ANDY
Slowly he came to with only darkness surrounding him for a moment. He blinked a couple of times before the blurry picture in front of him came into focus. The second the whole reality of the scene enfolded itself, a never known feeling of panic ripped through him, for what he was looking at was a sight of complete and utter despair: There he was, he himself, on the ground of the parking lot where he was just about to have what seemed like the most important dinner of his life so far. He could make out a large puddle of blood ,clearly visible next to the shining white of the dress shirt he chose to wear for that very special evening. 2 Paramedics were getting ready to use a defibrillator when he couldn´t look at this scene any turned his head slightly and that`s when he spotted her, his feeling of terror momentarily replaced by relief .It didn`t last long though and relief was replaced once again by the blackest despair possible, like a knife that`s been pushed into your heart and then ever so slowly twisted around, the kind of despair that only comes with a profound and deeply-felt love or rather the feeling of seeing the person your heart belongs to fall apart right there in front of your eyes.
Andy was heartbroken. The sight of his own body almost forgotten at the vision of Sharon coming apart between Mike and Julio who just seconds earlier had been struggling to keep her away from his lifeless body, each grabbing one of her arms to hold her back. She had been kicking and screaming his name reaching out for him with blood stained hands and arms before breaking down completely clutching her bloody hands to her face, mumbling incoherent words. When she grabbed Julios´ arm and held on to it for dear life sobbing helplessly, Andy couldn´t bear it anymore. He wanted to hold her in his own arms, whisper soothing words into her ear, tell her that he was right there as always. He tried calling out her name but there was no sound to be heard,he tried walking towards her but couldn´t step forward, on the contrary. Every time he tried to make a step forward he felt a pull back until he couldn`t fight it anymore and some invisible power was sucking him backwards, away from his love,his life.
After what seemed like hours of endless drifting in complete darkness Andy began to feel empty,as if someone had just pressed the erase button of his soul leaving him strangely devoid of any strong emotions like anger or rage or passion for that matter, instead he felt a carefreeness surrounding him, an almost unbearable lightness he hadn`t felt in….well, he wasn`t sure if he´d ever felt it before this very moment nothing seemed to matter anymore and yet somewhere deep down inside of him it also felt elusively unsettling, surreal….
