. Her face was covered in tear streaks and her red hair was down and some of it was plastered to her face, her Jade coloured eyes were slightly bloodshot from crying.
"No I should be sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I… I'm just sick of that little blue blob, he's always bullying me. I wish he would just stop picking on me for one day, just one day, is that too much to ask?" she shouted before crying.
"No, it's not. I'll sort Bloo out, don't you worry." I put my arm around her and let her cry until she fell asleep. After sleeping a little myself I went down stairs to talk to Bloo.
"Oh hey Wilt."
"Don't you 'Hey Wilt' me." I snapped. Which shocked Bloo, but I didn't care. "Now no one has ever really seen the bad side of me, and believe me, you don't want to see it do you?"
"N.. No." Bloo nervously stammered.
"Well you may have to if you don't stop picking on Frankie."
"Ok, ok, ok, I promise I'll leave her alone."
"You better. I'll be watching you, and if I so much as hear a word that you've being doing stuff behind my back I swear…"
"Ok, I get it. You're ganna' have to chill it now dude, everyone's coming down." and with that I walked off.
I went up to my room and looked out the window. Instead of the usual Adoption day, which was the boy/girl named the type of friend they wanted and those who suited the description came to meet the kid, they had gone for a mingle picnic, so we could all have fun and really get to know our potential adopters. Everyone was already out and having great fun, except me. No one would want me, the girl who loved me dumped me here when she was little, I'm too weird and I'm… well… broken. I have a googly eye which rattles and half an 'arm' if you could really call it that.
"Um… Wilt?" I turned round to see Frankie. "Can you gimme' a hand? I have a lot of games to set up and supervise and I also need to fix the assault course and give out some food and no one will help me. Would you…"
"Don't worry. I'll help you. First we'll give out the food, and while there eating we can fix the assault course and then we can do the games."
"Oh, Thank you! Wilt, you're a life saver." She said, dragging me down to her level to give me a hug.
"No brob' Frankie. Now let's go."
Hours later we had finally finished and were having fun doing the games ourselves. "Mr Fuzz But" (or how Frankie says) thought we had done enough so we could take part in the sports games. Me and Frankie did everything together, for the flower sack race we had to be in partners in the same sack, which was the only one we lost because I kept standing on Frankie's feet. After the games we sat down together for a drink and a snack.
(End Wilt's P.O.V) (Frankie's P.O.V)
We had just finished a swimming race, we had to swim together with one of our hands tied together, kinda' like a three-legged race. I agreed to wear my hair down, Wilt seems to like my hair down. People think I have short hair, but that's only because I keep it in a bun, my hair really comes down to my waist. I enjoyed spending the day with him. He was so funny and enthusiastic, that's what I've always loved about him, ever since he came here 6 years ago. When we were both 10 (sorry if I have the maths wrong). Although I would say otherwise, I do have a crush on him. He seems like a rough monster that, if you first saw him in the dark, looks like something out of a low budget horror movie, with his missing arm and dodgy blind eye, but really he was a kind giant, who loves to have fun with his friends and has had a rough past, but he never spoke of his human much, apart from the fact that his human was first a boy who gave him to his little sister who was anorexic and suddenly she decided to send him away without giving so much as a why.
I watched him as he went to go and get the lemonade for me, as I was so tired out from both the games and work. But the lack of sleep was making me feel like I was going to collapse, which I knew was bad, but I refused to let it show, for Wilt's sake. I saw a load of boys come past the home and whistled and laughed at me in my bikini. It wasn't too revelling, just a normal bikini, it was bright red to match my hair and there were blue and white flowers in one corner, the straps were a little too thin for 'Fluff Butt's' likening, but this was counted as a day off, so I didn't have to do everythinghe tells me to do.
"Here's you drink." Said Wilt, handing me the cool glass.
"Thanks Wilt."
"You look so beautiful with your hair down." He said, in a daydream, he just stared at my face. Looking a little dopy with a dreamy look in his eyes, a big grin, and his fur dripping from his good eye to toe.
"You… You really think so?"
"What? Did I just say that out loud?" he snapped out of it.
"You can be such a spacer." I sighed
"Well I… I kinda' meant what I said." He slowly stammered.
"R… Really? Are you trying to say what I think you are?"
"Well… I don't know exactly… well maybe. Maybe what I'm tryin' to say is… I think I might have a crush on… um, you."
"Well, actually I need to tell you something. Well you see… I like you too."
"Cool. Um, Frankie?"
"Yea?"
"Well, the valentine's ball's coming up and would you like to come as maybe… my girlfriend?"
"Of course I will."
I was totally psyched, the one who always cared, always helped and was always there for me, the one who I loved had just asked me to the ball and better yet, as his Girlfriend.
Later, the place was nearly empty I watched wilt shoot some hoops in the basketball court, when a little girl came up to him. She had long, black, wavy hair and from what I could see she was wearing red contact lenses, I mean no one has naturally red irises, do they? Her cloths were ripped and dirty (although you couldn't tell much because they were black). "Long time no see Wilt." she said gloomily.
"R… Rose? What are you doing here?"
"I want to talk to you abou…"
"Well now you wanna' talk? Well It's a little to late for that, don't you think?"
"Wilt, I know that I hurt you and I'm sorry, but you have to listen…"
"No chance." He almost growled and walked to ward me. I got up and walked with him, but after a few minutes I felt weaker and it was showing. "Frankie, are you ok? You look pail."
"I'm fine Wilt." I lied before fainting.
"Frankie!"…
(End Frankie's P.O.V)
Wilt caught Frankie before her head hit the floor.
"Is she ok?" Came Rose's voice.
"Nothin' to you Rose. What are you doing here anyway?"
"I know Mac and Bloo, were having a sleepover."
"Oh, whatever. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to help my girlfriend." and he left into the house.
(Midnight)
"MASTER WILT, MEET MISS ROSE IN THE GARDEN AT ONCE!"
"Ok I can take a hint." He mumbled.
"What is it?" he asked irritably.
"I wanted to tell you why you're here."
"I know why. You just got sick of me because I was broken."
"No. You don't know the truth. Can you let me explain?"
"Ok."
"The truth is, mom and dad had another baby. Mom had to look after the baby properly, so she lost her job. Her job paid the best, but dad's job as a lollypop man hardly paid. I decided to send you here so you wouldn't suffer like I did."
"What do ya mean by that?"
"I told ya that I was going anorexic to stop you from thinking my parents were neglecting me, but with the lack of money we could only get food for three, so they only fed themselves and the baby, they couldn't feed me. Not long after I sent you here I was thrown out on the street."
"Liar. It's just another one of your pathetic lies, I know you only wanted rid of me."
"What do you mean lies? You and I both know I couldn't lie my way out of a paper bag."
"Don't ya give me that. Your parents would never do that, and if they did, then why?"
"Because I told them to, for my little sister's sake."
"I still don't believe you, just get out of here." Wilt turned to leave but Rose grabbed his hand. Before she could speak, Wilt hit her across the face, knocking her into a puddle of mud which had formed as it started to rain.
Scared, Rose ran off and hid in an ally just across the road. Wilt went back up to his room to find Mac and Bloo.
"Lost somethin' guys?"
"Have you seen Rose?" asked Mac
"Yea. She left."
"Why?" pondered Bloo.
"I told her were to get off after she tried to feed me that pack of lies."
"She wasn't lying. It's all true, we saw it ourselves. She's our friend, but she was close to suicide because of what she had to do with you and we felt sorry for her. So we set up this sleepover so she could be happy, knowing that your safe, well and that you've forgiven her. She just wants' you to know she's sorry."
"I don't think so."
"Well if you still don't buy it, maybe you could at least see how she lives now."
"Ok, ok. I'll go see her."
And with that he walked out into the street. Wilt hid behind the house on the left to the ally. He could hear stifled cries and sniffles before Rose's voice came out clear.
(Wilt's P.O.V)
"Oh, Wilt. I whish you would believe me, now I have nothing left to live for. If you can hear me, tell Mac that I'm sorry and… I love him. Goodbye."
"Wait." I called out, stepping into view, but only as a dark silhouette at the end of the ally. Rose jumped up and dropped something in surprise, it was a doll of me, one that her brother had made for her when she was born. In her hand was what looked like a small kitchen knife, her arms and wrists were covered in bloody wounds, from the way she was holding the knife I could tell what she was about to do… stab herself in the heart.
"Wilt!"
"What are you doing." I said, moving toward her, but she backed away, eventually she got too freaked out and ran. Suddenly some familiar music seemed to play automatically, surrounding us as if the whole city was pulsing with the same music, giving us no choice to sing, it was as if someone had hold of my voice to use it like a puppet.
Rose: why can't you see into my eyes?, there's no lies there. Leaving me here all on my own, Letting my hart go num.
Everything you saw, me against the demons of the world.
Until you come you endanger me,
But it's way to late though.
Wilt: Won't wakeup.
Rose: Wake me up inside,
Wilt: Can't wakeup.
Rose: Wake me up inside.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wilt: Wake, wakeup.
Rose: Bid my blood to run.
Wilt: Can't wake up.
Rose: Before I come undone.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Save me from the nothing I've become
When you had got the wrong idea,
You had just left me.
Listen to me,
Pleas save my life.
Bring me to life.
Wilt: Wake me up.
Rose: Wake me up inside,
Wilt: Can't wakeup.
Rose: Wake me up inside.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wilt: Wake, wakeup.
Rose: Bid my blood to run.
Wilt: Can't wake up.
Rose: Before I come undone.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Save me from the nothing I've become
Wilt: You've been all a lie,
There's nothing inside.
Rose: This was harder than you think,
The only one. My friend.
I wanted to explain,
But you wont listen, nor you think.
Wilt: 'What should I do?' I think when I see you're eyes,
I swear I'll never listen to you lies.
Rose: What I told you wasn't a lie,
Now you've pushed me to the end.
Wilt: The lies you've fed me all this time,
I still won't listen, so for get it, right?
Rose: Why make me lie to you when all you want is the truth?
Wilt: Wake me up.
Rose: Wake me up inside,
Wilt: Can't wakeup.
Rose: Wake me up inside.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wilt: Wake, wakeup.
Rose: Bid my blood to run.
Wilt: Can't wake up.
Rose: Before I come undone.
Wilt: Save me.
Rose: Save me from the nothing I've become.
Wilt: Ok then, alright,
I'll listen to you're side.
Rose: You won't listen to me now…
When we came to the end of the song she had disappeared into another ally. I had gotten there only in time to see her stab herself in the stomach. She collapsed onto a discarded mattress on the floor. I ran over to her, hoping there was still time to save her, she would have lost a lot of blood from the wounds on her arm alone. I put the old Wilt doll beside her (I forgot I had that) and gently placed my fingers on her bleeding wrist, there was still a pulse, but only just. She needed help, and fast. But there were no hospitals for miles, I could easily run there but with Rose in this state it would be way too risky. There was a load of medical help back at Foster's so that was the best place to go.
Not meaning to be mean I kinda' dumped Frankie with Rose while I went to see if she had any other belongings in the ally besides the doll. The only thing I could find was a pretty heavy rucksack, it was full of tapes, books and stuff like that, also a strange, hand rechargeable camcorder, one that she had invented at the age of 5. I was surprised that she still had it, and in working condition.
When I got back home I let Frankie go to bed and said that I would sort everything out. There was blood all over the place. The first thing I did was clean and bandage the cuts on Rose's arms and wrists and try to stop the stomach wound from bleeding. She hadn't damaged any vital organs on anything so she was going to be ok. Once she was all done I got started on cleaning up the blood from the floor.
Eventually I could sleep, but my dream was a little more real than what I would have liked…
