GDL: I wrote this chapter to this story one night when I was half asleep. I didn't even realize I was writing it until I read it at the end. It's odd; many of the things in this chapter came true. Oo;
Chapter 1: The Life of the Lost Soul
It's funny how things can change in two years. For this girl and her friends, change was dramatic. Kimi and her boyfriend broke up. Paul and Melissa barely talk, and life just wasn't the same. Yet, her time on this earth was short, but she didn't know it yet.
-Change P.O.V. -
The one thing I remember so clearly from two years ago is my screwed up social life from then. I hated couples with an undying passion, yet I sought after my own love affair. The one face I remember so clear...the face of the one man who stole my heart. His name was Jesse. He was a handsome young man with beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. He even had a sense of humor to boot. But he's long gone. He's merely a memory of what could have been...
My clock radio went off. Why I kept that blasted thing I will never know. At least it's a good song, or I'd have to break it.
"How
the hell'd we wind up like this? Someday,
somehow,
Why weren't we able to see the
signs that we missed,
and try to turn the tables?
I wish you'd
unclench your fists,
and unpack your suitcase.
Lately there's
been too much of this,
but don't think it's too late.
Nothing's
wrong,
just as long as you know that someday I will...
Gonna make it alright,
But not right now.
I know
you're wandering away.
You're the only one who knows
that...
Someday, somehow,
Gonna make it alright,
But not
right now.
I know you're wandering away.
Isn't that how it always is? You hope to make things right, but it never is and never works out. Yet you promise yourself to fix it anyway.
"Well, I'd
hope that since we're here anyway,
we could end up saying things
we've always needed to say,
and end up staying.
Now the
story's played out like this,
just like a paperback novel.
Let's
rewrite an ending that fits,
Instead of a Hollywood horror."
That's exactly as I had hoped it would be for Jesse and I. I'd finally tell him, and we'd be together at least as friends. But alas, my ambivalence got in the way. I let him slip away, and now it's too late.
I turned off the alarm clock and finally got out of bed. I heard a weird staticy noise as if my TV was on. For some reason my glitchy file of Ocarina of Time turned on my T.V. I tried to control it, but it just got more screwed up. I turned my GameCube off and my TV, and went to school as if it had never happened.
Late that night, the same thing happened when I tried to go to bed. I did the same thing as before, and hopped into bed. I sang a verse from a different Nickelback song,
"Say
it for me,
Say it to me.,
And I'll leave this life behind
me.
Say it if it's worth savin'
me..."
-Change P.O.V.-
When she was finally fast asleep, 2 orbs of light hovered over her forehead, as if they were symbols of what was to come. As if they were a sign that light would come back to this girl's life...
