This just came to my head when I was watching Shrek 2 with my folks, well, the bit when toe Fairy Godmother was singing Holding Out For A Hero and I was feeling depressed.
Its just random OKEYY?
I might do more of other songs as well :D
So, Song 1: Holding Out For A Hero, By The Fairy Godmother
Bubbles streamed from my mouth, my hand stretched as I reached out for a hand that wasn't there, recalling what happened a few minuets ago...
"You owe us"
"How do you mean?" The big guy's shadow fell over me, his three 'Buddys' beside and behind me, trapping me.
"We know your Mum does drugs, and she owes the boss money for her last pack"
I knew this, heroin was the only thing keeping her alive at the moment and she hadn't got a job, so she was spending our living expenses on drugs. Over the last few months bills had been pilling up, our small counsel flat at a chance of being taken away and me being shoved in a kid's home. But, I couldn't go, wouldn't go, Mum needed me, I was the one who had a job, working overtime to get extra money to pay for the heroin as well as the bills and the food. Mum was ill, I couldn't leave her.
To her, I was her Hero.
A Hero was what I needed now.
"I'll go and get the money then-"
"NO"
A gun was aimed at my chest, the chill of the gun froze me in fear.
"Turn around"
I did,
"Walk forward"
I did, the gun now pressed against the back of my head. We walked to the edge of the pier as the rain started to fall heavily.
"What are you doing?"
We all turned to see-
Johan Anderson, the captain of the football and track team, A* student, someone all the girls and all the guys could talk to, everyones Hero... except me.
To me, he was someone who would laugh at someone like me, someone who could intimidate you with a couple of words.
After all thats what happened on the first day of high school.
~FLASHBACK MUSIC~
I was being bullied by the same guys who are trapping me now. Mum had owed them money, and so they wanted me to give to money to them now, otherwise they would shot Mum. So I did, I gave them all the money I had that was to pay for that weeks meals (He was going to do the shopping after school). Then he came up, asking why I gave them the money, that I should have stood up for myself, HE didn't understand, HE wouldn't understand, HE who lived in a big fancy house with a big fancy car and a big fancy pony to ride, along with other exotic pets that belonged to him, HE would never understand MY situation, HE never felt the hardships of life, HE who could click his fingers and get whatever HE wanted.
Him talking to me then made me feel
small,
pathetic,
not the Hero my Mother thought I was,
just a mouse against the lion that roared at me now,
I wanted to shrink to an ant, even smaller if I could.
People were watching,
Staring
I couldn't face them all,
I couldn't
couldn't
~FLASHBACK MUSIC END~
"Why would you care?" It was a statement, a rhetorical question, not to be answered...
"Because no-one should have to suffer alone"
I blinked,
This guy,
HE knew what suffering was like, HA, Fat chance.
"That has to be the funniest thing you've ever said to me" I didn't care what happened now, I knew what was going to happen anyway.
I felt the gun prod the back of my head again,
"So, you want your brains blown out, or you could drown, or I could shoot your leg THEN let you drown-"
"I'm not fussy" My voice was plain, no emotions showed, but inside... I was terrified. It was like having your worst nightmare thousands of times over.
"hmph" There was triumph in the thugs voice, no doubt about it... but my Mothers face kept coming back, yet I could see Johan's face mixed in, I felt his gaze more than anything on my back. It added to the fear collecting in my stomach.
"Well, I think that-"
"Quick! The police are coming!"
"But how?"
"It's that blueberry head, isn't it?"
"We should finish this one off first"
"Yeah, good idea. Well, We've had fun, but now it's time for you to die"
I closed my eyes, the chill of the gun gone-
BANG, BANG
There was pain in my legs,
I looked down
Blood
My legs couldn't hold me up,
"Lets leave him now"
"Yeah, he'll fall in the water"
Footsteps started to fade,
Gravity took over
Pulling me down into the water...
Bubbles streamed from my mouth, my hand stretched as I reached out for a hand that wasn't there.
I could see something swimming towards me,
reaching for my hand,
His face becoming clear as darkness took over...
As the last of my air left my mouth...
Normal POV
"WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON?" A woman was in hysterics as she was led to her son, nothing being explained to her except that her son had been in an accident.
A door was held open to her as she saw her son, his body still damp, and a boy with teal blue hair sitting next to his bed, also wet and covered with a blanket, his face downcast.
"Judai? JUDAI? PLEASE, ANSWER ME, JUDAI?" Shaking his shoulders in a weak attempt to wake him up.
His chest wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. She held his head, stroking the chocolate hair, crying into his face.
She saw the figure sitting on the bed next to his, his downcast face covered with light teal locks. She only wanted one thing from the boy.
"How?" her voice was a shaky whisper, his head still didn't move, but she was answered.
"They wanted money, but he didn't have any, he didn't want me to help him, so I called the police. They then shot his legs and he fell into the sea, I then swam and brought him to the surface but he wasn't breathing-"
"Thank you"
His face lifted in surprise, his thoughts were interrupted as two people walked in.
"Johan, are you ok?" The taller of the two pulled him into a strong hug.
"Yeah, I'm fine Father" Johan was still staring at the woman. The other man looked at the woman too.
"Father..." The man let go of his son as he faced the woman, sudden recognition shook his face. The woman met the man's gaze.
"Haou..." She dropped her gaze, holding the body in her arms closer to her.
"What are you..." Haou gasped as he realised who the boy in her arms was.
"But-"
"I found out a week after" She couldn't hold his gaze, she had lowered her head, but you could clearly see the guilt in her eyes.
The two boys stared at their Father, then the woman. Haou sighed.
"Jehu, Johan, this- this is your mother"
The two couldn't believe it; they had been told that their mother had moved to her parent's house after some-
"That was true, I did have drug problems, but my parent's didn't want me to stay with them, so I rented a little flat downtown, I then found out I was pregnant..."
Then, the pieces of the puzzle fitted together.
"Then he..." The older of the brothers started.
"...was our... brother?" Johan finished, he couldn't take it.
Johan had thought that the boy had had childhood problems, but that was because of his Mother taking drugs, not that he was someone for the bullies to pick on.
He realised he had misjudged EVERYTHING, and that he hadn't been able to save his brother who he had met at school, and had made him TOTALLY humiliated in front of the WHOLE school, but he never knew it...
His shoulders shook as he cried into his knees, he had always wanted a little brother, he wanted to be the best big brother EVER, be his Hero, he had done what he didn't want to do instead...
"May I?" Haou asked, he wanted to hold his third son, to see how he would look beside his two other sons.
She nodded as he sat on the side of the bed, looking at the boys chocolate locks that were like his own, his angelic face matched his divorced wifes face, his features matched his two son's own features.
He looked at his son, tears spilt from his eyes.
"It was my fault, I should of found a counselor-"
"Why did you never tell me?"
"You were so angry that I didn't want you to think I had cheated on you too"
Haou didn't care if she HAD cheated on him or not.
He smiled to himself, tears made their ways down his face.
"We are going to give him a excellent funeral, make it known he is a loved son and brother" Haou couldn't hold it in, he cried into the son he never met, but there was one thing he was sure of...
HIS SON WAS A HERO!
That was random, I know.
Well, there is a possibility of more songs on the way.
