"We're losing him!"
"Get him to the ER!"
"He's going catatonic!"
"Get the defib!"
BEEEEEEEE-
You stopped in the middle of your story and turned to the source of the sound. It was the microwave from the kitchen and the sound quickly shut off.
"Sorry baby!" Your wife called from the kitchen.
You chuckled under your breath and turned to your two kids. One girl and one boy.
"It's okay honey you just ruined my story!" You called back.
"Oh you're fine."
You laughed aloud before looking at your two kids and continuing your story.
You continued by telling them about what happened after you had been shot. What had happened was that you were in the hospital for a week while both of your parents were subdued by cops. They had shot your father to death right in the courthouse after he refused the drop the gun.
The gun in question was one of the printed guns that he owned illegally. The bullet he had smuggled in by someone else and he retrieved it after. your mother claimed that she didn't know anything about it to begin with but eventually the pressure mad her croak. She was actually the one who wanted you dead in the first place.
To be honest you didn't care about it anymore. You just wanted to leave the hospital and head home. At first there were many cops and reporters there interviewing you. Yet after a few days the activity died down and you were allowed some peace. Unfortunately the peace seemed to come from the fact that they were now bothering Miku and the rest of your family.
There were actually many times that you wanted to go help them. Unfortunately you...well...had been shot. The pain alone was enough to make you collapse every time you tried to get out of the bed. Eventually however that stopped too and you were released. It had been a hard time on everyone and now you had hoped that it would end. To be honest it seemed like it would too.
As you walked through the doors into your apartment where you lived with everyone else you were actually surprised. As soon as you walked in you were almost form tackled by Miku and everyone else let out a big "Surprise!" The room was covered in decorations for your return and there was music playing of all the songs you guys had played together. You were so entrapped in the music and the surprise that it took you a while to realize that Miku was crying while holding you.
"You idiot." She sobbed. "Do you know how worried was for you? How much it hurt to no hear anything? To not know if you were okay?"
You didn't reply outright. There was nothing that really needed to be said about the situation. You simply held her in your arms closely. You had missed her to. It hurt every time that you weren't able to see her.
You enjoyed the party that night and afterwards you went on and kept performing with the band. Many years later you even got married to the woman you loved.
"Did you stay together with her forever dad?" Your son asked very loudly.
What you were about to say died on your lips as you chuckled.
"Honey come here for a moment."
"Coming!" She called from the kitchen.
You heard footsteps and waited as your wife came around the corner. Her short blond hair and green eyes were so beauti-. Wait. You waited as Rin moved out of the way of your real wife. The girl you had married then sat on your lap and draped her arms around your neck.
"What do you need baby?" Miku said as she looked at your kids.
You also looked at your children. "I'd say we're going pretty strong buddy."
Later that night you stared up at the sky with Miku and thought about everything that had led you here.
"Those kids never tire of hearing that story do they?" She asked you as she looked into your eyes.
"Why not? I'd say it's a pretty damn good story."
She laughed at that and kissed you. "It's not over yet baby. But today is and I want sleep. So should you." With that she walked away and went to bed. You watched her as she left before looking back at the sky. You would join her in a couple seconds but for now you wanted some alone time to think.
Suddenly you thought you saw something weird. It was like a hole had opened up in the sky and you could see something that you never thought you would see again. You saw yourself, or rather many of you, but each was different. Most we're younger but some were a bit older. Some were even dead.
There were a few that caught your attention though. One rode a huge gigantic female that was killing other huge people. One had red eyes and very sharp teeth. Yet the weirdest one just may very well be the last one you saw. They you was surrounded by many girls but the main one seemed to be a girl with tomboyish looks, white hair, and held fire in her hands.
Then the portal closed. The Phenmonal event had vanished just as soon as it had appeared and you were left wondering wether or not it was even real. No matter what it really was you were tired. So you wrote it off as sleep deprivation and went to bed. It was a new day worth living tomorrow.
You turned on some music and fell asleep to the song that you felt summed up your life pretty well.
When all you've got are broken dreams We hold on to each other This life can almost kill you It's good to be alive Driving down this highway We hold on to each other This life can almost kill you Its a beautiful night This life can almost kill you And is good to be alive Its a beautiful night
Just need a second chance
And everything you want to be
Gets taken from your hands
All we have is all we need
'Cause one way or another
We always make it, you and me
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with you
Its good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
Its a beautiful night
Its good to be alive (Its good to be alive)
(Its good to be alive) Its good to be alive
(Its good to be alive) (Its good to be alive)
Soaking up the sun
Got miles to go before we get home
And the journey's just begun
You are everything I need
You feel like forever
You're a second chance for me
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with you
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
Its a beautiful night
Its good to be alive
Its all right
Its good to be alive
When you're trying to survive
Its good to be alive (Its good to be alive)
(Its good to be alive) Its good to be alive
(Its good to be alive) (Its good to be alive)
its good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
Its a beautiful night
Its good to be alive
Yeah, its all right
Its good to be alive
